Two Months of FREE HELP In This Hoarded Home!

[@kgcroes]

New to your channel, but came from Midwest Magic Cleaning and I love it! As you grow, your community will understand that you can’t be everywhere at once. It’s just basic math. I know the algorithm gods can be harsh, but hang in there because word is getting around. I will now be bingeing every video you’ve ever made. ❤

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

Aw, thank you! And I had to laugh when you talked about the algorithm Gods because I was just talking to Mack yesterday about how we should do a video of something that represents the algorithm and us bringing sacrifices to it and worshiping this algorithm God because that is what it feels like sometimes, like, "Have we displeased you in some way algorithm? How can we make it right?" 😅 Mack and I have a very similar sense of humor so it was fun to laugh about that for a minute. A word of warning if you are binging all of my videos... the first three or four I put music in and some of it was very obnoxious.🤦‍♀️ I seriously had no idea what I was doing, but that was a less than a year ago, so I have come a long way, a lot of that thanks to Mack.😊 I wish I could go back and redo those, but that's not really how this works. Anyway, thank you so much for being here and that's sweet of you that you are going to go watch my other videos.💖🙏

Oh honey, hoarder houses are so very difficult. Do what you have to do. We will love seeing you on u tube. Do not feel like a failure. You can only give to much before your empty and running on reserves. May God bless you and guide you. Hugs from Arizona.

I was encouraged to see that the owner had gone through the tower of shoes. I wish her the best and hope she can avoid eviction. Love you so much, and I relate to the KZbin struggle. You've made a huge difference in my life, and I love you. You've never disappointed me.

[@suewright984]

I have 8 pairs of shoes! Never understand having 50 or 100 pairs.

[@dianehartt1436]

It’s not because you didn’t do enough for her. It’s because she has so very much stuff. You did everything possible so be proud of what you’ve done. Please don’t give up. We love to watch you.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

Thank you, Mira. You have always been gracious and kind. I know that I didn't disappoint you with the scrapbook room. I just have a picture in my head when I go into a room and, when it doesn't turn out like that, I feel incomplete. And I know we aren't done either. Now that I have freed up some time this month because I did cancel that lady I was telling you about that was going to take so much time and energy, I can actually come up probably a couple more days this month and really get your scrapbook room in order. But I will probably give you a week or so in between coming up so that you have time to go through and Purge things as we pull them out. I think I expected too much in a short period of time and that's just not possible when there is so much for you to go through before we can really organize it. Anyway, I will be in touch! Love you, friend! ❤️

[@megwolff58]

The size of this job was incomprehensible, yet you and your team doggedly went at it day by day. You have my admiration and hope that the home owner comes to the realisation just how generous you have been. I am so sorry that this project has left you out of pocket. More subscribers and views needed!

[@vonbongen9363]

I comment on videos maybe once a year at most. Just wanted to say, I had got myself into a situation of complete cleaning paralysis due to a combination of factors- some of the same factors that people you have cleaned for struggle with as well. I hit a point of desperation earlier today and searched for ‘extreme cleaning’ and your videos came up. I watched two of them while psyching myself up to just START CLEANING. The way you talk to and about your clients, and seeing how a mess of the same sort as mine evaporates under your hands, finally made me get up and just start. I watched another one when I took a break earlier and now I’m watching more of them to wind down ready to get back at it tomorrow. My kitchen is finally clean. It has been months. I hope you choose to do whatever makes you happiest; if that doesn’t end up being cleaning videos, so be it - but I did just want to add my voice to the chorus of people telling you that you are making a difference for us just by doing what you do and sharing the process with us. A lot of the time I feel like I just have no idea where to begin because I am scared of getting it wrong, but watching you just dive in with enthusiasm and scrubbing and even admit when you wish you’d done something differently, makes me feel like ‘heck, I may as well have a go at it’. I am not exaggerating when I say that I was working with, on average, 10cm squared of available counter space. Today I finally got to remember what it was like cooking a meal in an actual kitchen rather than a chaos dump. Thankyou so much.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

