Sometimes I think we all need a close girl buddy who can accept us as we are, just as we accept them as they are , then take turn in helping each other in what we really need. Rather than pretend to each other that we are okay when we are not. Grateful to have discovered you Cass 😘
True, my friend who filled that role for the last while has now succumb to the cancer that she’d been battling for years. It was hard to say goodbye, and I have yet to find someone like her. I know that will happen again, as life has shown me that happens every time we go through these things, but it is tough in the moment.
@@deborahwalton-blanchard5817 when my others passed sweeping my kitchen floor was the anchor point of my days. I wish you all the best for your family.
My boss used to stop by a laundromat after every camping trip or vacation. They would take their suitcases in to the laundromat and every member of the family would help get the laundry done so when they went home each person could unpack and mom didn’t have to recover from trips. It takes an hour but saves many hours of work. How’s that for laundry math?
I used to do this when I picked my kids up from camp. We went directly to the laundromat so that all the dirt and bugs never came into the house and sleeping bags could be washed when our washer was much smaller. The kids actually looked forward to this time because we'd take small games (pass the pigs, phase 10 dice, card games, etc.) and they'd have my undivided attention while the machines were doing the hard part. They could share all of their camp stories and they'd help fold everything and haul it back out to the car. They're now grown, but they still talk about going to the laundromat fondly.
Even though my house is 1200 square feet and i purchased it "AS IS," it has EVERY SINGLE THING I have always wanted...fenced front and back yard, front and back sidewalks, neighborhood walking sidewalks, garage, hardwood floors, fireplace in the living room, pull down attic steps, full attic, separate laundry room, full length front porch, large picture window in the living room, double kitchen sink, full tub/shower, florida room, etc., etc., etc. God has BLESSED me with this precious house! I call it my "prayer cottage" because God is CLEARLY here, blessing me every step of the way!
I have a 1300 square foot home on 8 acres. I love my kitchen, my living room and bedroom. I’m grateful. There are so many things I wish were different but I just have to be thankful for what I do have. Ie. I wish I had hardwood floors, separate laundry, front porch and foyer and would like another bathroom.
😮AMEN SIS SAME HERE ! I WENT FROM ON THE BRINK OF HOMELESSNESS to a AS IS home for 5 figures. Couldn't beat that during pandemic madness. So gratefull to God for this home
3 bags of garbage, 6 bags and 2 boxes of donations later, I feel amazing! Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement to get started and keep going. ❤
I am going through a depression amd have beem in bed a lot. All I did while listening to this was organize my earrings....but it felt GOOD! It may be a small job, but it will make getting ready for work easier and I found some sparkly ones I forgot I had even!!! Thank you for motivating me to get up and do something:)
"It's about consistently caring" - such a perfect analogy. You never fail to inspire Cass! And you never EVER make anyone feel bad about not having done something.
Okay. I just found you this morning. About an hour ago actually. So far I’ve cleaned my kitchen, tackled the never ending mess of trash in the garage AND I’m washing my sheets. You’re an absolute saint. I’ve been struggling to find the motivation to clean for MONTHS.
Watched this yesterday, then went outside and spent an hour sweeping my yard, trimming back some dead plants and planting some pansies I bought months ago. AND I enjoyed myself being outside and listening to music while I worked. Thanks so much for the mojo boost ❤
My home is my happy place. Out in the country with my husband, my animals (goats, ducks, geese, chickens) and my garden. Beautiful sunrise and sunset views.
Wow Cass. I walk around my yard and look at my home from every angle and take a few deep breaths. Staying in the family home after divorce where there are so many bad memories is tough so I’ve started painting rooms, changed out trim, fixed things, put up curtain rods, painted furniture and boy it’s made a difference. Slow going with depression but every day I’ve made progress even if it’s a nap. It’s great not living with a hoarder so I do Wonder Woman twirls in the empty spaces without fail. I have a dance like no one’s looking space in my lounge. The ex hated my cleaning of anything so I gave up and I’m going to get back to my teen self where I decluttered all the time and kept my room so damn tidy. Therapy has helped with the trauma of always being told that my cleaning style was bad. Love my new bed but can’t sleep in the main room as I’d hoped so I’m moving my bed downstairs. Glad I decluttered over the years prior to divorce. I’m putting up art and decor for the first time without complaints from the peanut gallery. Starting to appreciate my cottage for the first time in 16yrs. Am trying to do some ‘honey dos’ at night even though it’s just me as a bonus and that’s good. It can even be prepping for a job in the morning. ❤
Hey cas! You are literally my friend everyday!! I want you to know you should never consider yourself crappy!!! I watch your videos on repeat!!! Inspiring🙌 no more negative self talk k!!! I feel you we feel you! We love you!!
