Ep. 250: The Stuff You're Saving for Someday Is Costing You Today

Send us Fan MailI want to start today with something that happened to me not too long ago. I opened a closet — not even the big one, just a hall closet… and I stood there for a solid minute just staring.It was full. Packed. And almost none of it was stuff I actually use.There was a box of craft supplies I bought during COVID with plans of working on some fun art projects with my homeschooled kids.. Unopened. Still in the bag from Hobby Lobby. There was a stack of books I bought with every intention of reading. There was a workout program — the physical DVDs, which tells you how long ago I bought them…anyone remember Billy Blanks?And I just stood there thinking: who did I think I was going to become?Because that closet wasn't full of stuff. It was full of a version of me I kept meaning to become. The creative me. The disciplined me. The organized, inspired, finally-has-time-for-herself me.And the weight of it…I'm not talking about the physical weight, I'm talking about the emotional weight hit me harder than I expected.So today we're going there.The stuff you're saving for someday is costing you today.This is going to be a hard conversation, but it’s an important one that we’re having here.So let’s get started.Resources mentioned in this episode: https://substack.com/@jenniferroskampIf you’d like to chat about what texting with me, getting the help you need looks like, just send an email with “texting” in the subject line to: [email protected] - I’ll explain more and we can see if it’s the right fit for you. Get some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on. We have a beautiful pdf download of the 6 Mantras For Intentional Moms you can keep or print.
