Conversations with Cam

In this episode, I sit down with Superhuman App creator Mimi Bouchard to discuss all things visualization and the power of intentional thinking. Mimi shares her trajectory over the past ten years and how she became passionate about personal development, how what she calls the “what if” pull guided her towards her true potential, and why perfection is a fallacy and your bounce-back rate is much more important. She talks about how she started practicing self-guided visualization which ultimately led to creating the Superhuman App, how your beliefs about yourself and the world around you create your life, and how you can tap into your future self frequency to embody the person you’ve always wanted to be.Key Takeaway / Points:On being a sharer and how that intersects with Mimi’s contentMimi’s ten year journey towards personal development On feeling the “what if” pull and sensing your true potentialOn the fallacy of perfection and the importance of the bounce back rateOn the numbing aspects of social media On the origins of Mimi’s app, SuperHuman, and how she started practicing visualizationHow your beliefs create your lifeOn living your life as if you’ve already achieved what you wantOn tapping into your future self frequencyCheck out The Success Principles by Jack Canfield hereVisit superhuman.app to get 2 weeks freeThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with financial therapist Aja Evans to discuss all things money and our complex emotions around finances. Aja shares how she came to financial therapy, how we perceive wealth as children and how that shapes us as adults, and how the “more” mentality can be a recipe for disaster. She talks about the necessity for women to empower themselves with financial awareness, how to talk about money with your partner and how it can bring about positive opportunities, and how to start getting curious about your root causes of financial anxiety or fear. Finally, she answers listener questions on managing the mental load of student debt, deciding how much you can spend on yourself, and why we spend money when we’re stressed.Key Takeaway / Points:On what a financial therapist doesHow Aja came to be a financial therapist and the awakening she had about money in her twentiesHow we perceive wealth as children and how that shapes us as adultsOn how the “more” mentality can be a recipe for disasterOn small steps to implement to get comfortable talking about moneyOn the necessity of women empowering themselves with financial awarenessOn the positive opportunities that can arise from talking about money with your partnerOn understanding that everyone has different relationships or triggers with moneyOn unpacking your root cause of money anxiety or fearAnswering listener questions on:Managing the mental load of student debtTips for supporting parents who are not financially stableOn deciding how much you can spend on yourselfThe psychology of why we spend money when we’re stressedThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this solo episode, I share how maternity leave has been so far with a toddler and a newborn, and how we’re adjusting as a family of four. I discuss what it’s like being immersed back into a newborn’s schedule and the anticipatory anxiety I’ve been feeling around time, how I feel more prepared and confident as a mother this time around, and why we’re resisting the urge to compare the two newborn experiences. I talk about the difficulties I’ve had with not being able to give both children my full attention at once, why we’re starting the weaning process with our newborn now, and how prioritizing rest has been huge recently. Finally, I share what it’s been like to navigate work and comparison anxiety during maternity leave, and how different my mental health is now versus postpartum in 2021.Key Takeaway / Points:On being immersed back into a newborn’s scheduleOn anticipatory anxiety and being hyper aware of time right nowRecapping my first child’s newborn experienceOn feeling prepared and confident about the small things this time aroundOn resisting the impulse to compare the newborn experiencesOn struggling with not being able to give both children your full attention at onceOn starting the weaning process and why we’re forgoing breast-feedingOn trying not to blame anything on the baby in front of your toddlerOn making room for one-on-one time with my toddlerOn deciding to get nighttime help this time around and prioritizing restOn navigating comparison anxiety during maternity leaveOn the difference in my mental health now versus 2021 postpartumThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with Paris McLean – Assistant Head of School for Diversity, Inclusion, and Anti-Racism at Montclair Kimberley Academy, and my old friend – to discuss navigating conversations on race, how we can talk to our children about race, diversity, and equity, and how parents can be mindful about raising their children in diverse and inclusive environments. Paris speaks about his role in education and the foundational themes of his work, his experience growing up biracial, and how parents can use children’s literature as a powerful tool to start conversations. He also discusses the many different facets of diversity, how families can navigate raising children in a predominantly white community, and answers listener questions on explaining privilege, raising biracial children, and more.Key Takeaway / Points:How we know each other and how Paris has played a role in my and my husband’s livesParis’s role in education and the themes of his workOn how diversity and equity work will never be “over”On Paris’s experience growing up biracialOn navigating uncomfortable commentary made by others about biracial childrenOn having conversations about race with childrenOn feeling responsible for your child’s privilegeWorkshopping an example with my son and talking about raceOn the power of children’s literature to start conversations at homeOn the many different facets of diversityHow families can navigate raising their children in a predominantly white communityAnswering listener questions on raising biracial children, explaining privilege, and navigating conversations about race among familyVisit Lee & Low books hereCheck out “It’s Okay to be Different” by Todd Parr hereCheck out “Mixed Me!” by Taye Diggs hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Nicole Landry, aka “The Birds Papaya,” to discuss how motherhood has shaped her; from the wide-ranging birthing and postpartum experiences she had with each of her four children; to the identity crisis that came in her late twenties; to the importance of setting up systems in your life so you don’t lose yourself in motherhood.

In this solo episode, I make a brief comeback from maternity leave to give a full update on the craziness that has happened in the last week and a half of this pregnancy. I share a timeline of my prodromal labor experience, from the multiple hospital visits; to having ongoing contractions and being several centimeters dilated; to finally getting a scheduled induction. I unpack the confusion of feeling like I don’t know my own body, the anxiety of not knowing how to interpret my labor signals, how frustrating it has been not having any answers from the medical community, and more. Finally, I sign off for maternity leave for the last time (fingers crossed), and hope that this third visit to the hospital is the charm.Key Takeaway / Points:On taking a brief pause from maternity leaveOn taking meticulous notes throughout pregnancy (and life)On the importance of not comparing pregnancies with othersA timeline and update on my prodromal labor experience, from my multiple hospital visits to scheduling an inductionOn the confusion of not knowing my own bodyOn the anxiety of not knowing how to interpret my labor signalsOn the mental load of not having any answersOn breaking down in the hospitalOn feeling unheard and pushed aside by the medical systemOn waiting for the scheduled induction and signing off for maternity leave for the final timeThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