I was homeless most of my adult life until I had kids 10 years ago and got into housing finally and have had a roof over my head since. I have adhd, anxiety , depression, and that makes it extra challenging. I loved how you talked about gratitude, it made me remember how far I've come and that I need to appreciate what I have
WOW, Sooooo much TRUTH in here . This was awesome . Thank you !!!!! I washed my dishes and cleaned my kitchen while listening ..... It helped. THANK YOU ! We can do it , everyone !!!!!
Cas, put this podcast on when I was already cleaning. I needed to run out and do an errand when you started talking about taking a bag and running around your house to get things out. I remembered I had a bunch of stuff I needed to take to clothing and shoe recycling, which I was getting ready to drive right by, so I grabbed a bag grabed the stuff took it with me on my errand. Thank you so much, it feels great to get that stuff out!
I have been religiously binge watching your videos and podcasts for a little over a year now and I just absolutely cannot thank you enough for the amount that you have helped me. But this is by far my FAVORITE one that I listened to so far. I was in tears the entire video because I was homeless for a few years and sometimes I forget how lucky and grateful I am to have my own place now where I can take care of myself and my kitties. A place for us to rest and feel safe which is absolutely priceless to me. Thank you Cas!! You are a truly amazing woman that helps so many people. Love you girl
Cas, I'm loving that our house has a roof because it's been raing all day. There are many things I don't love about it that need to be fixed or repaired, but financially, right now, we can't fix them. I've been working in my hot mess of a sewing / craft room for 2 wks, which was filled to the brim of so much stuff that needed to go away. I'd say it's still 1/2 full, but that means that 1/2 of it is gone. I'm still working at getting more stuff put. Hopefully, in a few weeks, I'll be done. Then that will be 1 room that I will love & that will be a start. 😊
So true! I've been sitting in front of the tv for a week, eating a horrible diet and feeling terrible. Today is the day I start cleaning in one room. Then I'll move to another room. Maybe I'll get it done. Maybe not. But I will move. Thank you for voicing what I've been living lately!
It is very helpful to listen to you while I clean (well, mostly dishes and laundry) but I couldn't think of anything that I love about my house or of a time that it looked really good, and this made me sad. I thought I should then at least be grateful I get to live in a house (which unfortunately is not even mine) but I still feel down and with an added feeling of guilt for not feeling grateful enough...it's hard...in the meantime I listen to the podcast to at least keep my mind busy and distracted from the bad thoughts
It’s august in Illinois as I watch this. I’m going out and “ love the crap” outta my garage! 7 am and going to be 90 today- so getting WAY ahead of the heat. Will quit before it gets horrible, in this detached, uninsulated garage. Cas- you are such a BIG motivation booster! Thanks, youngun!
Ok the talk about my house really got me. So 10yrs ago I went to visit a friend and she took me inside this house. Belongs to her mother and is a rental. I fell so in love. It's over 100 years old and on main street in a small historic mountain town. The garden is beautiful and I was instantly like this is my dream house. Fast forward ten years and I am finally living in it. With fibromyalgia and depression it can get out of control fast and I start hating it in here. It's a cluttered mess and not at all my vision of my dream house. Example is that the second bedroom is just a jumbled storage mess I can't even walk into rather than a cute guest room or craft room. So while you talked I worked on my kitchen. I got so much done! Even washed the window above my sink 😊. I'm feeling motivated to do a bit more, but even if I stopped now I would be happy. I always clean to cleaning video and podcasts and you are my go to
Depression, hypothyroidism, cks, and other illnesses cause fatigue. I have all of these. A good health checkup, better eating habits, and exercise will help. Just divide a room up into quarters and do a quarter a day if u get overwhelmed. This really helps me. I am a recovered hoarder and have cleaned my small house up. I am now into renovation. It is hard but if u really want to u can overcome this. Divide the work up.
My husband is off work today and he’s taking a nap and it’s sucking the motivation out of me. I could have a nap. I shouldn’t have to deal with the kids and the mess if he’s here and ignoring it all. But it’s the wrong attitude and I’m grateful to have this today
Take care of you too. ❤ My ex only looked after himself. It’s hard and I empathise. If I’m feeling down I try to do the boring jobs then so when I feel better the job is done or made easier because I’ve done step one when down. Sending you hugs. 😊
You can get to a point where the less you do, the less you want to do. If continued ling enough, it will become the less you can do. I love walking through the front door.
