How decluttering changed our lives! - Live with The Minimal Mom and A Slob Comes Clean. 

I started by watching Cas then Dawn and Dana. I have never been one to have much clutter but six years ago our son was killed in a fall. He was 33 years old. I could not bear to look at all the family photos and they sat in two big totes for 6 years. After watching your videos, I was finally able to go through the pictures and declutter them as well. My husband, my daughter who is Down Syndrome and I cried, laughed and remembered fun times as we looked through the photos. Your videos helped give me the courage to tackle this very emotional task. I did not want to leave it for my daughter or any other family members to have to deal with. The amount of photos is now manageable and brings us joy instead of dread. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You’re saving women, your saving marriages, your saving kids. Your hard work is giving me an opportunity to save my family and make a great, lasting legacy.

I have trauma clutter...and toxic clutter...I've finally been able to heal my mental health. Once I saw the toxic clutter I ABSOLUTELY WAS HOOKED. I had NO IDEA I was doing this. Thank you .

Cass your comment about feeling like you can't have fun on the weekend when you have all the clutter hanging over you sure hit home with me. I dread every Saturday and Sunday because I know I have so much that I want to go through and donate.. but I also know I hate to let go. It's a vicious circle but I'm hoping by joining the group and having you all to hold my hand and push me at the same time...I'll finally get this done!

Cass, I wouldn’t change your boot camp style at all. Sometimes we need a hug 🤗 but sometimes we need some Toughlove 💪. You three ladies and your three different styles are a perfect mix. Can’t wait until Saturday!!🥰

You 3 should be proud of this course. The way you have taken the best parts of each other's systems and put them together for a complete learning experience is marvelous. I love Dawn's minimalism, but I can't go quite that far, and I love Dana's decluttering process, although I don't need to go through all her questions most of the time, and I love Cas for her organizing styles. Now that I know what I am, part Ladybug, a lot Cricket, I know how to do each of these processes. My house is mostly tidy and clean, but I have those spaces, garage and office, that often go off the rails.

It’s a horrible feeling when you are embarrassed to invite people over and I was like that all the time

So grateful for finding Clutterbug and then Dawn and Dana's channels. Started following about a week ago and as of today I've done my 7th donation drop off in under a week. Each declutter makes everything in our house more functional and easier to tidy. Your explinations are so helpful. Thank you!!!

I’m very excited about the declutter this coming Saturday. I’m a widow and know it’s now time to part with some things after 13 years.

I’m typing & deleting & typing & deleting my comment because I literally can’t put in words how decluttering our home and establishing daily routines for myself and my family changed our lives. Essentially, our home has never been so tidy and clean as it is now….and I’ve never cleaned as little as I do now. Our weekends are ours to do whatever we want ( can’t do much as we’re in lockdown atm), if someone calls and says “hey, I’m in the area, can I pop over? “…I can say, “sure, come on over”and not have to do a thing to do… The decluttering was the catalyst to this though… Thank you for your on going motivation xxx

Your passion is a God send.... We are to be good Stewards of our blessings.... decluttering jewelry tonight I found a ring of my Godmothers and it fits, no longer stuffed in a box it is on my hand and I thanked God for the blessing she was to me!

I DID IT! I DID IT! I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID IT! I JUST BOUGHT THE COURSE! Now, I have no excuse. I HAVE to make the time for it, which has been why I've started and stopped so many times.

I believe that you are creating a mind shift for folks. You break it down for those of us who are so overwhelmed we can actually get it! And grasp the process. Thank you.

I have been getting rid of a lot of stuff, and even reducing my decorating. The house looks less cluttered, and lighter. Then I came down with a bad cold. Even tho I did little housework, the house was pretty easy to keep up with, and I was amazed. It really does make a difference.

Yeah. When we both worked and my boys were growing up, my Saturdays were filled with laundry, dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, changing sheets, etc. and my house was clean and tidy, but we only had Sundays to do the important things with family. Now, when they're in their 40's I feel a little guilty about that. Sooooo, listen to these ladies. They have wonderful ways of making it easier.

These women DESCRIBE MY LIFE!!! I thought I was the only one feeling or experiencing this!!! It’s like therapy!!!

Dana's story resonates with me 110%. I feel like she just walked out of my house and told my story. I would love to listen and learn more from her.

