    Ep. 282: Why the Holidays Feel Like So Much Work (Even Before They Begin)

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the conversation today, Friend!  Today we're talking about something that I think is already starting to take up space in a lot of women's heads, even though we're still in October. The holidays. And specifically, why the holidays can feel like so much work before they've even begun. Because when we think about the holidays, we tend to think about the obvious things. The shopping, cooking, decorating, wrapping gifts, hosting, and all the events on the calendar. But what about everything that happens before any of those things? The planning. The decisions. The remembering. The conversations. The coordinating. All the things that somebody has to think about before anything actually gets done. And that's where I think so much of the overwhelm begins. I've been talking quite a bit lately about how every task has attachments. There's the task itself, and then there are all the other responsibilities connected to it. So today I've invited someone who approaches a lot of these same challenges from a different perspective. Lisa Woodruff is the founder of Organize 365, and she's spent years helping women create systems for managing their homes and the responsibilities that come with them. Lisa and I recently had a chance to connect, and one of the things I found so interesting was how much our work complements each other.

    Ep. 281: I Don't Need Another Date Night. I Need a Partner.

    Send us Fan Mail Let's talk about something I think a lot of married women in midlife are quietly experiencing. Your husband notices that you're unhappy. Maybe you're irritated more often. Maybe you're short with him over little things. Maybe you're not particularly affectionate anymore. Maybe you've stopped starting conversations, or you've found reasons to be in another room when he's around. And he decides that what you need is a date night. Which sounds lovely, right? He's trying. He's paying attention. He wants things to feel better between you. Except you're sitting there thinking, "I don't want to go on a date with you. I want you to notice that the trash is overflowing without me having to tell you." Or, "I don't want flowers. I want you to recognize that I'm exhausted." Or maybe, "I don't want to spend three hours across a table pretending everything is wonderful, when I'm going to walk back in the door and still be responsible for everything." And then you feel terrible. Because he's trying to do something nice, and you can't even muster up appreciation for it. So now you're not just tired and frustrated. You're also wondering what's wrong with you. Why can't you just enjoy the nice thing? Why are you so hard to please? But what if the problem isn't that you're ungrateful? What if you're not hard to please at all? What if you're asking for partnership, and he thinks you're asking for romance? That's what we're talking about today.

    Ep. 280: Your Marriage Didn't Fall Apart Overnight. So What Happened?

    Send us Fan Mail I saw a scene recently that I haven't been able to shake. And I'm going to be honest with you right up front. I don't remember what I was watching. I don't know if it was a movie or a show. I couldn't tell you the title if you paid me. But I remember the scene. Because it stopped me in my tracks. There's this couple. They're older. Successful. You can tell just by looking at them that they've built a really comfortable life together. Nice house. Nice things. He's got that distinguished gray hair. She's got a short blonde bob. They look like the kind of couple who has it all figured out. And she's standing in the kitchen, and she's telling him she's done. She's done parenting everybody. The kids. The dog. And him. She reminds him of what he promised her all those years ago. That he would work hard and provide a good life, so that one day they could actually enjoy it. Together. And here's the thing. He did provide that life. He kept that part of the promise. But he's still gone. Still working. Still operating like nothing has changed. Like they're still in the building years, when she thought they'd finally made it to the enjoying years. And she's done waiting. I watched that and I thought, I know so many women who feel exactly like that. Not necessarily because they want to leave their marriages. But because they genuinely don't know how to keep living in them the way they are. And here's what I find so fascinating about that scene. She has reached the point where she's questioning whether she can stay married. And he may be standing there wondering what on earth just happened. Because from where he's standing, things have been pretty good. So how does that happen? How do two people spend decades building a life together and end up experiencing that marriage so completely differently? And maybe the question you're actually asking: how did the man I married become someone I can barely stand to be around? That's what we're talking about today.  Resources mentioned in this episode:  https://www.jenniferroskamp.com/midlife-marriage-maps-walk-talk 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. 279: What the Holidays Really Cost Moms

    Send us Fan Mail The holidays are expensive—but not only because of gifts, groceries, travel, and everything else we spend money on. For many moms, the bigger cost is invisible. It's the time. The mental load. The emotional energy. The responsibility for everyone else's experience. And sometimes, the cost is missing the very moments we're working so hard to create. In this episode, we're going to talk about those hidden costs—and how to create a more intentional holiday that includes you, too.

    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.

    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.