Cas, I found you a few weeks ago and have made so much progress decluttering! I started with a drawer in the kitchen and just kept on going. I've completed so much because you gave me the knowledge and permission to break it down into manageable projects. And, how to declutter and not make a mess by getting rid of things NOW by trashing, bagging to donate, and putting them right in the car rather than leaving the stuff sitting in the house. What a difference! This method has been so liberating, getting free of so much stuff that has been weighing me down for years. I'm not done yet but I'm so happy with what I've done in a few weeks! Kudos for today's video, I'm gonna keep on lovin' my house - I love it more and more as I get rid of what I don't want/need/use anymore!
This was incredibly helpful. I have a house in the country surrounded by acres of meadow, a river, all kinds of wildlife, that allows me to have multiple pets. All I could think of was all the work it takes to maintain it and how I always fall behind. If you love something, you naturally want to care for it. I just never really thought of loving it before in that way.
I had mojo this morning. I picked up my little hoover and moved around quickly to several rooms. A few areas just needed a quick clean. This was 5 minutes. Sadly after lunch and my pills. My Long covid kicked in, and I drifted off to sleep for a few hours on the sofa. Almost 4 years in to Long Covid. Remembered why I can't go around doing house cleaning. Especially hoovering. It wears me out to the point of exhaustion.
That’s exactly what I was thinking and what I truly love about our house. The light in the house. We have about 15 windows ❤ ahhhh thank you for the reminder of focusing!
WOW, I needed this today. I am going to remember it isn't all or nothing: that paralizes me in NOTHING mode. Also MAD cleaning works but LOVING your house while cleaning is so much better. Thanks Cas, you are awesome in so many ways. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
It’s 1:00am and I just woke up from (bronchitis) sleeping all day and tonight. And I tuned in to you. Hopefully my physical MOJO will rise soon, but this video at least hit me when I needed it most!
I love this difference between " In love cleaning my House, because I love my home" and just "I hate cleaning!" This is such a good mindshift! I'll try this right now!💪
I needed this. I’m in my first trimester of pregnancy with 2 small children. I have been soooo sick the last 2 months and barely get out of bed or off the couch. But feel better when I go to work, because I’m forcing myself to accomplish something. I have just recently beeen forcing myself to do the same at home even if it’s just the bare minimum. Thank you for the motivation I need today. ❤ also in my SUPER emotional state this made me cry😢😂
I LOVE my home, and the most I love is the fact that no traffic comes down here. It is so peaceful, and that means the world to me, being a highly sensitive person. xxx
Just during this podcast i have cleaned my children's bedrooms, tidied their drawers and wardrobes and put washing away! Two carrier bags of rubbish out and now im onto hoovering the floors! Mind-blowing for me Cass and get this I think im going to carry on downstairs too thanks to you i actually have momentum!
Girl, I just want to say thank you so much! 😊 - I’m enjoying the decluttering process every step of the way. It has taken me a long time, but truly listening to your videos has made a unique difference in me. I am actually motivated, not superficially, but truly deeply motivated and inspired. I’m grateful for you and your wisdom. I always pray, I pray for motivation, for some reason your video popped up just maybe a week ago and since then, I’ve started following you and listening to more of your videos. God is good!! He is guiding your steps to help others achieve success with this never ending journey of organization and keeping a home tidy for ourselves and our loved ones. It can be very challenging for some of us for our individual situations. Happy for you and I’m truly excited to say keep it up! Thank you so much!! 🎉❤😊
This was amazing!!! Focusing on what I love about my home…thinking in terms of loving on my home…this was a true lightbulb moment! Love your channel/podcast/IG so much, Cass! Thanks for being so authentic & relatable❤️
Thanks, I actually needed this today; daylight saving time started so the dogs didn't know when to sleep and when to wake, so woke me up an hour earlier. Then I didn't have time to wash my female dog just getting over heat so my male dog was still going bonkers, and my old dog seems to need to go outside 6 times this morning, and it is dark! And they all got upset when I started working "an hour early", so I put them in crates which they didn't like either...so, maybe listen to Cass instead of all this! And I put on the headphones to block out the dog barking and it did make me smile and calm down! So after the podcast went down and cleaned up the kitchen a little, and now it is an hour later and the dogs have calmed down. So it is better. Some points on travel- I used to travel for work 4 days a week and learned to immediately start the wash upon getting home, so within about 12 hours it is mostly done. I work from home now, but like to do laundry now once a week, usually on Sundays since that is the first day of the week- have a cutoff of laundry and do every spec of it, so it is "done" once a week. So then it becomes a "weekly" task, and I try to get weekly tasks like bathing the dog done before Friday, so literally Saturday is a "rest" day with all the weekly tasks done. I have weekly tasks at work as well and try to get all those done early in the week, then Saturdays is my rest day! But yes, I do love my house for the space it provides, so taking care of it is great advice!
I bought the wire shelves that I think you put in your daughter's bathroom or somewhere. I bought a set for my daughter's bathroom and it's transformed her bathroom. I just hung my set. Cant wait to organize that area. Great motivation and reminder of the blessing our house/ space is.
