Conversations with Cam

In this solo episode, I dive into all things pregnancy and body image, from why this pregnancy feels different from the first; to the confusing concept of glamorizing my first pregnancy; to how I’ve been feeling in my pregnant body so far. I share details about the discomfort I currently feel in my body, not feeling confident in clothes or with my appearance, and the simultaneous guilt that comes with critiquing my body image. I also discuss mourning my past body confidence and acceptance, what I’m anxious about regarding the second half of my pregnancy and the unknowns ahead, and how I’m trying to practice gratitude for my body moving forward.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Why this pregnancy feels different from the first

In this episode, I sit down with human design coach, author, and mother Alexandra Cole. We discuss all things human design: what it is, how it works, and the five energy types that differentiate people. Alexandra explains how knowing your child’s energy type is so valuable in parenting, how to work based on your energy’s consistencies and inconsistencies, and how knowing your Ego, Identity, and Decision-Making Centers can help you further align with your true self. We also unpack a recent “good on paper” opportunity I passed on and why, how to navigate decision-making as an emotions-driven person, and how the way you see yourself can be very different from how others see you.

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Why the human design method resonated with Alexandra as a results-driven person
• What is human design?
• The five different energy types
• The value as a parent in knowing your child’s energy type
• How to work in relation to your energy’s consistencies and inconsistencies

• On questioning healthy attachment with your child
• My recent experience of passing on a “good on paper” opportunity
