It's Time to CLEAN YOUR HOUSE - Tough Love with Cas 

One comment. I work in a thrift shop where I do the sorting. Please, please, if the clothes are dirty, torn, or worn out, please throw them away at your house. Don't donate them. It's really gross to get dirty underwear, clothes covered in animal hair, etc. You can trash it or burn it yourself. We don't have any more time to wash it than you do. Thanks for your consideration😊

I have never heard you "yell". Your love comes through in everything you do. I feel it, I learn from it and am comforted by it. While I listen to you, I am taking one step through my lifelong discouragement! I am changing. I have changed. That is your legacy Cass! Thank you.

Tough Love needs to be a library category so they're easy to find!🤣

Please never stop these tough love videos Cas. We are all Susan! Lol. Loved that story. You just get it!

The tough love videos are the BEST. I re-listen frequently. Please keep doing them periodically.

Cas, listening to your podcast again and again get‘s always back the momentum to „get back on the horse“. I struggle so often with losing the momentum. Kicks in the butt are very much appreciated 😉.

I am absolutely loving the 30-Day Challenge. Thank you!! I'm making tons of progress in each of these areas!

Even your tough love is love, clear and bright and guiding. Your encouragement is always appreciated. : )

I cleared the coffee table, side tables, kitchen table, counters...made the MOST difference...i got all my husbands clothes off the loveseat...the next day I was so incredibly calm and relaxed...i had not felt that way in years....i cannot stand the clutter...it makes me anxious...it makes me upset that he doesn't get it...

Love the 30-day challenge! Only 5 things, 5 minutes. So doable 💕

Tough love needs to make a comeback. There is way too much coddling and excusing lack of action to take control!

Thank you Cas. After following Day 9 of the Clutterbug challenge I jumped on this Podcast. Dishes done, laundry going, feeling PUMPED!!

Ohmygoodness the proper swim technique metaphor....truth!!!😂

I feel your love! “My house is not an alternative to a landfill.” 🙌

I learned years ago that you need to do dishes, clutter, and laundry before cleaning closets, cupboards, and drawers (OH MY!). Meals may be frozen dinners, crockpot meals, or take out. This is essential to focus on decluttering. I have a room for donations ready to go to Good Will. I love to hand sew, so mending the torn clothes will be done on my day off while I'm binge-watching TV. Then, they are clean and mended ready to donate or put back in my closet. If you can declutter this way, you'll probably be done in 6 to 12 weeks. Projects like your photo albums, scrapbooks, et cetera don't get done now. Set aside those things for 6 months from now. When your house is 90% decluttered, that's when the projects get done.

🐿️ 😅 my guilty face when she said, hey you little squirrel brains 😂

I love and need the tough love videos!!! I save all that I see you post. Please keep them coming Cas! ❤😊

Sobbing as I’m listening to this…. Thank you ❤❤❤

Hi Cas 👋 greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 Long time listener, first time commenter. Just wanted to say a sincere thank you for all your awesome content. You are truly motivating. It is fantastic to do body doubling whilst listening to you. Bea from Australia ❤

Wow that landfill comment! I needed to hear that ❣️

Thanks, Cas!

My mom used to say when the clothes were still a little damp and we had to wear them." Don't worry, they'll dry on you!!"😅

You are so right about not enough hours in the day. There are 8 hrs for sleep, 8 hrs for work, and 8 hours for everything else (hygiene, cooking, cleaning, laundry, ,shopping, household finance and other house business, home improvement and repairs, yard work). There are two big imbalances: On the home-front: We need exercise, leisure, entertainment, a nap (important!) and downtime (we need white space!) On the work-front: When I first quit my job to work for myself I kept feeling like something was wrong. I felt like I was on vacation because I only worked so many hours and the rest of the time was mine! I was used to working 12 hours a day. I was used to not having control of my time and schedule. That's the problem (at least in the USA). There is no more 8 hour work day. There is no more 40 hour work week. Employers deny vacation and time off for being sick or anything else. Then add to that commute time. That is usually 1-2 hours each way every day. I was used to being worked into the ground. That leaves no time to take care of basic needs much less take care of yourself, family, home, or have a life.

Hi Cass . I am all in . Doing your Tough Love Botcamp, 30 day challenge and signed up for HQ workshop. Today aready loaded dishwasher , Folded Laundry Washing Bedding. Tidyup Bedroom floor. Swept and both mop . Also, done self care and walked the dog.