Sorry, I am very Grateful for our home. We gave up our house in 2009, specifically in August of 2009. The only bathroom, we have is big. My kitchen has a dishwasher, my husband gave me because of my carpul pain.
After hearing you say about the fact that we will be eating in the plates and using the mugs again. I want to decluter the dishes that are heavy for my hands. Go and buy new ones to gifts to my home, that are all dishwasher safe ❣️ and light on my hands ❣️🫧🪶🫧🪶🎈🪶🪁🌬🪽🪶🪶🪶
I have been following you for awhile now but this is, hands down, the video that speaks to me the most. Thank you for this perspective shift that i needed so much!
I’ve been purging for a few days. I’m not sure who said it, but I continually hear….don’t put it down, put it away. You’re so helpful! Thanks for sharing and giving us a kick in the pants!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I tend live in the “all or nothing” mindset. Been paralyzed by depression for a while. Just trying to survive the day to day, but nothing gets done beyond that. Your words were exactly what I needed to hear to get me up and going. Thank you for giving me the insight to fight my inner bully and push through the perfectionism block.
Cass, it was a Godsend that I found this particular episode today! I cleaned our huge walk-in shower (most dreaded job in the house) while listening, and it went so much easier than it usually does. It was an actual “miracle” 😂 Thank you so much! I don’t know how you knew, but that was exactly the level of motivation I needed. Bless you, my Dear 🙏🏽💖😍
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed some support and encouragement today to help me get "unstuck". But most importantly, to let go of feeling like a failure because I'm feeling so completely overwhelmed...💗💗💗
Thanks Cass, great video, so powerful and motivational! Really helped to dispel the hang ups I have about my home sometimes. It taught me that cleaning is a system, a process and it's not about the end result! 😊
It’s hard because my baby is sick and I can’t clean even when I want to. But I know it’s just a virus and she’ll be better soon. It’s such a good reminder to try to focus on the positives ❤
I love this video! This is at least the 3rd time I have watched/listened for motivation and inspiration while I clean and declutter. I’d love to see a playlist of your Mojo videos. 😊
I watched this today because I was in the no mojo. I searched for all the trash while I had you ‘in my ear😅’and then it snow balled to tidying up the things that were out of their home. I just sat down to let you know I DID IT BECAUSE OF YOU!!! 💙
Thank you thank you thank you! Cas, this was awesome!! I bookmarked this to have it ready for next time I’m in this same funk. You have no idea how good this made me feel today. You are the best!!!💜
Some people enjoy it being up longer because the lights in the dark winter nights are comforting. But come Spring and Summer the sun takes over. Everyone has their own personal reason for leaving it up longer or taking it down as soon as Christmas day is over. You'll do it when your ready too.
When I tend to get a bit ungrateful about my life or my apartment I think about how lucky I am that my four children have beds, bedrooms, I have a 2 minute walk to work, I have a dish washer and a washing mashine. 😅 I have a beautiful home (most of the time) and I always find a way to be grateful. I am very lucky even if I really wished I had a house and a garden. But hey, who knows? I always try to keep my home clean and beautiful for me and my children that are very proud to bring friends over and that to me is golden ❤🌸
Thank you for this Podcast Cass, I listened to this yesterday as I cleaned my 13 years old daughter's room! I am still not done but I am doing a small chunk at a time!
Oh my gosh! This was exactly me! We went to Disney world and universal for 7 days on March 25. When I got back I did almost nothing for a week. I was so exhausted from the trip and the leading up to the trip and I needed a break
thank you so much!! Your video motivated me to get going on my bedroom and all these damn clothes I have! I love the idea of loving your home❤ beautiful ❤
This is so powerful and I'm only half way through it! I have saved it to revisit when I can take action. I do love my home no matter what it looks like! It's my refuge!
I have a laundry day so I do like that it is done one day a week. I may feel different about laundry if I had a washer dryer in my dwelling but I either use a shared laundry room or the Laundromat
Cas, thanks for reminding everyone to have a spirit of gratitude! I started listening to this as i pulled in from a Costco run...body doubled with you to clean out my fridge so I could put away groceries AND had a grateful spirit that my family will be fed this week. ❤❤
This has been so perfect today thank you! I've just had such a hard time today and many days getting moving. Thank you so much for bringing to attention to having gratitude and loving on our house. This really helps. Grab a couple trash bags, grab your one wonder cleaner and a rag and "love clean" your house!
