It'd be fun to see you help your husband go through all his stuff in the basement. If he doesn't want to be on camera maybe shoot it like you do with your kids? Basement videos are my favorite. Seeing you help others with their hoarding would be really neat to see.
Yesssss!! I love this idea and it would have to be like my kid’s videos! He is pretty introverted and private so I have to respect his boundaries ❤️🙏🏼❤️
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 💗🙏
My Husband retires this week. He is not sentimental and I am. He wants to get rid of most of our stuff. I would like to hear you speak on this topic. I would like to keep declutterring without the pressure of doing things his way. Talking about communication and working together when people have different ways of doing things. I would really appreciate that. God bless us all on our journey.
I just found out my hours at work are being drastically cut very soon. Your positivity about your own job loss really helped me put things into perspective ❤️. I am going to be ok because, like you said, this door may be closing so another opportunity can open up for me. 😊 Wishing you all the best with your channel and future plans!!
Positivity is so powerful! But please don't over-extend yourself and be reasonable with yourself. Although you have more time, it will get filled quickly! So be gentle with yourself. :)
😀 Declutter and have AS MANY YARD SALES AS YOU CAN! Donate everything at end of sale each week. You can finally finish your house!!! Make and sell your crafts! ❤
Crafts RARELY pay for the time put into them. They do however make personal and thoughtful gifts, and save the money that would have otherwise been spent
@@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
Don’t forget to apply for unemployment!! You could save a lot of money with the combination of a severance package and unemployment. I experienced that several years ago and it was a blessing, especially having the summer off with my kids.
Good tip! Also- while you are waiting for unemployment to begin you may qualify for Food Assistance and Medical Assistance. In many states, once your child is approved, they will be approved for a full calendar year.
Thank you so much my friend!! I need to look into that bc I believe I have to received my severance package before I can apply?! I still get 1 more paycheck next week with that 1 week. That’s the check I receive the severance package ❤️🙏🏼❤️
You may be able to stage your unemployment and severance package (time them). Please check this out so that you don’t leave money on the table. Please get some true legal advice to see if possible - Best of wishes for you!!!
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.
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 ❤️🙏🏼❤️
@@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!
Was wondering a little when you went through the items you collected at the office. So happy to hear that you got some severance, and hope everything works out well when you have digested it a bit more. You’ve got this!
Oh yes, I was wondering if someone was going to pick up on that!! Your intuition is spot on! And yes, there’s another load that came home after the basement video.
I’d really love to see you go through the items in the basement that you haven’t gone through yet. I think it would be great because then you will have all your rough organization complete 🙂
You are the creator of a successful Utube channel, you are not in the same place as the last time. You can really focus on your channel and keep growing it. It might be a blessing, although it might not feel like that now.
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!
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 agree! I love seeing everything becomming more organized. Sometimes it's nice to hear why you do or don't throw something out. But mainly I love watching it all!
Same! No voiceover needed, though I do like hearing about the sentimental stuff, why you're keeping or letting go. And same, I just love seeing the progress being made! ❤
This is truly your chance to move forward! The opportunity to focus on the channel and to focus on your health!! Hugs to you!! This is a new beginning 🎉🎉
I would love a video aimed at kids, showing them why it is ok to throw away or donate toys and craft items that aren't their favorites, with a focus on how good it feels to have a bedroom with enough space to play in it, and how easy it is to put things away when there are less things in the room. How a child can get started cleaning when they feel like it is so messy that it's overwhelming and impossible to do on their own.
I love that!!! I can do that with Tyler my youngest!! My Brandon is a teenager and doesn’t want to be on camera anymore…he’s more of a behind the scenes guy!! lol
Exciting! I am glad to hear you are feeling positive! I would like to see you start helping others, like Carla Project, The Space Maker Method, A Beautiful Mess or Peeling Away the Clutter.
Maybe a coaching course? I still haven't found someone talking about the aftermath of decluttering or cleaning the hoard. I get feelings of sadness and emptiness, and not the high that others seem to get. If you would talk about that, I would really appreciate it.
This is so spot on!!!! I feel the same way…it always felt emptied & lonely after I decluttered. It’s taken a lot of self work and changing my thoughts to start to appreciate the open spaces. A great topic indeed!!! Thank you!!
