When you watch the hoarding shows, they usually mention that there are levels. Of course, they pick the level fours for the show because ✨️ drama ✨️, but those level four homes were once level ones... I grew up in a hoarded house and picked up a lot of those traits. Some are more easily broken than others.

[@MightyMama]

Hi April! Thank you! Its true I am at a lower level but still it impedes on the quality of not only my life but my entire family. I need to stop it now because it is getting out of control. Plus it steals so much of time and this is time I want with my family and to teach my kids how to be a good homemakers. I appreciate you so much!🥰 Have a beautiful day my friend!🌷🙏💪🤎

[@kathieponder7708]

Interesting. Thank you for sharing

[@kathieponder7708]

I am a new viewer. I have PTSD and a sudden empty nest. The struggle is real. I often feel that I have no reason to get out of bed. Haven't dressed in weeks. Won't go out any more. I am working with a therapist. Thank you so much for sharing your life. What a true blessing you are.

[@MightyMama]

Hi Kathie! 😭 My heart feels your pain. Please Never Ever Give Up!!! Your babes may be out fo the house but they are still in this world and they still need a functioning healthy Mama. I know the struggle but always remind yourself that youbare loved and needed by your children. Sometimes we forget that. They want you to get up and shower and go to therapy to get well so you can be around for them and their babies. Its a new season for you and change is uncomfortable but its also exciting. This is all part of Gods plan for you. You have new excitement to create for yourself and this means you will have to step outside of your comfort zone and try new things and meet new people. You need to take csre of yourself so you can go live the happy life that you deserve. What is one thing that you always wanted to do but couldnt because you had to be home with the kids?? Now go do it! And think of others and do others! And come back and let me know how its going. I expect to hear back from you! Once you get that happy dopamine rush you will get motivated to clean you home too! There is so much life for you to live! Dont give it up! Praying for you! Stay Mighty & God bless!🙏🤎💪💐

"I'm not going to attach memories to items anymore" is my new mantra! It is something I have not been able to put into words until I heard you say it in this video, and it's something I really need to be mindful of because this has been a serious struggle for me for years. Thank for you for being an empowering inspiration and motivation 🙏💖

Yes, I'm currently struggling with my 5 year olds daily artwork. I love it so much that I save it all!! But I think we should choose a few together to commemorate her kindergarten art!

[@sandradeenicholson]

@@meghanhertzog2426 I think you are a wonderful mother for saving her artwork...I know itz none of my business...but I hope u will keep ALL her artwork (assuming it would all fit in a fairly smallish box) Her artwork is unique to other items that take up space. I am a lifelong artist...itz how I make my living. I wish my well meaning mother would have saved the artwork from my early childhood. I will never understand why she threw it all away...but she never wanted me to be an artist...so maybe thatz why? Anyway...again...it touched my heart to read your comment...that you saved your little one's artwork. I thank you on behalf of your daughter's future self! 💛

My mom is a hoarder, watching this video gives me anxiety. Keeping way too much. If it's not in your kitchen already you don't need it OR you need to clean out your kitchen before you go through this pile. But thank you, it makes me understand her better.

[@HippieLady420]

I am definitely a hoarder. I just recently divorced of 10 years, and brought 10 years worth of stuff with me. Most is still in boxes. I cannot bring myself to declutter it yet.. but this gives me some motivation to do so, plus it's nice to know I'm not the only one, especially with your depression and anxiety cleaning videos as well. They're actually real videos. It's refreshing.

Try forgiving yourself for your boxes full o' stuff!

[@heatherzygmont5439]

I also recently divorced after over 10 years of marriage. I moved in with my mom, and all of my stuff is in boxes in either the garage or the basement. It has been 2 years since I moved in with her, I year divorced. I finally forgave myself for letting it go on so long. I have a 10 gallon tote full of travel mugs, and one full of just coffee mugs... I feel the pain of having too much stuff.

Thank you for the real decluttering your showing. For me, I’m a mom but my son is grown and married. After having my fifth surgery I went from being extremely active to disabled. Now I’m slowly decluttering. It’s hard for me because I’m in pain. Your videos really motivates me. Thank you!

Decluttering is an emotional and stressful process. I have been there. I started working on my hoarding when my 2nd child was born, 8 years ago. I am finally feeling the affects of owning less!