I love your videos if I've lost my mojo this is the one I come to you all ways manage to explain the mojo thank you cos I've lost my mojk and now I've found it thank you to your videos ❤❤❤
I started in my bedroom with my clothes and closet. It had some bullies still hanging on that were from my days of having a office job when I was younger and had more energy and money, now I’m lucky enough that I tend towards a lot more casual and more comfortable clothes and I don’t remember the last time I even thought about wearing these clothes. So they are in the donation bin now. I got enough free hangers for my clean clothes that were laying on top of a dresser to now hang in the closet and fit better. I also got a load of clothes started in the laundry project process. (Day earlier than I usually do, but the schedule is to remind myself to check the clothes bins.) And the bathroom is cleaner. Now I’m resting in a rocking chair with my heating pad on my back too. About to listen to an audiobook, podcast, or some music next. It’s a good day.
Love you Cas! I have watched you from way back an d found you recently! You have developed Into major perfection!!! Keep up the great work! You are a blessing in my days. ❤🤤. I also love the little bonus in the end ! Love your tough love videos! God bless! No
I just put this podcast on (and haven't finished it yet) and I immediately got to work because I KNEW you'd motivate me! So, when you mentioned about getting a trash bag I shouted to my phone "I already have mine!!"❤🎉😅😊
It's videos like these that make me angry with UA-cam for getting rid of the star rating system. A thumbs up is not enough. Five stars, Cas.
Thank you so much! Your kind comment means a lot to me.
Sometimes I think we all need a close girl buddy who can accept us as we are, just as we accept them as they are , then take turn in helping each other in what we really need. Rather than pretend to each other that we are okay when we are not. Grateful to have discovered you Cass 😘
I'm in!
Me too!
I get going and I get a call from my daughter and everything goes topsy turvy. She’s in the hospital again so… dishes and laundry is it.
True, my friend who filled that role for the last while has now succumb to the cancer that she’d been battling for years. It was hard to say goodbye, and I have yet to find someone like her. I know that will happen again, as life has shown me that happens every time we go through these things, but it is tough in the moment.

What makes you feel safe about clutter? For me it makes me feel really overwhelmed

"Rage Cleaning" that was funny Cas! Good one.
This is the kind of video I love most…a gentle, loving kick in the ass to get up and do something today. It helps my mental health a LOT.

Thank you. It's just that...a process.
So true! I've been sitting in front of the tv for a week, eating a horrible diet and feeling terrible. Today is the day I start cleaning in one room. Then I'll move to another room. Maybe I'll get it done. Maybe not. But I will move. Thank you for voicing what I've been living lately!
Happy International Women's Day, Cas! I needed this today!
I love the quirkiness of my house and I am going to embrace that today and everyday 🙂
It is very helpful to listen to you while I clean (well, mostly dishes and laundry) but I couldn't think of anything that I love about my house or of a time that it looked really good, and this made me sad. I thought I should then at least be grateful I get to live in a house (which unfortunately is not even mine) but I still feel down and with an added feeling of guilt for not feeling grateful enough...it's hard...in the meantime I listen to the podcast to at least keep my mind busy and distracted from the bad thoughts
Literally cleaned one window while you were talking!
Then trimmed up some plants. Just that makes a big difference!
It’s august in Illinois as I watch this. I’m going out and “ love the crap” outta my garage! 7 am and going to be 90 today- so getting WAY ahead of the heat. Will quit before it gets horrible, in this detached, uninsulated garage. Cas- you are such a BIG motivation booster! Thanks, youngun!
My husband, who built our home. My garage, especially when it’s raining. My kitchen fireplace, because feeding my loved ones is my love language. ❤
Ok the talk about my house really got me. So 10yrs ago I went to visit a friend and she took me inside this house. Belongs to her mother and is a rental. I fell so in love. It's over 100 years old and on main street in a small historic mountain town. The garden is beautiful and I was instantly like this is my dream house. Fast forward ten years and I am finally living in it. With fibromyalgia and depression it can get out of control fast and I start hating it in here. It's a cluttered mess and not at all my vision of my dream house. Example is that the second bedroom is just a jumbled storage mess I can't even walk into rather than a cute guest room or craft room. So while you talked I worked on my kitchen. I got so much done! Even washed the window above my sink 😊. I'm feeling motivated to do a bit more, but even if I stopped now I would be happy. I always clean to cleaning video and podcasts and you are my go to
Depression, hypothyroidism, cks, and other illnesses cause fatigue. I have all of these. A good health checkup, better eating habits, and exercise will help. Just divide a room up into quarters and do a quarter a day if u get overwhelmed. This really helps me. I am a recovered hoarder and have cleaned my small house up. I am now into renovation. It is hard but if u really want to u can overcome this. Divide the work up.
The kick totally worked! So much accomplished! BIG Thanks Cas!
