In this episode (originally aired on 5/8/24), 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.

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:Dr. Nofech-Mozes’ 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 repairWatch this episode on YouTube HEREDr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes practice: OrKid PyschologyFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogersYoutube: Cameron Rogers

In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Fairhurst, a postpartum therapist and maternal mental health expert, to discuss the various challenges new parents can encounter with each other during the postpartum phase and ways to work through this overwhelming time. Melissa shares how her own postpartum experiences have informed her work, what the “roommate phase” is and why it feels so permanent when you’re in it, and how these unexpected moments of disconnect can arise with your partner. We also discuss the unspoken expectations we have about our partners before the baby arrives and how that can set us up for resentment, how it’s imperative to accept that the non-birthing partner can’t fully understand the birthing partner’s experience, and why it’s essential to normalize couple’s therapy. Melissa shares tips for communicating your needs to your partner, why it’s important not to let resentments fester, and why “I” statements are more effective than “you” statements. Finally, we discuss the importance of setting yourself up for support before the baby arrives, and ways you can try to prioritize fun to reconnect as a couple. Key Takeaway / Points:Melissa’s work as a postpartum therapist and how her own postpartum experiences inform her workOn the usage of the term “roommate phase” and why it feels so permanent when you are in itOn the unexpected moments of disconnect that arise with your partner when you become new parentsOn the expectations we have of our partners before our baby arrivesOn accepting that the non-birthing partner will never fully understand what the birthing partner is going throughOn the need for normalizing couples therapyOn the necessity of communication with your partner about needs, expectations, and why it’s essential to not let resentments festerThe power of speaking in “I” statementsOn rebuilding emotional intimacy as new parentsOn setting yourself up with support and resources before your baby arrivesOn the absence of support for mothers in societyOn prioritizing fun as a couple and strategies to reconnectThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Lyons, a holistic psychologist, author, and body-based trauma expert, to discuss why we are so drawn to drama as a culture and how fully honoring our stress responses can help us better adapt to stress. Dr. Lyons explains what he defines as “drama,” how trauma often takes us away from ourselves and others, and how overstimulation has become the cultural norm. He also talks about how media is designed to keep our attention away from ourselves, why we are so drawn to reality TV, and why stress is a social glue that bonds us. Finally, he shares how most of us aren’t completing our stress cycles, how he checks in with his nervous system during a stressful event, and how he gets out of his cortisol stimulus and brings himself back to center.Key Takeaway / Points:How Dr. Lyons defines “drama”How trauma takes us away from ourselves and othersOn the cultural norm of overstimulationOn the connection between seeking stillness and feeling safeHow media is designed to keep our attention away from ourselvesWhy are we so drawn to reality TV?How gossip bonds people and why stress is a social glueOn the numbing effects of cortisolOn the addictive rollercoaster of toxic relationshipsWhy most of us aren’t completing our stress responsesThe power of physically “shaking it out” after stressHow Dr. Lyons fills his cup and calms his nervous systemFind Dr. Scott Lyons’ book, “Addicted to Drama,” hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this solo episode, I share the exciting news that I’ve developed a “Quiet Your Mind and Busy Your Hands” journal and adult coloring affirmation book! I discuss how this project came together and how it implements some of the top elements that have fundamentally shifted my mental health. I also reflect on the past year with two children and how we’ve been trying to embrace the chaos instead of resisting it. I discuss my son’s birth a year ago and the initial overwhelm that came with juggling two kids, the guilt I felt over not being able to attend to both at once, and the emotional shift that happened during the 7-9 month postpartum mark. I also share how my kids’ relationship with each other has evolved over the past year, why I just don’t love the newborn phase, why the mom I was for my firstborn’s year one is vastly different from the mom I am today, and more.Key Takeaway / Points:On developing the “Quiet Your Mind and Busy Your Hands” journal and adult coloring affirmationsHow I prioritize my mental healthHow affirmations have fundamentally shifted my mindsetOn resisting the stress of kid’s birthdays and letting yourself have fun in the chaosReflecting on my son’s birth a year ago and the initial overwhelm with two kidsOn the guilt over not being able to attend to both children at onceOn the shift that occurred during the 7-9 month mark postpartumHow my kids’ relationship has evolved over the past yearOn being honest about not loving the newborn phaseOn how different the first year of my kids’ lives wereOn the mom I was for my firstborn’s year one vs. the mom I am todayOn my relationship with my husband with two kids vs. oneBuy the Quiet Your Mind Journal and Adult Affirmation Coloring Book hereListen to Episode 145: “Breaking the ‘Manic Mom’ Mold” episode hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I sit down with Kitty Brandtner, founder and co-president of March Fourth, to discuss the organization’s push for gun reform in the U.S. and why federally banning assault weapons is their singular goal. Kitty shares the string of events that led her to founding March Fourth, why radical gun reform viewpoints aren’t moving the needle forward, and why a federal assault weapons ban is the simplest and most effective path. She explains the history of assault weapons bans in the U.S., how we arrived at our current mass shooting epidemic, and how the mental health impact from gun violence has a ripple effect throughout a community.

