Conversations with Cam

In this episode, I detail all of my pregnancy symptoms, thoughts, and feelings during weeks 16-19! While I've officially entered the honeymoon phase, it has not come without its low points. I share everything from the crash outs I’ve had while getting dressed, to dealing with complicated feelings around weight gain and body image, and why people's obsession with baby gender is starting to become offensive. I also discuss my quick trip to LA, the pure joy of finally feeling real baby kicks, and why I genuinely think we are all way too chill about women just existing in the world while growing a human.

Key Takeaway / Points: 

• Why maternity denim will never be the same as real jeans

• Starting pelvic floor physical therapy (& trying not to pee myself constantly)

• How I’m finding body-neutrality with weight gain this pregnancy

• The joy of a not finding out the sex of the baby until delivery

• Baby kicks and the realness of this pregnancy setting in

• Throwing up six times on the side of an LA highway and my 48-hour headache

• Current food obsessions: chicken caesar wraps, Coldstone, & Ruffles chips

In this episode sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, I sit down with world champion sprinter and mental health advocate Jasmine Blocker. Jasmine talks about how sports have shaped her life and her decision to speak openly about mental health. She also shares her journey with major depressive disorder (MDD)—cycling through adequate trials of multiple depression medications without finding symptom relief—before being diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

Jasmine discusses what it meant to finally receive a TRD diagnosis, actively participating in treatment decisions, and how SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray helped relieve her depressive symptoms. Every patient’s experience is different, so if you or an adult you know has been experiencing TRD, talk to a healthcare provider about SPRAVATO® and whether it may be the right fit. Visit SPRAVATO.com to learn more, including information on serious side effects such as sedation, dissociation, respiratory depression, and the risk of abuse and misuse.

In this episode, I sit down with parenting expert and founder of Good Inside, Dr. Becky Kennedy, to talk about building resilience for our kids and finding patience in parenting. We break down the difference between “sturdy” parenting and “gentle” parenting, how to set boundaries with your kids while staying emotionally connected, and why our job as parents isn’t to make our kids happy all the time. Dr. Becky shares practical parenting tips for handling big feelings and difficult behaviors (especially hitting and tantrums), why allowing space for all feelings actually builds confidence, mom rage, the importance of repair, and why the perfect parent doesn’t and shouldn’t exist. 

Key Takeaway / Points:

• Dr. Becky’s Good Inside approach for building resilience and confidence in kids

• What "sturdy parenting" actually means

• Why optimizing for your kid's happiness right now could be wiring them for anxiety later

• How to repair after you've lost it on your kids (because we all do)
