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.
Failure is our best teacher.
What has your child failed at recently? Today’s episode we continued taking a look at a few passages from the book, The Parent’s Tao Te Ching by William Martin. This episode is all about failure being our best teacher. These passages remind us how wonderful it is to be human and with that comes mistakes. There are also messages freeing us as parents to realize our life experiences in their fullness both the happy and sad, success and failure all help us to teach our children. I share a few experiences of my own failure and hardships. I also relay the story of Sara Blakely, the founder and inventor of Spanx, who was asked by her dad each night at dinner when she was young what she had failed at that week which helped her not be afraid of failure.
