So I'm sitting on my couch this past weekend

Winter decorations are still out. It's mid-February. They should've come down a couple of weeks ago because I’m over winter. 

There are three loads of laundry in a pile on my bedroom floor, which is in plain view from where I sit. Clean, but not folded. Just sitting there.

My meal planning? Untouched. Haven't even thought about it.

And I'm watching a movie...

Today we're diving into something I see happen all the time with the women inside Accomplished Lifestyle and honestly, it's something I've lived myself.

Let’s talk clutter today.

Last week when we talked about clutter we talked about structure…what it is, why it matters, and how it gives your brain the external support it needs to finally let go of clutter.

We talked about why your brain keeps things visible as a protection mechanism. Why papers stay out on the counter. Why surfaces turn into work zones. And how structure creates the containers, routines, and clear next st...

Hey friend,

Let's get real for a second.

You haven't lost your mind. You haven't failed at life. And you're not broken.

But something feels off, doesn't it?

You're tired in a way that sleep can't fix. You're overwhelmed in a way that to-do lists can't solve. You're stuck in a way that motivation can't touch.

And you keep wondering: What is wrong with me?

Here's wha...

Most women don’t struggle with clutter because they don’t know what to do.

They struggle because they’re missing two invisible supports:
Structure and Permission.

You need both. One without the other doesn’t work.

Before we dive in today, I want you to take a breath with me. A real one.

Because if you're listening to this while folding laundry, washing dishes, or sneaking in a walk before the day takes over I see you. And I want you to know something right now, before we go any further.

You're not tired because you're lazy.

You're tired because your mind won't stop spinning.

And today, I'm going to sho...

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever cleaned your kitchen counter—really cleaned it—only to find it covered again two days later?

Have you ever decluttered a drawer, a basket, a corner of your bedroom—and then watched it slowly fill back up with random stuff you don't even remember putting there?

Have you ever looked around your house and thought, "I swear I just cleaned this. How is it a mess again already?...

You’ve tried decluttering.
You’ve tried motivation.
But the stuff just keeps coming back.

What if the problem isn’t you?
What if the reason you can’t keep up… is because you were never meant to?

In this episode, we unpack the real reason clutter keeps returning—and it’s not about trying harder. It’s about capacity, nervous system load, and how your current season is silently shaping your decisions.

This is Episode 2 in our three-part clutter series. 

If you haven't listened to Episode 1 yet—where we walked through all 10 clutter languages—go back and start there. Because today we're going deep on one specific language. And it's going to make a lot more sense if you've got the foundation.

It’s the episode right before this one - and they all start with Clutter Help

What if the reason you feel like you're drowning isn't because you're floundering, weak, or failing at life but because no one ever taught you how to carry everything that you’re carrying?

Think about that for a second.

You've held it all together. Quietly. Consistently. You've shown up when you didn't want to. You've kept going when everyone else checked out. And now it's catchin...

Can we just be honest for a second?

I'm tired. I'm tired of the noise around weight loss right now. The before-and-afters flooding your feed. The "I lost 30 pounds and I've never felt better!" posts. The transformation photos with the glowing captions about finally finding what works.

Because here's what they're not telling you: half of them got a shot. Or a prescription. Or some medic...

Hey friend.

If you feel like you've lost your ability to make a decision of any size, your motivation, or your ability to follow through… you are absolutely not alone.

And if you're sitting there thinking, "I used to be so capable. What happened to me?"—I need you to know that what you're experiencing isn't laziness. It's not a character flaw. And it's not permanent.

Hey friend, welcome back to The Intentional Midlife Mom. I'm Jennifer Roskamp, and I'm glad you're here.

Let me tell you something I've seen over and over again in the women I coach.

It's not a big, dramatic breakdown. It's not a miracle morning or an aha moment that changes everything overnight.

It's quiet. Subtle. Easy to miss if you're not paying attention.

But it's the mome...

Hey friend.

Let's tell the truth about something most women carry in secret—something you might whisper to yourself at 2 a.m. when you can't sleep, or when you're staring at that planner you bought with such hope three months ago:

"I know what to do. I just don't do it."

Maybe you've said it about the clutter that keeps coming back. Or the weight you can't seem to lose—again. Or th...
