Did we AVOID EVICTION in this HOARDED HOME?

This is the final episode in this series of Julie's home. Were we able to avoid eviction after my helpers and I spent a total of about 228 hours helping to clean and organize?
My mom and I "finish" the family room area as best we can by sorting and organizing things into categories. Then we surprise the homeowner by continuing on down the hall and organizing a space for her to sort her jewelry supplies and also clean up the downstairs bathroom. Is it going to be enough to give her the jump start needed to continue on her own?
Thank you to my wonderful members, subscribers, and viewers for your support in watching this series and for your donations which helped me to supply the pod so we would have a space for the homeowner to sort and organize. I really appreciate your kindness and generosity!

Over the years, I have been the recipient of many well meaning people, giving me things. I was a single mother of 4 girls after my husband passed away. People gave me clothes and things I could sell in a yard sale, which didnt always sell, and that began my collection of stuff until the next yardsale. I held on to things, thinking it would eventually sell. My sweet neighbor left her entire house and all her possessions to me when she passed away, now leaving me under so much stuff. I am gradually getting rid of things and not depending on a yardsale. Finding a home for things has been difficult but it feels really good when things go out the door. You worked so hard in this house! Keep in mind you gave all that you had to give and don't beat yourself up for doing what you've done. You did an awesome job!!!! You should be so proud that you gave your time to help. No matter what the end result was, you need to give yourself credit for all your hard work. It was not wasted time and I know she appreciated all the work that you did. This was a great video!!!!!

Put yourself first Bonnie. Being an empath around negativity is very draining. This house in particular has been greatly improved but really needs way more help for the person to overcome hoarding. That is not due to failure on your part.you did amazingly. I hope you will soon be feeling better and we will all see you again soon.

I was encouraged to see that the owner had gone through the tower of shoes. I wish her the best and hope she can avoid eviction. Love you so much, and I relate to the KZfaq struggle. You've made a huge difference in my life, and I love you. You've never disappointed me.

Thank you, Mira. You have always been gracious and kind. I know that I didn't disappoint you with the scrapbook room. I just have a picture in my head when I go into a room and, when it doesn't turn out like that, I feel incomplete. And I know we aren't done either. Now that I have freed up some time this month because I did cancel that lady I was telling you about that was going to take so much time and energy, I can actually come up probably a couple more days this month and really get your scrapbook room in order. But I will probably give you a week or so in between coming up so that you have time to go through and Purge things as we pull them out. I think I expected too much in a short period of time and that's just not possible when there is so much for you to go through before we can really organize it. Anyway, I will be in touch! Love you, friend! ❤️

Bonnie, a reply is never expected by me, so please don't feel the need to reply. If you need to charge for the cleaning jobs, but still are able to film them, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that you would still have an audience. It doesn't have to be a free clean for me to watch. Many KZfaqrs have sponsors, and their subscribers don't seem to mind or unsubscribe. You're honest about who you are, and it's a big reason why we watch your videos. If you show cleaning videos where you say you also got paid for all of your hard work -- no big deal, I'd still watch them. Aurikatariina has sponsors, and I watch all of her videos. I'd watch yours too.😊 I love to organize for other people and clean whatever spaces they let me clean up. Your videos inspire me, truly. With that said, if you need to take a break from videos to earn a living, then go do just that. If we self care, we can care for others better. What do the flight training instructions always say?...put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others. If you can't breathe, how can you expect to help someone else breathe? Do what you gotta do, we'll be here. Final thought: you and your mom are awesome!