My husband is off work today and he’s taking a nap and it’s sucking the motivation out of me. I could have a nap. I shouldn’t have to deal with the kids and the mess if he’s here and ignoring it all. But it’s the wrong attitude and I’m grateful to have this today
Perhaps he could take the kids out when his nap is over so you can have some home alone time?
Take care of you too. ❤ My ex only looked after himself. It’s hard and I empathise. If I’m feeling down I try to do the boring jobs then so when I feel better the job is done or made easier because I’ve done step one when down. Sending you hugs. 😊
It's like you can see right through me, thank you, I don't think I could do it without you!!!!! LOVE U FROM ROMANIA
You can get to a point where the less you do, the less you want to do. If continued ling enough, it will become the less you can do.
I love walking through the front door.
Cas, I found you a few weeks ago and have made so much progress decluttering! I started with a drawer in the kitchen and just kept on going. I've completed so much because you gave me the knowledge and permission to break it down into manageable projects. And, how to declutter and not make a mess by getting rid of things NOW by trashing, bagging to donate, and putting them right in the car rather than leaving the stuff sitting in the house. What a difference! This method has been so liberating, getting free of so much stuff that has been weighing me down for years. I'm not done yet but I'm so happy with what I've done in a few weeks! Kudos for today's video, I'm gonna keep on lovin' my house - I love it more and more as I get rid of what I don't want/need/use anymore!
This was incredibly helpful. I have a house in the country surrounded by acres of meadow, a river, all kinds of wildlife, that allows me to have multiple pets. All I could think of was all the work it takes to maintain it and how I always fall behind. If you love something, you naturally want to care for it. I just never really thought of loving it before in that way.
I had mojo this morning. I picked up my little hoover and moved around quickly to several rooms. A few areas just needed a quick clean. This was 5 minutes. Sadly after lunch and my pills. My Long covid kicked in, and I drifted off to sleep for a few hours on the sofa. Almost 4 years in to Long Covid. Remembered why I can't go around doing house cleaning. Especially hoovering. It wears me out to the point of exhaustion.
Hi Cass, thanks. I love the space in my house. I love cleaning n decluttering. Decluttering can be overwhelming. Yes I do love my house of 30yrs.
My mother's favorite line about house cleaning was "My house is clean enough to be healthy and dirty enough to be happy!" I can subscribe to that!
That’s exactly what I was thinking and what I truly love about our house. The light in the house. We have about 15 windows ❤ ahhhh thank you for the reminder of focusing!
WOW, I needed this today. I am going to remember it isn't all or nothing: that paralizes me in NOTHING mode. Also MAD cleaning works but LOVING your house while cleaning is so much better. Thanks Cas, you are awesome in so many ways. GOD BLESS YOU!!!
It’s 1:00am and I just woke up from (bronchitis) sleeping all day and tonight. And I tuned in to you.
Hopefully my physical MOJO will rise soon, but this video at least hit me when I needed it most!
I love this difference between " In love cleaning my House, because I love my home" and just "I hate cleaning!" This is such a good mindshift! I'll try this right now!💪
We actually call cleaning : "Loving our house" 😅
I needed this. I’m in my first trimester of pregnancy with 2 small children. I have been soooo sick the last 2 months and barely get out of bed or off the couch. But feel better when I go to work, because I’m forcing myself to accomplish something. I have just recently beeen forcing myself to do the same at home even if it’s just the bare minimum. Thank you for the motivation I need today. ❤ also in my SUPER emotional state this made me cry😢😂
I LOVE my home, and the most I love is the fact that no traffic comes down here. It is so peaceful, and that means the world to me, being a highly sensitive person. xxx
My son said to me "I want a house that makes me feel like this when I come home." Aww...
Just during this podcast i have cleaned my children's bedrooms, tidied their drawers and wardrobes and put washing away! Two carrier bags of rubbish out and now im onto hoovering the floors! Mind-blowing for me Cass and get this I think im going to carry on downstairs too thanks to you i actually have momentum!
BEST MOTIVATOR EVER!
