Do you want to see more of Lauren's journey?! I would love to help her make her dream of opening a store a reality. Let me know if you would like to see a video of Lauren organizing, decorating and opening up her very own store!!
Yes!!!!
Totally! ❤
Yes! ❤❤❤
Yes, please!!!
I absolutely would love to see a follow up video
❤❤❤❤
My dream became a reality! THANK YOU, Cas, Emily, and all the amazing subscribers for the SUPPORT!
Lauren, how many weeks from start to finish?
Lauren, you did an amazing job! It seemed like such a daunting project but you did it and did it well. I hope Cas has you back on the channel.
Hope there's more follow up that we get to witness! This one has inspired me to get into the room over my garage that is supposed to be my work/creative space as well as some storage, but has simply become a dumping ground (and looks a lot like your garage with piles up to my eyeballs)!
Great job!!
You did an AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌💪💪💪💪 It looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I love all the random kitties and chickens visiting Lauren the whole time she decluttered 😅
me too!
I was just up to watching Day 1 and immediately saw the Cat Supervisor on deck! 😆 Love it. Never lonely decluttering with a feline overlord.
Please do more videos like this. No one and everything is perfect!!
There needs to be a service called Rent A Friend or something. If I had a van I could live out of, I'd volunteer to help for a few weeks or something. Projects like this I feel are far less daunting and go by quicker if you have someone helping who literally has nothing else to do. Someone like me who's not married yet or has kids would be perfect for the job. 🎉
It would also be great for someone dealing with empty nest syndrome
That sounds so fun!
It would also be easier to take help from someone you're not close to already, because sometimes it feels like well meaning friends are kind of shocked at the nitty gritty mess and might be judging you even when they say they want to help.
@katia.luna213 I've been living as a minimalist, or a minimalist in training for a few years. And I wish I could help everyone declutter. The freedom is amazing!
I would absolutely book this service. I wouldn't even need you to do anything, but just hanging out, chatting and encouraging would be so helpful.
"I want you to embrace good enough", that sentence really got to me. I keep seeing the imperfections and obsessing over them and that stops me from moving on. That was an amazing transformation!
Hey!
Cas has a podcast episode about that. It's something with "GETMO (good enough to move on)" - hope you find it and it helps you 😊
Perfectionism has always been a huge issue for me as well, and I also have ADHD, with a huge tendency toward perfectionism. All the overthinking and over analyzing leads to procrastination, which in turn leads to feelings of not being very good at things. Viscious cycle & hard to break.
@@Nelia2705YES! 🎉🎉🎉
I’ve never clicked so fast, I love decluttering videos, especially because it gets me motivated to declutter myself. I would love to see Lauren setting up her store
My mother passed away in 2018, father in 2022. I spent all of 2023 clearing and cleaning out their house. Might say with some help from my brother. Nothing from the sister and major help from a dear friend and her husband. It was overwhelming to the point of freezing. I found the sentimental aspect polarising. There was 5 decades of 'stuff' plus a lot of my grandparents treasures and ... get this ... items from 1955 to 1970 stored as I can't let go of stuff. The EMT's called social services just as father was in his passing stages (dementia and cancer) as unsafe. He was in hospital and then end stage care, never returned home. I implemented Cassie's strategies to get it done. My brother is autistic and couldn't cope. He pushed through what he could and did his best. watching this brought it all back. I am so proud of what Lauren has done for herself and her family. Brought me to happy tears. From the other end of the world in Tasmania..... HIGH FIVE and mega HUGS.
that is rough to lose family so close together... glad you got some help w that.
its why its so important that before you get too far gone to downsize things.. give things you want your family to have before that... or min have notes on things.
our oma never admitted she had Alzheimer's but we suspected it. she gave her stuff when she moved in w her new husband.. so we had good memories w her stuff rather then trying to deal w it w the new husband.. who was abusive.
we have been downsizing for yrs... and when we moved... did it more via minimalism.
