Welcome to a slob comes clean the podcast. I am Dana K. White. I share my personal deslobification process.

As I figure out ways to keep my own home under control, I share the truth about cleaning and organizing

strategies that actually work in real life for real people, even people who don't like cleaning and

organizing. Thanks for joining me today. This is podcast number 509. And I think I'm going

to call it getting unstuck in overwhelming decluttering situations. So I love this conversation

that we're having today. Just a delightful member of my Patreon community. And we talk about multiple different issues faced

on these rooms where you're like, I've done the trash, I've done the donate, and then I walk in,

and I'm like, I don't know what to do. So we talk about getting unstuck.

And it just was a really great conversation.

I do want to tell you this tip that she told me after we had stopped recording that I thought was so great.

And that is she was saying that when her grandsons come over and they don't want to clean up,

she specifically was talking about in the kitchen,

like cleaning up, she said, hey, I'll take a before picture. And something about the before

picture and seeing the impact that they can make to see the difference in the after picture

is just so motivating for her grandsons. And I thought, well, that is the cutest and coolest and

greatest idea ever. So I know

a lot of y'all have little ones that are in your homes. And so give it a try. See what could happen.

I thought that was a great idea. So I hope you enjoyed this conversation. Here we go.

Welcome. Thank you so much for coming on and talking about you. You're welcome and thank you for having me.

I'm so excited. So tell me a little bit about your unique life situation. I am retired. My children are

grown, but they live nearby. Two of them do, and one lives in Texas.

So that's kind of fun too. I was just there yesterday.