[@MightyMama]

Wow! You have really helped to motivate me to move a little quicker. I certainty do not want to wait that long to feel peace from being uncluttered. 🤣 Good for you for sticking with it and doing it all with a newborn. Part of my delay was I couldnt do it with the babies and so things just kept piling up and getting pushed aside until starting this journey here. My youngest will be 4 in a few weeks and my eldest is 13. So its beens a long time coming for me and I am ready to start seeing and feeling the results of decluttering. Thanks for being here!🤎🙏💪

[@nicolechew1029]

One thing that helps me declutter is something I heard Dawn from The Minimal Mom talk about. If you can replace it for $20 or less in 20 minutes, get rid of it. It helped me throw out all my old coffee canisters that I was saving in case I needed to store something in them. It's so much easier to throw out dumb crap now 🤣

Seeing you do this by yourself breaks my heart.I think you need someone to be with you as a support person and help you clean up even if it's just taking things out of the area or taking the trash out. Praying for you,God bless❤️

[@MightyMama]

You are so sweet Susan! Actually, I'd much rather be alone while decluttering. It is a sensitive situation for me and my OCD needs things to be done a certain way where someone elses help would only make me irritable and waste more of my energy. I am fine! I promise I prefer this time alone but thank you for your support! It means so much to me!🥰🤎💪🙏🌷

The idea of taking pictures of the platter for your album was pretty genius. Personally, I'd do that and destroy it, burying it in my backyard.

[@rosarianclemons1720]

All I can say is God led me to your video this evening. I readily admit that I’m a hoarder and I’m also depressed and have zero energy just about everyday. I take meds for my depression but when I have a bad day, I buy “stuff”-either at a resale shop, TJ Maxx, The Dollar Twenty-Five Cent Tree (lol!), or online. When I buy things, I can picture, in my mind, where I want to put them or use them….except I never do and they just keep adding up until, at this moment, there’s barely a path through my house. The buying makes me happy at that time but whatever it is just gets thrown on something when I get home. I get sooooo frustrated with myself-Thank You for being real and helping others feel they’re not alone and giving us ideas and tips that are really doable and not too overwhelming.

[@alexandriaotto8144]

You have no idea how much this is helping me today. I can't wait to watch all of your videos, I am beyond ready for a change. I can tell you're doing this from a place of love and it just makes me feel not alone. God Bless you!

[@RACHELORI]

We started minimalism a year and a half ago. We did not have a ton of stuff but we are in our 3rd house with 4 kids & so we accumulated things within the years. We started just tossing things that I wondered why I had kept. Styles & trends change; therefore, things my 1st child used will not get used by my 4th child. In addition, we got so good at buying less & less of things that the house looks minimal with 4 kids than it did with 3 kids. It took a year to clean out all the rooms, seasonal decor, the garage, bathroom items, etc. Good luck on your journey.

[@gwenellison5386]

I am a hoarder and have been decluttering my place for a year and a half. I'm almost there. What I have found is it happens in layers. Don't worry about decluttering "perfectly" in one go. Do the best you can and then go over it again later. It amazes me how I will think I have decluttered because I reduced a category by 50%+ then look again and realize I need to get rid of at least half yet again. My main issue is not over shopping and cluttering my place again. In one of the decluttering/minimalism videos I watched someone said "If you have too much stuff, no matter how you organize it it will look messy." This quote has helped me so much. Sometimes when I declutter and then organize it still feels wrong, and usually the problem is there is still too much.

[@niobeofzion4386]

Great job, it's a big step, congratulations 🎉

[@fatfullday]

You know what helped me declutter a lot of sentimental items was realizing that i actually felt kinda sad when i saw those things. Yes it made me remember sweet times, but it came with a sad emotion. However, if i just remembered that person who had past, or just remembered my sweet tiny newborn babies, I could just feel happy about the memory. The physical item made me kinda sad. So i just let those things go and i can have peace in knowing that those times were sweet, even if i don't always remember every single one.

[@AndreiFantastic]

Finally someone with an actual messy and overloaded house! I saw my own struggles as I watched you trying to get rid of stuff. Even when it’s clear I have too much stuff, half or more is unused I still struggle to get rid of it Then I saw how your maybe pile kept growing and that seems like it’s part of the executive functioning issues that can cause people with ptsd or adhd to hoard. Instead of following through, your brain wants to stop halfway and focus on more rewarding actions and has trouble with decision making ! But you’re trying and doing it ❤

[@stefbmccoy8297]

Thank you for this concept & thought process. ❤️❤️

One thing I started doing for sentimental things I want to get rid of, like that platter, is to take a picture. You may never use that huge platter, but with a picture you'll always have an image of your nana's signature around.