I’m going thru this exact thing now. My mom passed this April. They’d lived 30 years in same home and mom was a hoarder. Been going through over 50 years of stuff she’d hoarded including all papers and 7 storage units. Been a year now finally about to sell house. But now I’ve got the stuff I’ve brought to our house to deal with. So much old and emotional stuff!!
How did you decide what to keep of old family’s items and how are you storing/archiving it?
@@jenscouponacct5048 I heart you, seriously the most difficult thing I have ever done. I always knew my Mum was a sentimental hoarder. As she got older she became a full fledged every reason hoarder. Dad wasn't much bettter. The paperwork was crazy. I sold at a market thousands of cat ornaments. We had to clear out the house to put it on the market. They had a reverse mortgage. We had 5 months to sell the house to pay that off. Really it was asking the question does any family member want the item, does it add value to my life if I keep it. My brother just wanted to walk away or hire someone to throw everything out. I felt out of respect for someone who had a need to make it available. We did the classic donate pile, the throw out went straight out in boxes and bags ready to take to the refuse centre. One room at a time and cleaned our hearts out. The best thing you can do if you want to keep something is ask yourself if it has room in your home and if you do how will you honour that. We donate a lot or sold items for a low value to get it to someone who wanted it. I still have a quarter of my garage filled with items that I can now move on. Most of it belonged to my grandparents. It has taken all of this year to recover from last year. I wish you an ease filled process.
@@minimaladjacent I have always been a minimalist ...with a teeny bit of time with too much stuff. However, dealing with my parents clutter and horrific waste. Threw out the equivalant of $7000 of vitamins that were autoshipped. The process has left me with this, I do not want my children to go through what I did clearing out their possessions and closing down their lives. Not on my watch. That said I still have a bit of work to do to clear out mine, my grandparents and parents items 20 boxes to fit into my tiny home. I can feel the relief and peace coming. btw my father was the abusive one, was very hard to revist it all.
"Don't look at the mountain. Look down at your feet and take one step at a time." There's my Post-It Note Quotable for the day! What a TRANSFORMATION! Having ADHD adds a layer of having to overcome years of self-doubt and judgement for "not finishing" etc. All Lauren needed was to be shown how by someone who understands and has experience with the same kind of organization problems. Cas, you have Show How! 🙂
Yes I would love to see Lauren’s store become a reality. ❤
This reminds me of my dad’s shed. It was so full of 50+ years of crap you could t get in. I have fibromyalgia and ADD. So scattered with no energy. I found a “junker” man. Bartered his services. He pulled everything out of the shed & I told him “keep or take”. It took him 3 days and he was able to haul away so much stuff to resell or sell for scrap. He did all of the work and we did t have to payout any labor. Win win for both of us.
I am SO HAPPY for Lauren! I grew up in a house that had up-to-your-eyeballs piles in every room and most of the backyard, with one thin path through the room that you had to be careful not to bump your arm or hip on, or it would all come down on you. When I moved out, my mother kept shuttling more and more to my house and kept buying more and more for her full house. I had to work through so much guilt of letting stuff go, and while I've let go two garages full of stuff, a storage unit of stuff, and recently, two hauls of 20-30 boxes each... I feel like I'm finally reaching the point where I need to do one more big declutter (with a lot of emotional stuff that I've been holding off on going through, and GOOD GOD, 3000+ BOOKS), and I'll finally enter maintenance mode. I am so proud of myself, I'm healing, and I feel like I'm reaching a point where anxious, ADHD me can breathe a little easier. So I can totally understand the relief that was EMANATING from Lauren in this video, more and more with each declutter check-in! Also, her dream is AWESOME, and I also want to have a little building to have a home business of all-things-fall: homegrown pumpkins and apples, homemade apple pies/donuts/pumpkin donuts, cider, music, and poetry. Someday! And all of our decluttering is getting Lauren and me closer to those dreams! AMAZING work, Lauren and Cas! And a P.S. for Cas, that turtle is okay, and where we live, we also have to watch out for wildlife, but the wildlife is predominantly an overpopulation of very sweet, very trusting, should-be-a-lot-more-afraid-of-cars-than-they-are cats. lol. See you next time!