Not going to lie, but I had a suck-in air moment when I read your title. I am sorry to hear about your lay off. It seems I hear this more and more. But hearing you talk about blessings and looking for them everyday, I know you are going to be fine. This is the next chapter in your life. You are going to do great things. And thank you for being a positive light. ☺
I’m curious about how you organize your time? Can you do a video about that? It’s a monster struggle for me and I would find it very helpful. Thank you in advance!❤ I’m proud of you, btw and your progress! I sorry about the loss of your job (my family JUST got over a similar struggle); at the same time, I really do believe that this is more of a blessing and an opportunity than a curse. I pray you are full time living your dream long before the end of the summer!❤
Check out frugal fit mom for cheap ways to feed your family. Hit up your local food bank. Take a few days to enjoy being a stay at home family. Look for an evening job for yourself that u can keep when hubby goes back to work to get your savings back on track, or make an emergency fund. Google Erin resume and you'll probably find the woman with long blond hair who has lots of current career advice. I hope some of these suggestions are useful to u.
In 1984 I lost my job, I got another post at the same company and they paid for me to do the training at IBM to become a programmer... it was a career I had always wanted to try... I was very successful and very happy Good luck with whatever and wherever the door that opens for you leads to....
Sorry for the loss of your job. Please do continue to declutter and organize. Positive is focus on your channel and do more videos Nice your boss gave you money that will help you through the summer
Yes! Now that you are feeling better, which thank goodness you were able to have your surgeries in time, you have so much time to finish the basement and finally have a crafting room by the start of fall!! I think I would like you to talk more about finances and community building!!
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).
Ouch- what a rough surprise; I'm sorry you lost your job. I love that you are able to acknowledge your feelings and look at the open doors. I'd love more discussion on processing fear and healing through it, tools to move forward, and healing impulse spending
I’ve been reading some of the comments and agree with all of them. This is your time to shine and have the time to do the things you wanted to do with your channel and with helping others. It would be fun to see your basement finally become the area that you wanted it to become! I remember seeing you at the beginning when you were hiding behind your phone and getting rid of hardly anything; but you were taking those small healing steps! Look where you are now! You will be helping others; and who knows, you might have a platform for speaking engagements in the future and/or writing a book about your journey from hoarding to tidy!Wishing you all the best!❤Patti
I would love to hear about grocery budgeting and meal planning. But am also so excited to continue following your decluttering journey. Look, you just decluttered your job! 😜
I hope that you will be able to get all that you want to get done in this time. Stick with a routine so you dont slip into a depression. You got this!!! I would love to know your faith Journey and how you became a Christian I love hearing people's testimonies and the Lord's work in their lives.
Thank you so much,it was a comfort lissing to you. 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. Now Waiting for a new door to open
I'm so sorry you lost your job, but happy for you that you'll turn your bright light toward other things! I love your videos and you're so sweet. I always love a good declutter!
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!!!
So sorry about the job loss. Have you considered writing a book? I think you would do great at it, considering how much compassion you have and that you have lived what so many others are going through.
I got laid off in 2022 and I was shocked and heartbroken. One month later I landed one of my dream jobs. It truly is one door closes another opens- its an opportunity to change your life for the better. Plus you have the gift of freedom and time! I am so excited to see what this next chapter brings for you, and I am SO proud of you for facing these difficult emotions head on. As my late cousin once said, “I know god’s working so I smile.”
For RUclips ideas: Waiting for your house organisation ideas, revisiting places decluttered before, sharing flower garden projects, no spend challenges. I'm glad you're healthy 💝 You're in my prayers. God bless you. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland ☀️
Well if that isn’t another surprise on top of your surgeries. I really think you have a great mindset for this change. Wishing you well! By the way you make such cute decorations with your supplies.
I really want to see you declutter so much that your hoard fits in the Christmas Cave. I want to see you craft the shit out of your crafting supplies. I want to see what you ultimately decide to do with displaying or not your childhood memorabilia. I want to see you do yard sales. I want to see you get involved in hobbies and show us all that. If you try other income opportunities, I want to see that as well.
It is great that you are debt free except for your mortgage and have savings. This will be a great time to get hoarders heart moving more in the direction you want.
