    Ep. 278: Why You Can't Seem to Get to Everything Anymore

    Send us Fan Mail There are things in my life right now that I need to do. Not things I'd like to do. Not someday projects. Not the "wouldn't it be nice if" list. Things that legitimately need my attention. And I cannot get to them. And if you've been walking around lately feeling like you're always behind, like there's a pile of things quietly waiting for you everywhere you turn, and you keep asking yourself, "What is wrong with me that I can't keep up?" I want you to stay with me today. Because I don't think the problem is you. I think it's math. Get some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on.  We have a beautiful pdf download of the 6 Mantras For Intentional Moms you can keep or print.

    Ep. 277: When the Heavy Season Doesn't End

    Send us Fan Mail I thought this season would be over by now. Maybe you've told yourself something similar. Once we get through summer. Once this medical thing is figured out. Once my mom is doing better. Once my kid gets through this. Once work settles down. Once we figure out the money situation. Once I get through these appointments. Once fall gets here. Then I'll have room again. And here's the part that makes it so confusing — sometimes you actually do everything you're supposed to do in the meantime. You adjust. You say no. You take things off your plate. You lower your expectations. You tell yourself, this is just the season I'm in, and I can do hard things for a season. Except then the season doesn't end. Or it changes shape — but the heaviness doesn't lift. And now you're standing there thinking: okay. How long am I supposed to keep living like this? That's what we're talking about today.

    Ep. 276: "I Don't Have Time": When Time Isn't Actually the Problem

    Send us Fan Mail As I prepare for this conversation, today is probably my slowest day of the week. I'm off from my job at Amazon. I don't have to run anyone to swim practice. Compared to the rest of my week, I have this big open chunk of time sitting in front of me. And I'm struggling to get started. Meal prep is sitting there. The house is behind. There's homeschooling to plan. There's work for my business I keep pushing to "later." My kids' activities need to be organized. And if I'm honest, there are probably fifteen other things I could be doing right now instead of talking to you. So technically, do I have time today? Yes. Do I have unlimited capacity? Absolutely not. And that little gap right there…between having time and having capacity is what I want to talk about today.

    Ep. 275: The Reason You Can’t Get Caught Up... and Nobody’s Saying It Out Loud

    Send us Fan Mail I'm going to tell you why you can't get caught up. And I don't mean because you're disorganized. Or because you need a better planner. Or that you're not disciplined enough. Or you procrastinate too much. Or you need a better morning routine. Or you just need one really productive week where nobody bothers you and you finally get your crap together. I think there's a completely different reason. And once you see it, I think you're going to start looking at your overwhelm very differently. And today, I’m going to tell it to you straight…because no one else is talking about this whole idea of getting caught up…and why it just never works.

    Ep. 274: Why This Mess Makes You So Angry

    Send us Fan Mail You walk into the kitchen. There's a cup on the counter. Mail beside it. A package that needs to be returned. Someone's shoes are in the middle of the floor. The dishwasher is clean but hasn't been emptied. There's a water bottle sitting three feet from the sink. Three feet. Not even far. And you can feel it happening before you've even set your own bag down. You are getting angry. Not mildly annoyed. Not a little bothered. Angry. And almost immediately, another thought follows right behind it: Why am I getting this worked up over a stupid water bottle? Why can't I just ignore it? Why does this bother me so much when apparently nobody else in this house even sees it? And then maybe you get irritated with yourself for being irritated. Because really — it's a water bottle. It's some mail. It's a pair of shoes. It's just stuff. Except maybe it isn't. What is it then?  Well. We’ll talk about it today!

    Ep. 273: You Have People… So Why Do You Feel So Lonely?

    Send us Fan Mail Let me ask you a question. If something happened today, not a full-blown emergency, just something hard, and you needed to talk to somebody, who would you call? Not who would you send a funny reel to. Not who would you ask what time the game starts. Not who's in your group chat. Not the person you'd text after you'd already figured out what you were going to do on your own. I mean who could you call and say, I'm having a really hard day, I don't know what to do about this, I need somebody to talk to. And you wouldn't have to clean it up first. You wouldn't have to make it sound smaller than it is, or funnier than it is, or more together than it actually feels. Sit with that for a second. Some of you just knew immediately. A name came to mind before I even finished the question. And some of you are sitting there thinking, I don't know. And that can be a really strange realization to have in midlife, because chances are, you have people. A spouse. Kids. Adult kids. Parents. Coworkers. Neighbors. Women from church. Women you've known for twenty years. A phone full of group chats with names and inside jokes and years of history. You can have a phone full of people and still feel incredibly lonely.  Resources mentioned in this episode:  The I’m Fine Decoder-  https://www.jenniferroskamp.com/i-m-fine-decoder-jennifer Get some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on.  We have a beautiful pdf download of the 6 Mantras For Intentional Moms you can keep or print.

    Ep: 272: When Your Clothes Need to STOP TALKING!

    Send us Fan Mail Picture this. You need to get dressed. You have somewhere to be. Nothing dramatic. Just life. A meeting, a school pickup, coffee with a friend. You pull on the jeans. Nope. You try another pair. Also nope. You grab a shirt. You hate it. You take it off. Now there are clothes on the bed, clothes on the floor, clothes hanging off the closet door like they gave up too. You're irritated. You're running late. And somehow, before you've even left your bedroom, you're having a full-blown argument with your own body. Can I just say something? Our clothes need to stop talking. I’ll tell you exactly what I mean…let’s dive in!

    Ep. 271: Why You Keep Decluttering the Same Stuff

    Send us Fan Mail Have you ever decluttered a closet... and then six months later found yourself decluttering basically the same closet again? Same shelf. Same shoes you weren't sure about the first time. Same three sweaters that never quite made it out the door. Or you cleared off the kitchen counter, felt so good about it, and a month later the same categories of stuff are piled right back where they started. Or you went through a box and you made real decisions. This goes to Goodwill. I'm selling this. I need to ask my daughter about this one. I'm going to repair this. I'm keeping this. And then three weeks later... it's all still sitting there. Maybe in slightly different piles. Maybe you even reorganized the piles, which somehow felt like progress. And at some point you start thinking, how many times am I going to have to declutter this house? Didn't I already do this? Here's what I think is actually happening. You don't have a decluttering problem. You have a decision-closing problem. You made the decision. You just never finished it. Today we're going to talk about the difference between making a clutter decision and closing one. Because they are not the same thing, and that gap is exactly why your house keeps handing you the same piles over and over again.