I have been where you are with all that stuff. I wish you peace of mind and the energy to achieve all of your goals. Cheers :)
I would like to nominate Mckenziely for the next coaching session.
Well done! Your comment on guilt reminded me of something that Jon Delony, author and Ramsey Solutions personality says…”Choose guilt over resentment.” Better to feel guilty over decluttering some items that your mom gave you rather than resenting your mom.
Blessings to you! 💕
I would like to nominate Mackenziely to coach me. Help please!
That sounds like SUCH a lot to tackle! Amazing work getting through as much as you have, and I’m sending you even more strength to get through the rest! I was just thinking about how a number of online book sellers will buy huge lots of books - if you need to offload a massive amount, that may be an avenue to look at! (Or siphoning them off a little at a time to free little libraries, or something? Obviously I’ve got no idea what kinds of books you’re looking at, but it was just a passing thought that may or may not be beneficial to you! Again, wishing you all the very best!
Trading one thing you don’t want for something that you do want is a brilliant phrase to use! So is the 20 second countdown for decision making!
Lauren, congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself, not only for your spectacular decluttering achievement, but for demonstrating that even with ADHD, you can do anything you put your mind and effort to.
I would love to see Lauren’s house or shop come next. Whatever she needs first. I would think finishing the house would be a priority but maybe it needs a lot of work (plumbing, electrical, structural) that needs lots of money and availability of trades. The shop may be easier if it is structural sound and has electrical. She has done an amazing job and really took your advice to heart. I loved watching this transformation and her confidence blossomed.
Yes, I'd love to watch more of Lauren. I also enjoyed what you said about not looking at the mountain and doing it all one step at a time. THANK YOU!!!
Lauren should be so proud of herself! She IS a finisher, this was a huge undertaking and she did it! There is nothing she can’t do, after such an accomplishment. Bravo Lauren and thanks for your generosity in coaching her Cas!
It would be wonderful to continue with Lauren’s progress. This is so interesting.
I love the idea of "trading" something for something else, rather than "getting rid of it. It is much less painful.
This is why I’m subscribed to this channel.
Yep! Me, too.
Cass, I like your straight-shooting, no nonsense approach to helping people declutter. That honesty and no coddling directness is exactly what gets results!
Lauren did AMAZING. This seems like SUCH a good concept, having a body double to help you out.
Would LOVE doing this as well.
I love this format so much. Being able to watch someone in real time go through the mental processes and learn how to declutter more intuitively is so helpful and validating as someone who also overthinks when decluttering my space
I LOVE this video!!! "Look at your feet, not the mountain"- so good. Go Lauren!🎉 Cas is such a good coach! Way to encourage all of us to go and accomplish our dreams❤
I am over the moon happy for Lauren and all the work she did.
I loved the time lapse you did. Showing us a week at a time gave me a bunch of encouragement. It is so true you get overwhelmed looking at all your stuff that it paralyzes you. Seen it broken down by the week gives all sorts of hope.!!! Thank you Cas!
Now onto the rooms that I have been procrastinating on. One of them includes my daughters room who passed away. The emotional feelings, being stuck - it paralyzes me. It’s the hardest.
Cass, I hope you've gone to the dermatologist/plastic surgeon about the skin cancer on your nose by now. I was just watching a video from 2 months ago with you discussing it. I don't want it to get bigger & become more of a threat to you! You're an absolute gem, I wish you the best!
She did, she talked recently about having gone
@@lgraps Thanks for letting me know! I was worried because my aunt waited and it was way worse and she had a large chunk of her thigh removed as a result.
Lauren’s Garage transformation was amazing! Well Done Lauren!
This concept of “intuitive decluttering” feels like my next hyperfixation. 🥰
I do not have ADHD and I'm still not a finisher so I just feel lazy. Sometimes I'm not even a starter. I only have two places to declutter and organize (garage and office/craft room) so it should be easy. I also know I don't want to leave those places for my kids because it's time to think about that since I'm 77. Cas, I love these kinds of videos from you. I must be more of a doer. My garage is not as cluttered as Lauren's, but if she can do that I can certainly dig my heels in. Thank you Lauren and Cas.