Getting rid of the extra stuff and stopping the mindless consumerism has given us more money and time for travel!

Don't discount your chiding/yelling Cas! It was super helpful on the last all day declutter! I got something out of each hour and learned something from each of you and resonate with each of your teaching. I get different things from each of you and the combination of the three of you is unbeatable!

As the eldest daughter of hoarder of stuff and animals, I literally grew up already overwhelmed. So house management has always been a challenge, I definitely did not want the same environment as I was brought up in, but I didn't have any skills to fall back on. Finding you wonderful women has been life changing and I (and my husband, who is a cricket) thank you so much, I know this is a marathon not a sprint 😊 but I am on this journey and loving life ❤

You guys gel really well together and work so well as a cohesive team -a real blessing. I have read and watched material from all 3 of you which has helped keep me on task with decluttering. Thank you all. xxx G Ire

I love how Dana said she would clean like crazy for someone to come and then say sorry I haven't had a chance to clean. Omg, I do this too,. I feel so guilty that it still looks terrible even though I may have spend weeks working in my house, I still feel the need to say I haven't cleaned. Ugh, the battle is real. I am glad to hear I am not the only one, I certainly am in my circle if friends and it makes me feel very inadequate. It's nice to see other women struggle along with me! I seriously thought it was only me. Also, does anyone have that one day where they really have their shit together and the house is making you proud, and ..... No one comes over?! The second the world wind comes through again, everyone shows up!! No one ever sees the clean day lol

The 3 of you are so inspirational! I started to significantly Dec litter 3 years ago. It continues. Housekeeping is so simple and takes so much less time. It has freed me up to follow my passion for painting, paper crafting and having family events. Thank you for everything you do!

I learned a lot from you ladies. I started with decluttering and then organizing. My house is so neat now, in my opinion. And I feel the peace I was missing. But it's funny to me now because am bored, lol! I ran out of areas in my house to declutter and organize and I want to keep going because it has brought so much peace and joy into our home that I wish I could do more. Thank you all for everything! It has made a HUGE positive difference in our lives at home !

Decluttering while I am watching this. When I declutter, I watch you tube videos. This is encouraging.

It cracks me up how different the 3 of you are! It's pretty interesting and amazing. Helpful.

I love this! Decluttering has made a big difference in my life with 6 kids, and now that I am pregnant again I am ready to tackle the farm itself! We have sold some equipment we never use, and I want to go through all the office stuff on the farm nobody has looked at in over 10 years, and the trash the guys just pile up in halls in the barn. I need to take before and after shots. We have the large dairy barn, old bull barn that turned into a junk storage shed, 3 vehicle garage with storage above and a machine storage behind it, a workshop, and a machine shed! My husband is not very excited about it since I really need him on board with helping because I don't know what half the stuff is.

I think in the depression era women we less stressed because they didn’t have all this stuff. They just worried about how to make money. But I do believe they were happier

I just signed up but will not be able to join in Live but look forward to watching and learning and decluttering. I am paralyzed with decluttering, truly stuck.

Thank you, ladies, for your transparency & for all your videos!

Dana that comparison is so genius! It totally makes sense!

Love you ladies.....thinking of your house as a container was a game changer for me. I grew up in the era when you saved things "just incase". I still save things "just incase". It can get out of hand in a hot hurry. It gives me anxiety/adjada to consider it clutter.....so the container concept solves the issue. I limit what I keep to one container. The rest is recycled. Works incredibly well and I still have a "just incase" stash. Brilliant concept. 💜

Love you guys! Today I will finish my kitchen/dining room (after 2 very full weeks of decluttering) by decluttering my fridge and freezer. I started my decluttering journey (before i found your videos) with my closet then my husbands closet, then the windowseat between them and I thought I was done...then I found your videos(thanks to Kathryn and do it on a dime). I was actually doing some things correctly and you guys just put a name to it for me. 😁 But I also learned ALOT from you all. THANK YOU for showing me the "hidden" messes in my home. My home "looked" fairly neat and tidy but every time I opened a cabinet to cook or put away dishes or groceries the "battle of the cabinets" began. I was so tired of living that way! I'm now 4 months into decluttering my house and every time I think I'm getting close to done I watch another video and think, ooo, that drawer really needs organized. At this point I may never be finished. 😳 after today its the basement which I have been putting off for 2 years but hopefully wont be too bad because I've been hitting it with "glancing blows" thanks to Dana's better=success strategy. You guys are awesome! Thanks for all you do, you've definitely changed my life.