Girl, I just want to say thank you so much! 😊 - I’m enjoying the decluttering process every step of the way. It has taken me a long time, but truly listening to your videos has made a unique difference in me. I am actually motivated, not superficially, but truly deeply motivated and inspired. I’m grateful for you and your wisdom. I always pray, I pray for motivation, for some reason your video popped up just maybe a week ago and since then, I’ve started following you and listening to more of your videos. God is good!! He is guiding your steps to help others achieve success with this never ending journey of organization and keeping a home tidy for ourselves and our loved ones. It can be very challenging for some of us for our individual situations. Happy for you and I’m truly excited to say keep it up! Thank you so much!! 🎉❤😊
This was amazing!!! Focusing on what I love about my home…thinking in terms of loving on my home…this was a true lightbulb moment! Love your channel/podcast/IG so much, Cass! Thanks for being so authentic & relatable❤️
Thanks, I actually needed this today; daylight saving time started so the dogs didn't know when to sleep and when to wake, so woke me up an hour earlier. Then I didn't have time to wash my female dog just getting over heat so my male dog was still going bonkers, and my old dog seems to need to go outside 6 times this morning, and it is dark! And they all got upset when I started working "an hour early", so I put them in crates which they didn't like either...so, maybe listen to Cass instead of all this! And I put on the headphones to block out the dog barking and it did make me smile and calm down! So after the podcast went down and cleaned up the kitchen a little, and now it is an hour later and the dogs have calmed down. So it is better. Some points on travel- I used to travel for work 4 days a week and learned to immediately start the wash upon getting home, so within about 12 hours it is mostly done. I work from home now, but like to do laundry now once a week, usually on Sundays since that is the first day of the week- have a cutoff of laundry and do every spec of it, so it is "done" once a week. So then it becomes a "weekly" task, and I try to get weekly tasks like bathing the dog done before Friday, so literally Saturday is a "rest" day with all the weekly tasks done. I have weekly tasks at work as well and try to get all those done early in the week, then Saturdays is my rest day! But yes, I do love my house for the space it provides, so taking care of it is great advice!
I’m back on again for some meditative cleaning! So true! Cass, your makeup is beautiful, matte, natural colors - so gentle 😊
I bought the wire shelves that I think you put in your daughter's bathroom or somewhere. I bought a set for my daughter's bathroom and it's transformed her bathroom. I just hung my set. Cant wait to organize that area. Great motivation and reminder of the blessing our house/ space is.
Thank you Cas, I love both of your channels ❤️ Your advice is crystal clear, & your voice is calming & motivating at the same time 😁
Sorry, I am very Grateful for our home. We gave up our house in 2009, specifically in August of 2009. The only bathroom, we have is big. My kitchen has a dishwasher, my husband gave me because of my carpul pain.
After hearing you say about the fact that we will be eating in the plates and using the mugs again. I want to decluter the dishes that are heavy for my hands. Go and buy new ones to gifts to my home, that are all dishwasher safe ❣️ and light on my hands ❣️🫧🪶🫧🪶🎈🪶🪁🌬🪽🪶🪶🪶
I have been following you for awhile now but this is, hands down, the video that speaks to me the most. Thank you for this perspective shift that i needed so much!
I’ve been purging for a few days. I’m not sure who said it, but I continually hear….don’t put it down, put it away. You’re so helpful! Thanks for sharing and giving us a kick in the pants!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cas said that on a recent video I watched. It has been so helpful!! “Don’t put it down, put it away!” She is such a blessing!
I tend live in the “all or nothing” mindset. Been paralyzed by depression for a while. Just trying to survive the day to day, but nothing gets done beyond that. Your words were exactly what I needed to hear to get me up and going. Thank you for giving me the insight to fight my inner bully and push through the perfectionism block.
Cass, it was a Godsend that I found this particular episode today! I cleaned our huge walk-in shower (most dreaded job in the house) while listening, and it went so much easier than it usually does. It was an actual “miracle” 😂 Thank you so much! I don’t know how you knew, but that was exactly the level of motivation I needed.
Bless you, my Dear 🙏🏽💖😍
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed some support and encouragement today to help me get "unstuck". But most importantly, to let go of feeling like a failure because I'm feeling so completely overwhelmed...💗💗💗
Im gonna listen to this on a loop as I try to clean. Its so motivating tbh
Thanks Cass, great video, so powerful and motivational! Really helped to dispel the hang ups I have about my home sometimes. It taught me that cleaning is a system, a process and it's not about the end result! 😊
Watching this again because it’s just too good! Thanks Cas! ❤
You have a very busy life. Having a break is good because our body will force us to take a break. But yes, mojo is great
It’s hard because my baby is sick and I can’t clean even when I want to. But I know it’s just a virus and she’ll be better soon. It’s such a good reminder to try to focus on the positives ❤
I love this video! This is at least the 3rd time I have watched/listened for motivation and inspiration while I clean and declutter. I’d love to see a playlist of your Mojo videos. 😊
Laundry today. 3 loads done 3 in the works right now.
I watched this today because I was in the no mojo. I searched for all the trash while I had you ‘in my ear😅’and then it snow balled to tidying up the things that were out of their home. I just sat down to let you know I DID IT BECAUSE OF YOU!!! 💙
I'm so happy for you!
This is awesome. Thank you Cas. I tend to lean tto the negative, this reminds me to be positive.
