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 do bad apples effect the whole barrel? In this episode, I talk about 2 chapters in the book, Why we Click by Kate Murphy. Have you ever felt an instant click with someone got along fantasitcally or felt the mood in a room change due to someone’s anger? Is there someone in your life that is really easy to be around or someone who is difficult to be around? I share how lately we talk about the vibe or aura of people and that is actually shown to be a thing. We can sync up to people’s moods unconsciously. I share how we can get romantically interested with people due to being on the same wavelength. And that being matched up with people online can be totally different from when you meet up in person and why that might be. I also talk about a few studies that show how someone’s bad mood or attitude can affect group. The “bad apple” person really can bring the whole group’s vibe down. These things we have a sensed for years but now because of new scientific tools can measure more readily.
