Hoarders ❤️ Minimal Mom | Massive Clothes Declutter | Clutter Free January 

I’ve been a silent viewer for about a year. I’m breaking my silence to tell you how proud and happy I am for you!

This is AWESOME!!! Thank you for helping us understand hoarding disorder ❤️

There is a visible happiness and reduction of stress once you let go of something. I am proud of your journey and your courage to share on RU-vid.

This would be a HUGE accomplishment for someone without hoarding disorder the fact that you could accomplish this whilst recovering is just wow!!! 🤩

Are you kidding me lady?! That was a LEAP in the right direction!!! Congratulations and Wow. My wish for you is a really lovely bedroom and you are halfway there!

I've worked in mental health for over 40 years and have never understood hoarding until I started watching you. You are remarkable.

Im so happy that you got to declutter your own space again. You always put your kids and your family first, but taking time for yourself is so important too. I hope this helps you to make your bedroom feel like a place to relax, not one where you always feel bad about the clutter.

I dread going through my stuff more than anything on earth. And I desperately need to do it. I’ve never, ever had a house that wasn’t dysfunctional and cluttered...let alone a nice comfy space that was actually decorated and I wasn’t too embarrassed to have guests. I’ll be 50 next year and I want to not hate my house for the first time in my life. I have hoarding tendencies and I barely manage to keep my stuff from overtaking the house. I’m pretty sure I have adult ADD or at least focus issues, and that doesn’t help. I can’t wait to watch all your videos, I feel like it will help me to finally get started! Thank you

I watched this with my mom today. I think it gave her the motivation to start her clothing declutter. She is a hoarder however she’s working hard to over come the disorder. I think seeing that I’m able to declutter so easily is helping as well. She said thank you for giving her the motivation she needs to start.

Great Job. I think that since you made beautiful rooms for your boys, It's time to make a beautiful room for you and your husband. Maybe some new paint and decor. you really deserve it!

Watched your old clothes Kon Mari from 2019- Back then you did it in two parts and your room was a lot messier and the basement seemed a lot darker. It's fantastic how far you've come, and you're doing it while being kind to yourself, being your own best friend which is very inspiring and what the world needs more of. xx

I literally said "Holy Sh*t" out loud when I saw your tossy tossy pile. I've been a long time sub since your first clothing declutter. You've come such a long way. You're always an inspiration. Watching your journey and hearing you say it's okay to keep something when you're not ready, helps keep my panic at bay during my own recovery. Thank you!

I am so glad that Dawn included you in this. I would have never found your channel. Now I really understand how my husband feels when I ask him (tell him) to get rid of anything. Thanks for explaining the emotional attachment that hoarders have and the process to declutter over time. I am happy for you in your recovery. Thanks again for sharing.

I went on a channel spree and watched all of your videos in a week. I am so proud of how far you have come. As someone who struggles with OCD and an unhealthily need to have everything perfect 24/7, I thoroughly appreciate how you are destigmatizing your disorder. It takes a lot of courage to do this publicly. Kudos to you.

Eventually you might be able to turn your tshirt collection into a tshirt quilt! I collect concert shirts and I have sooo many. Im not even ready to turn them into a quilt so for now they take up a lot of space in my dresser but I know one day I’ll be ready to do it and it’ll save space and be more practical!

🥳 I can hear the pride in your voice and you should be proud of yourself! I am so incredibly proud of you, this was phenomenal and it is amazing how the more you do this the more like a professional motivational speaker you sound. You made me want to run to my closet and start decluttering. Definitely let yourself keep a few items of maternity clothes, but I am very proud of you for not keeping them all. The t-shirt collection would look really awesome as a quilt. You're a rockstar 💪

Pulling out your winter clothes in January? Ha, you're a woman after my own heart! I used to live in MI and struggle with item overload and I would do that too. Then I was always sad that I couldn't wear them for that long, as I was emotionally attached to them. I grew up with a mom who ended up being an actual hoarder. Our house was always a mess growing up. I watch the Minimal Mom and you all the time. Between seeing Dawn's clear surfaces all the time and you explaining my thought process - to me!! - I'm finally making progress in my home after many decades on this earth. Dawn said something recently that was very powerful for me. She asked, "Do you want options or do you want freedom?" I walked right over to my coat closet pulled out 2 coats to donate. And you've taught me to start with what's easy to let go. Thanks for making a channel and sharing.

