      ⁠​⁠@@ludwigvonmiseswasright4380 no for her this would literally have a pay off. Firstly she would use the craft items she has, secondly she would be creative which has always been a safe space and outlet for her, plus it will likely stop a relapse into hoarding cause she would end up seeing all of her stuff. Secondly she loves having people have items that they adore. The payout would be a million times revenue just not in money but rather security and peace of mind. Plus building better habits and outlooks.
      Literally perfect!! GO ALL IN 😁 lol

      YES to how to help a hoarder declutter!!
      My ageing (boomer) mum is finally letting me start with little, more recent additions and things with expiry dates BUT the bigger and older items are still a no-go as yet. This is the family home of 100years+ so has generations of hoards, while my mum's health and mobility are declining. Any tips on how to progress past the easier items would be greatly appreciated please, Ms Hart, so I can make the place safer for her 💗🙏

    @Anberel 7 місяців тому +25

    The most important thing to do when laid off is to apply for unemployment insurance as quickly as possible. Even if you have severance, having your application processed quickly will prevent gaps in income. It’s not a loan or a handout. Your employer pays the state for unemployment insurance on your behalf. In some cases you might also pay a portion of your pay towards it.

    • @ahoardersheart
      @ahoardersheart  7 місяців тому +3

      Thank you so much my friend, I am going to apply!! I believe in my state I have to wait for my severance package which will be in my last paycheck next week. I have 1 week’s work and the package ❤️🙏🏼❤️

    • @Anberel
      @Anberel 7 місяців тому +1

      @@ahoardersheart it varies from state to state. Here you can complete your application and then each week you report any income received from your severance which modifies how much you receive that week (but not how much you are eligible for overall, you just get extra weeks.) This is good for situations in which the weekly severance is less than your original pay. It’s worth looking at the form right now anyway so you have all your information organized and ready to submit as early as possible. I was a contractor for 17 years so I’ve had to do it at least a dozen times. Best of luck!

    Honestly, you don't always need to do a voice-over. You could easily just set up the camera and show yourself getting things accomplished. Moving things around, going through bins, organizing, etc. You could always just pop in every now and then and briefly explain what your doing, but, I think you'll find people will be pleased just to see you making big process! Your followers will continue to watch, and showing a whole clean out, with a catchy title like a "The Great Garage Un-hoard: is it all Tossy-Tossy?" for instance might draw in some new subs that really enjoy watching deep cleans, organizations, and junk removal. You'll find your way, but don't feel like you have to voice-over every step of the way. Add some tunes and screen titles, and show us what your doing!

    I had to walk away from my job
    After we had a new boss who did not like me.
    She wanted her own staff and younger people working with her. 5 years. I was there , but the last year was hell😢
    Too much verbal abuse.
    God gave me a push to walk out of my shift.
    I was free from that pain & suffering at last. 😊
    Then the fear came back
    I could not get a job as I was 61😢.
    I started to declutter & decorat our house doing the gardening
    It felt good.
    But I still felt sad as I was not bringing in a wage it was left to my husband .
    I felt it not fair on him.
    I can't get past this as I can't get my pension for another 5 years and my husband fills
    he can't retire next year .
    This makes me feel guilty.
    But now I'm declutting thankyou.

His wife is a “minimalist” and added that she’ll buy new things and if she doesn’t have a place for it or doesn’t use it she gets rid of that, too…money wasted …and it upsets him.

    I was laid off in 2015 and it was the hardest thing I ever went thru. Between the severance package and unemployment, money was okay. What wasn't okay was the loss of my identity, my daily purpose, the way in which my company did it, and the PTSD it still causes to this day. You will grieve for that job, for that position you were in, for the tasks you loved to do, for your boss who was wonderful to you. You may grieve for years and if so that is okay. You are a strong lady. One day at a time. Peace.

    Hi! I like the videos where you talk about what's on your mind as you declutter. Like, when you hold that item, is it easy or hard to keep/declutter and why?
    I'm less interested in videos where someone talks about a topic, I'm not really personally into the "how to" videos. I'm much more inspired and motivated and interested in your straight-up decluttering video with talking about how you're feeling and what you're thinking as you go. ❤️
    Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

    I love, love, love your attitude! Your videos bless me so much. You are a gifted speaker, you tell your story so well. I’m excited to see what God has for you as you step out into the somewhat unknown. How gracious of your boss to cover your financial needs for the coming months. God is good!!!

    I would really like to hear more about paper piles in a hoarding home. Bills, school papers, newspapers to put under crafts and all kinds of paper that comes into the home. I recycle immediately but all the other papers congregate in one place becoming piles.

    You have been working so hard on improving your state of being with clearing away ‘stuff’. I can’t help but feel this will be a blessing in disguise from the Universe. The fact that you have been working on getting rid of stored items - the Universe is like ‘well done’, a storage facility no longer resonates with your energy. This will be a good thing 💗

      I was confused about "have your surgeries in time", but I guess you mean while still covered by employer's health insurance? (I'm not in the US.) If that was an issue then of course the timing was good (or intentional on the part of her boss).

    Here in Colorado when I was laid off I checked and four that a person has to have full time work for 4 quarters...one year in the state before being eligible for unemployment money. Also the person has to apply and get interviews for jobs that they would be qualified to do every week. The weeks of unemployment money is just for a limited time only. It was tough finding a new job.

Take a little more time to rest and recover from surgery. I am happy for you. And, tell your boss/friend thank you for taking care of you with the package. I am sure you were a fun and fantastic employee. May God continue to bless you and your dreams.

I would also like to see your homemaking a bit more. Just anything and everything, honestly. Lol. 🦄 🎉

As far as the types of videos I'd enjoy (besides cleaning out the basement) are: zoning the basement, yard sale videos, including how you prepare for them, if your boys have stuff they want to get rid of, maybe a kid yard sale where they get the proceeds, straightening videos, and videos where you make spaces more butterfly friendly, and the occaisional kon marie on themed items.

    I'm so happy you are seeing these changes in a positive way for yourself and the owner.
    I'd really like to see more about how you work on not rehoarding, not buying more, not accumulating more. I feel like I do great about letting things go, deciding and organizing but I still bring so much into my home almost unintentionally. It hurts my progress, my bank account and my heart to still be stuck in that cycle when I feel like I've made so much progress elsewhere. Any insight you have on that, including maybe guests or information from experts, would be really helpful!

    Could you do more interviews? Where others who declutter talk to you and ask questions? And maybe where you tall with other Hoarders who have watched your channel and have honest conversations about the perspective and feelings. Watching this channel has helped me understand the trait I fought and the family members who had struggled.

  • @jeno264
    @jeno264 7 місяців тому +1

    Alot of suggestions to take on helping others with hoarding problems; just be aware that it takes enormous reserves of energy to coach others through this, and you would have to deal with alot of the emotion that drives the issues, so you have to have really strong boundaries to stop them sucking your energy all out or messing your own mind up 💖💖