Thank you thank you thank you! Cas, this was awesome!! I bookmarked this to have it ready for next time I’m in this same funk. You have no idea how good this made me feel today. You are the best!!!💜
I still have my Christmas tree up. I need to take it down but I would rather do other things
Some people enjoy it being up longer because the lights in the dark winter nights are comforting. But come Spring and Summer the sun takes over. Everyone has their own personal reason for leaving it up longer or taking it down as soon as Christmas day is over. You'll do it when your ready too.
😂Leave it up! Head to Hobby Lobby or wherever and grab Spring decorations and make it your Spring tree!
When I tend to get a bit ungrateful about my life or my apartment I think about how lucky I am that my four children have beds, bedrooms, I have a 2 minute walk to work, I have a dish washer and a washing mashine. 😅 I have a beautiful home (most of the time) and I always find a way to be grateful. I am very lucky even if I really wished I had a house and a garden. But hey, who knows? I always try to keep my home clean and beautiful for me and my children that are very proud to bring friends over and that to me is golden ❤🌸
Thank you for this Podcast Cass, I listened to this yesterday as I cleaned my 13 years old daughter's room! I am still not done but I am doing a small chunk at a time!
Love you! You have helped me so much! Thank you forever!I ridded75% of stuff!
Btw your skin looks flawless 🤩 i want a skin care rutin video pls. Girl you are glowing 🥳😍🌺
Oh my gosh! This was exactly me! We went to Disney world and universal for 7 days on March 25. When I got back I did almost nothing for a week. I was so exhausted from the trip and the leading up to the trip and I needed a break
Yes Im ready to tap into my mini German Shepherd Pups MOJO !!😁😮😒🤣
thank you so much!! Your video motivated me to get going on my bedroom and all these damn clothes I have! I love the idea of loving your home❤ beautiful ❤
I really dislike being interrupted, when I finally get busy. It is such a motivation killer! 😩 It makes me frustrated, grumpy and depressed.
I think we’re not lucky we are blessed I love your show thank you
One of your best! Thanks Cas.. ❤
What a great perspective, Cas! Thank you so much for making this podcast. This approach really worked for me.
This is so powerful and I'm only half way through it! I have saved it to revisit when I can take action. I do love my home no matter what it looks like! It's my refuge!
I really needed this one today after dealing with some recent health issues that have slowed me down!
I have a laundry day so I do like that it is done one day a week. I may feel different about laundry if I had a washer dryer in my dwelling but I either use a shared laundry room or the Laundromat
Listened to this twice in a row in the car yesterday. I need this pep talk on the daily! You’re the best, Cass!! ❤
I put a Christmas bow on a Halloween wreath and that's still on my front door!
Yes!!! ❤ Love this so much!
Cas, thanks for reminding everyone to have a spirit of gratitude! I started listening to this as i pulled in from a Costco run...body doubled with you to clean out my fridge so I could put away groceries AND had a grateful spirit that my family will be fed this week. ❤❤
This has been so perfect today thank you! I've just had such a hard time today and many days getting moving. Thank you so much for bringing to attention to having gratitude and loving on our house. This really helps. Grab a couple trash bags, grab your one wonder cleaner and a rag and "love clean" your house!
Thank you, Cass.
I love your videos if I've lost my mojo this is the one I come to you all ways manage to explain the mojo thank you cos I've lost my mojk and now I've found it thank you to your videos ❤❤❤
I started in my bedroom with my clothes and closet. It had some bullies still hanging on that were from my days of having a office job when I was younger and had more energy and money, now I’m lucky enough that I tend towards a lot more casual and more comfortable clothes and I don’t remember the last time I even thought about wearing these clothes. So they are in the donation bin now. I got enough free hangers for my clean clothes that were laying on top of a dresser to now hang in the closet and fit better. I also got a load of clothes started in the laundry project process. (Day earlier than I usually do, but the schedule is to remind myself to check the clothes bins.) And the bathroom is cleaner. Now I’m resting in a rocking chair with my heating pad on my back too. About to listen to an audiobook, podcast, or some music next. It’s a good day.
Thanks so much Cas. 🇨🇦
Thanks for this!
I cleaned my fridge and finally threw out a cracked soup bowl 🥣 I’d been keeping because…? 🤷🏼♀️
Love you Cas! I have watched you from way back an d found you recently! You have developed Into major perfection!!! Keep up the great work! You are a blessing in my days. ❤🤤. I also love the little bonus in the end ! Love your tough love videos! God bless! No
I just put this podcast on (and haven't finished it yet) and I immediately got to work because I KNEW you'd motivate me! So, when you mentioned about getting a trash bag I shouted to my phone "I already have mine!!"❤🎉😅😊
❤love your channel thank you for sharing your thoughts I'm going to get things done today