I think hoarding is a spectrum. I have such a hard time physically, mentally, and emotionally letting go of anything. Now obviously I don’t keep trash, but if I haven’t used something in a two years but I spent so much money on this hobby that I can’t get rid of it.

[@edensgarden1775]

Take pictures of your sentimental items and put them in a album. That way you can look at it now and than. Do this with children's items too and give them the memory album when they graduate. I'm slowly decluttering myself. We moved into a very small 2 bedroom on a acre of land. I have so much I need to get rid of so my house doesn't look cluttered and junkie. My daughter has a hoarding problem so I need to go through it when she's at school. She is 16 yrs old. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@magicmegan4290]

Hoarding is a spectrum. It's holding onto different things for different reasons. If someone's upset because you say you're a hoarder even though you don't look like the extreme version of that, that's like arguing with someone saying they're an alcoholic even though they're not drunk all the time because they're trying to manage it. LOL

[@carriestott2490]

[@VaraVannerSimpleLiving]

As far as the mental illness it has to do with your reaction to even the idea of letting go. Someone can have a lot of things (a hoard) and not qualify as having hoarding tendencies. It has to do with emotionally reacting and having severe anxiety over letting go of things. This is why I like to clearify that I have hoarding tendencies to help people understand that for me it goes beyond just having things. But even if you dont have those tendencies and you just have things, I don't think it is wrong to say you hoard. It's just a different kind of hoarding. ❤ I dont know if u have been medically diagnosed, but from watching your video I see lots of similar tendencies to my hoarding habits. It's important to know that you can improve when it comes to hoarding and you are using many techniques that are recommended to hoarders including photographing things to ease the pressure of letting them go. I love that you were talking through your reasons for keeping or letting go; that is so helpful for hoarders. Great video! Edit: googone is the best for removing sticky labels to repurpose containers.

[@ednarose86]

For things that are personalized, it may seem crazy to donate it, but there are lots of people that do DIY's and repurposing. So things like the platter could be painted over. Clothing can be cut into pieces, or they may use it just to practice a new technique on. So just a reminder that not everything has to be "used as is".

[@Lillinah]

Wow you made really great progress! You can be so proud of you 😊 I think its really good that you take sentimental items like the platter out of their initial home once you discover you're not going to use them. I like to put items like these in a memory bin or sth similar if I want to keep them for sentimental reasons. Its so much easier for me to have a seperate home for all kinds of sentimental items. You can always put things from all over your house there when you realize you don't want to use them but aren't ready to part with them yet bc of the sentimental value they have. And when you finally have all of your memory items in one spot you can slowly start to declutter those once you feel ready. This goes hand in hand with the rule that its often easier to declutter things of the same kind. I think it's absolutely fine to have a hard time parting with sentimental items and to keep them for now if you're not ready to letting go of them yet. But its great to have a home for those things so you know immediatly where to put them. For me this speeds up the decluttering process a lot. Maybe thats a solution for you when you stumble across sentimental items while decluttering. You could for example create an extra pile for sentimental stuff in addition to the donation, trash and keep piles. I really like your channel and I'm so excited to see your progress in the upcoming videos! 😊

[@MightyMama]

Hello my friend! And thank you for the genius advice and tips! I think I am going to do that from now on so I do not get stuck during a job.

The key to becoming a minimalist is really being ready to let go of all the stuff you once were not ready to let go of there’s really no In between so lots of luck on the journey took me a while but I’m ready to let it go😌

[@ccelms6581]

I keep going back and forth on suggesting this because I sooooo understand that there is stuff that we NEED to get rid of, ESPECIALLY if we’re not using it. So please just accept this as me, a fellow recovering hoarder, just tossing out this idea even if it’s a very bad one: As far as the platter with the signatures on it… is there a place in your house where you could hang it on the wall or display on a shelf as decor with other wedding memorabilia? You said you don’t like the color or style so I perfectly understand why that idea will absolutely not work and why you didn’t want to ever do that. Either way, I understand why either keeping it or getting rid of it would be a struggle and I’m proud of you for being strong decisive enough to let it go. Sentimental stuff is especially hard for me to toss.

[@MightyMama]

Girl you were in my head in this very moment and like you said these thoughts were the hoarder in me finding anyway i can keep it. In the end after sleeping on it, I felt so good about letting it go because I know I have the pictures of it that will be in my wedding album. It was actually a victorious feeling and so freeing to know that I could let that go without any pain. I feel like I am taking control back again. Thank you for being a friend! You motivate me to keep going. Have a beautiful day!🤎💪🙏🌷

Thank you SO much, I needed to hear it! I’ve learned a so very much from you! Thank you for being so courageous and sharing your journey; you truly are a mighty mama in Christ!❤️

NO, just take a photo of sentimental items and toss them without guilt. You can look at them anytime that way but they are not an albatross around your neck.