Wow, I don't even know what to say. You made me feel so good. 🥹❤️🙏I have been reminded so much these last few days that my videos aren't just about the people I help, but that other people are getting some value from them and tackling their own messes. I don't feel like I articulate things very well or explain my process very well all the time, but I'm so happy to hear that you are at least gaining some perspective on things, that you aren't in this alone, and that it really starts with just moving things around and figuring out what's there and doing just a little bit each day. And it sounds like you have learned that there is no wrong way to do it. I used to get a lot of comments in the first few months of my videos that I was cleaning something wrong and it used to really bother me because it's not like I'm a trained professional. I just like to do this stuff for fun and, to me, it doesn't matter how you get there. Then other people started pointing that out as well, and I like that I can show it doesn't have to be done exactly like a professional would do it. Sometimes it's messy, but you have to do it in a way that works for YOU. Better is better no matter how you got there. 😊Anyway, thank you so much for your comment and I'm so happy to hear that you are starting to make progress with your own home. Best of luck to you!🙏🥰

[@morganbanwell4525]

This was such an incredible comment. Love to you!❤❤❤

[@doubleemeraldeyes]

Bonnie, a reply is never expected by me, so please don't feel the need to reply. If you need to charge for the cleaning jobs, but still are able to film them, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that you would still have an audience. It doesn't have to be a free clean for me to watch. Many KZbinrs have sponsors, and their subscribers don't seem to mind or unsubscribe. You're honest about who you are, and it's a big reason why we watch your videos. If you show cleaning videos where you say you also got paid for all of your hard work -- no big deal, I'd still watch them. Aurikatariina has sponsors, and I watch all of her videos. I'd watch yours too.😊 I love to organize for other people and clean whatever spaces they let me clean up. Your videos inspire me, truly. With that said, if you need to take a break from videos to earn a living, then go do just that. If we self care, we can care for others better. What do the flight training instructions always say?...put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. If you can't breathe, how can you expect to help someone else breathe? Do what you gotta do, we'll be here. Final thought: you and your mom are awesome!

[@margharitamccallum8092]

Put yourself first Bonnie. Being an empath around negativity is very draining. This house in particular has been greatly improved but really needs way more help for the person to overcome hoarding. That is not due to failure on your part.you did amazingly. I hope you will soon be feeling better and we will all see you again soon.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

I'm definitely not done with KZbin. I have moments where I wonder what in the world I'm doing, but ultimately I think I would miss it too much. I just need to focus on the good I'm doing and not spend too much time thinking about the things that I can't change, like the homeowners. Thank you for also reminding me that this helps to motivate others to clean their homes, especially getting to peek into homes like this that have gotten so unmanageable. ❤️🙏

You provide a valuable service. Taking money to clean doesn’t devalue the service or your commitment. Don’t despair!

[@neesr13]

You are much too hard on yourself. Think about how far ahead of the issue you were able to take this home, not how much more you had wanted to do. The homeowner is closer to a house that has more function than previously, and it is all because of YOU! Everyone appreciates you and is in your corner. You need to be in your own corner, because you deserve it. Good on your mom for helping you to remember how to have fun. She is a treasure!

I'm kind of feeling bad that I said anything because I don't want anyone feeling like they need to donate because I'm probably overreacting as we do have a lot of equity in our home if we really needed to use it to survive. There are a lot of people in a lot worse situations than I am. But I really do appreciate your support. I still intend to use those funds to help the homeowners, but I am very judicious about how I use it. Again, thank you!🙏🥹❤️

[@nancycosgrove4005]

Bonnie- I enjoy watching you and your mom. My 2 cents- that project was waaaaay too much especially for free. Of course you are burned out- no great reward at the end right? No sense of completion. Remember you have to put your own oxygen mask on first before you can help others. Maybe you can take some “normal” paid cleaning jobs and only take on manageable , free jobs a couple of times a month. You are so caring but do t forget to care for yourself 💕