I smiled every time you put something in the declutter pile. You're doing so well. I'm proud of you. 😊

You are such a sweet soul. I love that you are doing this on RU-vid. I think your content will be the absolute best support for other people who struggle with hoarding.

I'm so happy for you that The Minimal Mom reach out to you in the Clutter Free January!!!!!! Dawn, with Clutterbug and The Slob Comes Clean made a course "Take your house back" and it has a private Facebook page for those who bought it. I suggested your channel to some of the other "students" who seams to have some emotional struggles with stuff. I think from the bottom of my hearth that your are inspirational and you can help a lot of people. I'm so proud of you for your progress. You decluttered so much this time!!!! Clearly, your recovery is doing good, even if you don't force yourself. It's so hopeful for all the ones who are at the same state you were two years ago. It's clearly a long process, but you show that is possible. Thank you so much!! Congratulation again!!! I'm really happy that more people will be able to find you easily with this Clutter Free January project of The Minimal Mom. Keep going!!

I recently found your channel and have been bingeing! I have a quilt business and I make T-shirt and memory quilts for people. That might be a good option for both your and your kids sentimental clothes. The clothes aren’t hidden away in totes and you can actually get joy from them while freeing up tons of space!

I love how you talk through your thought process and how honest and open you are to share about your hoarding disorder. Thank you!

it's so inspiring to see how far you've come and how kind you are to yourself in the process

Fabulous! I love your happy tone! Just a little at a time and it all adds up to a ginormous win! You got this!

You're exactly right, it was huge and you did have attachments. You listened to yourself and did what you could so you could continue to move forward. Pushing to paralyzed doesn't work for you. Keep at it! You are FABULOUS!

I’m so proud of all the progress you have made. I have been watching you for quite a while and have been recently rewatching older videos you can tell how much you have been healing yourself. Way to go Mrs. Heart!!

First time viewer saying I loved this video and I really gained much insight into emotional attachment to items, when and how to make decisions about them. I lost my mom last year and I took so many of her things that I didn't need but there is an emotional attachment to them. I understand now why I must wait until my heart is ready to make further decisions about them. You have helped me tremendously! I am so happy for the work you have done and I look forward to watching more of your videos!

Holy crap I am actually crying happy tears for you how far you’ve come it’s amazing

This is amazing, this must be one of your biggest declutter yet, you should be super proud of the progress you've made!

😲🤯😲🤯😲🤯😲 SO PROUD! I heard "let it go," more than when Frozen came out! Wowie wow!!! FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!

I'm so pleased that you have been included in this playlist 👍😃

this was huge!! I love how you talk about strengthening your decluttering muscles, and I think you've also strengthened your perspective about what brings you the MOST joy. You're really able to look at an item now and separate the feeling of, it's pretty but I don't really want it, versus oh my gosh this is so sentimental and precious to me. You really know yourself and are so fast at telling which items are your favorites and should be kept. this is also a perfect example of how decluttering for anyone is not "one and done" you can always benefit from going back to a category again and again because you get more in tune with yourself and your emotions over time. great job!

Trying not to cry as you went through your maternity items. I also had a miscarriage in 2020 and I know how difficult being reminded of it is. Thank you for the encouragement and inspiration. 💕

This video was amazing. I guess I have never heard anyone explain hoarding disorder in quite this way. You made an astounding leap in being able to let all those clothes go.

I found you through the Clutter Free January series. I'm not a hoarder, but my grandma was and my partner might be. I wanted to tell you that I was rooting for you throughout the whole video. You really had quite a project and the fact that you went through all of that and shared it publicly is really impressive. I'm sure your channel is helping so many others with hoarding disorder, you should be very proud of yourself! I appreciate your explanation that it is an emotional attachment and so the decision needs to be made from the heart. I really liked how you kept emphasizing "my heart says it's ok to let this go." I also watched your paper declutter video and was equally impressed that you went through all those papers! Thanks for your authenticity. Even though this is one disorder I don't have, your willingness to be honest and vulnerable is very moving and gave me a lot to ponder.

