Welcome to The Intentional Mom™ Podcast, where we provide simple, practical solutions for women over 40 and over 50 who are feeling lost in their lives as their kids are getting older & leaving the nest. Hosted by Certified Intentional Living Coach, Jennifer Roskamp, this empowering show is brought to you by Accomplished Lifestyle, dedicated to helping women and moms over 40 and 50 craft the life they truly desire within their homes & families.
Our mission is to help you find your purpose, your confidence, and yourself as a person since your kids are more independent & maybe even off on their own.
Each week, join us as we candidly discuss common pitfalls, challenges, and stumbling blocks that often leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, and lost about what our purpose is when our kids aren't needing us like they did before. With Jennifer’s guidance, we’ll explore how to uncover & rediscover who YOU are and what YOU actually want. You’ll discover that you’re not alone in the emotions, challenges, and trials of everyday life. Instead, you’ll feel seen, understood, and inspired to move forward just one step at a time, stepping into the you you've always wanted to be!

Ep. 271: Why You Keep Decluttering the Same Stuff
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
