Cameron (Dr. Cam) Caswell, PhD, the “teen translator,” is an adolescent psychologist and family success coach who specializes in helping parents build strong, positive relationships with their teens through improved communication, connection, and understanding using her PRIME Parenting Framework. Dr. Cam received her doctorate in Developmental Psychology from George Mason University, where she was mentored by Dr. Susanne Denham and recognized for her superb teaching as a professor of Adolescent Psychology. Additionally, Dr. Cam is a Certified Professional Success Coach (CPSC), has served as a high school youth leader for over 10 years, and is a co-founder of The Avengers for Teens, an allied network of adolescent and parenting experts that provide daily advice and encouragement on ClubHouse. Since publishing her book, Power Phrases for Parents: Teen Edition, in 2015, Dr. Cam has been speaking about adolescent development and parent education at local schools, national organizations, on television, podcasts, and most recently on NPR. After her presentation at the Nysmith School, the coordinator wrote, “The best Parent Education event the school has ever had.” Dr. Cam uses her fun, interactive style to unpack frustrating adolescent behavior and empowers her clients and audiences to work with their teen's wiring rather than against it—boosting the development of a positive, healthy sense of self rather than unwittingly eroding it. Parents leave her sessions feeling hopeful, supported, and motivated for change. Dr. Cam is the mom of a teen too, so she not only talks the talk, she walks the walk! In this episode of Midlife Magic, Dr. Cam gives us some tips and ideas to help us parent our teens - we hope you enjoy this episode!

If you live in the US you may never have heard of Matt Fiddes, but if you're anywhere else, he may just be a household name. Matt Fiddes is one of the most respected experts in the international world of martial arts and fitness. Matt's achievements have seen him honored at the highest level, after being inducted into the UK Martial Arts Hall of Fame and presented with the prestigious ‘Martial Arts Superstar Award'. He first discovered a talent for self-defense at seven after being bullied at school. Five years later he had already won his Black Belt with a determination and drive that was to mark him out as a special talent. Leaving school at sixteen with no qualifications he opened the first Matt Fiddes Martial Arts School in his hometown of Barnstaple, North Devon, with just £100. Matt's unique training programs are designed for both children and adults and have proved to be a massive success with over 600 training schools across the UK and Europe including Ireland, Germany, Holland, Australia and South Africa. He is a 7th Degree Black Belt Master in Tae Kwon Do and holds Black Belts in Kickboxing and Kung Fu is now one of the most in-demand personal trainers thanks to front covers and interviews in newspapers and magazines worldwide. He has numerous celebrity clientele including actors, supermodels and singers. Undoubtedly Matt's biggest client was superstar Michael Jackson. Introduced to Matt by his close friend Uri Geller, Matt was Michael's personal UK bodyguard for over a decade before his tragic death in June 2009. Today, he now runs a multi-million pound, international martial arts franchise which is the world's biggest martial arts brand in the world. Matt sits on the board of advisors for the Worldwide Martial Arts Teachers Association (MATA) along with the industry's most admired teachers. Matt is dedicated to building his martial arts schools where he can help improve the fitness and life skills of young people. Matt is married to South African singer Moniqe Fiddes and they live in Wiltshire with their children. I met Matt through social media. I think one of my facebook lives floated across his feed? I had no idea who he was or what he did, just knew he was a nice guy with a lot of positivity and a love for helping others reach their goals So I'm excited to have him on the show and hope you enjoy hearing a little bit about Michael Jackson and gain some insight into his personal life that you may not know. I also really appreciate Matt's take on success, growing his business, how he's not afraid to pivot and try new things and of course, we had to talk about health and fitness!

Before I jump into the intro for this episode, I wanted to share something that's been brewing within me for a while. When I began podcasting, I wanted to focus on talk therapy topics and issues yet I'm also really passionate about another topic. And that is helping women live their best lives as they move into midlife. You may or may not know that when I hit 40, that's when I made the decision to start living my life differently. So for the past 7 years I've worked to live more authentically and congruentally. And now I want to start bringing this information to the podcast! I'm lining up guests that will not only inspire you to see mid life differently but will also bring you the know how to do so. I'm unsure yet if i will start a whole new podcast or rebrand this one. Podcasts are a lot of work and it's just me right now behind the scenes (well except for my audio engineer and editor, Laura and my website developer, Michael) so creating and producing 2 separate podcasts feels overwhelming yet also at the same time it feels possible. Right now I'm just hanging out in the land of possibilities. I hope you stay tuned to see and hear the upcoming shifts in my podcast world! Here's my first shift and I'm so excited to share this week's interview with you all. It's the FIRST MidLife Magic podcast episode! I titled it Strength At Any Age With Dani Shugart for a few reasons: Number one, I truly believe that you can acquire strength at any age. While in this episode we are talking about strength gained in the weight room, we also talk about how finding the weight room has given us both self confidence and physical and mental strength, two things my guest and I both were looking for in our younger years. And finding the weights helped us tremendously in these areas. Number 2, research has shown us that there are incredible benefits of building muscle ( studies from the CDC have found that muscle-building exercise can) such as improving balance, reducing the likelihood of falls, improving blood-sugar control, and improving sleep and mental health. The average person starts losing muscle as early as age 25. And From 40 to 70 years old, muscle loss averages 8 percent per decade and then accelerates to 15 percent after age 70. Our eventual physical decline is inevitable, but the more muscle we have when our bodies start rapidly breaking down, the longer we can last with our physical function. I often get asked why I'm so crazy about telling people to hit the weight room.It's not because i want to look good naked, that's a byproduct of wanting to increase my confidence and put off my physical decline as long as possible! I want longevity and quality of life!! And when I decided I wanted to talk about this on my first episode of MidLife Magic, I headed straight to my friend Dani Shugart. Dani Shugart is an editor for T-Nation.com, a lifetime natural lifter, and co-host of the Fit Pants podcast. Dani shares her story on finding the weight room, how progress in the weight room has built her confidence, why consistency and accountability are keys to reaching your goals, how to get into fitness if you're brand new as well as How to get back into fitness if you've fallen out! Plus we talk about tips for growing muscle in midlife, why assessing your efforts for effectiveness is important, and reassessing your efforts and if it's not getting you to your goals, change it up.
