Summary

In this solo episode, I reflect on five years of motherhood and share the seven lessons I’ve learned along the way. From reminding myself that everything is temporary, to two conflicting emotions can coexist at once, to not losing myself in the process. Plus, I introduce our brand new “Cam’s Corner” segment where I answer your questions all about motherhood: how to know when you’re actually ready for kids, things I swore I’d never do as a mom (and now totally do), and more!

Key Takeaway / Points:

What motherhood has taught me so far
How to show up as a mom on hard mental health days
Why repair might be the most underrated parenting skill out there
How filling your cup first and saying yes to help is key
What actually gets easier after the newborn stage
My honest take on sleep training
Keeping your marriage alive in the postpartum trenches

0:00.0	Hello, welcome back to Conversations with Cam. Today is a solo episode, which I feel like we've been done in a really long time. Well, that's not true. We do what the fuck is happening to my body episodes pretty often. But other than that, I feel like we haven't done a solo. And we had this idea when we brought the show in-house of like how we can incorporate different segments or like different
0:21.7	styles of episodes like what we're doing with what the fact is happening to my body,
0:25.4	how we kind of have the expert series, friendship series, and all of those things.
0:29.0	So we wanted to do a segment called Cam's Corner.
0:34.2	We're still like ideating the name.
0:35.7	I like it.
0:36.7	But other people were like
0:38.3	calling with Cam, calling Cam, some ideas. And this would be where listeners could submit
0:46.3	questions. I gave you guys a question box. We did it in our, in our channel on Instagram. We
0:51.7	have a call in number or you could email Carly if like you needed more
0:55.7	length and you didn't want to call it in. And this was for advice and questions around specifically
1:02.9	this one, motherhood, because this is going to be my like reflecting on five years of motherhood
1:08.5	episode. I believe this is releasing right after Mother's Day.
1:12.9	So happy belated Mother's Day to all the moms out there listening.
1:16.1	You make the world go round and you're incredible and you deserve the world.
1:20.9	But I also, this year, am celebrating five years of motherhood, which is crazy.
1:26.4	I can't believe I have a five-year-old. That is like a kid. Joe and I were talking about this the other day. I feel like I've been saying he's five for a while because he just feels five to me. But also when I say, oh, my five-year-old, like, I'm a mom. And I know I'm a mom. I have two children with a third on the way. But like, I don't know when
1:45.9	this happened. I don't know when I became an adult and adult enough to have soon to be three
1:51.7	children and a five-year-old. Five just feels like a kid. Like, you're a kid. So I want to do a little
1:59.1	reflection on five years of motherhood and then we're going to get
2:01.4	into the listener questions.
2:02.8	I just told Carly this.