I have a feeling you’re going to help a huge amount of people with this video. It did take me 2 days to click on this video as I’d been glancing at the thumbnail photo and thinking “that’s a ridiculous amount of clothes” THEN saw your channel name and knew there was a lot more to the photo. I’m immensely proud of your progress, and the fact that you shared your skills in HOW you declutter the pile, going easier on the items with more attachment so as to avoid triggering your hoarding tendencies. That strategy may go a long way to help others with their own struggles. I also appreciated that when returning items to bins, they were placed back in neatly and labeled. You’re now creating better systems going forward and your channel is showing others that the same can be done in their home. It IS doable and not as overwhelming as we think it can be - IF we can get into the right headspace. You’re going to help others do that. I’ve been watching Dawn from The Minimal Mom, Cass from Clutterbug & Sarah from Small Changes (Australia) for a long time now and these ladies have really helped me with motivation and strategies to get things done. Originally I did a 30 day house challenge but I think that might not be enough time for someone with hoarding tendencies to mentally get through their space. That’s why your channel may be a much better option. 🙏🏼☀️😊

I love hearing about your process and the emotional work that has to be done before you let go. Very awesome!

Hello from Japan. You are making great progresses, good decisions by yourself, for yourself. So much proud of you!

Have you thought of taking your clothes to an actual Shelter for woman? They would love to have that wonderful donation.

I was EXACTLY like this with my wardrobe, I had almost 200 graphic tees and I brought that number down to 80 over the past 4 yrs. I made 3 large t-shirt quilts of the shirts that I didnt want to get rid of and then was able to remove the rest as I found what didnt fit, what didnt feel good having anymore and what was trashed and not wearable anymore. It is SO FREEING when you finally have things that you want and know you can manage/take care of. also i spy a pinkie pie in that pile

You explain the emotional process so well. I can really connect to what you say, for the first time I can see myself decluttering!

Bravo to you! You are such an encouragment to all of us! Thank you for being brave and sharing your journey with us!

I am crying because I know how hard this was for you when you first started. I am so proud of your growth! Great job!!

Thank you SO MUCH! I subscribe to Dawn’s channel and came across your video on her playlist. My husband takes up 75% of our shared closet with many items from high school! He’s 65 years old and yes, he does still fit into most of the older clothes. I choose a minimal wardrobe and LOVE it. Your video really shed light on his emotional attachment to those clothes. I need to verbally appreciate his effort even when just one of his items gets put into the donate box. Thanks for showing me just how big a deal it is for him to let his things go. You are awesome to share your story!!

Impressive, I can't believe how much you got rid off. Many ladies will be blessed with clothes they need.

Good job!!! Amazing!!! I agree. The more you do it. The easier it gets. It is like taking off shackles for each item that no longer has a hold. Lets be free to buy and to give away, to have nothing and to have a lot and not give any of it an extra thought. Free hearts ready to love.

Wow, I feel so many emotions for you! Why am I crying?!! I'm so proud of you for your hard work and letting go. Thank you for sharing your disorder to help us better understand. You are amazing!

You did so well with getting rid of all the clothes you did. I'd donate them to a women's shelter. That'd make them so happy. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing with us!

I'm so proud of you! It's so hard, as a mother and wife, to take time to work on yourself and heal, when you are overwhelmed and busy every day with family life. It's very hard, good job!!

This brought me to tears ❤️ thank you

Girl! I am so proud of you keep going I never look back. And have fun to have garage sale. 🎊❤️🌸🌸❤️❤️

Loved hearing your thought process...and you have such a lovely, calming voice! 😃 Well done on the amazing declutter 👏💖

My favourite part of your videos is how there must be a box of crayola in the pile no matter what you’re sorting 😂

Very happy to see you start in the bedroom, to make it a lovely place for you and hubby. You deserve it. What an achievement!

You seem so much stronger emotionally!!

This episode was a total success!! So happy for you noticing that you are healing and were able to let go soooo much stuff as I think a non hoarder person can't declutter so much stuff in one time!! Keep it up Ms Heart!!!!

A “no buying clothes” challenge for 2021 sounds awesome actually! I think i might do it, but let myself take the clothing for fixing if needed and buy a replacement if and only if it is needed. You have done such awesome work! I have been following you for a long while now, and omg wow! Your progress is amazing! 💜💜💜

That's amazing!!! I would like to see your bedroom transformed like you did Tyler's room..this year get in there and take everything out..paint and get you a new head board and nite stands..hang some pretty pics on the walls..and clean out your closet like you did his...make this room you and hubby's sanctuary

So proud and amazed of how far you’ve come. Creating so much fresh space to let what you do keep shine so much brighter.

