Hey friend, welcome back to The Intentional Midlife Mom podcast. I'm Jennifer Roskamp, and I'm so glad you're here.
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.
I get messages every single week from women who tell me the same thing. They say, "Jennifer, I used to be so capable and competant. I used to handle everything. And now I can't even decide what's for dinner without second-guessing myself three times."
And here's what I want you to hear right from the start: if that's you, you're not broken.
You're not lazy.
You're not slipping.
You're tired. And tired brains don't behave like lazy brains—they behave like overloaded systems shutting down.
There's a difference. And when you understand that difference, everything starts to shift.
See, somewhere along the way, you started believing that your inability to follow through was a character flaw. That your lack of motivation meant something was fundamentally wrong with you. That if you just tried harder, wanted it more, or had more discipline, you'd snap back into the woman you used to be.
But that's not how this works.
Your brain is tired. Your system is overloaded. And when a system is overloaded, it doesn't push harder—it shuts down. Not because it's broken, but because it's protecting itself.
So today, I'm going to show you the real reason you feel stuck. And I'm going to give you one shift—just one—that brings your capability back online faster than you expect.
No hype. No fluff. Just the truth about what's actually happening—and what actually fixes it.
Let's dive in.
Get some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
