Season 2 Episode 169
Hey, friend. Welcome back to The Intentional Midlife Mom podcast. I'm Jennifer Roskamp, and I have a question for you.
How many times have you listened to something—maybe even one of my episodes—and thought "Finally, someone gets it"? You've nodded your head. Maybe you've even cried a little, in your car or folding laundry or wherever you sneak in these moments of truth.
You've felt seen. Validated. Less alone.
The weight you carry? The exhaustion that sits in your bones? The mental load that never stops spinning? You've heard me talk about it, and you've thought "Yes. That's exactly what it feels like."
And that validation? It matters. It's real. It's necessary.
But I want to ask you something else: then what?
You feel seen, you feel understood, you know you're not alone—and then what happens? Do you close the app and go back to your day, carrying the same load, feeling the same exhaustion, stuck in the same patterns?
If so, you're not failing. But we're missing something crucial.
Because knowing you're not alone? That's step one. Today, we're talking about step two. What do you do with this awareness? How do you turn feeling seen into actually moving forward?
I'll be honest—I've had several episodes recently where the feedback has been "I feel so seen" and "Finally, someone understands." And I'm grateful for that. Truly. But I also know that if we stop there, we're doing you a disservice.
Today we're talking about the benefits of being understood, the gifts of emotional clarity, and why these conversations aren't just about comfort—they're about movement. I'll walk you through why awareness is more than validation—it's your launchpad. And I'll give you some clear, practical steps for what comes next.
Because you're not meant to stay stuck in "I feel seen" forever. You're meant to take that awareness and build something powerful with it.
Let's dive in.
