CAT AND NAT - Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer Interview

Social media sensations and hilarious duo, Cat & Nat talk about their motherhood skills engaging their own 7 children during stay at home learning and their newest tool … a free mobile app.

Fellow Toronto gals Cat & Nat quickly become the app’s strongest advocates. The self-deprecating and slightly sardonic duo, who confront the trials and tribulations of motherhood head-on, have turned to Bansho to engage their own seven kids throughout this new normal of stay-at-home learning.

As many parents struggle with today’s chaotic learning environment and unhealthy media habits, Bansho provides a safe and stimulating environment to empower kids to explore content online with minimal parental supervision. Using the app’s analytics, parents and guardians can gain valuable insights on their kids’ learning progress. Parents can feel confident their kids are getting quality learning from leading educators when Bansho is the source of their screen time. On-the-go subjects currently include math, reading, world languages, science, social studies, dance, art, music, social-emotional skills, with more to come.

With seven kids between the two of them, Cat & Nat know just how lonely and isolating motherhood can be. So, they set out on a mission to bring women and moms together by hosting dinner parties and events - with wine and without babies. The events garnered huge success in Toronto and were talked about all over, leading Cat & Nat to take things to the next level and break into the online world to reach more people and connect women and moms everywhere.

Cat & Nat's rapidly-exploding community of like-minded moms tune in every day to watch them rewrite the paradigm of “the perfect mom.” With honesty and humor, Cat & Nat dismantle the unrealistic portrayals of motherhood that are often presented throughout social and traditional medias. Through their virally famous #MOMTRUTHS, which have garnered hundreds of millions of views around the world, and their daily Facebook Live show, Cat & Nat share everything moms think but are too afraid to talk about.
