I moved out of my apartment during the quarantine in LA, after being sexually assaulted by my landlord in my home. Returning to the area and going to my storage unit after a year and a half included a bit of overwhelm to tackle everything - and also some added and complex emotions. I am SO thankful Carla was was there when I pulled up to my storage unit. She really broke things down in a way that allowed me to feel organized, productive and move forward. And as always, we laughed a ton and she made the process fun. So thankful to Carla, and was honored to be a part of The Carla Project, whose episodes always put a smile on my face : )
So glad I got to be there with you that day! Thanks for being so transparent and such a good willing participant. Will be there when you come back to finish!💕💕
We moved eight times in 10 years. Paying to ship things really helps to clear out. Having lived in a studio apartment in between large houses. Also helps you realize how much you don’t need. And having a hurricane reach your storage in between moves and destroy have your stuff also helps you realize how much you don’t need.
You experienced a hurricane wiping out your stuff in storage?! Oh no! But appreciate your positive perspective on weeding out and the unexpected challenges that occurred with your things / homes.
Always so interesting to see the reaction people have seeing their stuff after time has passed. She really forgot what was in the storage unit and going down memory lane brings up lots of emotions. Obviously, when you get down to it, she wasn't going to ship most of it and decided to depart with it. Thank you for being such a good friend to help her along with that. So glad to see that most was donated or given away, but having paid for storage for a year and a half is the real kicker to me. Best wishes to her on her next chapter in life!
I had always intended on coming back to the LA area… but it took way longer than expected for that time to be right. Nonetheless, happy to say I just recently returned to get my things out of storage and create a new home in the LA area : ) I have started posting episodes of my cross country road trip / move on my channel, and stay tuned on Carla’s channel to see her helping me organize my new place ☺️
I love that!!! Thank you for watching : ) I just released an episode on my channel of me packing up those same boots and other things in NC, to head back to CA! Took me way longer than expected, before the time was right. Anyways, Carla helped me organize a bit when I got back to the LA area, so you’ll see her helping me once again on her channel soon ☺️👍👍
Tell your friend she did so good. I understand the feelings.I donated so much stuff and I can't remember 99% of the things I've donated. My boxes were the sizes of small deep freezers. I'm still not finished. 🤷🏿♀️
I loved it! It would be very satisfying to get a part 2 and see you help your friend finish the decluttering, and see what is left in the unit at the end.
You can see her helping me organize my new place in the LA very soon ☺️ Happy to say I made it back to CA and unearthed my things from storage! Finally!
PLEASE be my friend and come declutter with me! This was a fun one!!! You both got rid of so much together! Also cool that your friend was in the Old Town Road music video!!
I’m walking in to close the bill on my storage unit. I’ve had it for four years. Thanks for making the videos. I feel guilty. I feel weird I’m like I don’t know what to do. I’m like should I keep it if I need it again the storage units are more expensive now all this, so thank you for being here because I’m by myself it’s Mother’s Day I’m gonna do it
My next chapter just started ☺️👍👍 You’ll see me packing up and heading across the country on my channel… and pretty soon you’ll see Carla helping me organize my new place back in CA - hooray!
I love that your friends are open to your help decluttering! Storage units are quick to accumulate junk too and often forgot about. If I had one I’d have to revisit frequently 🙂 nice job as always! 🙌🏼
Friends are great when it comes to declutter unlike family. Family tend to be more emotionally charged and can get tense whereas Friends have a healthy distance from the clutter
I needed a friend like this to help me make decisions when I finally decluttered my storage unit and moved to another city. I put things on marketplace for free and the last few boxes got taken by a garbage removal company. Cost money to get rid of it, but no longer paying for storage, so it was a win.
Great job Ladies! Storage spaces tend to be hard work if it's not something you check on or declutter every couple of months. I've watched a lot of those shows where the items in container units are auctioned off. Lots of things are just not worth storing. All the best to your friend!
Motivation plus! So interesting to see how much was decluttered when your friend had strict "would you pay to ship this?" criteria. Would've loved an "after" pic even if it wasn't complete. Another great video - thank you!
I just got everything out of storage and loaded into a van myself, and then moved into my new place 🤗 I’ve just started posting to my channel, my road trip across the country to move back to CA. And you’ll see Carla post soon when she helped me organize my new place. Lots to update you all on ☺️
