This episode isn’t just about sports, it’s about life lessons, how to navigate adult hypocrisy, and why following rules too early in life is overrated. Plus, tips on how to keep your sense of humor when your kid’s team is “pay-to-play,” and why modesty still makes Canadian hockey players charming (yes, really).

Perfect for parents who are tired of the fake rules society keeps forcing on us, and parents who just want a good laugh before their next hockey game or PTA meeting. Whether you’re dodging hockey secrets, trying to teach your kid to give respect, or just wondering if everyone else is as confused as you are, this episode’s your new parenting cheat code.

Think of it as the comedy you need to survive the chaos, with a side of hockey stats and childhood truths that will make you smile and nod knowingly. Ready to laugh in the face of the rules society told you to follow? Hit play—and remember, sometimes you gotta fake it till you make it... with a little humor on the side.

This episode dives into the real reasons our kids are glued to their phones (hint: dopamine addiction, not FOMO) and how to rewire their brains for satisfaction in real life, not just social media scrolls. We break down the science behind purpose, confidence, and responsibility with practical hacks like Saturday team chores, meaningful responsibilities, and how to teach kids courage by making mistakes.

You’ll discover:

• Why “doing nothing” is the root of brain fog and anxiety—and how purpose is the antidote
• Simple routines to turn procrastination into productivity (without yelling)
• The secret to building resilience and confidence through small, manageable risks
• How to get your kids to love chores by framing them as teamwork, not punishment
• The one thing missing from most kids’ days that’s leaving them anxious and aimless

Ignore this advice at your peril—because if you don’t teach kids to handle frustration, failure, and responsibilities now, they’ll be lost in the adult world flailing for purpose. If you're over the chaos, ready to raise resilient, independent little humans who know their worth without constant validation, this episode is your new parenting playbook.

Perfect for exhausted parents craving sanity, teens craving independence, and anyone tired of the endless “Why won’t they just do it” battle.

Bonus: We’re dropping science-backed strategies, real-life stories, and no-nonsense tips to make parenting feel less like a war and more like a team sport. Tune in—your future self (and your kids) will thank you.

In this rollercoaster episode, Cat & Nat peel back the curtain on their wild postpartum journeys, complete with lingerie in the delivery room, mini Oreos for survival, and unbelievable hospital stories. You’ll discover: how perfectionist control falls apart in the first six months, the shocking reality of sleep training and weight loss expectations, and the crazy things we did to feel in control, like wardrobe planning for after birth. We break down the unspoken chaos of new motherhood, the mental health lows no one talks about, and the importance of asking are you okay? but in a non creepy way before the dark thoughts take over.

This isn’t your typical “she’s fine, she’s tired” postpartum chat. It’s a raw, hilarious look at the real struggles behind the Instagram perfect scenes, because if you think parenthood is just cuddles and cute photos, think again. The stakes? Missing out on your own sanity if you don’t talk about it.

Finding humor and hope among the chaos because you’re not alone in the trenches.

Perfect for expecting moms, new parents, or anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re just losing it, spoiler: you’re not alone. Tune in if you want a life-saving dose of reality, a few belly laughs, and the reminder that sometimes, just surviving the day is an epic victory.

Remember when you were young and had a crush...you hung out with the same friend group, drank a bit, made out a little, and suddenly you were together. Basically, if you were talking to someone, you were dating them. Fast forward to today and we genuinely don’t understand the rules anymore. If we were single and dating a man our age (or younger!), we’d 100% still be playing by the old-fashioned rules. The question is, would he be doing the same!?

Divorce is an act of courage. It takes bravery to choose a different life, especially when kids are involved. Women aren’t leaving because they’re giving up — they’re leaving because they believe they deserve happiness and want to model healthy relationships for their children. It's a complicated decision. No one prepares you for this. And the person you married is not the person you divorce!

She also shares why collaboration between parents, teens, and tech companies is so important for supporting young people and helping families feel more confident for the digital years ahead.
