Conversations with Cam

In this episode, I sit down with NBA legend, Dwyane Wade, for a conversation that goes way beyond basketball. He opens up about the freedom he found on the basketball court at a young age and the whirlwind of getting drafted to the Miami Heat. We talk candidly about fatherhood: becoming a father at a young age, what he’s learned as a father through Zaya’s transition, and how he shows up for all of his kids across very different stages of life. Dwyane also shares the mental health tools he leans on today, why he collaborated with Cann for their latest flavor, and the conversations he continues to push men to have around vulnerability and mental health.Key Takeaway / Points:Getting drafted to the Miami Heat and realizing his family's life had changed foreverHow he was able to compartmentalize his life on and off the courtThe village that helped him navigate fatherhood, especially in the early yearsThe identity shift that came with retiring from the NBAHis current mental health practices: journaling, THC/CBD, & the 5AM wake-up callsWhat he’s learned about fatherhood through his daughter ZayaCreating a safe space for vulnerability in sportsWhat it’s like parenting kids across a wide age rangeColoring Confessionals: his favorite place to enjoy a Cann, his favorite teammate to ever play with, and what he thinks about Lebron’s move to PhillyThis episode is sponsored by Cann.

TW: discussion of sudden death and grief. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Katie Sullivan to talk about the sudden loss of her husband, Hudson, and what life has looked like since while parenting through grief. Katie opens up about the identity crisis that comes with losing a spouse, the strange duality of feeling joy and grief at the same time,  and the outpouring of support she received right after her loss (plus, the reality once everyone goes back to their own lives). She shares what has helped her through it all and what she'd want anyone supporting a grieving friend, or grieving themselves, to know.Key Takeaway / Points:How Katie met her husband and the life they built togetherWhat happened the day of the accidentThe different phases of griefWhat to do for support of someone grieving instead of "let me know what you need"The identity crisis that comes with losing a spouseLearning to hold joy and grief in the same momentGiving yourself grace as a solo parent grieving in real timeWhat she wants anyone who has lost a partner to know10 Ways To Support Someone Who Has Lost A Spouse:In the early days, focus on essentials. Make specific offers, not open-ended ones.Send the text. When in doubt, ask. Fill the quiet hours.If you want to help long term, find a job to “own”. Make concrete plans. Remember the kids on big days.Anticipate hard days that often go unnoticed.Keep showing up.Follow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogersYouTube: Cameron Rogers

We are officially in the home stretch! In this episode, I break down my pregnancy symptoms from weeks 32-35. I get into the brutal pregnancy insomnia, my growth scan and the 3D images that had me freaking out over how much this baby already looks like my second, and the sacrum clicking that nearly sent me into another orbit. I also defend the belly-out pregnant girls, share my very unsolicited thoughts on ideal due-date timing, and admit I am nesting like an absolute psychopath.Key Takeaway / Points:Why pregnancy sleep is worse than sleep with a newbornHaving to pee constantly and feeling so uncomfortable in my bodyBelly talk: lifting it to function, excited for a squishy belly, and the relief of someone holding its weight for youSacrum clicking, my chiropractic care, and why pelvic floor PT has been a game changerMy honest opinion on due-date timing for first babies versus everyone after thatThis episode is sponsored by Natural Cycles, the company behind the first FDA-cleared, hormone-free, and non-invasive birth control app that helps prevent or plan pregnancy naturally.
