Roam With Cam

How do you know when it's time to make a change, especially when nothing is obviously wrong?

Jennifer Mulholland has made that call more than once. Heading into her senior year as a two-sport Division I athlete at Delaware, something wasn't sitting right. She felt pulled toward the mountains, so she laid a map on the floor and landed on Utah. She came for a semester and stayed, founding Women's Wasatch Lacrosse, a nonprofit that started Utah's first high school and club teams, and ran it for five years.

That pattern kept showing up. She became Chief Innovation Officer at a Fortune 500 company, then co-founded a consulting firm and retreat center that brought meditation and purpose work to organizations like Maker's Mark and World Wildlife Fund. Most recently, she left that to become a spiritual teacher. Each time, she didn't wait for things to break. She paid attention to the restlessness and acted on it.

In this episode, we get practical about trusting your gut. What does it actually feel like in your body? How do you tell it apart from fear or overthinking? How do you quiet your mind enough to hear it? And once you know, how do you move through the discomfort of acting on it?

We also talk about the grief of leaving something good, why a hard feeling often needs attention more than a fix, and simple ways to reset when you feel stuck.

What does it take to sell a thriving local business, move across the world, and buy an abandoned lodge at the base of Mt. Myoko in Japan?

Jared Benvenuto was told growing up that he'd never amount to anything. He didn't go to college, spent four years chasing acting in Hollywood, and ended up back home bartending in South Lake Tahoe.

Then one chance night in Thailand handed him two ideas. The first was a rolled ice cream business he and his wife Lorena started with their own money at farmers markets, which became Aloha Ice Cream, a local institution they spent years building. The second sat dormant for ten years: the memory of a hostel owner he met that same night, who proved you could build a business in a country that isn't your own.

Throughout this episode, we talk about selling the thing you built, committing to ideas long before you can afford them, and what it actually costs to start over somewhere you don't speak the language.

A conversation about conviction without credentials, and believing in yourself before anyone gives you a reason to.

Aaron James Yager has been doing self-development work since he was nine years old, when his grandfather dared him to read a book, listen to a tape, or watch a video every day for a year in exchange for a stereo.

That dare became a lifestyle. By 18, he was studying NLP and hypnotherapy. Nearly 30 years and thousands of sessions later, he facilitates breathwork and coaches people through what he calls rewiring the operating system.

We talk about Invision Fest and Burning Man as places that teach you to stop thinking and start trusting your gut. We get into emotions as data points, rather than things to fix or suppress, but messages from a body that's been trying to talk to you.

Aaron breaks down what actually happens during somatic breathwork, why 60 seconds of sitting with a feeling can change more than five minutes of analyzing it, and why the work is never one and done.

A conversation about presence, letting go, and learning to trust the system you were born with.

Mike Woodby has spent years coaching people through weight rooms, but the conversations that happen between sets changed how he thinks about people entirely.

When I asked him what strength training actually does, he didn't talk about muscle. He talked about the mind-body connection—proving to your brain that you're safe in hard situations—and how that carries over into everything else.

We talk about injury, identity, active recovery, longevity, and why most coaches accidentally project their own goals onto the people they're trying to help. Mike references a Ram Dass quote about therapists, a 700-page book called Behave, and what it feels like to walk away from something meaningful to build something you can't yet talk about.

One in three people who start a training program quit within the first month. Mike's focus is on closing that gap—not by pushing harder, but by actually hearing what someone needs and meeting them where they are.

A conversation about why doing hard things makes the rest of life easier.

We hope you’ll listen along and find a little inspiration for your own journey.

Nicole Hamic has guided over 300 births as a doula and birth photographer. When I asked her what a doula does, she said: "I'm like a wedding planner, except for your birth."

We talk about what it means to hold someone through one of life's most intense transitions, but the conversation goes further. Birth rights, reproductive choice, abortion, conscious conception, and what happens when we trust women versus control them. Nicole's work puts her at the intersection of healthcare, human rights, and the politics of bodies.

One in three women describes their birth as traumatic. Nicole's focus is on reducing that number–not by managing outcomes, but by helping people understand the terrain and honoring their autonomy in the process.

A conversation about guidance, choice, trust, and what we owe each other in moments that change us.
