The Intentional Midlife Mom Podcast | Simple, Practical Life, Home & Mindset Solutions for Moms Over 40
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!
