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!

Ep. 252 - The Delusion you need to start something new

“Dream about your ideal future, even if it’s a lie compared to today’s reality, then get to work and make that reality happen.” In this episode we are going to talk about being delusional. I share this idea from The Confident Mind by Dr. Nate Zinsser who says that when we want to do something great we have to be constructively delusional. This week we are especially talking about doing something new. I mention different things as we grow up that we work at achieving, like riding a bike, trying a new sport and applying for colleges. We may have evidence of others doing it but not ourselves. I share that now in my midlife I need to be delusional about where I what my older years to look like. And I love the main point, is that after we have the unrealistic idea or desire, we then work really hard to make that an actual reality.
