Organize & Cherish with The Organized Flamingo

116: Who Can Help When Feeling Stuck with Downsizing or Inherited Clutter


Listen Later

When you're faced with a home full of inherited belongings—or trying to help a loved one downsize—it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But just because it feels heavy doesn’t mean you have to carry it alone.


In this episode of Organize & Cherish, Stephanie breaks down the different types of support available to help during emotional and logistical organizing challenges. Rather than just listing resources, she offers a thoughtful guide for knowing what kind of help is right for each stage—from emotional decision-making to hands-on sorting and specialized services.

Whether you're sorting through generations of family items or supporting someone else who is, this episode is a compassionate reminder that the right help makes all the difference.



In This Episode, We Talk About:
  • The three types of support you might need (emotional, logistical, and specialized)
  • How to match the right kind of help to your current situation
  • Why asking for help is a strength, not a shortcoming, especially in the sandwich generation

Mentioned in This Episode:
  • A breakdown of support roles: organizers, therapists, appraisers, and more
  • Common mistakes people make when trying to “go it alone”
  • Where to find reputable help when you're ready to ask for support