I'm definitely not done with KZfaq. I have moments where I wonder what in the world I'm doing, but ultimately I think I would miss it too much. I just need to focus on the good I'm doing and not spend too much time thinking about the things that I can't change, like the homeowners. Thank you for also reminding me that this helps to motivate others to clean their homes, especially getting to peek into homes like this that have gotten so unmanageable. ❤️🙏

I comment on videos maybe once a year at most. Just wanted to say, I had got myself into a situation of complete cleaning paralysis due to a combination of factors- some of the same factors that people you have cleaned for struggle with as well. I hit a point of desperation earlier today and searched for ‘extreme cleaning’ and your videos came up. I watched two of them while psyching myself up to just START CLEANING. The way you talk to and about your clients, and seeing how a mess of the same sort as mine evaporates under your hands, finally made me get up and just start. I watched another one when I took a break earlier and now I’m watching more of them to wind down ready to get back at it tomorrow. My kitchen is finally clean. It has been months. I hope you choose to do whatever makes you happiest; if that doesn’t end up being cleaning videos, so be it - but I did just want to add my voice to the chorus of people telling you that you are making a difference for us just by doing what you do and sharing the process with us. A lot of the time I feel like I just have no idea where to begin because I am scared of getting it wrong, but watching you just dive in with enthusiasm and scrubbing and even admit when you wish you’d done something differently, makes me feel like ‘heck, I may as well have a go at it’. I am not exaggerating when I say that I was working with, on average, 10cm squared of available counter space. Today I finally got to remember what it was like cooking a meal in an actual kitchen rather than a chaos dump. Thankyou so much.

Wow, I don't even know what to say. You made me feel so good. 🥹❤️🙏I have been reminded so much these last few days that my videos aren't just about the people I help, but that other people are getting some value from them and tackling their own messes. I don't feel like I articulate things very well or explain my process very well all the time, but I'm so happy to hear that you are at least gaining some perspective on things, that you aren't in this alone, and that it really starts with just moving things around and figuring out what's there and doing just a little bit each day. And it sounds like you have learned that there is no wrong way to do it. I used to get a lot of comments in the first few months of my videos that I was cleaning something wrong and it used to really bother me because it's not like I'm a trained professional. I just like to do this stuff for fun and, to me, it doesn't matter how you get there. Then other people started pointing that out as well, and I like that I can show it doesn't have to be done exactly like a professional would do it. Sometimes it's messy, but you have to do it in a way that works for YOU. Better is better no matter how you got there. 😊Anyway, thank you so much for your comment and I'm so happy to hear that you are starting to make progress with your own home. Best of luck to you!🙏🥰

New to your channel, but came from Midwest Magic Cleaning and I love it! As you grow, your community will understand that you can’t be everywhere at once. It’s just basic math. I know the algorithm gods can be harsh, but hang in there because word is getting around. I will now be bingeing every video you’ve ever made. ❤

@ABeautifulMessExtremeCle-zl1wp 4 ай бұрын

Aw, thank you! And I had to laugh when you talked about the algorithm Gods because I was just talking to Mack yesterday about how we should do a video of something that represents the algorithm and us bringing sacrifices to it and worshiping this algorithm God because that is what it feels like sometimes, like, "Have we displeased you in some way algorithm? How can we make it right?" 😅 Mack and I have a very similar sense of humor so it was fun to laugh about that for a minute. A word of warning if you are binging all of my videos... the first three or four I put music in and some of it was very obnoxious.🤦‍♀️ I seriously had no idea what I was doing, but that was a less than a year ago, so I have come a long way, a lot of that thanks to Mack.😊 I wish I could go back and redo those, but that's not really how this works. Anyway, thank you so much for being here and that's sweet of you that you are going to go watch my other videos.💖🙏

Bonnie- I enjoy watching you and your mom. My 2 cents- that project was waaaaay too much especially for free. Of course you are burned out- no great reward at the end right? No sense of completion. Remember you have to put your own oxygen mask on first before you can help others. Maybe you can take some “normal” paid cleaning jobs and only take on manageable , free jobs a couple of times a month. You are so caring but do t forget to care for yourself 💕

You are much too hard on yourself. Think about how far ahead of the issue you were able to take this home, not how much more you had wanted to do. The homeowner is closer to a house that has more function than previously, and it is all because of YOU! Everyone appreciates you and is in your corner. You need to be in your own corner, because you deserve it. Good on your mom for helping you to remember how to have fun. She is a treasure!

You are not too bummed and down in the video! You are genuine! It's no surprise that spending so much time in a hoard is affecting you emotionally. Hoards are signals of sadness, depression, despair, illness. I swear they soak up that energy. So you're flogging through that, breaking it up.

