    The cleaning and organizing process begins with Diana and Janet helping Becca distinguish between what’s 'loved' - items that still hold meaning and use for her, and what’s 'dead' - the things that no longer fit in her life. Our new cleaning video series, is called, 'Loved or Dead'.
    Sponsored by Zerorez, professional carpet cleaners. They brought new life to carpet. Look for a location near you at zerorezinc.sjv.io/vN6EW3

    We cleaned for free and teach our decluttering method to declutter and organize your home. Keep what you love and make it easy for you to use and locate. Discard or donate what's dead to you. It's very satisfying to do go through this process!
    You won't believe her friend's reaction when he saw her clean house - and what happened after we left! In this heartwarming episode, we take you inside an overwhelming and emotional journey of extreme home cleaning.
    Experience the emotional rollercoaster as we try to find the answer by seeing what's 'loved' and what's 'dead' to her. Watch as we do more than just a clean home, but help give Becca a fresh start and a renewed sense of hope in the future.

    Meet Rebecca, a single professional living with her cats in a 2 bedroom apartment that has become a reflection of her inner turmoil.
    The episode begins with hosts Janet and Diana going to Rebecca’s residence. They’re instantly confronted by the extent of neglect and disarray. Her home, once pristine, is now in a state of chaos that mirrors the state of her personal struggles.
    Rebecca's story is told through interviews and narrations.
    She had a tumultuous marriage marked by her alcoholism and mental health challenges. Despite her efforts to maintain the home in the hope of her partner’s return, the marriage ended, leaving Rebecca devastated. This emotional downfall is manifested in her living environment, which is in a state of clutter and neglect.
    We sort through the mess including bedrooms, and a practically unusable bathroom and kitchen.
    As the cleaning progresses, we share more about Rebecca's life. Viewers learn about her past aspirations, fears and dreams for the future, including how she gave up a baby for adoption. Her best friend James gives his perspective and is amazed by the changes.
    The episode reaches its emotional climax as Rebecca begins to participate in the cleansing process. A particularly poignant moment is her decision to discard her wedding photos, a symbolic act of her ready to accept the end of her marriage and move forward in her life.
    As the space clears, so does Rebecca's demeanor. The clean, functional spaces help her build hope and confidence.
    At the end, we reflect on the journey and how important it is that Rebecca does this for herself, not for someone else. The episode ends with an uplifting note. Rebecca shows us how she’s maintained her home. It’s the 4th of July and she has friends over to watch fireworks. The transformation, both of the home and of Rebecca, stands as a testament to the power of physical and emotional decluttering, a core tenet of the "Loved or Dead" series.

    • @CleanFreakGermaphobe
      @CleanFreakGermaphobe  5 місяців тому +2

      I never thought of Google doing that. First, you're not alone in these challenges. Second, start small. Instead of clean the whole kitchen, do 20 items or 15 minutes that you define what you'll do in that 15 minutes. So you will put 20 items into the dishwasher. Only do that. The next day, do it again.
      I have ADHD (not severe but I get it and have kids with it). We can't say, clean your room! It has to be you can (have or do) this if you do this. An if/then thing. If you do these 3 things (write them down), then you can (reward, something you want to do or have). Or it's a time limit, like 15 minutes of cleaning a specific space.
      So for my daughter, it's written down on a sticky note, with a box to check it off:
      - Pick up all dirty clothes and put them in the basket.
      - Take the basket upstairs and start the wash.
      - Make your bed.
      Then she shows me when she's finished, she gets her iPad back. Or I drive her to her friend's house. Or sign that paper. Make her a snack. Or whatever it is to get the reward.
      I do it to myself too. I tell myself, you can call your friend, after you put the things to be donated, into the back of the car. So my reward is to call my friend. Then tomorrow it's I want to get a smoothie, so I tell myself, get the smoothie on the way back from dropping everything off at Savers. I also put them on my Google calendar so I get a popup on my phone and go and do it. Every day it's blocked off for 15 minutes. I have to say, you can check Facebook, after you do your 15 minutes.

    Well, only fairly… but better than nothing.
    She has such a wonderful eye for decoration.

      My guess is she feels like she is garbage and so it surrounds her space. The outside being a reflection of her internal feelings/lack of self worth. Maybe not forgiving herself, not feeling loved?
      Thanks for your kind, empathetic comment. I hope she feels loved and that life is good for her.

    I think it is wonderful that you helped her, but I kind of felt like there was a bit of a humiliation factor to the way some of this was presented. I don't know....I could be wrong, but that was the vibe I was getting initially. I hope she didn't feel ashamed. Like the wiping the refrigerator bit.... I don't think her issue is that she doesn't know how to clean.... Her issue seems to be deeper than that.

    • @CleanFreakGermaphobe
      @CleanFreakGermaphobe  4 місяці тому +1

      This is one of the saddest comments. Sometimes people think by saying someone’s house is a mess or that a mess OSS gross, that we’re by extension saying the person it’s. It’s more that we get used to our surroundings, our smell and atmosphere. And seeing it through another person’s eyes helps us see how bad we need to change.
      We wouldn’t be there for hours or pay over $1k if it weren’t needed. That is sobering to consider the cost and weight of the clean up.
      But most of us have been there in one sense or another and need help. Becca has so much courage to let is in. She’d watched a lot of our videos. Obviously, tried many things.
      Being open to having her friends over and not feeling ashamed is so healing. Because community is part of the solution when you have so much you want to hide.
      We’re not psychologists and always try to be compassionate yet teach, is important to us.
      In no way do we want to humiliate anyone. My biggest hope is that everyone lives a life they love. Even with it’s messes, ups and downs.
