    Ep 54- Cat and Nat Share Mom Secrets

    We are back with another fun episode that will put a smile on your face and laugh in your spirit! I had so much fun interviewing Cat and Nat awhile back that I am glad to share it with you now as we start summer.
    CATHERINE BELKNAP and NATALIE TELFER have been friends since they were teens but grew closer with motherhood when they chose to confide in each other about the more taboo topics of parenting. It wasn’t long after that when they decided to bring the conversation online in hopes of helping other moms feel less isolated. Their rapidly exploding community of like-minded moms tune in every day to watch them rewrite the paradigm of “the perfect mom.”
     When they felt there was no safe space for moms to be themselves, no confidante to turn to without losing prized relationship-. Cat & Nat decided to change this. With seven children between them, the duo has been through it all, and in Mom Secrets (released 3/29/22)—the follow-up to their nationally bestselling Mom Truths—they’ve invited the legion of moms who love them to share their own darkest parenting secrets, and use those to kick off their own stories, going deeper about big topics like guilt, balancing career with motherhood, and body image. Mom Secrets cover confessions such as:
    Being a single parent without friendsFantasizing about running awayWhat to do when kids take parents' "toys" to schooland much more...
    Check out clips from their appearances on The Today Show, GMA Strahan & Sara ‘Momfessions’, TIDE pods commercial, and others.
    CAT & NAT’S MOM SECRETS: Coffee-Fueled Confessions from the Mom Trenches
    by Catherine Belknap & Natalie Telfer
    Praise for Cat and Nat’s Mom Truths:
     
    “What do new mothers need the most? Sleep, for one. But after sleep, they need good friends, people to let them know they aren’t alone in this strange new world they are navigating. Enter Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer ... Their new book is funny, honest, and encouraging.” —New York Post

    “Accept the chaos, embrace the mom bod and stress less about germs, among other things. That’s courtesy of Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer, friends from high school who reconnected as first-time mothers. Parenting books left them feeling like they already blew it, the writers said, so they looked elsewhere for affirmation.”  —Wall Street Journal

DrSucr3 ,

Wonderful!!

This podcast was so helpful. My daughter was having some skin issues and the episode she talked about another mom going through the same thing, she mentioned that vanicream changed the baby’s skin. I immediately bought the cream and it works!!!! I had tried everything!! It cleared up her skin in less than a week and she has no more dry patches. Thank you so much!!

OM_BayArea ,

Inspirational!

I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning and have been inspired to touch the lives of children in my life and around me. Ekua does a great job of making the information shared relatable and relevant. I absolutely love her calm soothing voice! Keep up the good work of encouraging mamas CEO - chief encouragement officer 👍🏾😉!
