    I am so fond of Cami, Lily, and Madelaine. I feel like they’re such good people to the core and they’re so aware of the platform and influence they have, and they use that for good! Wonderful role models💖

    This conversation hit very close to home for me, as a child of divorce that was actually born the same year as Camila. At the time of the divorce it was definitely a whirlwind but looking back on it now I think it was definitely for the best that my parents divorced because they just weren't the best match for each other in the long run. Like Camila mentioned, I too tend to have a cynical attitude towards love, at least regarding myself, but deep down I do crave a romantic connection and love with someone. ❤

    This podcast was so well done, conversations like these should be normalized when I was a tween I had a SA experience but I never saw it as that as the person doing it was also around my age and was 'my friend' plus no one would've seen that as assault back in 05-07 (4th grade -6th so around ages 10 -12) also had a boy at school groping my leg and when I told they wanted to say "no bullying zone " you should've said something sooner. I now know it was at least a form of assault or harassment many years later

    conversations like these are so important, so thank you to the both of you for providing us with such a brave and honest discussion. You’re both extremely inspiring. And a thank you to cami, for sharing her experiences and making people who have dealt with similar, feel that little bit less alone. Trauma is a terrible thing to experience - and to see her thrive afterwards and to take seriously, looking after her mental health, is so comforting to see. The world is lucky to have someone as kind and warm-hearted as cami, she truly is a light for all of us💜

    Thank you Camila for advocating for body positivity 🙏 Although I don't have eating disorder like you have experienced, I still got to face negative judgements on the basis of the size of my tummy, when it comes to going out to get something to eat, as well as dressing up for some formal event. My parents and some elders of mine judged negatively in words and actions on the basis of my tummy. And I'm sick and tired of that shit, and it hurts. And thanks to you Camila for sharing your message about body positivity

    about dating: it's better to let a relationship go when it is not supporting your value system anymore and when both partners are not a match anymore ( or never were from the beginning, but you can't always see or feel that )
    and before going into a relationship - people, learn about red flags and learn to trust your intuition !