[@jowen3627]

Excellent point. This size of this job is huge. I priced my own hoard cleanup. One of the guys on hoarders does clean ups here in NH. My hoard is maybe

You are not too bummed and down in the video! You are genuine! It's no surprise that spending so much time in a hoard is affecting you emotionally. Hoards are signals of sadness, depression, despair, illness. I swear they soak up that energy. So you're flogging through that, breaking it up. I guess, just know I am sending you waves of understanding, care and gratitude. You have given me so much through posting these videos. Take good care of yourself wherever that leads.

I felt so guilty for about 10 minutes, and then this huge weight lifted off me, and I have not felt this free since probably a year ago. So, yes, boundaries are good, and it is okay for me to say no.🤗

Over the years, I have been the recipient of many well meaning people, giving me things. I was a single mother of 4 girls after my husband passed away. People gave me clothes and things I could sell in a yard sale, which didnt always sell, and that began my collection of stuff until the next yardsale. I held on to things, thinking it would eventually sell. My sweet neighbor left her entire house and all her possessions to me when she passed away, now leaving me under so much stuff. I am gradually getting rid of things and not depending on a yardsale. Finding a home for things has been difficult but it feels really good when things go out the door. You worked so hard in this house! Keep in mind you gave all that you had to give and don't beat yourself up for doing what you've done. You did an awesome job!!!! You should be so proud that you gave your time to help. No matter what the end result was, you need to give yourself credit for all your hard work. It was not wasted time and I know she appreciated all the work that you did. This was a great video!!!!!

One of the things about Auri is that she focuses on the fun in cleaning and I think she picks houses that aren’t large and crammed to the roof. What you are doing is such a godsend, and I want you to know that you’ve done everything you could in the time you have. Maybe one of your clients will be ungrateful or just so buried in their own problems they just go right back, it’s not worth taking all that in and feeling badly.

Your childhood wasn't a lie for the pose. Your Mom was way ahead of her time! There is a scene from Grey's Anatomy that talks about a study that says a "superhero pose" provides benefits. The pose is very similar to the pose you do. From that scene it states if you stand in the superhero pose for 5 mins before a big task you will do much better and feel better going that task. I googled "superhero pose" and there's all kind of benefits! You can keep doing it.😊

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

Seriously?! I guess I was looking up the wrong thing. I was Googling specifically if it was helpful in lifting heavy things, and nothing came up specific to that. I guess that makes sense, though. And of course, if it was on Grey's Anatomy, it's got to be right... haha!😁

Bonnie, I can relate to how you’ve been feeling too and trying to stay busy focusing on things I can control if that makes sense. When I’m “down” and that’s been a lot as I care for my 86 year old mom with Alzheimer’s 24/7, am disabled myself and can be physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting most days. Late at night when the world is asleep, I clean, organize, declutter, etc. I know it sounds stupid but at least I feel like I’m accomplishing something, something else to focus on and it does help to have a fresh perspective.You’ve done an amazing job with your mom and the homeowner❤.

Watch vids like yours as struggle with clutter & cleaning due to mobility & serious autoimmune. It helps my motivation & gives me ideas best way to try with my own home. Xx

I'm so glad! I wish you the very best!🥰

Your mom is the cutest. Your take away... the memories made in sharing this service opportunity together. A lot of wins here, actually.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

I absolutely agree. Besides the time I got to spend with my mom, I've also learned a lot of other lessons along the way. Now that I have had a couple of days to process things, I'm feeling grateful for this experience and the things that it has taught me.😊

How about your own cleaning company? You can definitely do that right? Also, you have to remember to cleanse your energy. Empaths especially have to. Go to the beach get in the water, walk barefoot in nature, that’s called grounding, meditate, do positive affirmations. Salt baths. Get protection crystals. And just pray. 🙏

