Finding the Floor - A thoughtful approach to midlife motherhood and what comes next.
Listen to stories told by Camille Johnson as she reflects on her life raising a family of 5 kids, being happily married for 22 years, and finding the joy and laughter of it all. She has been trying to find the floor to her kids' rooms for a while and gets a peek about once a week. Come listen as she shares her journey of finding her floor both literally and figuratively as she contemplates, life, love, cleaning, pets, books, remodeling, being a taxi driver, finding wholeness, living as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and figuring out what she finally wants to be when she grows up. If this podcasting becomes a thing well maybe this is it. Thanks for listening!
Finding the Floor - A thoughtful approach to midlife motherhood and what comes next.
Fostering new and old frienships
“When we share about our lives, it signals to the listener that we trust them.” Friendship is the topic for today’s episode. As I know many of our children and youth are starting up school and have the opportunity to make new friends, this episode will help explain a little more about the skill or things we can do to foster new friendships or work on current ones as well. I share my daughter's situation and her need to make some new friends. I refer back to episode 83 titled Cultivating Friendships which uses information from the book How to be Yourself by Ellen Hendricksen. I review a little bit from that episode but then go in depth more about the importance of sharing more with others and fostering connection. Then I talk about making friends as adults and we can treat it almost like dating. Connection is so important but as adults especially we have to be more intentional about it. So here’s to making new friendships and working on current ones.