Lovely share

[@amyfletcher4749]

Awsome start!

[@dainasmith9820]

Laura I have been working on the same things too. I started with closets and drawers so I had a place for what I wanted to keep. Doing one corner at a time. I am getting there. I worked my butt off when kids were growing up and no I old school homeschooled. I had to go back to work when youngest was a senior. No longer did I have all day to do everything. Then I went through a huge bout of depression and anxiety but I functioned thru like I had done all my life. Then 3.5 yrs ago the greatest thing happened to me. God gave me grandchildren. 2 girls 3 weeks apart. Now a grandson and another n the way. I also had given a home to a close relative that has severe mental disorders. More than I knew how to take care Of. With working and grandchildren and normal things in life more clutter came and I t was hard to get to areas and clean. My lord relative moved out then my adult son’s apt flooded. He and his stuff moved back in. More o f the same. I remember you talking about your perfectionism one time. Oh f you can’t get everything done perfectly at once you couldn’t get started. That was the first time I’ve had ever heard anything of that and realized that was me. I am still fighting with hru this mental attitude and seeing so much progress. Thank you so much. Sorry this was so long but watching you and fearfullycreated has helped me so much. I love 2 ladies but have never met. Mmmwhaaa

[@jillneer7305]

I love my Roborock as well! Mine doesn't empty itself, but regardless, it does an excellent job vacuuming my home!!!!!!

[@kateybremer9660]

You should keep the napkin holder one for the dining table and one for the outside table

[@lauralee2248]

Can you hang the platter in a frame on the wall or find another use for it like on an end table with a lamp on it or something... just something its got so many good memories and Nana is on it ... be creative and you can come up with some way to utilize and cherish it..

[@jennifersershen927]

The platter is the same blue as your other serving pieces; could be used for anything and throwing it away is just filling landfills for no reason. This is definitely a keeper.

[@Amandahugginkizz]

It's always going to a landfill eventually, when she dies it will go to a landfil 🙄 plus its ceramic it's biodegradable 🙄

[@pbandjedi5006]

Thanks for sharing I am loving this while I am trying to get the motivation to declutter. Just a note that helps me - don't put that large container/bag on the top of your pantry. Like the dead plant you will forget about it and since all the items in there will not be easily accessible you will probably go out an re buy rather than use. I would make a space in the floor of your pantry and put them there so they are accessible.

[@artzbyme4438]

Thank you so much for this video! I haven’t realise that I am a hoarder, but yes I am!! First I felt ashamed, but then I thought. No, this girl does really know what she is talking about. She is a hoarder herself and if she can do it, I can do it! I know it’s gonna be really hard, but I will do it. Your videos will give me motivation and inspiration and help me getting me through it all. I wish I had someone like you to talk to throughout my process. But I will look at everything about declutter on your YT-channel and listen to all your tips and advice. Again - Thank you a bunch ❤️ Love from a new subscriber from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@laurasimpson7650]

Bravo on the decluttering! 👏

[@oh2887]

Thanks for video. I hoard stuff mainly paperwork and books from everything my kids had in school ( they are grown up and moved out) and old paper work from years ago employment . The sitting roim and kitchen and bathroom are ok ish. But the bedrooms are stacked with this stuff. I have gotten rid of five bags of stuff this week though. You are an inspiration and thank you for being so candid.

[@rondarabb6205]

I enjoy your videos. I have a roborock 6 and love it.

You can use the plastic box to carry the Kool aid cups buy the pool and put ice in it

[@scratchingthesurface5589]

Keep the wedding shower platter and let the "undecided" go

[@michelehice8338]

Goo Gone will get labels off plastic.. just started watching you.. love decluttering videos

[@MJ-qt9uf]

Make a pillow from your husband's apron. Your wedding platter can be broken n stones for stepping stone. I am definitely a hoarder. Got it from my mom, and having different families/homes.

[@marlenelieb5935]

Once you really redo the kitchen you could consider getting cabinets up to the ceiling. You can put out of seasonal and party stuff there and it will be impossible to put anything on top of it that adds visual clutter. We used to have that it is amazing when you have high ceilings. You just need a nice ladder to get the stuff.

