Conversations with Cam

In this episode, I sit down with psychologist, author, and friendship expert, Dr. Marisa G. Franco, to unpack why we've been taught to prioritize romance over friendship and what it actually takes to build deep, lasting connections at any age. We talk about how attachment styles show up in our friendships & why the "loneliness epidemic" started way before smartphones. We also dive into self-worth: why compliments can sometimes backfire on people with low self-esteem, how "implicit memories" shape our triggers without us even knowing it, and the tools we can use for healing old wounds. 

Key Takeaway / Points:
What is actually making us lonely as a society

How attachment styles show up in friendship (not just romance)

Male vs. female loneliness: the crisis of intimacy in men's friendships

How friendship is a skill that you need to keep practicing in adulthood

The role self-worth plays in building connections

What implicit memories are and how they quietly drive your triggers

How memory reconsolidation, somatic work, and psychedelics can literally change the emotional charge of old memories

Why the goal isn't to have a "secure" attachment, but rather "secure-ish"

Baby #3 is here! In this episode, I'm telling you my full labor and delivery story while it's still fresh. I walk you through what I did to induce labor, the membrane sweep that finally got things moving, and the water-breaking moment I've always wanted! Plus the “super soaker” moment that happened right before delivery and why I'm more at peace in the newborn bubble than I've ever been.

Key Takeaway / Points:
My "evict baby" week of acupuncture, reflexology, curb walking, sex, and a very good membrane sweep

A full timestamp of my time in the hospital before delivery and getting the epidural in time

Why the L&D nurse might matter more to your delivery than the doctor

What happened in the moments after I gave birth to my third baby

The brutal third-time cramping and soaking up the newborn bubble with my last baby

In this episode, I sit down with dating and relationship coach, podcast host, and author, Sabrina Zohar, to unpack why we keep repeating the same relationship patterns even when we know better. Sabrina breaks down her "Bullshit Blueprint" framework, the subconscious wiring we pick up from childhood, and how to heal and break your toxic dating patterns. We get into attachment styles and how they play out in dating and why "if he wanted to, he would" is one of the most damaging taglines on the internet. 

Key Takeaway / Points:
Why our triggers as adults in dating relate back to what we learned from childhood

Why we unconsciously seek out familiar (often unhealthy) dynamics and repeat them in dating because they feel like "home"

Breaking down the four attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized) and how each shows up specifically in dating

Social media dating taglines that are total myths

What healthy relationships actually look like

Advice for having hard conversations in relationships