Your childhood wasn't a lie for the pose. Your Mom was way ahead of her time! There is a scene from Grey's Anatomy that talks about a study that says a "superhero pose" provides benefits. The pose is very similar to the pose you do. From that scene it states if you stand in the superhero pose for 5 mins before a big task you will do much better and feel better going that task. I googled "superhero pose" and there's all kind of benefits! You can keep doing it.😊

When I’m “down” and that’s been a lot as I care for my 86 year old mom with Alzheimer’s 24/7, am disabled myself and can be physically, mentally and emotionally exhausting most days. Late at night when the world is asleep, I clean, organize, declutter, etc. I know it sounds stupid but at least I feel like I’m accomplishing something, something else to focus on and it does help to have a fresh perspective.You’ve done an amazing job with your mom and the homeowner❤.

One of the things about Auri is that she focuses on the fun in cleaning and I think she picks houses that aren’t large and crammed to the roof. What you are doing is such a godsend, and I want you to know that you’ve done everything you could in the time you have. Maybe one of your clients will be ungrateful or just so buried in their own problems they just go right back, it’s not worth taking all that in and feeling badly. You’ve done this fantastic job, we all can see it, not perfect but it’s progress, and we hope your client can move forward, if not then it’s outside what you should expect anyway. Your mom is totally cool!

How about your own cleaning company? You can definitely do that right? Also, you have to remember to cleanse your energy. Empaths especially have to. Go to the beach get in the water, walk barefoot in nature, that’s called grounding, meditate, do positive affirmations. Salt baths. Get protection crystals. And just pray. 🙏

I initially thought about starting a cleaning company, but that's a whole different kind of stress and a lot of training and hoops to jump through to get licenses, etc. I think if I can just do two or three paid jobs each month until things pick back up with KZfaq, we should be okay. Plus, I forget that we do have the option of taking out equity on our home if we really needed to. It's just a little rough patch, but I do need to take some time for myself.😊🙏

Besides taking money from our 401K, that would be the very last thing we would do because we are pretty frugal and aren't afraid of finding unconventional ways to get by, but it is a nice thought to know that, if things were absolutely turned upside down, we do have that as one option.

You are absolutely right. Some lessons I have to learn the harder way, but I have learned a ton from working on this house and how to set boundaries.

It was so hard to tell her I wasn't going to be able to help after all and I felt a little guilty about it at first, but after a few minutes, I just felt this huge weight lift off me. So, I can say no, and it's okay. And you're absolutely right about God's timing. He is the reason I started this channel and, even though I don't understand why I have to go through some rough times when I'm trying to help His other children, I can look back and see the lessons that I've learned and know that it's ultimately for my benefit.

I'm so glad to get an update and to hear that it's working for you! I have tried for almost a year to get my friend, Tisha, to go on it, but I think she has some reservations as does her doctor just because it's not a widely studied thing. But it's completely safe and has had a lot of research done about it, so I'm not sure what the holdup is. I have told her it has been life-changing for me as well. In fact, I forgot to get a refill last month and so I've just been stretching out what I have and ran out about 3 days ago and I can tell. It mostly helps with my joint pain. I have back pain that is a separate issue and it does help with that, but not the same extent as all of my joints. Anyway, I'm so glad it has worked for you and thanks for the update!🤗💖

Well, I wasn't able to show you the after footage of what it looked like when we were finally "done" since she canceled on me the last day that I was supposed to be there. The Saturday that I was up there for the yard sale, I walked through the house and it honestly did not look that much different from when we started. 🤦‍♀️There might have been a little bit more organization to it, but it was definitely still very unsafe and still quite a fire hazard. It is such a sad and terrible disorder. I have a hard time wrapping my brain around it because I don't understand how things cannot stay organized for even a few days. If she does manage to pass the inspection, it will probably be because she has taken everything to another storage unit for the inspection and will just bring it right back or because she has just boxed everything up and stacked it, but will just get it right back out once the inspection is done. But I really hope I'm wrong about that.