[@deirdrerosesharples7453]

My robo, put on landing, just put on auto, went into bedrooms and stops at first step for stairs then turned around they are great aren't they

@@MightyMama we have an Alexa, my boyfriend sat up so I have no clue. I use it for a kitchen timer and music for my little boy for dance parties in the kitchen! I enjoy your channel, thanks for putting your life out there for us to follow along!

[@0JReynolds]

I absolutely love organizing. Wish I could be there to help you. I am a hoarder of sorts. Although if you come to my house you’d never know it. I keep everything in its place and stored. Do you have a large linen closet? That can be a nice storage area for things not used often. Another idea is cabinets in a garage along a long wall. On a day that you are doing a major cleaning it’s best to make something in a crockpot. I usually do a pot roast in the oven. Anyway, best of luck on your journey.

[@tarigeorge6122]

I like how you explain your decisions it helps me make my own. Thank you.

[@MightyMama]

I was hoping to not be longwinded and annoying but I want to be raw and real about the decluttering process because this is the parts I struggle with too. I want to know how it is decided so I thought it would be helpful to share. So thank you for telling me this because I was hoping to be.🤎💪🙏 You can do this! Remember the why! I am going to talk about this more in next weeks video. Have a beautiful day my friend!🌷

[@tarigeorge6122]

@@MightyMama thank you so much! You did just what you hoped for and now I’m working on my linen closet. Started donate boxes, garage over flowing, and getting things together. 😍 Thank you have a great week end!

Goo Gone is the best for removing labels and price tags!

[@MightyMama]

I should try that. It did work for my floors that had old dried tape stuck on. Idk why i didnt think of using it for containers.🤦‍♀️ Others, also suggested using a hairdryer and thdn wiping it off. They say this works. Excited to try it out. Thanks for hanging with me. Have a great day!🤎🙏🌷💪😘

You did a great job decluttering!

[@cherryboo65b56]

I have the ROBOROCK E SERIES!!! It’s the best! I’m disabled so it keeps me from having to sweep therefore not injuring my back.

[@MightyMama]

Its the best! Omg! I am really not a tech futureistic person. Just call me Old Skool pen and paper kind of gal but getting the Roborock has really changed my mind about having robots in my home!🤣 Its a amazing! My floors never have dust bunnies anymore! But I still need to bust out the upright once a week to know I am not missing anything in the carpets and use my mop to bleach my kitchen floors!🤣 I would imagine it has been a lifesaver for you or anyone with a disability. Thank God for technology. Have a beautiful day my friend!🥰💪🙏🌷

I read somewhere that clutter increases anxiety. It makes sense. More to manage, more time to do it and frustration...

[@jamiepan7650]

Great job. I have a really hard time getting rid of things too. My garage is a nightmare.

[@prettycareofficial]

Love the way you you cleaning❤❤

[@missie.ann.317]

To remove sticky stuff from labels on your storage containers... Use any oil to let it sit and soak into the label. Then you can rub it off with your finger or it scrapes off easy with a spatula or something similar to a credit card. I"collect" containers also lol😎

[@thelifeofgrandmaoffour7315]

Thank you! Very much needed 💖

[@karaumbenhauer2049]

I had to downsize all of my decorations, It’s just me and my husband anymore, and it really was a lot to decorate with. I really had a hard time, I got a lot of it at yard sales, which I enjoyed doing and collecting and I remembered which yard sale I got it, how excited I found that decoration, it was harder then I thought but, it really was time

[@MightyMama]

Hi Kara! I know how you feel. Just remembering the joy the things brought us makes it so hard. Although, I have realized this to be part of my problem is finding joy in buying or collecting things but not feeling that same joy in people. This is something i want to change about me. Its super hard especially when you came from nothing your whole life and now I have all the things. Its almost sinful if you think about it. Change is hard. Thank you for being here to help me through this journey. 🤎🙏💪🌷😘

[@celesteg1088]

Thank you! 💕

Thank you🤎💪🙏🌷

[@renaeodriscoll]

My mom has the same problem with letting things go, She is always out buying things that she doesn’t really need. I love her to bits but she cannot get to anything that she actually uses in her house because she’s too anxious to get rid of the stuff she never uses. I see it in myself sometimes as well. I really wanted to like this video but I think it was too close to home for me. Best of luck to you. Hope you get to a place where you can feel happy with your space.

[@RadCenter]

After you photograph that platter from your wedding shower, try using a solvent such as nail polish remover on the written messages. They might come off, leaving a platter that could be reused by someone else.

Hi Nancy! Great idea but it was a special ink that I had to bake on and its permant now. 🤦‍♀️ I hate throwing things away. Thanks for being here.😘🙏💪🌷
