Cam’s Corner: Reflecting on 5 Years of Motherhood

You Can’t Be A Perfect Parent Part II: Maternal Mental Health with Dr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes

In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes for part two of our conversation on infant attachment. Dr. Jaclyn gives a refresher on the four attachment styles and what it actually looks like to meet your baby’s needs day to day. We dive into the relationship between maternal mental health and mother-infant attachment, how to show up for your child even when you’re struggling, and whether your baby actually picks up on your nervous system. Whether you're navigating daycare guilt, having intrusive thoughts, or contact naps are taking over your life - this episode is a reminder that there is no such thing as a perfect parent. Key Takeaway / Points: * Four attachment styles explained * Why secure attachment is the default (not the exception) * How you only need to get it right 40-50% of the time to have a securely attached baby * The 3-step technique that helps you stay present if your brain is spiraling * Why taking care of yourself and your mental health is taking care of your baby * The honest answer on whether you can spoil a baby Listen to Part I of this conversation with Dr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes HERE [https://open.spotify.com/episode/0wJBzQaZdoUDcLkj2V4pXY?si=-ea4De6cS42DUrD9kw_zqg] Find Dr. Jaclyn Nofech-Mozes practice: OrKid Pyschology [https://www.orkidpsychology.ca/] Follow me: Instagram: @cameronoaksrogers [https://www.instagram.com/cameronoaksrogers/] Substack: Fill Your Cup [https://cameronoaksrogers.substack.com/] Website: cameronoaksrogers.com [http://cameronoaksrogers.com/] TikTok: @cameronoaksrogers [https://www.tiktok.com/@cameronoaksrogers] YouTube: Cameron Rogers [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA1ZezsFgphcediUbG_LldA]

In this episode, I detail all of my pregnancy symptoms, thoughts, and feelings during weeks 16-19! While I've officially entered the honeymoon phase, it has not come without its low points. I share everything from the crash outs I’ve had while getting dressed, to dealing with complicated feelings around weight gain and body image, and why people's obsession with baby gender is starting to become offensive.

The Truth About Treatment-Resistant Depression with Jasmine Blocker

In this episode sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, I sit down with world champion sprinter and mental health advocate Jasmine Blocker. Jasmine talks about how sports have shaped her life and her decision to speak openly about mental health. She also shares her journey with major depressive disorder (MDD)—cycling through adequate trials of multiple depression medications without finding symptom relief—before being diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Jasmine discusses what it meant to finally receive a TRD diagnosis, actively participating in treatment decisions, and how SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray helped relieve her depressive symptoms. Every patient’s experience is different, so if you or an adult you know has been experiencing TRD, talk to a healthcare provider about SPRAVATO® and whether it may be the right fit. Visit SPRAVATO.com [https://bit.ly/4dkQsvr] to learn more, including information on serious side effects such as sedation, dissociation, respiratory depression, and the risk of abuse and misuse.   Please read full Prescribing Information, including Boxed WARNINGS: https://jmc.link/3RMl24d & Med Guide: https://jmc.link/3aWgBTY   INDICATION   SPRAVATO® (esketamine) CIII nasal spray is a prescription medicine indicated for adults with TRD, used alone or in conjunction with an oral antidepressant. SPRAVATO® is not for use as a medicine to prevent or relieve pain (anesthetic). It is not known if SPRAVATO® is safe or effective as an anesthetic medicine or for use in preventing suicide or reducing suicidal thoughts or actions. It is not for use in place of hospitalization. It is not known if SPRAVATO® is safe and effective in children.   SPRAVATO® is only available through a restricted distribution program called the SPRAVATO® Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) program. This means you are under the direct supervision of a healthcare provider while you self-administer the nasal spray and are monitored for at least two hours afterwards to keep track of any serious side effects. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Johnson & Johnson at 1-800-526-7736, or to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
