Trigger Warning: Discussion of Infertility and Pregnancy Loss. In this episode (originally aired on 3/5/25), I sit down with Dr. Molly Burrets, a clinical psychologist and fertility expert, to discuss reproductive grief and the emotional challenges of infertility. We explore the concept of reproductive grief, its impact on individuals and relationships, and strategies for coping with fertility struggles. Dr. Burrets shares her personal journey with secondary infertility, IVF, and the complexities of navigating pregnancy after loss. We discuss the importance of setting boundaries, finding joy amidst grief, and how to support loved ones experiencing fertility challenges.

In this episode (originally aired on 6/5/24), I sit down with Eve Rodsky, creator, founder, and author of Fair Play: a life-management and household organization system. Eve and I discuss her feminist upbringing and how her experiences in the corporate world were inhospitable to motherhood, how she created the Fair Play system and why a “blueberry text” from her husband was the catalyst, and why it’s essential to change from the reactive to the systematic when implementing change. Eve talks about the burden of invisible work that women so often take upon themselves in the home, she explains how the Fair Play cards work, and we discuss listener feedback on the most difficult parts of the mental load. Finally, we talk about why it’s so hard to have these conversations with our partners, what defines a “unicorn space” versus other types of fun, and why it is essential for our happiness and longevity to create “I can’t fucking believe I just did that” moments in our lives.Key Takeaway / Points:Why I recommend Eve’s method to anyone who will listenOn “Fair Play,” Eve’s life-management and household organization methodEve’s upbringing in a post-70s feminist waveEve’s experience as a young mother in the corporate worldWhy America isn’t designed to support mothersOn the goal of being consistently interested in your own lifeWhy “hobbies” are not serving usThe “blueberry text” that led to Eve creating the Fair Play systemOn changing from the reactive to the systematicOn invisible work and “The Shit I Do” spreadsheetA deep dive into how the Fair Play cards workListener feedback on the most difficult parts of the mental loadWhy it’s so difficult to have these conversationsWhy society views women’s time as infiniteOn the sanctity of “unicorn space”On creating “I can’t fucking believe I just did that” moments for yourselfStream the Fair Play documentary on Hulu HERERead Fair Play HEREBuy the Fair Play card deck HEREWatch this episode on YouTube HEREFollow Eve:Instagram: @fairplaylifeWebsite: www.fairplaylife.comFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogers and @conversations_with_camSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogers and @conversations_with_camYoutube: Cameron Rogers

In this episode (originally aired on 1/22/25), my husband, Joe, joins me to talk about parenting, marriage, and how our relationship has evolved over the years from dating in high school to being parents of two. Joe shares his perspective on having a partner who struggles with mental health, how he best supports me, and reflects on whether he feels guilt or FOMO as a father when he gets time to himself. We discuss our division of labor and how we delineate tasks, how we deal with the mental overload of parenting, and how we moved through our “roommate phase” during postpartum. We also talk about advice for parents with kids having a “preferential parent” phase, the principles we try to live by as a family, working through disagreements while actively parenting, and much more.Key Takeaway / Points:Our relationship journey, from dating in high school to our experience in collegeJoe’s perspective on having a partner who struggles with their mental healthAdvice for those with partners struggling with ADHD and/or emotional overwhelmOn whether he feels guilt as a father when he gets time to himselfOn feeling FOMO with our kids and witnessing special momentsOn our division of labor and how we delineate tasksOn describing the mental load of parenting to someone who doesn’t understandOn moving through the roommate phaseWhat Joe learned from my postpartum journeyOn his favorite parts about being a parent and the most challengingOn Joe’s experience with the transition from one to two kidsAdvice for parents experiencing a preferential parent phaseOn the principles we try to live by as a familyOn working through resentment and arguments while actively parentingOn Joe’s unique relationship with my momHow Joe feels about my jobWhat we’re most proud of each other forFollow me:Instagram: ⁠@cameronoaksrogers⁠ and ⁠@conversations_with_cam⁠Substack: ⁠Fill Your Cup⁠Website: ⁠cameronoaksrogers.com⁠TikTok: ⁠@cameronoaksrogers⁠ and ⁠@conversations_with_cam⁠Youtube: ⁠Cameron Rogers⁠

In this episode (originally aired on 5/8/24), I sit down with clinical psychologist, Dr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes, to discuss all things parent-child attachment, why we all have the tools to attain secure attachment, and why we can’t be perfect parents. Jaclyn explains the four attachment styles, the primary components of secure attachment, and what “rupture and repair” means. She also shares why it’s essential to know your “shark music” as a parent, whether sleep training, breastfeeding, and daycare/nannies affect attachment, and how child attachment changes with age. Finally, she discusses fostering secure attachment with your child as the non-birthing parent, the impact of maternal mental health on attachment, and how we can initiate repair if there has been a rupture.Key Takeaway / Points:Dr. Nofech-Mozes’ background as a clinical psychologistWhat is parent-infant attachment?On the four attachment stylesWhy we don’t need to be the perfect parentThe primary components of secure attachmentOn “rupture and repair”On recognizing your “shark music”Whether sleep training, breast feeding, and daycare/nannies affect attachmentHow child attachment changes with ageHow you can develop a secure attachment with your child if you had an insecure attachment with a parent growing upOn fostering attachment with the non-birthing partnerWhy some mothers feel that “instant bond” and others don’tOn the impact of maternal mental health on attachmentAdvice for how to initiate repairWatch this episode on YouTube HEREDr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes practice: OrKid PyschologyFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogersYoutube: Cameron Rogers