My kids artwork. What I wanted to save I scanned it into my computer and put it all in a flash drive, then I got rid of all the paper and 3D objects. It worked for me.

Decluttering is life changing!

The three of you have SAVED, CHANGED, IMPROVED, HELPED MY LIFE!!! I love you all! I am blessed and grateful to have come across the three of you! ❤️💕💗❤️💕💗❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😘😍🤩👏🏼🥳🤯

Hello. I missed your live. You three are amazing ,you have inspired me to declutter and organize.

Ladies, you are amazing! March 2021 one of Dawn's videos popped up on my feed and I watched it, then watched a few more, then she mentioned Dana, and I watched her videos (and listened to her audio book), then I heard about Cas and started watching her videos. I was so motivated that I not only watched ya'lls videos but began decluttering my house also! March and April I was on a role, I decluttered my linen closet, my pantry, my bathroom, and my kitchen and I got rid of quite a lot stuff! But as life has a way of doing, I slowly went back to old habits, and stopped my decluttering journey. But thankfully, I'm baaaack! You ladies are all so encouraging! I'm so thankful for you sharing your journey! It helps us on our journey too! Your ideas, your helpful tips, your encouraging words, are all helping me along my journey! Dana, I relate to you the most! I have so much STUFF! I struggle with letting go! I feel like I'm emotionally attached to every little thing! I also used to HATE to do the dishes, BUT after TRYING your method of "DO THE DISHES" my sink has been free of dishes every night since I started in March! THANK YOU! I'm still on this journey and even though I missed your deadline for this class, it's definitely on my "to do list" to jump into the next one. AND I just did a 50 minute declutter tonight! AND I uploaded 2 videos of my 50 minute declutter session. (I don't have a fancy editor like you do Dana, so it's all RAW FOOTAGE!! LOL ) I tried to use Dana's method and started with just trying to throw out the TRASH and making the "duh" & quick non-emotional decisions! I'm definitely on "layer ONE" of going through my piles Dana! LOL #5minutesbetter God Bless Ya'll

Gosh I wish I could get my husband on board and finally up our adulting game! I’ve upped my game on my own, but I can only go so far until the bond that ties us stops progression. And he’s so opposed to letting go of anything. I have to sneak out ratty socks and underwear from the rotation because he would want to keep even them!

Ok, I'm in! I just joined the course! I will be moving by the end of the month and I have a HUGE amount of stuff to handle and declutter. I have already embraced a lot of Dana's ideas and learned from Cas that I actually have an organization style! Who would have ever known that?! I don't know much about Dawn yet, but I am already enjoying the synergy of this partnership!

Totally reccomend this course! It's totally worth it

Hi Ladies! I have been binge watching your you tube videos and have been so inspired. I have been on an organizing spree in my kitchen. I have one corner to go, but I can already feel that peace of mind you talk about when I'm in my kitchen. I looking forward to completing it. You have completely clicked with me and have changed my way of thinking when it comes to declutter and organizing. I look forward to working on the other areas in my home and having less clutter stress. I love how realistic you all are and how you understand the ways of thinking that can keep us from being as organized and stress free as we want to be. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with us.

You ladies are the BEST. And this course is beyond awesome. If you invest in it, you will not be sorry. I always declutter the beginning of each year, and have for decades. And yet, with this course, I learned so many more tips that have made my decluttering so much more effective.

I am in the decluttering zone Thank you for your inputs to keep the motivation going Have a wonderful evening !

Totally worth the cost of the course & and the value keeps growing. These three make a dream team. Having all the ideas together in one place has helped me better understand what I had been missing before.

My car is full again of stuff to donate and my husband is giddy with selling stuff - I signed up for the course anyway even though the three of you have helped me so much already

I watch all three of you. You are all inspiration.

Wow these pep talks from the three of you are invaluable. I really mean that you have made me feel so empowered to take control. Love you gals❤️

Thank you for making this course ~ it's life changing for sure. Looking forward to the all day declutter.

❤️❤️❤️ ya’ll have changed my life for the better

Thanks, ladies, for all you do! The course is great and so helpful. I'm so thankful for this collaboration.

