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!
Finding the Floor - A thoughtful approach to midlife motherhood and what comes next.
Being a healthy parent and decluttering the mind
“It is important to work on your mental/emotional health as a parent.” I have been realizing lately how important it is to work on your mental and emotional health to be able to show up to all the demands that being a parent throws at you. So I discuss this importance and also point out a few things. First, you get to decide what a “good” parent looks like for you. Second, your efforts as a “good” parent should not be measured by the results of your children. And finally to remember what Stephen Covey taught with the 6th Habit of seek to understand then to be understood and empathic listening. I also tell you how you can declutter your mind. At the end of the episode you get the tale of a bit of a hectic evening that happened at our house.