Hi, if you would like some Input for future topics to talk about: I would love to watch a „behind the scenes“ video with an explanation of how you come up with new ideas for the next video and the process of shooting the footage, recording voiceovers, choosing a thumbnail, cutting, choosing the music etc. Keep your positive attitude und enjoy the fresh Start!😊
I love your crafts-from-your-stash! I'm hoping your expansion of HH can be enough to meet your financial needs. Maybe you can sell some of the surplus?
I had seen in the newspaper advice column last year where a guy was cleaning out his Mother’s hoarded home after she died…he brought stuff to his home to go through it at his convenience…and then found his wife had thrown it out behind his back…and he wanted to go through it first! 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. A good topic for your channel…how to deal with other people in your family or others who aren’t respectful of boundaries and also supportive of helping someone through this issue…knowing how to deal with things like that 😀🌞👍
Wow what a disrespectful and unloving spouse that man has. So sad. That stuff is irreplaceable. That is very selfish of his spouse. Poor man has to deal not only with the loss of his mother, and any tangible thing of hers he may have wanted to keep but also a selfish, disrespectful wife too boot. Wow
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!
Your boss is throwing Gold away (you)! But you will manage! You must take Care of yourself. Enjoy the summer and declutter the rest of the basement. I would love to see you declutter your craftstuff. (My own biggest problem) I Wish you all the best. I am sure you will get a new job when you need it. The Universe will provide you when you need it. Big hug to you ❤❤❤
🌺🌺🌺You always reach me with what you say in such a meaningful way, that makes perfect sense. Oh what a blessed and exciting path the Universe had gifted you. You put things across so beautifully about your experience with hoarding disorder. Of course among many opportunities, you could make time to write that book. A healing tool for you and for others. Wahoohoo!🌺🌺🌺
I loved the craft flower pots and the pallet -- you have such a great eye. I am eager to see your creativity bloom in this season of change and opportunities.
I would so love to see an instructional video on how you make jewelry. Bracelets or earrings. If you had a jewelry shop, I would definitely love to be a customer. ♥💞💍
What a beautiful outlook! When God closes one book he opens another. Can we do more content about the scarcity mindset vs the abundant. I’m looking for the joy in life every day now. More happiness and more thriving. Thank you ❤
I am so happy you give God all the praise and glory. It sounds like you are in the right mindset to move forward. I could hear your faith in God about days, weeks, months ahead. 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.
You are a classy gal! You are graceous and kind, appreciating the amazing times you have had with your boss. You now have time to chose your own future, I wish you well xx
I guess you don't have the same laws as we have in the UK. Here employers can't lay you off without going through a specific process and it takes months so they'd definitely have to pay your wages for that time, it wouldn't be any kind of favour at all. I'm glad you got a severance package anyway. You're very resourceful so I hope you'll be ok with finding another income and not going down the hoarding route again. Perhaps it is a test from God so you can prove to yourself how much you've recovered. Good luck for your future Miss Heart, you do a lot of good in the world and I hope some of it flows back to you now in your time of need 💖
Just food for thought - I see the photographs you display as decor of family are out of date. I believe from personal experience this is a symptom of hoarding as it hanging on to items. You can easily update these and break another barrier of hoarding mindset. And your growing boys may appreciate knowing mommy doesn’t just see them as her little babies anymore, rather boys growing into well loved young men.
The decluttering is my fave but I’d also like to see food budget. Will you be cutting down on the snacks. Things like that. I used to have multiple chip, cheese puff, pretzel options and with the crazy prices I only buy one item at a time now and the portions I hand out are smaller.
I would like to hear about your new income streams and the search for that. You are not alone. Some folks hoard or clutter because they don't like their job. Or have a caustic job/boss life. Throughout this journey you have had a good job/boss. whatever you decide to film is good by me. best wishes!!!
I love all of your videos. I love it when you are chatty on a topic, but sometimes I would also like to know the stories behind what you find as you are searching. So instant reaction instead of voice over like some of your older videos. I also love the decorate and crafts, but decluttering is by far my favorite. I would also like to see your homemaking a bit more. Just anything and everything, honestly. Lol. 🦄 🎉
You’re such a lovely person to look past your own concerns and be happy for your boss and his family. You’ve learned and developed so much (eg. no spend challenges) that I’m sure you and your family will be fine.
