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!

How to get out of a mental sewer cycle
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I celebrate reaching episode 250 and explore something we all experience at times: getting stuck in what The Confident Mind calls the “sewer cycle.” After a stressful moment related to my church calling, I found myself spiraling into negative thoughts and worry. As I reflected on the experience, I realized how important it is to recognize when we’re in that mental cycle and have tools ready to help us get back out. Drawing on ideas from The Confident Mind, Atomic Habits, and The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I share practical ways we can shift our thinking, refocus our energy, and move toward a more constructive mindset.
