We're talking about mindset today, we're talking about the frustration that I have with

all the empty promises of from stuff that I've purchased that never works out like I think

it has all those impulse buys, all the things that I thought were going to make my life

easier, how they are impacting me in such a negative way, and we're also going to talk

about motivation. Hey, clutter bugs. Welcome back to the clutter bug podcast. I thought we

talked today a little bit about everything when it comes to getting your house under control.

Today was the all day declutter, the live all day declutter with the take your house back

team. So I have a course with Dawn from the Minimal Mom and Dana from Aslub comes clean.

About four times a year, we do an all day live declutter where we kind of just act like

coaches and help people declutter their space and organize their space live. There are thousands

of people who take part in this event and it's always really inspiring and really, really motivating.

But also, I don't know, it's so emotional for me. It's such an eye-opening experience because

I sometimes forget what it's really like to live in chaos and clutter. It's just been so long.

We kind of get used to our current environment and our current lifestyle. But so many people in

this group are sharing pictures and they're sharing active pictures. And when I look at these,

it's like it's like a stab to the heart because my home looked like that. Most of the photos that

feel that that painful wear or the before photos obviously, kitchens where you can't even see the

countertop and sometimes not even the floor. Bedrooms where the piles of clothes are almost as high

as the bed on either side, living rooms where there's kind of like paths to the sofa or the chair

and everything's just everywhere. Every flat surface covered with stuff. And these people who are

sharing these photos who are joining this group who are pouring their heart out and being just so

honest with their struggles. I remember what it's like to be there. I remember the shame and the guilt.
