Summary

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. Jaclyn explains the four attachment styles, the primary components of secure attachment, and what “rupture and repair” means. 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.

0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of Conversations with Cam. This one is a rerun episode, but the
0:06.7	intro is live. Like I'm recording this a few days before this episode comes out. And if you are
0:11.8	listening on Spotify, hopefully this works because I'll get into all of this, but in part of
0:19.5	bringing this in-house, we're doing a lot back on our own.
0:22.8	Hopefully, you can also see the video because I've been getting a lot of requests for a very long
0:29.6	time to do video with the pod. And we have it on YouTube. So if you're not a Spotify listener,
0:34.6	or you want to watch it like on your TV, which I've seen people do,
0:38.8	which like is insane to me, but like do whatever you want to do, it's still going to be
0:42.9	available on YouTube, but it will also now be available in video on Spotify, assuming I am
0:50.2	able to figure this all out within the next three days. So we're going to get into the rerun episode, but first I'm going to do a little bit of like
0:57.9	a live life update, which I'm going to try to do with all of these reruns.
1:02.3	If you missed last week, we are doing reruns for the month of November and December because
1:08.4	we are going on a little bit of a hiatus with new interviews for the first time
1:12.6	since I started the show seven, eight years ago before we relaunch our new season.
1:19.4	And part of the reason for that is I did leave my network.
1:23.7	I'm bringing the show in-house and I want to have time to make sure we have all the back end of
1:31.8	everything working logistically before we launch this new season. Also, the new season will be
1:37.9	primarily in the new studio, which I am so excited about. This space already, all we've done is painted, and I am wildly obsessed with the
1:47.5	space.
1:48.5	And I, we're not ready whatsoever to record in there yet.
1:52.4	So thank God I gave myself this buffer.
1:54.9	Because I mentioned this in the sub-sac post I wrote last week.
