This longtime Champaign resident and neighbor of mine is a kindred spirit. She has created businesses based on her knack for organizing and her ability to disarm those she helps with a non-judgmental, sweet-natured approach.  

 Listen as this guest explains the cluttered, unsafe and unhygienic environments she has found herself spanning the past 15 years in this business. Karen explains the endless amounts  of books, files and papers she has found herself surrounded by. Literally piece by piece and under the watchful of the client, she has to coach the client into letting go. Usually born of a trauma and a lack of resources at one time, she carefully navigates the slow, tedious and exhausting process with her clients. She explains how this disorder can isolate and cause shame to the afflicted person. Unearthing beds, creating pathways to move around a stuffed home and helping the client toss something as seemingly insignificant as a broken pen cap brings Karen a challenge she welcomes.

I am adding video podcasting to my repertoire of mediums. During this transition, I have banked a batch of episodes in the new studio. The infrastructure and powers that be aren't quite ready. If you want to listen to the audio version as normal, NOTHING will change for you. However, if you want to WATCH the full-length podcast, that option will now be available. In the meantime, stay with me and listen to these still relevant recordings of the HyperLocal(s) Podcast.

Thank you so much for listening! However your podcast host of choice allows, please positively: rate, review, comment and give all the stars! Don’t forget to follow, subscribe, share and ring that notification bell so you know when the next episode drops!
