Conversations with Cam

In this episode, 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 Fairplay hereBuy the Fairplay card deck hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I catch up with my sister Lucy to answer listener questions on everything from petty fights to our parents recently selling our childhood home. We discuss why it was so emotional to say goodbye to the house, both for us and our friends, and how we want to recreate that same nostalgia and welcoming atmosphere in our own homes. We also talk about when Lucy and her boyfriend Tyler plan on getting married, Lucy’s feelings on not being on her older sisters’ “timelines,” and her favorite things about being an aunt. Finally, we discuss our biggest millennial “icks” and close it out with a game of 1,2,3 boop!Key Takeaway / Points:Petty sister fights and reverting to our childhood selvesOn selling our childhood homeOur experiences saying goodbye to the houseOn wanting to create nostalgia and a welcoming atmosphere in our own homesLucy’s feelings on not being on her older sisters’ “timelines”Lucy’s favorite things about being an auntLucy’s biggest millennial “icks”Find info about the march in DC with March Fourth see hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with Bachelor favorite Bri Springs to discuss all things Bachelor Nation and how someone who had never seen The Bachelor before ended up on the show. Bri shares what it’s like to meet fans and why she was initially vulnerable about being “that girl from The Bachelor,” how she processed being broken up with on national television, and what it was like returning home from the show and assimilating into normal life. She also talks about why she wanted to go back to the corporate world after her TV experience, how she decided whether or not she was going to be the next Bachelorette, and why craving purpose and structure is what fuels her decision-making now. Finally, we discuss Bri’s upbringing and how being raised by a teen mother shaped her, the boxes we are all put in in family dynamics, how she looks at love now and has reframed the meaning of partnership, and much more.Key Takeaway / Points:How Bri ended up on The BachelorOn being broken up with on national televisionOn returning home from the show and assimilating back into lifeWhy Bri wanted to go back to the corporate world after The BachelorOn deciding whether or not she wanted to be the next BacheloretteOn craving purpose and structure in her lifeOn Bri’s upbringing and being raised by a teen motherOn being put in “boxes” in family dynamicsOn the myth of “having it all” and why the Internet is lying to usHow Bri looks at love now and examines partnershipReframing whether a partner is “the one”This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this solo episode, I answer listener questions on all things nanny-related, from why we made the decision to get full-time care; to how we went about the process from start to finish. I share how I’ve been reconnecting with myself lately and why it has a lot to do with our recent nanny hire, what our history of childcare has looked like through the years, and why we chose a nanny vs. daycare. I then answer questions on how we found our nanny, what the interview process looked like, and how we figured out what worked for us. I also discuss the guilt I feel for “losing” time with my kids and struggling with FOMO, how I create distance while working from home, and why it’s so important to be honest and transparent about childcare.Key Takeaway / Points:How I’ve been reconnecting with myself latelyOur history of childcareWhy we made the decision to get full-time careOn choosing a nanny vs. daycareHow we found our nanny, from the search process; to interviewing; to hiringHow we figured out what we wanted, contracts, and divvying up household tasksOn the guilt I feel for “losing” time with my kids and feeling FOMOOn creating distance while working from home On the importance of being honest and transparent about childcareThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, 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:Jaclyn’s 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 repairFind Jaclyn’s website hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

She shares details about her recent engagement, why she has always felt she wanted an intimate wedding, and how she plans to include her friends in the celebration.

In this solo episode, I unpack how both of my postpartum experiences have differed, from my relationships with anxiety and depression; to my fixation on controlling outcomes; to how I have prioritized self care and developed mental health toolkits for myself. I recap my first postpartum experience in 2021, sharing what my relationship with anxiety was like before getting pregnant and how it manifested in postpartum, and how my need for control created obsessive behaviors. I then share my second and most recent postpartum experience, from dealing with sleep issues with both children; to feeling mentally stronger; to letting go of how things “should be” and embracing them for what they are. Finally, I share what I wish I had started earlier during postpartum, and what I would tell myself as a first-time mother experiencing both the highs and lows of postpartum.Key Takeaway / Points:Recapping my first postpartum experience in 2021My relationship with anxiety and journey with anxiety medication before getting pregnantOn planning for postpartum anxiety and depression before giving birthWhen and how my mental health struggles hit during postpartumHow I developed a self-care toolkit and prioritized my mental healthOn experiencing intrusive thoughtsOn my need for control and planning obsessivelyMy postpartum experience with our second childOn dealing with sleep issues with both childrenWhat has helped with my mental health this time aroundOn letting go of control as a second-time momWhat I wish I had started earlier during postpartumWhat I would tell myself during my first postpartum experienceThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Levy, author of “Drinking Games,” to talk about her journey to becoming sober and how drinking played a role in her life up through her twenties. Sarah shares how her relationship with alcohol evolved over time, how hustle culture in New York affected her drinking habits, and why multiple stints of moderation and abstinence didn’t work. She also discusses how her drinking affected her friendships, what happened when she experienced a “final straw” moment, and how she got sober. Finally, Sarah shares advice for people with friends who struggle with alcohol, provides her own recovery toolkit for maintaining sobriety, and discusses how motherhood and sobriety continue to shape her.Key Takeaway / Points:On Sarah’s book “Drinking Games”Sarah’s relationship with alcohol growing up and how it evolved over timeSarah’s progression with alcohol in college and lacking quantity controlOn being aware of addictive tendenciesOn moving to New York and being swept up in hustle cultureOn having multiple stints of moderating and abstaining from alcoholOn experiencing a “final straw” momentHow Sarah’s drinking affected her friendshipsHow Sarah got soberOn dating as a sober personAdvice for people with friends who struggle with alcoholOn motherhood and sobrietySarah’s recovery toolkit for maintaining sobrietyOn mommy wine cultureOn having a partner who drinksCheck out Sarah’s book “Drinking Games” hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
