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!

“We cannot just practice our art. We need to force our way into its secrets, and then it will raise us to the divine.” In this week’s episode after sharing a small talk prompt and a personal story, I revisit the idea of creativity helping us with our mental strength. I share a quote from Beethoven I heard from Steven Sharp Nelson who reminds us that using our creativity can help us feel happier. I mention the 3 Cs, all which can be included in a type of creation, create, cultivate and contribute. I look back on episode 79 when I spoke of the theory that the more we do those 3Cs, the more fulfilled we can be. Then share a few other stories about the tricky balance of doing more creating than consuming.