I love the way you guys support each other & learn from each.

The coworker Susan story at 23:00 was really helpful, thank you Cas!

Oh my gosh - I laughed so hard when you said about Susan “stop, you are Susan !”

What a great analogy with the swim technique!! So true!preach it Cas!! So helpful!!

Thank you for keeping it real!! Let me reiterate. It is OK to throw things away!! Newsflash, goodwill throws out half their donations anyways. Your junk might actually be just that...junk lol. I remember when my parents came to live with us while they were moving to our town. I let them have my daughter's room during ther transition. It took me literally 5 minutes to clear her room/closet because there was not much in there. Unfortunately that is no longer the case so I'm working on getting back to that point. My tip? Just imagine you had to move. Make it easier on yourself and get ride of trunk fulls at a time to make moving easier. Even if you have no plans to move right now, you never know what the future holds. Worst case scenario, you never move but you feel amazing and love your space. ❤

Hi Cas, love your tough love videos. We all need this type of videos to get motivation. Love your honestly ❤. Plese do More videos like this.❤❤❤

Really Needed this, the best way for me to clean is to listen to you motivation! Please do these more often!😁

Hi CAs. I’m loving 30 day challenge. It’s so empowering ❤

After a 16 hour work day yesterday im a walking zombie today, but playing this video over and over as i work (slowly) through my chores is just what i need. Thankyou!!! I could sit in a daze looking at the wall and feeling sorry for myself, but thanks to you my mood is actually lifted by a little productivity

Thanks, Cast, for this video! Although I don't necessarily need this right now, my house is under control. I recognize that your approach to home maintenance is fantastic. Because my house is organized, I can focus on taking unwanted items to donation centers or recycling them. But you're absolutely right - your sanity and your family's well-being are most important. Everyone should consider your advice about house maintenance. It's key to remember our priorities: first, ourselves and our pets; second, stuff. In a nutshell, get rid of unwanted clutter to free up your space!

The 30 day challenge has been so great! I was gone to my daughter's over the weekend, but in 15 minutes, I got caught up and am ready for tomorrow 🎉 thanks for all you do to help us Cas!!!

Keep the tough love coming Cass! It helps more than you can know. I am on a roll getting rid of nonsense

I AM Susan! You are right, how funny😂 thanks Cas!

You are so right Cass. I am one of those people that love to clean. I even help people with their chores. No biggy for me. I need my house to be clean and organized so I can think straight. I'm caught up most of the time .

I just ❤ you, Cas. You are such a realistic encourager. Thank you!

I need to keep this video to play every week to keep me motivated! I feel like my mom is nagging me to clean my room 😂😂😂. Even though my house is in decent order right now, I still tidied the kitchen, took the recycling bin to the curb, sorted mail and tossed the junk mail, and finished putting away the groceries while listening. Keep yelling at us, Cas!!!

Absolutely LOVE your videos. I always get amazing results when I listen to you while I'm cleaning

❤ ❤ ❤ you are so right!

Always love a tough love podcast

Susan!! Brilliant! That will be my new phrase- can't leave it for Susan 😂

I hand wash dishes. I wash as I cook. I wash up after I eat or drink. I'm just not going to have anything hanging around dirty. My rule is : Use it, wash it, dry it, put it away - immediately!

Thanks for the kick in the butt Cass 😊

Thank you so much! I needed to hear this so much! Sending love and light ♥️😘

This morning, I stopped you half way through, and went up to my hushed bathroom, (new flooring), and threw away aged and redundant medical supplies, before putting the bin back in the cupboard. It feels wonderful! Thank you!

This is what I need! To get my butt up and get stuff done!

I LOVE YOU CASS❤ You are my do you things crappy guru ❤♥️♥️

Thank you Cass. Love your videos ❤❤

Thank you!! My best videos! I need this x

When I step into my messy kitchen, I feel like I'm stepping through the Star Gate. Wonderful podcast BTW.

I started a load of laundry and swept our stairs and kitchen (its was a bloodbath od dust and hair). Thank you!

OMG! This was sooo helpful. THANK YOU 💕

Thank you ! 🙏 I have social anxiety and I get overwhelmed just thinking of trying to sell something on facebook marketplace or elsewhere and sometimes just going to the donation center is too much for me, when this happens I put everything in the room where the trash is in my residence and let people take what they want and the rest gets recycled by the company in charge of trashes... Thank God for these people in charge of trashes who are so nice and with whom I have no anxiety as I know them.