I started watching all 3 of you recently. I was always very organized, yet I am finding that I save items because of who they once belong to or I paid money for them. I am finding freedom in letting things go. I love the container idea because I kniw when thw Co trainer is full; I have kept what meant the most to me. Thanks for all the videos and advice.

Along with this, meal prepping for the week also helped free up my time to spend quality time on the things that were most important to me! But decluttering and understanding what type of organization system works best for me and my family has been a LIFE SAVER!!!

you all look amazing. I have ADHD and could spend the whole day cleaning and never finish one room. And once an area looks better..then the OCD kicks in and I have many more projects I think need to be done because I won't know what I have or where to find it in that space. My dad passed and my mom asked us to move in with her. We went from a cluttered 3 bedroom house...to 3 rooms on our side of the house. My mom is very neat and organized, which has helped me be neat in the common areas of the house. Literally 2 of our rooms don't match the rest of the house!!! I have been binge watching all of the videos you 3 have. And am going to get this under control once and for all!! I am 60 and have let this give me anxiety for all these years. Thank you ladies so much!!!

Until I found you 3 DYNAMO'S; I believed I was the only person who didn't "get it." I would receive blank stares from people when I tried to explain my inability to figure out a place for everything and everything in its place. I now completely accept that I own too much STUFF. TIA for accompanying me on my long journey to Uncluttered! Bless you all!

The 3 of you are just awesome!! I love your channels and you are all lovely, I have learned a lot of you. Thank you for this video

I just did the whole fridge while watching your video... Sounds great, but I should have been doing some really important paper work. So I sit here and instead of beeing satisfied that I takled this chore, I feel live crying.

I found that my bank account went up with decluttering also. I think it's because I'm very aware of what to bring into my house that I don't shop as much as before, so, 🤑🤑

Love you ladies!!! 💗 Thank you so much for all your amazing work (and the "crazypants" results!) 🤭 Cas basically saved me from becoming a hoarder like my mum, back in the Malitose days, and Dawn&Dana have helped adapt/refine my methods to suit me more now that I'm a mum in our own place. I can't thank you all enough 💗

You three, are the best ladies on RU-vid

You three beautiful ladies have completely changed mine and my families lives. I cannot thank you enough.

I love you guys so much!! Thank you for all you have done to help me!! I was a hot mess….

Started with Dana, then, Cas, and then I found Dawn. You’ve been my favorite channels. I love that you work together now. Dana you got me started and changed my life.

It’s really crazy how overwhelming clutter is..it really leads to bad things like anxiety and depression

Great advice, have accomplished a lot since discovering your channels. The thought that motivates most, I don't want our kids to go through what we've had to do when a loved one passes. Took weeks and so much physical and mental energy to plow thru and sort decades of stuff.

I don't have piles in every corner, but WHO doesn't have clutter beacause I DO!!! SO I can always improve! I would love to feel more dollars in the wallet because I keep bring in when I don't have space. STOP buying into the consumerism. LOL! Such good advice here! I want a JUMP start!

You guys are the best💛💚🧡💛💚🧡

Maybe remind your members a good way to decrease paper clutter is going paperless for bills, it’s a game changer for us, pay your bills online and keep track as you pay them in a small notebook. Definitely a piece of mind

This is the absolute best group for motivation and support! Love these ladies.

That's one of the things I regret most about when my kids were growing up....the manic, all-day Saturday cleaning.

Love you all, you are the greatest. Thank you for being good mentors to us and sharing your lives, messiness and great ideas of how to be successful in decluttering!

I hope you do more of these. We are moving. so packing and decluttering some. First layer. But want to have a decluttered new home.

Your RU-vid videos gave me the courage to let go of so much when I moved. Between all of you showing it can be done, and my kids constantly reassuring me they did not want 12 place settings of silver, etc, I have been able to give away so much. My new home is waaaaaay les cluttered than my old home, and I am consciously keeping it that way. I’m not a minimalist, but I am a declutterer.

I had to get rid of so many things as I immigrated. I only went with what I could fit in four bags and the clothes on my back. I should feel freedom but it makes me sad to think of all the stuff I had to get rid of and I don't know if it's cause I am so sentimental or if it's because I equate my past stuff with my family I miss so dearly. It's like I couldn't let go properly. I'm blessed to have more then I need and I want to go the minimal way even though I'm so sentimental. I'm battling. But I want to be free from stuff and financial stable.

