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.
My changing life - looking back and forward
“… this dual process coping seems to be the way of midlife.” I hope summer is going well for you all. In this episode I share that my summer is feeling weird and all the change that I have been coping with. This summer has felt different. I share how I have been looking back, missing the simple summers at the pool when my kids were younger. I mention that redoing my daughter's room has been bringing up lots of nostalgic memories. I am also excited for my children to leave the nest but it is such a bittersweet time. I also share how our trip to the Cleveland Natural History museum with its new renovation was a metaphor to what I have been feeling as we appreciated the new but were looking for all the familiar past things we loved about the museum. I finish with a quote from an article that describes my feelings quite well, both the mourning and the reinvention. Looking back and also looking forward.