In this episode, I sit down with Cat and Nat – podcast hosts, co-authors, and best friends – to talk about blending families and what it’s like raising seven kids between the two of them and their spouses. We discuss how they came to such an integrated way of living and why non-judgment made it all possible, how our culture isn’t set up for communal support, and why it truly takes a village to raise children. They share the most exciting part about parenting teenagers versus the hardest part, how they navigate social media with teens, and why they’re developing a course on parenting and social media. Finally, they talk about the advice they’d give their younger selves with young children, why we often forget to embrace who we are as mothers and put so much pressure on ourselves to change, and how they do (or don’t) maintain sex lives with kids in the house.Key Takeaway / Points:How they’ve blended their families and why non-judgment made it possibleHow our culture isn’t set up for communal supportWhy it takes a village to raise kidsOn the most exciting part about parenting teenagersOn the hardest part about parenting teenagersOn navigating social media with teensOn tracking your kids’ locations and which app they useOn the course they’re developing for parenting and social mediaOn advice for their younger selves with young childrenOn embracing who you are as a motherHow they fill their own cupsOn maintaining a sex life with kids in the houseThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this solo episode, I share what I wish I knew before having a baby, from never being able to have the “perfect” timeline for having kids; to how friendships and relationships might evolve once you become a parent. I talk about the intensity of having your priorities completely shift to another person and away from yourself, why it’s so important to find what makes you feel like “you,” and why giving yourself a window of transition time during your days, especially during postpartum, can be a lifesaver. I also discuss the unpredictability of what works one day with your child versus what might not work the next day, the confidence that comes from being a parent, how important choosing your village is — from your partner, to your friendships — aand more.Key Takeaway / Points:On never having the perfect timelineOn your priorities shifting away from yourselfOn finding what makes you feel like yourselfGiving yourself a window of time to transition into different parts of your dayOn the energy it takes to feed another personThe unpredictability of what works one day vs. what doesn’t the nextOn the joy of watching your child experience the worldOn the confidence that comes from being a parentOn the judgment you experience as a momOn how important your village is, including your partnerHow your friendships might shiftListen to Ep 207: “What I Wish I Knew in my Twenties” hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

She shares lifestyle techniques to help work with ADHD symptoms, why it seems like so many mothers are struggling with ADHD right now, and why it’s so important to know how your hormones affect both your physical and mental health. We talk about executive functioning and why it’s so important, how to communicate your mental health needs to your partner, and why task paralysis happens.

In this episode, I sit down with Hilary Hoffman, founder of The Soto Method, to discuss the journey behind developing her business, why intention is behind everything she does, and how she forged her path towards entrepreneurship. Hilary talks about the relentlessness of self-promotion and not knowing when your message is going to resonate with people, how she designed The Soto Method structure, and where the method transcends into a deeper meaning. She also shares how her former career in finance instilled strengths that serve her to this day, and how building intentional awareness and encouraging her coworkers to exercise inspired her to pursue The Soto Method. We discuss the value of creating a product in your own time and gathering constructive criticism, the inevitable sacrifices that come with building something, and why validation isn’t what we should be searching for.

