Catherine Belknap is one half of Cat & Nat — two moms debunking the myth challenging the scripts and giving women the freedom to say what's on their minds. Cat & Nat host the highly ranked Cat & Nat Unfiltered podcast, are public speakers, TV personalities, social media leaders, bestselling authors, and all around hilarious moms who take their humor on tour to help inspire other women to find their true selves. Today, Cat and I have a great conversation about how Cat & Nat didn’t set out to become influencers, and why their platform is meant to give others permission to be themselves. We also chat about what Cat’s navigating as a mother, and Cat illustrates the power of showing up in your imperfection from a place of love — and with humor. This is such a powerful episode about authenticity. It’s such a gift to yourself and others around you, and I am grateful for this conversation about the importance of loving and expressing all parts of yourself, even (and especially!) the messy ones. IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:- (3:44) How Cat & Nat’s authenticity pushed them into influencer world - (6:40) The power of not trying to be someone you’re not - (7:48) How Cat & Nat met in highschool and an inner source of resilience - (10:46) How Cat defines presence - (13:36) The synchronicity of Cat & Nat’s and Cat & Nat’s grandmothers’ friendship - (17:58) One of the hardest things Cat’s worked through- (21:18) Why Cat & Nat’s tour is permission slip to be joyful - (27:28) Future projects Cat & Nat are working on - (28:55) Cat’s reminder for moms  CONNECT WITH CAT & NATCat & Nat Unfiltered PodcastThe Common Parent Community Follow Cat & Nat on Instagram: @catandnatCat & Nat’s Website: catandnat.caHang out with Cat & Nat on tour CONNECT WITH DANETTEFollow Danette: @thedanettemayFacebook: Danette MayTikTok: @thedanettemayListen to ManifestivalBuy my bookWork With Danette Mentioned in this episode:Save Your Seat for Manifestival Podcast LIVE in Los Angeles!Come join us in an intimate setting in Los Angeles where we will grow and expand as Danette interviews inspiring actors, entrepreneurs and spiritual teachers.