Dear Miss Heart, I’m so glad to see you taking part in a collab with these other amazing channels. Love the new logo too ❤️🇦🇺❤️

I LOVe ❤️ your tips - I need to follow my heart 💙 💜 - I am going through my closet - and I have "pushed myself" to get rid of stuff - and of course it triggers more hoarding in other areas in my life- your channel is giving me hope

I'm so proud of you. Its amazing how much clothes you are able to let go.

This is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to show us how to go through this process. Most people don't understand how difficult it is for us to do this.

I've been watching since the start of your channel and I am SO AMAZED BY THIS!

So happy you're making a breakthrough! I think my entire wardrobe (not including outerwear) would fit in two of those tubs max. It's so much easier to keep on top of laundry when you've successfully minimized!

For things that are stained or damaged that aren't nice enough to donate, you can recycle clothing at H&M

Holy wah girl that was impressive. You are so much better. So proud of you. You barely winced. 💜

Proud of you for doing this. You have a fan club wishing you only good things. Tina

I have struggled with hoarding clothes and its hard for me to follow through with decluttering because of my ADHD and anxiety. This video really hit home for me. This is the most helpful clothes decluttering video I have seen and it is so helpful! Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us! 💙

That was an amazing declutter! I am so proud of how far you’ve come! I love seeing videos when you go through previously decluttered items after time has passed and declutter again! I love to see how much your viewpoint has changed since the last clothing declutter! I think continually reassessing your sentimentals is the perfect sustainable way for you to reach your idea of minimalism!

WOW Miss Heart ❤️ that was unbelievable 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️ take a bow. I can’t believe the amount of clothes going in one go!!! Those decluttering muscles 💪 are huge. Well done 👏👏👏 Stay safe and healthy. Mary, Joes wife 👏👍🙇‍♀️💐🦄💪🥳❤️

That was absolutely AMAZING Miss Heart!! You were so confident and clear thinking. I was super impressed with how much and how fast you let things go. Many congratulations xxx Hopefully you'll find it easier each time you do the clothes Konmari 💪🏾👍🤩🥳💃🧚🏽‍♂️🏋️‍♀️

So in love with this collaboration ❤

When i met your channel two years ago you had started on clothes !! I know this is going to be great.

Once your home is more recovered you could do a series helping other people, like Living with Cambria RU-vid channel does. I really think you can understand since it’s something you struggle with too.

Girl you are gonna be the real mentor for hoarders all of the world! You are not just miss Heart, you are our majesty Heart!!!! 💓💓💓💓💓

That is absolutely awesome. I went through a traumatic change in my life where I got out of the military and then had to leave my abusive husband with nothing but what me and my 2 kids were wearing and your right people gave me clothes left and right and I ended up filling a bedroom full of clothes for me and my kids and when I moved into my own home it was hard to let go because it reminded me of all that I had made it through and I was also afraid of never getting more clothes. It was crazy but when I let things go I felt more free. Now I have a 1 in and 1 out system that I follow and my kids when they get things that are to big they go in a bin for them to wear when they can fit in them and I only buy a couple new things a year for them just so they know how it feels to have new things as well as accepting hand me downs. It took me 5 years to get to this point but I'm so glad I did and soooooooo proud of the progress you have made

You are so impressive, I admire you for how far you've come!! So proud of you Miss Heart, thank you for being so real with us.

I'm soooo proud of you!!! This video ~ and the one today on paper clutter (which is my first time coming across your channel!) ~ are very inspirational to me! I do not have hoarding disorder, but have *always* struggled with feeling I needed to keep my footprint small, in any living situation I've ever been in. So... it's like I've had a foot in both worlds ~ wanting to keep my memorabilia & books & special clothing (& some of my Mama's, who has gone to Heaven) & craft supplies (a definite "heartstrings attached" pile!!) & yet feeling I had to downsize, downsize, downsize & keep myself small! I've gotten rid of many things over the years, some which I still remember and wish I still had! Your videos ~ the ones I've viewed so far ~ have taught me that I'm okay! It's okay to hold onto things I'm not ready to get rid of. *And* I need to decide EMOTIONALLY rather than cognitively. I *love* that! Thank you so very much for being so open with us with your truth! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! P.S. I adore how kind you were being to yourself, talking kindly to yourself, and giving yourself permission to let go, or to hold onto, if even just a little longer! This is such an amazing concept!