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 solo episode, I celebrate my two year anniversary of being alcohol-free with a deep dive into my decision to stop drinking, my background with alcohol growing up, and where I stand now on this decision that started out as a temporary experiment.

I also talk about how I moved from a disempowered choice to an empowered choice, why being hungover as a parent was a game changer for my decision, and how I have discovered an inner confidence and self-trust I didn’t have before.

In this episode, I sit down with friend and content creator Olivia Noceda to talk about priorities, boundaries, and understanding what we want versus what we think we want. We reflect on a time Olivia was there for me during a postpartum breakdown, and Olivia shares how she has developed her journey with boundaries over time. She also discusses why regularly establishing your priorities in life is essential, how the impulse of comparison on social media is inevitable, and why fiction and escapism can be so freeing. She also talks about her path to sober curiosity, how we can become addicted to routine, and why in a culture of “more,” “less” is actually the key to finding freedom and release.Key Takeaway / Points:Remembering a time when Olivia was there for me during a postpartum breakdownHow Olivia has developed her journey with boundariesWhy regularly establishing your priorities is essentialOn the impulse of comparison with social mediaOn the concept of being addicted to romance and escapismThe importance of fiction in our livesOlivia’s journey with sober curiosityWhy it’s healthy to observe our relationships with vices, from alcohol to social mediaOn becoming addicted to routineOn what you think you want vs. what you actually wantOn the freedom and release that comes from “less” Listen to the Armchair Expert episode with Anna Lembke hereThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

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.

Before we have this conversation regarding cannabis, I must also acknowledge the racial injustice of the industry. As stated by the Last Prisoner Project, “no one should remain incarcerated or continue to suffer the collateral consequences of prohibition and the War on Drugs, which has and continues to disproportionately impact communities of color.” To donate to LPP, which is a nonprofit coalition of cannabis industry leaders dedicated to bringing restorative justice to the cannabis industry, donate here.   Follow Emma Chasen: Instagram: @emmachasen Website: www.linktr.ee/emmachasen   Follow me: Instagram: @freckledfoodie Website: freckledfoodie.com TikTok: freckledfoodie Youtube: Cameron Rogers / Freckled Foodie Pinterest: Freckled Foodie   This episode was edited by Tim Flanzbaum  Hosted on Acast.

To listen to the full episode on the Food Heaven Podcast, please find it here The description of their episode: “In the past few days, we've been hit up by countless publications, podcasts, and influencers asking us to be on their platforms to do a podcast interview, host an IG live, or have a conversation on racism. Oftentimes, these requests come with a ridiculously tight turnaround, which feels really inconsiderate. We're human beings.  We have lives. Believe it or not, we're actually busy. Also, there's a lot of emotional labor and trauma involved in being vulnerable and sharing our experiences with racism. PLUS! We've contributed to COUNTLESS articles (go to our press page) about inclusivity and social justice before it was trending. We've also done so. many. podcast episodes on these topics (check our BLM highlight for some of the most recent episodes). The work is out there. If you have looked at some of the work, and still want to collaborate, make an effort to be more mindful about how you reach out + what your asks are. In this week's episode, we go in on why we're frustrated and exhausted. But we also make sure to include some action items on what you (black, POC, white) can do to amplify Black voices both on and offline.

On this solo special, I unpack the many privileges I hold. While doing the work in Layla F Saad's book, "Me and White Supremacy", I have been reflecting on and unpacking my white privilege that has played a role in my life. With that, I have also been unpacking the other privileges I hold. When I initially discussed this on an Instagram post it didn't feel like enough room for me to fully dive in, so I recorded this solo episode for more context.

In this solo special, I reflect on the second year of being my own boss. Leaving JP Morgan on April 27, 2018, to pursue Freckled Foodie full time was something I never imagined would actually be my reality. I touch on the circumstances that led to this decision, what I have learned over the past two years, how the second year differed from the first year, and where I see my business going. I answer a lot of questions you all submitted and even get a bit emotional towards the end reflecting on this all. Listen to my previous solo special where I reflect on being my own boss for one year here. This episode is more of a deep dive on the reasoning of leaving my corporate career and how I started my business.