I want you to know I have been singing the praises of how just watching your channels have changed our own home. One lady I know is so overwhelmed with her home. I suggested checking your channels. Even just watching your vlogs she didn't feel like it was an option for her. She is extremely overwhelmed, and finds no way out. I am praying for her.

I love your course. I've been decluttering since June and I'm enjoying continuing to declutter. It's rubbing off on at least one of my kids and my husband. I'm feeling so much more relaxed in my home.

Thanks, ladies! I'm hoping to take the course next time it's offered. Better yet, I hope I don't need to. I've been slowly decluttering for almost 9 months, but this week my mindset has shifted to: I'm not using it, I don't need it, it can go bye bye. I'm ready to tackle some tough spots! Thank you, ladies, for sharing your expertise. I seriously could not have progressed this far without you. I wish everyone who is joining the class and the all day declutter much success and fun!

Can't wait till the Sydney, Australia covid lockdown is over - have 8 donation boxes waiting to go to a thrift store when they open up again. I thank God for you ladies regularly.

The most awesome trio! I’ve joined the TYHB group in the spring and am finally starting to feel like I can breathe but still have a ways to go. Thank you so much, Dana, Cas and Dawn!

I wish I had seen this earlier. Hopefully you guys will do an all day declutter again soon. I am currently doing my dishes and listening to you chatter about wanting to be a writer and the messy house holding you back. That is me. Wanting to do things on the weekends but needing to get the house under control. Me again. Running around cleaning when you know someone is coming over and getting it to the point of don't mind the mess -- yup, me. I totally get it and I need this.

Yes decluttering is life changing

Thanks ladies awesome explains so much!

Part of my realization was when I got a free estimate from a cleaning lady. She refused to do it. "You need to call me when you're all moved, so I can clean." That's when I realized I just have too much inventory at the moment. Hope that helps.

I relate to Dana..definitely being held back! My good news is that I just need to sell everything!

You guys all..ROCK!!!

How do you organize and store children art, paper things? I love seeing their toddler first drawings and what they created with their plump little hands, and first attempts at writing.

Thank you for giving me the swift kick in the 🍑 that I needed. I decluttered and donated several boxes the other day, and I have six boxes (and counting) and some large decor pieces on deck for tomorrow.

1:20 _couldn’t even find the bills to pay them on time._ The accuracy is hurting my feelings. 😂

So many gems 💎 here. Thank you for these really practical tips. We are sooo trying to move in this direction! “Mental bandwidth” 💥🤩

Oh no! My husband and I have a craft show that day! I'll have to continue on my own again. But I love all the encouragement I get from you guys.

Thanks clutter coaches!! I had to pause this video to purge out two bags of clothes of mine. 😊 My husbands things I don't touch in respect to him.

Oh! I missed the course. I have been taking my house back watching you guys. thank you to all of you. My only problem was I had 15 trash bags of donations, I stared looking inside again. So I had to take everything on trash day and put it out. I felt bad that i didn’t managed to donate but I’m glad is out of my house.

Ugh. I've definitely had those times where I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned to get to "normal" I'm so thankful for building up my declutter muscles so I don't have to do that anymore!

Love these Videos

I just brought a box of “stuff” touched it all, separated everything, and put everything back in the box! Step one, separate stuff now separate from myself!

I just found your channel and I love you! So fun(ny), transparent and love to watch. Very OCD here but we sick for a long time. Back to it with your inspiration ❤

Looking forward to your new class. I’m taking my house back ❤️

I want to add this comment for anybody who watches this and might think that getting rid of all the stuff will “solve” things because I downsized from 1800 sq ft to 300 sq ft and sold everything. I thought my stuff was the problem, which it was BUT. 2 years later my tiny home was a mess. I was depressed. I couldn’t keep the place clean and I didn’t even have that much “stuff” that’s when I found cass online. Her methods for STAYING TIDY. Are as important as getting rid of excess things. I wish I had realized the two go hand in hand 2 years ago when I became a minimalist. She’s really helped me figure out how to keep my place cleaner. So yes you can be a messy minimalist if you don’t learn how to stay tidy after you first purge everything

Would like to buy in on the NEXT ONE!!!

Thank you ❤️