You're amazing! My heart was hugging you throughout this whole video ❤

Thank you. I've learned a lot from all the ladies here. But you... You were an inspiration. I'm 66 and have always been a natural hoarder. Of everything. I can usually find something I'm looking for in my Piles, but was just telling my husband that I am so very tired of stepping around things. I also have health issues that hinder decluttering a lot at once. However, I'm going to start right now on my t-shirts. I too have a million... so thanks again!

I am proud of you, thank you for snaring your heart, God continue to encourage your steps, as your heart is healing.

I remember my first major konmari and it was overwhelming. I cant imagine how hard starting must have been, and you did so well!

I have watched several of your videos over the past month or so and as someone who only lately has been releasing the extent of my attachment to things and struggle with others who don't understand, your videos help me put words to what I feel and help validate what I feel. Please keep sharing! I'm sure there are others who also need to hear it's okay to feel attached and not let go right now❤️❤️❤️

New subscriber here. Whew! I felt this. I love that going with the flow and allowing it to keep moving and not needing to feel guilty! Congratulations!!! Amazing progress 😍

It’s beautiful how you are sharing your healing journey to help others. You held such gentle and loving space for yourself and I am so proud of you. While I don’t have hoarding disorder, I definitely have too much stuff and some unreasonable emotional attachments and guilt about some of it and I have been on my own decluttering and organizing journey. I am proud of myself too, for the progress i have made recently. Thank you for sharing.

honest and raw look at letting things go. I'm very sentimental about a lot of my clothes, about half of my closet were given to me by friends and family. Thanks!

I have watched your channel off and on for the past year. You are doing an amazing job. The best thing about your journey - GRACE! You show yourself grace. You don't beat yourself up. You have found the reaons why you do what you have done and or are doing. Nail on the head! Great Work! Great Video!

Go girl go! Now if I could only get the rest of my family to do this decluttering 2021 would start off on the right foot

Wow girl, that was absolutely fantastic! I am so very proud of you and how far you've come. Keep up the great work! Love and hugs my friend.

I am so impressed that you were able to let so many maternity clothes go. I know that pain and I know how far you have come in your healing. You must be very proud of yourself!

Can’t believe how much you have grown! 👏 Also congrats for being a part of the RU-vid decluttering gurus!!🥳

FANTASTIC!!! So, so proud of you🙏🏻❤️🤗. God Bless You!!

Ms. Heart, wonderful accomplishment! I started on my sweaters and sweatshirts two days ago and was able to let go of about a third of them. I love me some sweaters! That was difficult but I plan on going through my other clothing to see what I can let go of. I can't do the Konmari all at once method, so I do one drawer or shelf at a time. You have come so far from your first clothing video. I'm so happy that you've allowed us to join you on your journey. I think you are great motivation to everyone!

Well done So proud ...You must feel amazing When my mother past I kept a bag of clothing to make a quilt BUT two years later the bag still sat taking up space and I decided a quilt would only remind me of my loss So I donated the whole lot and a weight lifted from my mind .I have my memories and plenty of photos of my mother.... I don’t need anything else She lives in my heart ❣

Well done. But remember to remove the donation quickly. Maybe you should try the hanger trick. Hang with the hanger placed backwards. Once it’s worn hang normally. End of season what’s still backwards gets donated. It really makes the decision easy.

It’s been awhile since I watched your channel and when this popped up I was thrilled to see your FACE on the thumbnail!!! I loved this video. Your voice is so soothing. Your explanation of how you are healing is a blessing. Sharing your journey and explaining your process will connect with all of us who struggle letting go. Thank you!

You can be so incredibly proud of yourself! I'm binging all your videos right now and you've really made incredible progress! I'm more of a minimalist, but maybe my advice will help you anyway, if it's not suitable for a hoarder, just forget it: Try to imagine how all those t-shirts feel when they're just lying in the basement. It's like they're in a coma. They can neither bring joy and benefit to someone else, nor can they "die". If you don't want to lose the memory, you could take a photo of each piece and create a photo album, maybe even with a little text for each memory.

So great! Thanks for being open and honest about how you process decluttering! Your thoughts that you share as you make decisions help me to work with things that are hard for me and paralyze me from moving forward.

Such a wonderful job today Ms. Heart! That was some huge mountain of clothes in your tossy tossy pile! Whew!! You really are such an inspiration. Thank you for taking us along on your journey. 💕, Kate