Such a helpful video! Loved that you were there supporting her decisions and helping clear space! Decluttering with friends is definitely so much easier. Especially a storage unit where random items can pile up. Love your channel!
i met lisa through her mom debra who i met in an online course i signed up for. try online courses and classes and workshops for anything you're interested in. lots of people out there looking for community and friends!
I feel hopeful that I can do the garage now.My goal is to pack the car until full and repeat again and again. Thank you beautiful ladies for showing us behind the scenes of your friendship and process.
: ) Thank you, Alli. And man am I thankful for Carla - I crack up whenever I'm with her, and she's been a super supportive friend professionally, in life and relationships... and now, decluttering!
Really enjoy watching you help your friends! I definitely have a box of “files” I need to let go of 🙈 it blows my mind that of all the things I’ve gotten rid of that box of meaningless paper is one of the few things that has been a hang up in my decluttering process
I’m just closing my storage unit after four years got rid of a ton of stuff. I have like my great aunts Scrabble game that they used to play on and I feel guilty because I’m pretty sure I have to get rid of it but I’m 58 so it’s just time.❤
'Jim from The Office' look at the camera. Can be good to lay out all the keepers at the end and reassess them. Some things will look obviously goofy to keep.
This video has given me a new question to ask…”is it worth shipping?” If I were moving, would I ship these things I haven’t looked at in over a year? If they wouldn’t be worth shipping they aren’t worth storing either.
I so understand this. Moved from a four bedroom house into many apartments and my last move was into a “casita” which is really only a bedroom with a bathroom. Had to make a makeshift kitchen and even then the landlord said I had too much. Finally into a pretty large studio apartment. So now going weekly into my storage and decluttering …. ALMOST done, separating kids stuff/pictures and giving it to them. this is all from 15 years of “what’s up with my life” and I wish I had a friend like you Carla to help.
You’re an awesome friend to help her declutter. Sometimes you really do need a friend to let you know when it’s time to move on from an item and let it go. Great job!👏
I think a key way to approach storage units, specifically, is; am I paying more to save this stuff then it's actually worth monetarily? Let's say the unit is 100$ per month which is 1,200 per year... are the contents worth that?
There's no such thing like those storage-units in Germany. Here it's whether you have a garage/basement or not. As far as I know, the only place to rent for keeping things, is a safe-deposit-box. 😅
Didn't know that.. I suppose one way or another, we all have closets, garages etc. where we keep accumulating stuff, or store things for a move. Appreciate the perspective regarding storage in Germany : )
I just went to my storage unit last weekend and I had forgotten everything that was in there. I had this idea that I would just be able to clear it out in 2 trips. I paid for another month.
Loved this one!! Storage units, basement and attics are such a worm hole for clutter it's CRAAAAZY😅When your friend found the folders I was such a dejavu... I kept all of the school books and any additional education papers and all for sooo long🤦🏼♀️And I wasn't even working in the same field anymore for years 😂Do you have a storage unit Carla?
They are total wormholes!! I don;t have one (thankfully!) but growing up my parents had storage units and I have no idea what ever happened to that stuff haha guess we didn't need them afterall!
I totally get creepy vibes from storage units because of the show YOU lol. The new season is out Oct 15 on Netflix I believe! "Just the essentials" uh huh yeah ok your friend is awesome! That organizer that she said is not sparking Joy is what all of my husbands clothes are currently in! Same one. hahaha. Btw, I finally my friends if I could do a decluttering video and I got one taker lol and their parents want some help too. These decluttering with friends videos are soooo inspiring! I just love them!
whatttt there;s a new season coming???!!! ahhhhhhhhh! perfect time of year to watch scary yet handsome stalker guy lol Also that is hilarious about the joyless spark organizer 😂 Can't wait to see you do a declutter with friends episode!
Carla,I think you should have put all of the donations into your car to insure delivery!😂🤣😅 ( kinda weird that insure and ensure mean the same thing!)😵💫
Hey C, can you come to Brooklyn NYC and body double with me. I can see how much it helps to have another non judgemental person to help make decisions.
Seriously, I understand that it can be overwhelming, however, storage units are costly. She has been paying for this unit for 1.5 or more yrs for things she hasn't looked at/missed. Short term storage is fine but that is alot of $$ wasted! If it's important take it home and end payments!!
she doesn't have her own home though. She is living with family so she still has things of her own that she has collected over the 40 plus years on the planet that she wants to keep. i think it is the best solution for all things considered, albeit not ideal due to cost.

