The Whole Thing- Redefining Resilience Through Whole Person Wellness

Bodybuilding and the fitness industry built more than my body.

I started in fitness and bodybuilding, moved into MMA, and now compete in Power Slap. Different worlds, but I’ve taken what those early years taught me into every one of them.

Discipline. Consistency. Patience. Resilience. 

Showing up before there’s proof it’s working.

Catching up with Muscle & Fitness over Olympia Weekend felt like a pretty cool full-circle moment.

Turns out, you don’t always leave a chapter behind. Sometimes you build the next one on top of it!

September is National Suicide Prevention Month and I wouldn't be me if I didn't add to the coversation. 

In this episode I'm sharing some the of the harder and less talked about parts of losing my brother, the grief, the aftermath and what healing and continuing foward actually looked like for me. 

We talk about the complicated reality of navigating co-occuring addiction and mental health challenges like depression and anxiety.

I didn't dive too deep into everything and intentionally wanted to keep the conversation a little lighter. Talking about it alone to a camera was harder than I expected, and I think sitting down with someone for a deeper conversation might be easier next time. 

But hopefully sharing some of my experience helps you feel a little more supported and understood if you've lost somone too. I defintely don't have all the answers, just my experience with grief, healing and few things that helped me keep moving forward after something changes your life forever.

⚾️ NEW EPISODE  MICHAEL McCARTHY

What can baseball coach teach us about failure, performance, resilience, and continuing when things don’t go your way?

A lot, apparently.

Michael McCarthy is a professional pitching and mental performance coach whose career has taken him through six Major League organizations and across six continents working with athletes.

A former pre-med student, Mike made the decision to pivot and pursue baseball—going from a Division III walk-on to a Division I All-American and ultimately building a career in professional baseball.

His expertise spans biomechanics, data analytics, mental performance, and evidence-based coaching, but his story goes well beyond the field.

We talk about career pivots, failure vs. success, coaching, mental performance, mentorship, resilience, and what high-level athletes actually need to keep going.

And, naturally, the most important questions:

⚾️ Sunflower seeds or gum?
🎬 Best baseball movie of all time?

This week on the show, I sit down with @eddiebarraco

Eddie is a 2x Ultimate Fighter coach, an Xtreme Couture coach, and an MMA and Muay Thai veteran with more than 20 years of coaching experience.

We talk about his journey as a fighter, coach, and human; how he navigates the intensity, pressure, and emotional highs and lows that come with coaching and supporting fighters; and what it really takes to stay in the game.

We also chat about one of his fighter’s incredible stories of resilience in motion—from making it to the UFC, being released, and earning his way back. He’s now fighting on one of the biggest cards of the year.

We cover Eddie’s thoughts heading into International Fight Week, the matchup between Conor and Max, and the No. 1 skill he believes separates the fighters who make it from those who don’t.

And when it’s all said and done, I wanted to know what he hopes his fighters remember him for and what success looks like to him now.

This is a great episode to tune into if you’re a fighter, wanting to fight, an MMA fan, coach, dad, or the partner supporting an athlete or coach along the way.

Welcome to The Camee Adams Show!

In this first episode, I share who I am, why I started this podcast, and the idea that became the foundation of my books, speaking, and work today:

Resilience is a Skill.™

We talk about what resilience really looks like in the middle of hard things, not after you’ve made it through them.

If you’re rebuilding, healing, pursuing a goal, navigating change, or simply trying to become the next version of yourself, this show is for you.

We’ll explore resilience, whole-person wellness, performance, mindset, mental wellness, and real-life conversations that help you continue moving forward.

New solo episodes every other Wednesday with guest conversations in between.

Welcome to the show.

What does it take to make it to the NBA and who do you become after?

This week, I sit down with former NBA player, entrepreneur, investor, and children’s book author C.J. Watson to talk about the journey behind the success.

From making it to the NBA to writing books for kids and building businesses off the court, C.J. shares lessons on growth, perseverance, and finding purpose through every season of life.

We discuss the realities of chasing big dreams, the lessons from a 10-year NBA career, stories about Kobe Bryant and Barron Davis, life after basketball, fatherhood, resilience, investing, and the inspiration behind his children’s book series.

From professional sports to storytelling, this conversation is full of perspective, humor, and reminders that success is rarely a straight line and sometimes a little magic helps get you there!
