In this friendship series episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Deanna, to talk honestly about what it's like navigating friendships across different life stages. She opens up about being single & childfree while most of our friend group is deep in marriage and motherhood, the emotions that came up early on with it, and how they’ve shifted as she's gotten older. We talk about the importance of celebrating wins, how to approach hard conversations as friends, and what it’s like being the best aunt to our friends’ kids.Key Takeaway / Points:Our friendship origin storyHonest conversations about our friendship after I had my first kid What it felt like for Deanna when everyone in our friend group started having kidsWhether she’s open to having children in the futureWhy friendships should serve different purposes and the unfair expectations friends can put on each otherThe "seesaw" theory of friendshipAdvice for anyone feeling behind while their friends move into marriage and motherhoodListen to my previous episodes with Deanna:Honoring The Long Game In Friendships with Deanna DiCroceQ&A of Surprise Questions Asked By My Friend, DeannaFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogersYouTube: Cameron Rogers

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 societyHow attachment styles show up in friendship (not just romance)Male vs. female loneliness: the crisis of intimacy in men's friendshipsHow friendship is a skill that you need to keep practicing in adulthoodThe role self-worth plays in building connectionsWhat implicit memories are and how they quietly drive your triggersHow memory reconsolidation, somatic work, and psychedelics can literally change the emotional charge of old memoriesWhy the goal isn't to have a "secure" attachment, but rather "secure-ish"Order a copy of Dr. Marisa G.

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 childhoodWhy 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 datingSocial media dating taglines that are total mythsWhat healthy relationships actually look likeAdvice for having hard conversations in relationshipsOrder Sabrina’s book “Why Am I Like This?