You have a great mind set , gosh I lost my first job after 10 years I was so depressed I then had a child which saved me but like you said one door closes another opens yep 👍🏻 scored a new job when my son was 15 months walked straight into it 27 years later with that job wow 👍🏻👍🏻good luck
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.
I lost my job due to the pandemic but was close enough to retirement, I started a couple of years early. Now I work occasional odd jos. God provides. I would like to see continued help on influencing children to avoid hoarding and more info on the no spend challenge.
It’s so sad how common layoffs are nowadays. It’s happened to me twice too. The first time was very unexpected and scary. The second time wasn’t as bad. I definitely think this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for you.
Oh I'm so sorry you are going through this as it really does create such a shock to the system. You are amazing and you will do a phenomemal job whatever you choose to do next!!!
I LOVE your positivity! Yes, the Lord certainly could be opening these doors to you to bless others and take Hoarders Heart to the next level. I can’t wait to see what you do in the next few months!!! 🎉❤
I thought something like this was going on when you brought all the stuff from work back to the house. I am happy to see you so upbeat re the changes in your work life. I think you have a gift for A Hoarders Heart to grow into something that would be totally amazing. Take it slow and keep up with transforming the basement etc. and then set up your crafting area that you don't have to dismantle when it is time for dinner (just kidding I still do that.) and enjoy this time in your life.
No scarcity mindset. We retired from FT work in 2002. Found PT work for a while. Been fully retired for years now. You don't need much. Tina, Al's wife
You get it guuurrrl!!💖 Would love to hear more about why you started to make the changes needed to stop hoarding and the first steps you took. Can't wait to see you next videos!
The way you're processing thru this life event shows how much you've learned and healed from your journey. You will do great! Embrace the opportunities.
That must be tough, being made redundant in this economy. What’s worse, is (I’m British so I’m not exactly sure how it works) that healthcare insurance in the US is done through work? So how do you guys access healthcare during times of unemployment? On the bright side, I know you’ve had a fortnight to come to terms with what’s happening before telling us, which is why you might sound so positive, but it’s nice to see you so positive and crafting again. I know you love crafting so hopefully, you’ll get more time to do it, especially if you can pop it in a video like this and make some revenue off of it. I’d like to talk about anxiety. Today actually, I was prescribed anti-anxiety meds for the first time, but I do the opposite thing when I’m anxious, I do a big declutter and chuck loads of stuff out as it makes me feel in control of my space
I am so excited to watch all the stuff you're gonna be able to do now with your good health and time. This was your best most uplifting video yet and it seems like you already know you have nothing to worry about because you have sooo much to offer. As far as topics, I really want to see you curate your home to be exactly how you want it.
Sometimes the things in life we are not expecting turn out to be the biggest blessings….i assume you are also entitled to unemployment…..you can be a blessing by doing more with you tube and helping others with hoarding….you are the most empathetic speaker I have ever heard…you can help so many 😘❤️
It'd be fun to see you help your husband go through all his stuff in the basement. If he doesn't want to be on camera maybe shoot it like you do with your kids? Basement videos are my favorite. Seeing you help others with their hoarding would be really neat to see.
It would be great hearing his perspective!! Maybe he'll just toss everything, or maybe he'll be super sentimental, who knows? ❤
Yesssss!! I love this idea and it would have to be like my kid’s videos! He is pretty introverted and private so I have to respect his boundaries ❤️🙏🏼❤️
YES to how to help a hoarder declutter!!

@@ludwigvonmiseswasright4380 It is a way to use up the supplies she ALREADY owns. She can enjoy her hobby and move items out of the house.
lol!!! I LOVE IT 💗💗💗 I LOVE the idea of selling my crafts!!!
@@ludwigvonmiseswasright4380 no for her this would literally have a pay off.

Literally perfect!! GO ALL IN 😁 lol
This would be the perfect time to go full time into helping other hoarders!
Perhaps but, she is not healed as a hoarder yet. So helping others should come after helping herself
@@annahaaland Or she's *healed enough* to help others, as she does here. It's up to her.
I was thinking the same thing!
My thoughts also
Amen
It would be wonderful if you could turn your talents helping others into a full time job! You’re so gifted ❤
Yes.
That is my dream my friend ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I would like to have you talk on out-of-sight items. Please tackle the attic!
Oh I love that!!! Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Don’t forget to apply for unemployment!! You could save a lot of money with the combination of a severance package and unemployment. I experienced that several years ago and it was a blessing, especially having the summer off with my kids.
