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!

Ep. 251 Building your mental bank account as a parent
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode I share some ideas on how to build more confidence as a parent by making deposits in our mental bank account. It can be easy to think we are doing well as parents when our children are doing well. I dive into an important mindset shift: learning not to base my confidence as a parent on my children’s outcomes. I use principles from The Confident Mind - like the daily ESPs, what are things that I am doing to help my child. Then mention the emotional bank account from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and how we can work on making regular deposits with our child and what that might look like.
