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 story Honest conversations about our friendship after I had my first kid What it felt like for Deanna when everyone in our friend group started having kids Whether she’s open to having children in the future Why friendships should serve different purposes and the unfair expectations friends can put on each other The "seesaw" theory of friendship Advice for anyone feeling behind while their friends move into marriage and motherhood Listen to my previous episodes with Deanna: Honoring The Long Game In Friendships with Deanna DiCroce Q&A of Surprise Questions Asked By My Friend, Deanna Follow me: Instagram: @cameronoaksrogers Substack: Fill Your Cup Website: cameronoaksrogers.com TikTok: @cameronoaksrogers YouTube: 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 society How attachment styles show up in friendship (not just romance) Male vs. female loneliness: the crisis of intimacy in men's friendships How friendship is a skill that you need to keep practicing in adulthood The role self-worth plays in building connections What implicit memories are and how they quietly drive your triggers How memory reconsolidation, somatic work, and psychedelics can literally change the emotional charge of old memories Why the goal isn't to have a "secure" attachment, but rather "secure-ish" Order a copy of Dr. Marisa G. Franco’s books: Platonic: How The Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment Listen to these episodes that dive into attachment styles: You Can’t Be A Perfect Parent: Mother/Child Attachment Styles and More with Dr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes You Can’t Be A Perfect Parent Part II: Maternal Mental Health with Dr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes Visit ⁠Quiet Your Mind⁠ to shop Quiet Your Mind x WTF Is Happening To My Body edition.

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 childhood Why 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 dating Social media dating taglines that are total myths What healthy relationships actually look like Advice for having hard conversations in relationships Order Sabrina’s book “Why Am I Like This?