Severance pay may offset any unemployment pay.
In many states, you can get severance pay and unemployment at the same time. Check with your state.
Good tip! Also- while you are waiting for unemployment to begin you may qualify for Food Assistance and Medical Assistance. In many states, once your child is approved, they will be approved for a full calendar year.
Thank you so much my friend!! I need to look into that bc I believe I have to received my severance package before I can apply?! I still get 1 more paycheck next week with that 1 week. That’s the check I receive the severance package ❤️🙏🏼❤️

@CammyHell YES! No music please!!!!!! I personally only subscribe to chatty channels (no music). I love hearing your voice!❤️
Please don't add music! ❤

Thank you so so much my friend 🦄💜🌟🙏🏼 I feel like that too!!!
Going through the last Boxes and then organizing the crafts 😍
I would love a video aimed at kids, showing them why it is ok to throw away or donate toys and craft items that aren't their favorites, with a focus on how good it feels to have a bedroom with enough space to play in it, and how easy it is to put things away when there are less things in the room. How a child can get started cleaning when they feel like it is so messy that it's overwhelming and impossible to do on their own.
I love that!!! I can do that with Tyler my youngest!! My Brandon is a teenager and doesn’t want to be on camera anymore…he’s more of a behind the scenes guy!! lol
Exciting! I am glad to hear you are feeling positive!
I would like to see you start helping others, like Carla Project, The Space Maker Method, A Beautiful Mess or Peeling Away the Clutter.
Heck yes!!❤
Maybe a coaching course? I still haven't found someone talking about the aftermath of decluttering or cleaning the hoard. I get feelings of sadness and emptiness, and not the high that others seem to get. If you would talk about that, I would really appreciate it.
It is very normal to feel pangs after decluttering. You are not alone ! I recommend allowing yourself to feel it and remembering why you started.
This is so spot on!!!! I feel the same way…it always felt emptied & lonely after I decluttered. It’s taken a lot of self work and changing my thoughts to start to appreciate the open spaces. A great topic indeed!!! Thank you!!
Not going to lie, but I had a suck-in air moment when I read your title. I am sorry to hear about your lay off. It seems I hear this more and more. But hearing you talk about blessings and looking for them everyday, I know you are going to be fine. This is the next chapter in your life. You are going to do great things. And thank you for being a positive light. ☺
I absolutely loved reading your message, thank you so much my friend ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I’m curious about how you organize your time? Can you do a video about that? It’s a monster struggle for me and I would find it very helpful.
Thank you in advance!❤
I’m proud of you, btw and your progress! I sorry about the loss of your job (my family JUST got over a similar struggle); at the same time, I really do believe that this is more of a blessing and an opportunity than a curse. I pray you are full time living your dream long before the end of the summer!❤
I love your faith in Christ. Trust in Him to provide. This could be such a great opportunity to share your wisdom with all of us.❤
Your timing is amazing. My husband lost his job this past week. I'm a stay at home mom. It's like the ground has been taken from out under our feet.
Best wishes.
I wish you all the very best.@caitlinavila
I’m so sorry 😢
Check out frugal fit mom for cheap ways to feed your family. Hit up your local food bank. Take a few days to enjoy being a stay at home family. Look for an evening job for yourself that u can keep when hubby goes back to work to get your savings back on track, or make an emergency fund. Google Erin resume and you'll probably find the woman with long blond hair who has lots of current career advice.
I hope some of these suggestions are useful to u.
I'm so sorry..hugs hope he gets new job soon
In 1984 I lost my job, I got another post at the same company and they paid for me to do the training at IBM to become a programmer... it was a career I had always wanted to try... I was very successful and very happy
Good luck with whatever and wherever the door that opens for you leads to....
Miss heart how about some flylady routins? I would like to see that ❤ maybe this is a good time for that
❤❤️🙏🙏👍
Thank you so much for sharing your story!!! I love it 💗💗💗
I lost my job in the pandemic and it was the best thing that ever happened to me! Good luck with the future x
Thank you for sharing with me!!! I’m so happy it was a blessing for you ❤️🙏🏼❤️
I’m so very sorry. You were his right hand, I can’t believe the new owner wouldn’t keep you on. Good luck with your future endeavors.