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

I initially thought about starting a cleaning company, but that's a whole different kind of stress and a lot of training and hoops to jump through to get licenses, etc. I think if I can just do two or three paid jobs each month until things pick back up with KZbin, we should be okay. Plus, I forget that we do have the option of taking out equity on our home if we really needed to. It's just a little rough patch, but I do need to take some time for myself.😊🙏

[@erinmaclean5064]

Ask if you can film those paid jobs. You never know, they may agree. Many youtubers film themselves cleaning everyday messes in "normal" houses. I also think this video will pay off in the future, once folks have given up their exercise and their other resolutions lol​@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp

[@andreav2655]

@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wpplease please do not take the equity out of your home. Talk to a financial advisor… heck call Dave Ramsey and ask him a financial advice question for free. Idk just an idea.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

Don't worry. Besides taking money from our 401K, that would be the very last thing we would do because we are pretty frugal and aren't afraid of finding unconventional ways to get by, but it is a nice thought to know that, if things were absolutely turned upside down, we do have that as one option. I doubt we would ever get to that point, though.

Thanks! You have helped me enormously with starting a slow organization of my sewing room. Learning to let go and purge is a beautiful thing and everything was donated to Teen Challenge.

[@BarriArias]

I love your relationship with your mother. You’re a very sweet person and I hope you figure out what kind of job you want and whether to keep cleaning on KZbin. May God give you direction and peace with a decision. God bless you for helping so many people, it’s good that you’re realizing that you need to take care of yourself too.

[@Ms._Purple_Apple]

It’s so nice to see you and your Mom together, enjoy every moment. Sorry you’re feeling down, I can relate. It’s amazing that you can pick yourself up and continue to help others. Yes, be careful with yourself and rest to refuel. 👍💞⭐️

You are the best creator I wait each weekend to watch your video I don’t want to see you leave I don’t understand why people aren’t watching your the sweetest person you work so hard just know you are loved

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

I appreciate that! I'm sure it will pick back up. I just didn't know it would drop as much as it did for so many months in a row. One or two bad months I can handle, but I thought surely things would pick up by now and not continue to keep dropping every month. It's fine. There are definitely worse things I could be dealing with. Thanks for your sweet words!💕

[@MSHoneybee210]

No one does a carpet shuffle like you!

[@4455thor]

Bonnie, you're a hard worker, but not necessarily a miracle worker. Sometimes yes, you DO do miracles, but you're just ONE person. But I know how you feel, been there myself.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

Thank you, Helle. Yes, I do know you understand. And, you're right, I can't change anyone. All I can do is provide a service.

[@4455thor]

@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp no, you're no changing anyone, but you help others change their circumstances to the better. As I told Mira at her latest video, I have tons of papers from genealogy, tons of yarn, because I can't necessarily find a certain color and then I go out and buy some more, because I need it. (Bummer). But Mira is helping me, cutting my tasks in smaller bits, and I accept, that I can't do what I once could. Her craft room is a bigger task, than any of you thought. I found a number of boxes with paper, knitting, cooking recipes etc. I don't NEED them, but I can't let go, so I scan them. It goes REALLY fast and the renovation workers refused to empty our waste paper, LOL. So I throw out a LOT. (My husband take the paper to the dump, they don't complain). And I feel SO great getting it done. But am I finished? Far from, but I'm getting there. (And the dump has a container for paper and other paper products).

@@ShellyCline I have read other KZbinrs talk about how amazing their community is/are. This is the first time I'm on the receiving end, but it's also the first time I've opened up about my situation. So thank you is not adequate to describe my gratitude. I sure didn't expect support.

Helping clean for hoarders is very challenging. It's no wonder you're feeling a bit discouraged. Thanks for honestly sharing your struggles. You're a blessing to the people you clean for, and to the viewers watching your videos.

