Conversations with Cam

In this solo episode, I'm back with a Cam's Corner answering listener questions on everything not parenting or pregnancy related! I get into what I'm doing to celebrate my 35th birthday (and why the rager is getting pushed to 36), why nobody is behind at 30, and what I'm most proud of building in my early 30s. I also chat adult female friendships, how I found my neighborhood crew in the suburbs, and what to do when a friend won't meet you halfway.

Key Takeaway / Points:
Why I skipped birthday reflections this year

What I'm most proud of from my early 30s

The reframe I come back to when it feels like everyone else is ahead of you

The single question that tells you whether a friendship deserves your time

Why my weekly Mahjong night fills my cup

In this episode, I sit down with Joe Gonzales, founder of the Brooklyn Stroll Club, for a candid conversation about fatherhood. Joe talks about his experience with new fatherhood, realizing he needed community, and how he created it for himself and other first-time dads. Joe opens up about becoming more vulnerable as a dad, why men get praised for doing the bare minimum, and what it really looks like to support your partner through pregnancy and postpartum. We also get into millennial dads changing the narrative around fatherhood, the mental health crisis men are facing, and why every parent should be able to leave the house without leaving a single note for their partner.

Key Takeaway / Points:
How his call out to social media asking "where do the dads hang out?" turned into creating the Brooklyn Stroll Club 

Why the zero to one transition feels harder for many dads

The double standard of dads being praised for the bare minimum

How fatherhood forces men to be more vulnerable

Why men need safe spaces and why it's not women's responsibility to create them

Millennial dads changing the stereotypes

In this friendship series episode, I sit down with one of my oldest friends, Katie DeLuca Arundel, to talk about our friendship over the years and how we’ve supported one another through it all. She clears the air about why so little of what she filmed for Bravo’s In The City made it to air, her friendship with Amanda, & what it felt like to be torn apart online before viewers had ever heard her speak. Katie also shares honestly about what she was navigating behind the scenes: two missed miscarriages, the physical and emotional toll it’s taken on her, and how she's holding grief and genuine happiness for her friends at the same time. 

Key Takeaways / Points:
Our friendship origin story

Being a "friend of" vs. full-time cast member for In The City

Why her In the City scenes didn't air, and why she wasn't at the reunion

Honest friendship conversations she had with Amanda that we didn’t see on air

Navigating a miscarriage the same week the Summer House reunion audio leaked

What a missed miscarriage is, and why she had no idea it was possible

How two things can be true: grieving your own losses AND showing up for your pregnant friends

In this episode, I unpack my pregnancy symptoms and emotions from weeks 28-31 and the whiplash of being so ready to not be pregnant anymore while simultaneously freaking out that there's about to be another human in this house!! I get into nesting in the middle of a house renovation, the Braxton Hicks and charley horses I’ve been experiencing, and how food noise has crept back in during pregnancy. I also open up about my heightened emotions right now and how toxically I miss the way my body used to look.

Key Takeaway / Points:
Nesting while renovating: purging, hunting down baby gear, and feeling logistically unprepared for the third

Braxton Hicks, charley horses, alien-style kicks, and the sounds I now make just getting out of a chair

Food noise returning during pregnancy and why it feels different this time

In this episode, I sit down with Madison Utendahl, founder, CMO, & writer of Burnt on Substack, for her second time on the show. Madison walks us through why she shut down her agency at the height of its success and what it actually took to separate her identity from her work. She opens up about the guilt and shame that shaped her need to succeed, her 70/30 rule for keeping part of her life untouched by monetizing, and the ketamine therapy experience that helped her heal. Plus, why she believes burnout recovery is bullshit and prevention is the only real strategy.

Key Takeaway / Points:
Why she closed her profitable agency and the offer she walked away from

The 70/30 rule: letting a job just be a job so 30% of your life holds no financial expectation

Why "quit your job and follow your passion" doesn't work anymore, and what burnout prevention looks like instead

Moving from guilt and shame around financial privilege into responsibility

How she grew her following on social media in 60 days

Her non-negotiable 15 minutes every morning to prevent burnout, plus ketamine therapy, phone-free mornings, and finding gratitude in the smallest moments