I'd love to discuss negative self-talk and how to be more positive about yourself!
Yes I agree that is an important topic to help so many- esp when it is balanced and not going to the other extreme.
Ohhhh…that’s a good one!!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🙏🏼❤️
Sorry for the loss of your job. Please do continue to declutter and organize. Positive is focus on your channel and do more videos Nice your boss gave you money that will help you through the summer
Yes! Now that you are feeling better, which thank goodness you were able to have your surgeries in time, you have so much time to finish the basement and finally have a crafting room by the start of fall!! I think I would like you to talk more about finances and community building!!
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).
Thank you so much my friend ❤️🙏🏼❤️ It was a blessing that I was paid sick time during my weeks off.
Ouch- what a rough surprise; I'm sorry you lost your job. I love that you are able to acknowledge your feelings and look at the open doors. I'd love more discussion on processing fear and healing through it, tools to move forward, and healing impulse spending
I would love to see you explore what the boundary between hoarding and resourcefulness looks like for you!
I’ve been reading some of the comments and agree with all of them. This is your time to shine and have the time to do the things you wanted to do with your channel and with helping others. It would be fun to see your basement finally become the area that you wanted it to become! I remember seeing you at the beginning when you were hiding behind your phone and getting rid of hardly anything; but you were taking those small healing steps! Look where you are now! You will be helping others; and who knows, you might have a platform for speaking engagements in the future and/or writing a book about your journey from hoarding to tidy!Wishing you all the best!❤Patti
I would love to hear about grocery budgeting and meal planning. But am also so excited to continue following your decluttering journey. Look, you just decluttered your job! 😜
What a wonderful positivity you spread, that's so encouraging. May God bless you abundantly in this new era of your life! Much love from Germany
I think loosing your job could be a blessing. The hours you put into the company were high. The rest will do you good.
I get it! I got laid off in late December. I got notice in October. I am now volunteering for the local animal shelter. Hugs 🫂 ❤
You got a great attitude and so much resiliency! You got this!
I hope that you will be able to get all that you want to get done in this time. Stick with a routine so you dont slip into a depression. You got this!!! I would love to know your faith Journey and how you became a Christian I love hearing people's testimonies and the Lord's work in their lives.
Thank you so much,it was a comfort lissing to you.
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.
Now Waiting for a new door to open
I'm so sorry you lost your job, but happy for you that you'll turn your bright light toward other things! I love your videos and you're so sweet. I always love a good declutter!
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 am sorry you lost your job, I hope you can find another stable source of income soon and I hope it is in something you really love
So sorry about the job loss. Have you considered writing a book? I think you would do great at it, considering how much compassion you have and that you have lived what so many others are going through.
I got laid off in 2022 and I was shocked and heartbroken. One month later I landed one of my dream jobs. It truly is one door closes another opens- its an opportunity to change your life for the better. Plus you have the gift of freedom and time! I am so excited to see what this next chapter brings for you, and I am SO proud of you for facing these difficult emotions head on. As my late cousin once said, “I know god’s working so I smile.”
For RUclips ideas: Waiting for your house organisation ideas, revisiting places decluttered before, sharing flower garden projects, no spend challenges. I'm glad you're healthy 💝 You're in my prayers. God bless you. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland ☀️
I'd love to see more of what you craft from your stash. Also I'd love to see you organizing your stash :).
You got this! You will be fine 💪🏼 I would like to see declutterring, cleaning, garage sale, making crafts, helping others with clutter problems.
To echo another comment here - sign up for unemployment!
Well if that isn’t another surprise on top of your surgeries. I really think you have a great mindset for this change. Wishing you well! By the way you make such cute decorations with your supplies.
I really want to see you declutter so much that your hoard fits in the Christmas Cave. I want to see you craft the shit out of your crafting supplies. I want to see what you ultimately decide to do with displaying or not your childhood memorabilia. I want to see you do yard sales. I want to see you get involved in hobbies and show us all that. If you try other income opportunities, I want to see that as well.
Oh I just LOVE your message!!! I FELT the energy behind it and it just motivates me so much!! Thank you!!!
It is great that you are debt free except for your mortgage and have savings. This will be a great time to get hoarders heart moving more in the direction you want.
