Hey, y'all. I wanted to let you know that I am speaking at this year's Get Organized HQ, an online event.

My session is called Busting Through Decluttering Roadblocks. And it will go live on Monday, September 8th at 1 o'clock p.m.

Eastern time. And it's free to watch for the first 24 hours. You can get your free ticket at a sobcomesclean.com.com slash hq. That's a slobcemsclean.com

slash hq. Welcome to a slobcams clean the podcast. I am Danny K. White. I share my personal
