Conversations with Cam

In this solo episode, I dive into the ongoing conversation around sharing children on social media. I discuss how Joe and I navigate sharing our first now, how that has evolved over time, and how it might change as he gets older. I also unpack the feeling of being out of control of your child’s image, feeling exploitative of your child, and recent experiences that have shifted the way I view this topic. Finally, I share listener comments and questions about my process with protecting his privacy, how others feel about publicly sharing their children, and how to set boundaries with your family on sharing your child.  Follow Mom Uncharted here  Follow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersWebsite: freckledfoodie.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogersTwitter: @freckledfoodieYoutube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled FoodiePinterest: Freckled Foodie Creative Lead: Amelie YeagerProduced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I sit down with my cousin, Carly Loveman. We discuss all things body image, from a recent diet culture conversation we had in our family, to growing up in a prominent diet culture environment, to navigating how to speak up for yourself amongst family members. Carly shares body commentary that influenced her self-image growing up, her history with anxiety around clothing and dressing for events, and the work she has put in post-pandemic to cultivate self-love.

In this solo episode, I explore all of my thoughts around the idea of having a second child – purely conceptual, not a pregnancy announcement! I discuss the recent pressure I’ve felt that it’s “go time” for Kid Number Two, our Month 15 bliss with my first, and the fear of disrupting our current groove with another baby. I also explain our surprise pregnancy with my first, and why that’s feeding my own uncertainties about another conception and postpartum experience. Finally, I read listener stories about feeling scared of giving less to your firstborn, being much more confident as a second-time mom, and deciding to be “one and done” and grappling with feeling secure in that decision.

In this solo episode, I unpack my emotions around the concept of comparison and dive into why I (and many others) believe it is the thief of joy. I talk about my history with comparing, some recent examples of how it has gotten in the way of my happiness, and what I think causes the comparison. Specifically, I discuss the role my ego plays in it all. Full disclosure, I took an edible right before recording this episode and it definitely hits midway through, so this is also an inside look into my *edible therapy sessions* that I reference as one of the reasons why I love cannabis Key Takeaway / Points: Why comparison is the thief of joy How I felt returning to social media after a week off for vacation Comparison as a mom and some recent examples where it has gotten in the way of my happiness Why our ego plays a huge role in this topic An inside look into my *edible therapy sessions* Follow me: Instagram: @cameronoaksrogers Website: freckledfoodie.com TikTok: @cameronoaksrogers Twitter: @freckledfoodie Youtube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled Foodie Pinterest: Freckled Foodie This episode was edited by Tim Flanzbaum Hosted on Acast.