Hi, if you would like some Input for future topics to talk about: I would love to watch a „behind the scenes“ video with an explanation of how you come up with new ideas for the next video and the process of shooting the footage, recording voiceovers, choosing a thumbnail, cutting, choosing the music etc.
Keep your positive attitude und enjoy the fresh Start!😊
I love your crafts-from-your-stash! I'm hoping your expansion of HH can be enough to meet your financial needs. Maybe you can sell some of the surplus?
P.S> You can be home with your kids this summer!
I had seen in the newspaper advice column last year where a guy was cleaning out his Mother’s hoarded home after she died…he brought stuff to his home to go through it at his convenience…and then found his wife had thrown it out behind his back…and he wanted to go through it first! 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.
A good topic for your channel…how to deal with other people in your family or others who aren’t respectful of boundaries and also supportive of helping someone through this issue…knowing how to deal with things like that 😀🌞👍
Wow what a disrespectful and unloving spouse that man has. So sad. That stuff is irreplaceable. That is very selfish of his spouse. Poor man has to deal not only with the loss of his mother, and any tangible thing of hers he may have wanted to keep but also a selfish, disrespectful wife too boot. Wow
That's the spirit! I'm certain only good things will come out of this change.
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!
Your boss is throwing Gold away (you)! But you will manage! You must take Care of yourself. Enjoy the summer and declutter the rest of the basement. I would love to see you declutter your craftstuff. (My own biggest problem) I Wish you all the best. I am sure you will get a new job when you need it. The Universe will provide you when you need it. Big hug to you ❤❤❤
I’d like to hear you talk about the best ways to help someone with hoarding disorder.
🌺🌺🌺You always reach me with what you say in such a meaningful way, that makes perfect sense. Oh what a blessed and exciting path the Universe had gifted you. You put things across so beautifully about your experience with hoarding disorder. Of course among many opportunities, you could make time to write that book. A healing tool for you and for others. Wahoohoo!🌺🌺🌺
I loved the craft flower pots and the pallet -- you have such a great eye. I am eager to see your creativity bloom in this season of change and opportunities.
I would so love to see an instructional video on how you make jewelry. Bracelets or earrings. If you had a jewelry shop, I would definitely love to be a customer. ♥💞💍
What a beautiful outlook! When God closes one book he opens another. Can we do more content about the scarcity mindset vs the abundant. I’m looking for the joy in life every day now. More happiness and more thriving. Thank you ❤
I am so happy you give God all the praise and glory. It sounds like you are in the right mindset to move forward. I could hear your faith in God about days, weeks, months ahead. 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.
Finding meaning in what you keep
You are a classy gal! You are graceous and kind, appreciating the amazing times you have had with your boss. You now have time to chose your own future, I wish you well xx
I guess you don't have the same laws as we have in the UK. Here employers can't lay you off without going through a specific process and it takes months so they'd definitely have to pay your wages for that time, it wouldn't be any kind of favour at all. I'm glad you got a severance package anyway. You're very resourceful so I hope you'll be ok with finding another income and not going down the hoarding route again. Perhaps it is a test from God so you can prove to yourself how much you've recovered. Good luck for your future Miss Heart, you do a lot of good in the world and I hope some of it flows back to you now in your time of need 💖
Just food for thought - I see the photographs you display as decor of family are out of date. I believe from personal experience this is a symptom of hoarding as it hanging on to items. You can easily update these and break another barrier of hoarding mindset. And your growing boys may appreciate knowing mommy doesn’t just see them as her little babies anymore, rather boys growing into well loved young men.
The decluttering is my fave but I’d also like to see food budget. Will you be cutting down on the snacks. Things like that. I used to have multiple chip, cheese puff, pretzel options and with the crazy prices I only buy one item at a time now and the portions I hand out are smaller.
I would like to hear about your new income streams and the search for that. You are not alone. Some folks hoard or clutter because they don't like their job. Or have a caustic job/boss life. Throughout this journey you have had a good job/boss. whatever you decide to film is good by me. best wishes!!!
I love all of your videos. I love it when you are chatty on a topic, but sometimes I would also like to know the stories behind what you find as you are searching. So instant reaction instead of voice over like some of your older videos. I also love the decorate and crafts, but decluttering is by far my favorite. I would also like to see your homemaking a bit more. Just anything and everything, honestly. Lol. 🦄 🎉
I wish you could still do some diy videos ❤ this could be the perfect opportunity to grow your channel
You’re such a lovely person to look past your own concerns and be happy for your boss and his family. You’ve learned and developed so much (eg. no spend challenges) that I’m sure you and your family will be fine.
