Clutter Chronicles

Mary tells us she is  emerging from this process realizing she is strong and able to receive and accept love. 

Mary tells us about the marvelous challenge by her therapist to live in the bittersweet.

I was curious about Mary’s progress on several fronts, including her new reading chair and command center. Since it's been four months since we last talked, did these new ideas stick?

 We get to hear Mary’s brothers' reaction to our podcast and how Mary finally found a place for praying and reading in her home. 

In today’s conversation, we talk about setting up a desk for Mary’s new job working from home, her wardrobe, shopping - all arenas for gaining and letting go of control. 

Mary shares that she has taken advantage of helping resources, such as Learn Do Become, and that has significantly decreased her anxiety.

We discuss why Mary cannot accept help and though she feels like she’s coming back to square one over and over, how she is really and truly changing for good. 

Today we explore why we settle for things we don’t want.

Last time we talked, Mary was talking about the natural disaster that happened in her basement and the good that came from it. In today’s conversation, as if on cue, another backward step in the healing process for Mary, and we bring her anxiety issues into focus. 

In today’s conversation, is it kitty accidents or something else? And is it a disaster or the best thing?