I LOVE your videos because I walk away feeling inspired instead of hopeful-but-fearing-the-self-shame when life happens and I can’t follow the steps put out for a brain that doesn’t function like mine. When I watch your videos I feel like I’ve been in a foreign country and suddenly hear someone speaking my native language, and it just makes me happy and inspired to actually get something done and be able to prove to all the people who told me I was just scatterbrained and never finished anything that there isn’t something wrong with me- it’s not just a lack of self-discipline - they just didn’t speak/understand my language.
You do❤
Cass and Lauren, amazing job on the garage. The before and after pics blew me away. Congrats on your hard work!
Cas, I love the part when Lauren was talking about keeping a plate because of the memories and when she decided not to keep it. You talked about how when we associate items with memories. Because we have memories with that item, the memory convinces us into keeping the item. It something I constantly struggle with when it comes to decluttering. You should make a video on sentimental item decluttering.
She did an awesome job with a little coaching
She did great!
I just turned on Red Hot Chill Peppers “Give It Away”…get it⁉️😆 It’s a rockin’ decluttering jam😎
Yes please help Lauren more!! I love it!!!!! And yes taking pictures has helped me and my kids so much too because we can see where we started!
ADHDer over here as well- 'whenever we are doing something that sucks, we have to do something that is fun"- currently watching this while I'm binding books for work!
She did a phenomenal job and it would be wonderful to see her dream of opening a store become reality in future videos. Well done!
It was amazing to see Lauren tackle this big space all by herself ! Congratulations !
I’d love to see more videos about her journey! Amazing progress!!
This is amazing, great decluttering and yes, please more videos like this!!!
Lauren did such an amazing job! I can not imagine how her shop is going to turn out. Really hope we get the chance to be a part of her journey .🙂
Wow! She did AMAZING! She will whip the store up in no time, now she can move mountains.
Cass - you are my fun go-to when I have a tedious chore to complete. 🥰 So happy for Lauren - she did a tremendous job! Something about this episode spoke to me on a deeper level due to having moved house/ADHD, and like Lauren I am also a dreamer (and collector, lol.) I appreciate that you are very much "like us" and have such wonderful insight to help us tackle what feels insurmountable. Lots of great tips I am going to implement during my own decluttering journey.
Also, just a gentle FYI for anyone who may encounter a turtle on a roadway. You can help them by moving them in the direction they are traveling to. They are steadfast in getting to their destination and will ultimately attempt to make their way across the road again...which must feel like an eternity for a turtle.😅
☮️💜
Adorable kitty HAS TO BE A KEEP!!!! LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
Omg!!! There are two!!!! I didn't see the other little guy hiding in the back until she picked him up!!! 😊😊😅😅😅😊
Yes we all want to be here for Lauren🎉 This is the story we need right now! I’m committing to body double with these videos to rehab my own mess of garage I want to take back. ❤ I’m here for it!!
I love how Lauren transformed her garage for her husband and family! She did a fantastic job along side of Cass. I hope we can see the shop transformation too!!
Gotta pause....i love this concept of a "doom box"! What a great way to help me not spend too much time on the boxes of crap that we dont use or need!
Lauren did amazing. That was a massive amount to declutter and organize. I'd love to see more from Lauren.
