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!

“There you are!” In this week’s episode we talk a bit more about the lost art of small talk. This week I give you a few tips on different ways to think about it and also topics or situations that can help you feel more comfortable. Acronyms like S_O_F_T_E_N or F_O_R_D or A_R_E which can help you with your body language as well as topics ideas or ways to go about engaging in small talk. Also I love the reminder that small talk is supposed to be aimless, it is not about what you are talking about but that you are simply willing to talk to each other. One helpful metaphor is the idea of small talk as a bridge to a new relationship. I share a few more metaphors and tips to help with your small talk with others.
