I always get paid for speaking
Going through my divorce and losing my company all in one breath, as a single mom, put me on a powerful path to rebuild, and I went from being in the fetal position in my bed, to nine months later working as an Expert Speaker with the State Dept, in Kuwait, empowering and inspiring women in the middle east, where I realized how powerful I am and had the "aha" moment that I need to help others understand their power.
I grew up as the fat girl. That was my identity. That’s who I knew myself to be. I didn’t like it. In fact, I hated it. I hated me. I wanted to be skinny like all the other girls in my class. I wanted to wear fitted clothes without layers of fat sticking out or layers of fat to hide.
I was the fat girl and so I decided I didn’t belong.

In middle school, I entered into a radically competitive environment where I realized that I definitely did not belong. I was not academically ready for this school. It was an all girls school and I had an intention of “get me away from boys so they will stop making fun of me”. So in addition to I am not enough and I don’t belong, the new decision I made was that I was stupid.
No matter how much I tried to study, I couldn’t keep up. And because I had already decided that I was dumb, I felt the studying was useless. So I began to differ on studying and just wallow. I ditched classes and I gained even more weight. This became the heaviest I had ever been: 230 pounds and though I grew to be 5’8”, I was 5’4” at that time. I ate my feelings away and just decided that I was unlovable and stupid and I didn’t belong.
In eighth grade I became suicidal. One day I went into my parents medicine cabinet and took a full bottle of Advil. Yup, Advil. All I ended up with was a really bad stomach ache. It was a cry for help. I remember I told a teacher of mine “what happens if you take a lot of Advil?” and he looked at me and said “you’ll probably do a lot of kidney damage and have a really bad stomach ache.” I was asking for help and didn’t know it.

My first experience with Amphetamines was at the age of 15. They were prescribed to me in the form of “fen-phen”. This was a highly popular drug back in the mid to late 90s to help people lose weight. So I took it and I lost weight, effortlessly. My addiction to food was curbed by this fantastic, magical drug. I felt what I recognize now was a false sense of power, fueled by the drugs inside my body and the upsurge of dopamine and serotonin in my brain.
And so my 20 year love affair with amphetamines began. I gave it all of my power. And I made it mean that I was not in my charge of my body, the drugs were. That I didn’t have the power to lose weight, only the drugs did. That without the drugs, I was not able to be thin. Oh Cam, I love you. That could not have been further from the truth, clearly, look at you now. But back then, I didn’t have the tools or the understanding or knowing to believe any different.