I grew up in the coastal plains Texas boonies, and my favorite travel delay was the frequent covies of bobwhite quail crossing the road. Momma-quail would be in the lead with her fully fledged micro-mini carbon copy chickletts following single file. It was one of the most delightful reasons to pause, regardless of how much of a hurry we might have been in to get into town. Watching Attwater's Prairie Chickens "booming" in our front yard was another incredible treat. We would also have flocks of hundreds of snow geese stop and rest near our pond during migration. ❤
Enjoy nature whenever and wherever you can! Sadly, where I grew up, the bobwhite quail have been exterpated by housing development and land clearing, and the Attwater's Prairie Chickens are quickly nearing extinction in spite of decades of intervention to restore the population. 😥
Oh, wow, this is SO encouraging. I have a building that my dad built for me several years ago (he passed away last fall) and it has gotten crammed with STUFF (everything that we want out of the house but don't know what to do with, old projects, former businesses, all.the.craft.stuff, Christmas decor, etc., etc.) I want to clear it out so that I can make a "tiny space" for my mom to stay when she comes to visit. This video makes that dream seem like a possibility. I'll be re-watching for your tips!
I’m stunned by what Lauren accomplished! I’d love to see more!!
This was a HUGE and amazing transformation! Congratulations, Lauren, for climbing that mountain! ❤
She killed it!
OHY GOSH CAS AND LAUREN!! I agree, that's the most amazing extreme declutter!! Oh, I think I need intuitive decluttering, but it's scary that I might give away things that I regret. I wish you could help me too, to get my life out from under all the clutter and chaos.
I just started decluttering my garage too. Today was throwing out obvious trash. I started looking into boxes and getting nostalgic, so I stopped. I did empty an entire metal cabinet of yarn I've been holding onto since my daughter was born. She's 21 now. I will hit it up again tomorrow. I'm trying to start with the storage so I have a place to keep the things I really want.
Our entire town was recently evacuated due to fires and it was really hard to decide what we wanted to take. Our house didn't burn and so now I'm really going to try and discover the things I truly love.
In overwhelming spaces, it is much easier for me to do one small thing a day and then forget it. That way it doesn't become a frustration. Everytime another area is done, is an accomplishment.
SO. VERY. INSPIRING! Any big mountain can be climbed step by baby step.
Cass. I desperately needed to see this process to get to the transformation! I have a similiar packed garage situation. 2 yrs ago, my water heater flooded my house and every thing had to get boxed up and moved into my 2 car garage while demo/repair was done. It took almost 4 months living in a hotel for us to get back into our house 😮
I still have not went through all the boxes and bins of stuff. In fact, I need to find my bedroom tv, my living room lamps, my jewerly box and more. We have been living without these items and needing them.
This gives me hope and inspires me to work the same processes to tackle my garage. I am also extremely ADHD!
Cass should help YOU NEXT!
I love when you make videos like this, Cass! thank you!
Definitely would love to see more because im almost at 2 years trying to declutter my home of 45 years!!! I’m 71 and I’m a lot slower than I used to be and when you spend all this money and energy to organize and it really doesn’t work for our lifestyle it is such a downer and and it sets me back because I don’t want to fail again so I loved how you had her doing this project and show us the process and the progress!! Thank you so much!!
Lauren has inspired me to get into our garage. We took everything from a storage shed that was costing us money and put it into our garage 6 months ago and it's packed to the rafters. In 3 weeks we have kerbside collection and I want to go through it all and dump what I don't want so I can have my garage back. Also, Canada and Australia are so alike. We too constantly stop for animals. Enjoy our week!
Lauren is absolutely amazing!!! I’m so proud of her and all of her accomplishments!!!
congrats! Yes, I would love to see more of her journey. It's a clear victory, as a busy mom I bet it makes her feel good.
I have been looking for a video for the past few days to help motivate me to tackle the garage. Most try dragging everything out at once, but I needed something that showed a little at a time. This was perfect.
Amazing transformation! I am so inspired! I told my husband "i don't care what needs to get done in our house, i want to plow through our garage this weekend!". Seriously, i keep trying to declutter our house. Stuff gets thrown out, stuff gets donated, but also stuff gets thrown in boxes and put in the garage to deal with later 😝 i keep telling myself i cant tackle it til our house is in order. Nope. Not anymore....i hope i make huge amounts if progress this weekend! Even small amounts will be good though 😁. Thanks again for all the great tips and motivation!
I love Cass’s energy! How did the garage go?
