Listen Later

What happens when you wake up one day and realize your kids are getting OLDER?! Like, so old they are going to be leaving the house soon and branching out into their own adult life. It can really hit a mother hard, and that’s exactly what happened to today’s guest, Jennifer Roskamp.


Jennifer is a mom to 9 beautiful homeschooled children, grandmother to 2, certified intentional living coach, and founder of The Intentional Mom - a community that helps women and moms create personalized solutions to feel accomplished, content, and fulfilled at the end of the day. She founded this community as a result of that moment where she realized her kids were growing up - fast.


She doesn’t want to look back with regret and realize her life and her children have come and gone so quickly - in a blur. She decided to get intentional about the way she and her family were living. Today we talk about having a say as to how we spend our days and being mindful of the choices we make.