Omg 😩💔 Hope you are doing well now!!!!
@@katia.luna213 Thanks so much, Katie. Still working on closure, but doing a lot better and being proactive with therapy. Wishing you well, too!
I loved that you helped her when she got stuck. It’s hard to declutter when you start to over think each item. You’re an awesome friend!
It gets so hard when it's your own stuff!!❤️😊

Thanks so much for your supportive comment!
When she said she was in the Old Town Road video, I was like, "Nuh uh!" Hadda go see for myself. Very cool!
I loved it! It would be very satisfying to get a part 2 and see you help your friend finish the decluttering, and see what is left in the unit at the end.
that was the original idea!! she had to fly back to north carolina...but I think we will do a part two when she's ready to move!
You can see her helping me organize my new place in the LA very soon ☺️ Happy to say I made it back to CA and unearthed my things from storage! Finally!

Yea they are like super giant handbags where you just throw a bunch of stuff in and forget all about it 😂
@@TheCarlaProject lol yes!!!
Friends are great when it comes to declutter unlike family. Family tend to be more emotionally charged and can get tense whereas Friends have a healthy distance from the clutter
oh family will start a fight lol 😂
Immediately goes and watches old town road film clip 😄

Such a helpful video! Loved that you were there supporting her decisions and helping clear space! Decluttering with friends is definitely so much easier. Especially a storage unit where random items can pile up. Love your channel!
who is this beautiful woman leaving me a comment ...what!!! THANK YOU MY GORGEOUS FRIEND!!!💕💕💕
Definitely appreciate Carla !
You have so many amazing friends. How do you know all these people? I am in my 50's now and trying to find just one genuine friend.
i met lisa through her mom debra who i met in an online course i signed up for. try online courses and classes and workshops for anything you're interested in. lots of people out there looking for community and friends!
Try offering to help casual and work acquaintances declutter (joking not joking) they will love you and you will get to know them better!🤔
I feel hopeful that I can do the garage now.My goal is to pack the car until full and repeat again and again. Thank you beautiful ladies for showing us behind the scenes of your friendship and process.
Aaaw Bless your friend. She's as sweet as you! Prayers for her traveling journey 🤗🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞
You are so kind!! Thx Alli!❤️😊
: ) Thank you, Alli. And man am I thankful for Carla - I crack up whenever I'm with her, and she's been a super supportive friend professionally, in life and relationships... and now, decluttering!
@@LisaKEntertainment 🤗💞💞💞
Regardless of what it is, what room it came from, how long I've had it....my mantra is "When in doubt, throw it out."
Really enjoy watching you help your friends! I definitely have a box of “files” I need to let go of 🙈 it blows my mind that of all the things I’ve gotten rid of that box of meaningless paper is one of the few things that has been a hang up in my decluttering process
i get it!! i had fancy business cards that took me forever to let go of!!
Wow you know how to pack a car! Good job!
God bless you and your sister. She is a very wonderful person. I am proud of her to let go of the clutter. Well done ladies❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

I just watched this again, and I admire Lisa so much. You both did a bunch in a short time. I'm excited about Lisa's bright future. ❤
My gosh. I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you : )

Thank you so much for what you wrote ☺️
"you" popped in my head when I saw you guys walking in the storage unit lol i love that show
😂
That is so cool that your friend was in the Old Town Road music video!
Awesome job, you always look so pretty but today you look extra pretty.. I am sure your friend is saying why did I not do this earlier
Hello from Scotland! I loved this video and wish I had a friend like you who could help me to declutter 💕
When I make my way back to Scotland I’ll help you ☺️
You’re an awesome friend to help her declutter. Sometimes you really do need a friend to let you know when it’s time to move on from an item and let it go. Great job!👏

Since Lisa is moving, I'll gladly become your friend. 😉😊
deal!! 😍💕
Loved it! But I want to see the end result now 😁
I know haha wish we could've done it all that day!!❤️😊
My storage unit still has a bunch in it, but it is way more organized, and I feel cleansed and ready for the next chapter.
My first time to watch a declutter video like this. I loved it. Keep good work 👍🏻💕
Thanks for watching!
Like! I really need a friend like you by my side! 💪😄😀👍

There's no such thing like those storage-units in Germany.
Here it's whether you have a garage/basement or not.
As far as I know, the only place to rent for keeping things, is a safe-deposit-box.

Doch gibt’s! 😉
@@Tinamar65 Echt? Aber nur in Großstädten, oder? ..Ich kenn so "Reihenhütten" nur als Garagen..
Und was kostet sowas in etwa, pro Jahr?
@@FrogeniusW.G. hängt von der Größe ab, ist sicher auch überall unterschiedlich. Die Suchmaschine deiner Wahl gibt dir sicher Auskunft ;)

i believe it! deceptively small but SO MUCH STUFF!!
Was any of it truly worth what she paid in rent? Always good to calculate the expense involved versus true worth.
TYFS

💯🙂
There’s a list online that gives prices for donation items.
She is like a Marisa Tomei look alike.
Did you guys go back and finish or was she keeping the rest? Great work!
When she’s back in town and ready to move we will do the rest :)
No after shots?
Did I hear correctly?!?! Your friend’s 40? Wow, she looks 20!
👍💕
❤️❤️
Carla please legend português 🇧🇷🇧🇷😍🇧🇷
Seriously, I understand that it can be overwhelming, however, storage units are costly. She has been paying for this unit for 1.5 or more yrs for things she hasn't looked at/missed. Short term storage is fine but that is alot of $$ wasted! If it's important take it home and end payments!!
she doesn't have her own home though. She is living with family so she still has things of her own that she has collected over the 40 plus years on the planet that she wants to keep. i think it is the best solution for all things considered, albeit not ideal due to cost.
Animal rescyes will always take old towels.
Storage units are a huge waste of money! Sell give away or donate. You can buy a newer one if you ever absolutely need one.
$$$ down the drain.
Sorry Carla this was the most boring..video I have seen so far... surely NOT your fault...Keep going Stella
Like! I really need a friend like you by my side! 💪😄😀👍