Exactly that she was happy for the blessings of her boss shows her maturity and heart and it is much needed example for others. I was blessed by it.
You have a great mind set , gosh I lost my first job after 10 years I was so depressed I then had a child which saved me but like you said one door closes another opens yep 👍🏻 scored a new job when my son was 15 months walked straight into it 27 years later with that job wow 👍🏻👍🏻good luck
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.
Maybe Gods plan was for you to do RUclips full time and earn income of off it like Kim from the Wads
Love your crafts n how about recipes Like you said it was for a reason. Maybe because you needed the extra rest from those surgeries
I got the impression on the previous video that you were laid off. Trust in The Lord.
I lost my job due to the pandemic but was close enough to retirement, I started a couple of years early. Now I work occasional odd jos. God provides. I would like to see continued help on influencing children to avoid hoarding and more info on the no spend challenge.
Put out your declutter/organizing services for pay!!
Basement is my fav. And once I got a glimpse of the attic. Anything up there?
It’s so sad how common layoffs are nowadays. It’s happened to me twice too. The first time was very unexpected and scary. The second time wasn’t as bad. I definitely think this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise. I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for you.
I love to see you craft
Oh I'm so sorry you are going through this as it really does create such a shock to the system. You are amazing and you will do a phenomemal job whatever you choose to do next!!!
I'm so sorry, your going into a new chapter in your life.. The Lord with provide for you a door will open..God bless
It’s scary to start new but you already had big plans so now you get to go for the those dreams
God has it all in hand ❤Melanie, you can add ‘buy me a coffee to your channel!!! ❤
I LOVE your positivity! Yes, the Lord certainly could be opening these doors to you to bless others and take Hoarders Heart to the next level. I can’t wait to see what you do in the next few months!!! 🎉❤
I thought something like this was going on when you brought all the stuff from work back to the house. I am happy to see you so upbeat re the changes in your work life. I think you have a gift for A Hoarders Heart to grow into something that would be totally amazing. Take it slow and keep up with transforming the basement etc. and then set up your crafting area that you don't have to dismantle when it is time for dinner (just kidding I still do that.) and enjoy this time in your life.
No scarcity mindset. We retired from FT work in 2002. Found PT work for a while. Been fully retired for years now. You don't need much. Tina, Al's wife
Maybe crafting video in your new craft room❤🎉
You get it guuurrrl!!💖
Would love to hear more about why you started to make the changes needed to stop hoarding and the first steps you took. Can't wait to see you next videos!
The way you're processing thru this life event shows how much you've learned and healed from your journey. You will do great! Embrace the opportunities.
As you always says, Everything is going to be ok. You can do it.
You are always so inspiring. I love how positive you are and look forward to see more of you with the 2 videos a week.
That must be tough, being made redundant in this economy. What’s worse, is (I’m British so I’m not exactly sure how it works) that healthcare insurance in the US is done through work? So how do you guys access healthcare during times of unemployment? On the bright side, I know you’ve had a fortnight to come to terms with what’s happening before telling us, which is why you might sound so positive, but it’s nice to see you so positive and crafting again. I know you love crafting so hopefully, you’ll get more time to do it, especially if you can pop it in a video like this and make some revenue off of it.
I’d like to talk about anxiety. Today actually, I was prescribed anti-anxiety meds for the first time, but I do the opposite thing when I’m anxious, I do a big declutter and chuck loads of stuff out as it makes me feel in control of my space
I am so sorry for your job loss. Unfortunately a lot of people have lost there job.
CONGRATULATIONS on your open door! I’m excited for you!!!❤
I am so excited to watch all the stuff you're gonna be able to do now with your good health and time. This was your best most uplifting video yet and it seems like you already know you have nothing to worry about because you have sooo much to offer. As far as topics, I really want to see you curate your home to be exactly how you want it.
Sometimes the things in life we are not expecting turn out to be the biggest blessings….i assume you are also entitled to unemployment…..you can be a blessing by doing more with you tube and helping others with hoarding….you are the most empathetic speaker I have ever heard…you can help so many 😘❤️
