Tracy what great progress you have made. A lot of people think decluttering is to become a minimalist and that is just not true for everyone. Decluttering to me is to get my house to where I am happy with it and I can manage the contents. Keep on going. April you are so good at helping people and encouraging them without being judgmental about what they want to keep. A good example to me is the puffy coats. Tracy does have quite a few but now that she has them in one spot and can see what she has it definitely will help stop buying more. Love the video.

Thank you for your words ❤ I'm german and can't describe what I think so well in English.

I think the people saw too many minimalistic wardrobes under the decluttering topic and have problems to accept that maximalist exist too!? 😮

April has the patience of a saint here. On the other hand, especially when you have such a strong emotional connection to your things, starting "just" organizing is a big step. If she can keep this system she will see of what she has too much over time. And then she can declutter some more. I guess it's like loosing weight - and then maintining that weight and new habits. Then go on again. Still, some tough love can be helpful from time to time 😅

Absolutely the same! Dani is like the gold standard of getting your stuff in order, she inspires me so much!! Tracy is doing so so much better though and I can see she is working hard to let stuff go but I worry that the great unhoard might be just another way of holding onto things. I’m only 5 minutes in so fingers crossed!!!
@pk51945 ай бұрын
To be honest, last episodes with Dani were quite boring, she is easy to let go clothes (esp it is easy if they simply doesn't fit her size anymore) but didn't get rid of much in the kitchen (stuff he likes). This is the same type of hoarding, just different category of things. Tracy wears her stuff but does Dani use all her Starbucks mug collection? I doubt it. I personally would suffocate and never cook in the cluttered (even after decluttering) kitchen like hers :( And also, I think it is much worse to hold things and never use it, eg like makeup collection they throw away with Dani. Wasted money, wasted product, took away from someone who could use and enjoy it. But we all have our lessons. It's good that she came to her senses now with April, but if you have looked at Dani before, you might criticize just the same. So let's not judge Tracey too hard, it is just the beginning of her journey, we never know how she will be in few years. Both ladies are at different points of their awareness, and kudos to April to show both ways!

I am very minimal with my clothes, but I love this series with Tracy. She has decluttered a fair chunk of her stuff, and if she loves the rest of it and wants to keep it then that's great. It's realistic that part of 'making space' is trying to wrangle and organise collections like this so the person involved can enjoy what they have and not buy duplicates. I'm sure it will be beneficial to Tracy and will 'make space' in her mind as well as her home.

Creative minds are cursed/blessed with an abundance of child like enthusiasm for color and unique styles! The world needs all the Tracy's....as well as the April's to harness us in once in a while. I personally, have implemented the "container" method. Telling myself that the universe has limited my space for a reason...gently revealing to me where my personality has a tendency to lead me to overload and overwhelm. I totally get you Tracy...just keep plugging away and you will experience the freedom of less stuff to manage.

I am similar to Tracey. My house is small and I have a lot of clothes, jewellery & items. I am decluttering. I can tell you it is very hard and takes time. I took out a lot of jewellery tonight for charity from one of my cases and my case still feels heavy. I can understand all the decluttering challenges Tracey is going through as I’m going through the same. One day at a time, we will get there, sending love & happiness to Tracey 🩷

Started declutting and moving things around in my kitchen, having 2 of my adult kids and one of their boyfriends living at home with me, some things don't work good for them, so changing things so they are more willing to put them in the right place, and at same time thought I should get rid of things I no longer need or I've replaced them with something better. As I've always had a hard time letting go of things, it is slow, I just work on one area at a time, doing that in all the rooms, we are wanting to m9ve within a year, so I like to get this all done before we move, so I'm not taking things I don't need or want.

Love your series! Much progress being made. I too love clothes..and yarn..and fabric.. and books..and...lol. getting them organized after decluttering is a huge help. You are so good at helping her. I am in process of downsizing after being in my home 41 years. It's a work in progress for sure. I have given my girls things and donated lots. Don't want to leave my girls a mess to go through. We are all different and have different interests and attachments to our stuff. I know the season of life I am in that I am changing my perspective on things. Thatsock pile is amazing! I once years ago hada sock matching party with a friend. We had her children and mine helping..had snacks and celebrated wen done. It amazes me how mismatches turn up! 😊😂❤

The sock block😆 I'm watching your videos with Tracy and Dani over and over again, they are so wholesome and fun🥰 To me, Tracys love for clothes is so relatable. Each piece has its own story and a persona that evolves around it - they just tell stories and bring joy❤ April, the way you work with Tracy on her home is so helpful for me too! I'm not willing to let go of most of my stuff (I did it once and regretted it later), and even though I'm quite organized already I still learn so much by watching this series😊

Untreated ADD. Don't believe things will change for Tracy. Believe the host is trying to teach a hoarder how to organize her clutter. So many duplicates of items of clothing that could be used and appreciated by those truly in need. The more you purchase to store the more room you have to purchase and fill. Saw very little donated or thrown away.

Great job! We are all individuals and too much for one person is just right for another. If we have space to safely use our rooms and enjoy the people and things in our lives then it’s okay. I hope Tracy is able to find a balance where she feels less overwhelmed however if she always needs support and help with this, that’s okay too. We don’t have to cope by ourselves. It’s okay to lean on others for support. Hugs. 😊❤🐦

I love her calm... " can do anything" demeanor. I will definitely listen to this series again when I am ready to downsize my own wardrobe... which is 3 different sizes... however, and not nearly as large nor interesting as is Tracy's!! Go April... you are rocking it regardless of the circumstance you face ! Love you!! This is so very real!!

For me, I've found I have to set the space that X will occupy and keep only that amount. I have to release something to bring something new in . Also, EVERYTHING has a space it belongs. This works for me. My point? Each of us will have to try and id the system that works for each of us based on our personalities and the constraints we're working in.

I don’t mean this to be unkind but it amazes me that someone with so many and such interesting clothes chooses to keep and wear sweatpants and a plain top with a hole under the arm. I’d be amazed if there wasn’t something more expressive but still comfortable in that huge stash.

I get how it may seem that way to you. But you have to understand that people have different types of attachments to than things others. I don't love clothes as much as Tracy but I could wear a shirt with a hole in it just because I like the way it looks/feels on my body. But it is fine that you don't feel that way of course :)

@pamelawantsmusic5 ай бұрын
They are under the bed because it’s off season storage - she will swap the summer out of the closets in the fall and the winter stuff will occupy the wardrobes and be easy to access during the cold months. The summer stuff will go under the bed until the seasons change again. April would never ask someone to store coats they want to access daily deep under their beds! 😂

I am glad Tracy realizes that happiness comes form people and experiences, not socks. I know she had fun at places where she brought back clothing items, but now she can see what she can realistically wear within a year and what can lighten her home by leaving. Well done Tracy! Hopefully you can even de-clutter in the next 12 nth, as you go thru seasonally and enjoy peace vs. crowded. Peace to you.