Yes I'd love to watch the rest of Lauren's Journey ❤ & I'd love your help Decluttering my spaces
Ah!! Lauren what a trooper! Well done friend. You did an amazing job. Caz you are making a difference to so many peoples' lives. Thanks you!
I like the fact that you said embrace good enough. I never thought of that, but it's true if I try to be perfect or try to get everything so organized right from the beginning, I start to overthink about it. And then I don't do anything.It just takes longer to get done.But when you say good enough for now , then you can keep on moving.
Cas I’m sooooo glad you are back to doing the declutterring videos!!! This is your special super power / super skill. No one does this better than you sweet lady! And doing a follow up video to see this lady go forward would be wonderful!🎉😊❤
Cas,
Yes we would like to see you follow Lauren in her journey.
This was such a good video. The advice given to support her was valuable.
I wish I could switch your great decluttering advise into weightloss success .
Thank you
Well done, Lauren, you’re awesome! Very inspiring. Last week I went out on the open highway, rounded a corner in the dark and a koala was walking calmly across the road just about to cross the centre line into my lane. Yikes. Missed it by about 1m. So glad.
Yes, let’s see more!
I love these videos where you are actually helping somebody work through a project!
OMG Cas, well done on helping Lauren. Also, panic tossing a turtle into the water is a total Janet move! ☺
I LOVE all your videos, but this one was ultra-inspiring! As soon as my husband gets home, Im going to get him to watch this and hopefully start on our garage this weekend! You are the best!
❤ from The Yukon
Kudos to Lauren for being so exposed. That takes a lot to show a space that is overwhelming for others to see. Also, this was so helpful!! I have a similar project I want to tackle this weekend and now I feel like I have good tools to do it!! Great job Lauren!!
I would love to see more of Lauren’s journey. This has been so encouraging for me. ❤
We are having a goose parade here in Northern Minnesota too. It's crazy. I love you "stayed til the end" stories. Keep 'em coming'!!
A few weeks ago I was at a light and I saw geese walking across the cross walk. I had to get out my phone. They were so polite to use the cross walk. It was adorable!! I live in NJ near Philly. Very suburban.
A big congratulations to Lauren and her successful, uncluttered garage! I too am ADHD so I fully understand how she felt when she was facing that alone! My garage looked similar! It's improved a little!
I moved into my current house a little over four years ago. There had been several "issues" with packers with my garage at my previous house. I'm not so sure how well everything was packed up! (Not so well!?!) To add insult to injury, the first thing that happened when they started unpacking at this house was that when they rolled up the back door of the truck, things just started rolling out! We had nails, screws, tools and all manner of other things covering the driveway! It went downhill from there! Thank goodness the driveway does not slant down! If it did, I would have had people chasing my stuff down the street! Gradually I have gotten it to where I can pull my car into the garage! It's been a long hard struggle! I want my garage to eventually look like Lauren's. I have big dreams!
Yes, yes, yes!
WOW this was AWESOME! I hope we get to see you help her set up her store! Would love to see that!!!
I am from Arkansas too congrats Lauren fantastic job. Now that you have learned the magical ways come help your fellow Arkansan lol. So proud of you and let me know when u get your shop going.
What a fantastic transformation!! And so inspiring. And YES I'd love to see a video of Lauren getting her store up and running.
Lauren’s garage is making me think of our basement of doom after just moving into our new house (rental) and things that either we didn’t know where to put or what to do with or didn’t belong on the main floor went to the basement…. So it’s going to be quite the project but every time we empty a box or go through stuff we are doing a great job at giving things away!
Lauren did an amazing job! I'm so impressed.
Thank you for this very positive video, it makes me believe that living for 12 years with a really cluttered attic there is hope that I can turn that around once and for all.
Wow wow wow! Fantastic! I think she got it all don3 because you showed her where and how to start! Isn’t that often the hardest part! So nice of you to help her and so great that she did it!!!