[@chatnoir7923]

Don't feel bad about Mira. She's doing well keeping up and you might want more but I'm sure it was enough❤

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

Well, I actually canceled my next free cleaning client who I had scheduled all of April to help, but knew that I did not have that in me and she definitely would have been an energy drain. I felt kind of bad doing that, but also a lot more free. So, I have already scheduled a day next week to go work one more day on Mira's craft room. I'm excited to be able to get it more to the point I wanted to. 😊

[@chatnoir7923]

@@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp sounds like a good move.

[@frealafgb]

You achieved so much with this house! I really enjoyed watching all the videos in this set. I'm sorry things haven't been as good with the channel lately. Hopefully with some paid clients too, everything will work out for the best. You can't help people if you can't easily afford all the supplies and fuel and associated costs, which as you showed is a lot!! so it makes sense to focus on your own finances for a while. ❤

[@Zombie-adventures]

I appreciate your work, Bonnie! My favorite things are your cleaning dirty kitchens, and ovens, I enjoy your helping Mira too. It may work better for you to have the owners step away while you clean; maybe giving clear directions and limits then letting you go. I cannot handle a lot of discussion when time is so precious; but I know you do the very best!! You know what? Try having a prayer with Mama before going inside daily, for mental protection. It does help. ❤️

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

Thank you so much for your feedback. It really does help a lot!

Tell your mom I think she’s hilarious. She made me laugh so hard. And then you joined in and hit the floor. I about hit the floor laughing so hard. You two made my day. From now on you need your mom to clean with you just so you two can take mini breaks doing silly stuff. Laughter makes a merry heart.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

Yeah, I would love to have her along for every cleaning that I do. But I also have to remember that she's 72 and I don't want to have her overdo it. I'm sure this won't be the last cleaning we do together, though.😊

[@ashcraft555]

I was planning to comment this sometime soon anyway but this seems like the right place for it. In a conversation in the comments on a video a few months ago, you mentioned LDN. I talked to my doctor about it and started in late December. It has been life changing. It's been 25 years since I had this much energy and this little pain. Thank you for sharing yourself with us in so many ways - you've changed a lot of lives with this work.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

I am so happy to hear that! I had forgotten who I mentioned that to. I think there was you and one other person who mentioned that they had chronic pain. I'm so glad to get an update and to hear that it's working for you! I have tried for almost a year to get my friend, Tisha, to go on it, but I think she has some reservations as does her doctor just because it's not a widely studied thing. But it's completely safe and has had a lot of research done about it, so I'm not sure what the holdup is. I have told her it has been life-changing for me as well. In fact, I forgot to get a refill last month and so I've just been stretching out what I have and ran out about 3 days ago and I can tell. It mostly helps with my joint pain. I have back pain that is a separate issue and it does help with that, but not the same extent as all of my joints. Anyway, I'm so glad it has worked for you and thanks for the update!🤗💖

[@ElaineAdair2024]

Thank you for being you. I suffer from mental illness as well and when you share on your videos I feel less alone…less defective. I’m ashamed of having to take the meds I do and certainly don’t talk to others about it. I don’t have much money to give you but would like to help you in some way. I’m in South Carolina so it would need to be remote and very behind the scenes. I’m sure you got what you need but wanted to offer. Please continue to do what you do because it does matter, it inspires those laying in bed crying their eyes out to see you work though it and also admit when you struggle. God bless you and your amazing mother! ❤

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

I really, really appreciate that, elaine. My channel has since picked up a lot recently and I am in a much better place mentally as well. So I am doing just fine. I also have a couple of really big things coming up that I think are going to really boost the growth of my channel, so I'm excited about that. I'm so thankful for your kind heart and your support.💗💗💗

So sorry you’re going through a rough patch Bonnie. I love your videos, your honesty, your generosity and your kindness are second to none. You and your Mom are just wonderful.

[@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp]

I'm sorry to hear that about your mom. My mom and I actually haven't always been that close, but that's probably more to do with some issues I have with my dad.