OMGosh Lauren is ADORABLE!! What an incredible accomplishment, it looks amazing :)
This was amazing, Lauren was inspiring! Yes, let's see her business building!!🎉
I too have add/ HD. This episode helps me see that I can do it too. So, Yes! I would like to see her store journey
I love you Cass! I watch you here and listen on I heart... I can't leave feed back there! All I want to say is thank you! You are so encouraging to me! Thank you for sharing your story too!!
She did an amazing job making the organized space for her husbands work shop. Great job!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lauren, Congratulations on your success and thank you for sharing your journey of decluttering. Cass you did an awesome job coaching Lauren on and keeping her focused. Excellent video!
I decided it was way past time to tackle my crazy house and have been on a major decluttering journey. When I first began I would easily get distracted and move around the house. I finally discovered that I needed to do one room at a time before allowing myself to move on.
I love this! Lauren did such a great job!!! While listening/watching I started tackling my bedroom. I need to figure out a system for my bedroom walk-in closet. I have attempted to clean and declutter it SO many times but it’s the space in the house that becomes the dumping zone for things that don’t have a home. Problem is, everything goes in there to die. Currently it can’t be classified as a “walk-in” closet, it’s more of a one step in the door and reach for what you need!! Between your videos and Dawn from The Minimal Mom, I WILL get this house in order! I’ve begun using your 5-minute per room cleaning routine so I’m spending less time stressing about cleaning and more time decluttering! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos! They are making a difference for SO many people!
You can do it! Remember, everything needs a home and only what can fit in that space can stay. So if random things are accumulating in your wardrobe, are they homeless things that need a home? Or do you need a system for getting things out of your home, like a donation box? Food for thought 😊
Whoa that's pretty amazing and Lauren's just the cutest! Yes, please show readying the store 😊
I need A Cass! For real for real! I used to be a neat freak. After my mother-in-law passed away my father-in-law's health went down hill. He ended up moving in with us and after 4 years of managing the stress of watching a loved one slip away from us, my house was ultimately put on the back burner. I was just sad, depressed, overwhelmed, etc. I went through 2 surgeries (one was for my hip... I was 27) and my husband also underwent a double hernia surgery that led to severe lymphedema. Most of this took place through covid. Fast forward to the day before Thanksgiving 2022, my father-in-law passed away and it took me almost a year to go into his room. Needless to say, it's been a process. I have ADD and the whole project causes me to shut down. So yeah, I need a Cass. I should probably start her classes that I paid for. 😂
Lauren’s success was inspiring. As for the wildlife, it’s humans encroachment on their habitat.
I'm sorry. This will be long. Thank you for sharing this. Your words to Lauren really hit me. For years, I was the main caregiver for my parents. My mom had Alzheimer disease and my dad had arthritis so bad that he was bedridden his last years. I was doing this while trying to work outside the home. Needless to say, my home suffered. I have 2 bedrooms that are stacked high like Lauren's garage. I have been struggling with how to begin. Thank you again.
Thank you Cass and especially thank you Lauren for sharing this b/c it's amazing the work you've done and it will really inspire and encourage so many people. Before covid, before discovering Cass and Dawn and Dana and the rest of the gang, my apartment was like your garage, and I found it so overwhelming, I didn't know where to start. So I didn't. But then with Cass' videos and the others too, I started chipping away and over time, I got rid of so much stuff and my place is very manageable now. I'm always careful when I go shopping, or to garage sales, to think twice before bringing an item into my home. Thank you both for this video. Lauren, your family and your home are lovely!
What a great video!!! The Before & After was amazing. When you were talking about the baby bunnies, That's exactly what I had to deal with today. I was driving down the road stopped because baby bunnies. Were running back-and-forth on our road having all kinds of fun.❤ They were so cute. They're little white tails. When you were talking about the turtle.Three weeks ago my yard was getting mowed and all of a sudden my youngest her fiance Yells out, look what I found. A turtle.!! It was huge, My oldest took the turtle down the road to where there was some water. We haven't had a turtle in our yard for so many, many years. So I thought it was funny watching your video today. You talking about 2 animals that we've had to deal with just recently.