Lovin me some 5 min/5 thing decluttering... GENIUS and my goodness it's doable and I cleared out 10 items in 5 min from my closet - and I seriously decluttered in spring... just goes to show we're never really done. Thanks for tough love, I feel you really do care for me and each of us personally ❤

Thank you cas for being honest that your house isn’t perfect and that life happens.

Hello from Germany, thank you so much for all the 5 minutes and hundreds of things I don’t have to take care of anymore! With your help I declutters maybe 20% of my stuff but still have probably too much. I am so motivated to get more out with your September challenge. Thank you!!! 🙏

CAS. Thank you for talking about throwing things out. Thank you. I realized that donating has been holding me back. I didn’t realize. SERIOUSLY THANK YOU.

I was listening to a video by Dawn and accidentally touched the screen, so it skipped to this video and I hear "are you ready for a kick in the pants?!" I laughed so hard.

I'm loving the 30 day challenge! So helpful and motivating! I've already donated a trunk full of treasures 😅

Love the 30 day challenge...done the dishes and laundry...achieving each day...5min challenge is great! Thanks Cas🎉

Thanks for this today! I didn't want to do the dishes... But you better believe I am doing them now.

Susan here! lololol :) And so true - you have to take care of and love yourself before you can love and take care of anyone else.

These are my favorite videos from Cas ❤

Thanks for the motivation podcast. Yep life happens Lost a few days Amazing how much you can do in 5 minutes 😊

YES! whoop whoop Love the tough love podcasts

Cas, your 30 day challenge has been perfect for me! Thank you for the challenge and I'm hoping to continue the 5 min. a day!!! There are also areas. especially my craft room that needs more than 5 min. so I'm attacking that in spirts of more time starting right now. I'm working on it while you are talking! You are such a great motivator!!! Thanks!!!! 😃

You got me off the couch 😁

I listened to this podcast while washing poopy underwear (don't worry, it was my kids' not my own!). Then I did all my dishes after kid's bedtime. Frustrating to get behind. Helpful advice, Cas--thank you!

Very nice to know others have some of the same issues as me.

Loved this tough talk video!!! 😊

I've been doing really good and surprising myself with the 30 day challenge, thank you again, for doing that for free, it's making a big difference in my life. 😊👍🏼 I let go of a lot today. (day 9). (30+)

I don't know I needed this today!! Thabk tou for the kick in the pants') got the dishes done, bathroom cleaned, trashes out. Woohoo!

Cas, I’m so happy you are doing the “category” purging ( 30 day declutterring challenge). I can’t play right now because I got a new living room rug and now stuff is everywhere. Soon as I get this all sorted out, I’ll do the 30 day challenge! Keep going, girl!

Thank you for the motivation…did the dishes that were in the sink, put the dish washer on…load of laundry in/turn on the dryer…ironed clothes for tomorrow (in office day) and boiled eggs (tomorrows breakfast) - 30 min of woo hoo go time!

I’m playing this over and over, as you keep me focused and inspired. Thank you.

Gracias por tanto amor!!

Thanks for this you are helping keep me motivated to get my house sorted everyday.

Thanks for the pep talk, Cas. I like your Tough Love videos. I really liked it when you added up the hours and came up with 26 hours for a 24 hour day to make your point for a simplified home.

❤😂😊 I love you Cass, you make me cry every time 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

I understand why my mother had a rule that dishes were only allowed in the Kitchen/Pantry, and in the Dining Room/Living Room, no where else. (It limits to where vermin are drawn.) And, why we kids had to put away all our things before bed, (if we wanted our things, -- unclaimed items go into a time out).

The swimming metaphor was perfect for me, former lifeguard here. Exactly what I needed. Thank you. I’m probably gonna listen to this more than once!

Emptied dishwasher and tidied kitchen! Thanks for tough love bootie kick! ❤

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for this episode! Your insights and tips are incredibly motivating and exactly what I needed to hear. As someone who often feels overwhelmed by clutter and struggles with procrastination, your words really resonated with me. You have a wonderful way of making the process of decluttering feel manageable and less daunting.I also want to thank you for speaking so clearly and with great diction; as a non-native English speaker, it makes it so much easier to follow along and understand. Keep up the amazing work, your content is truly life-changing!

People need to learn that dishes stay in the kitchen. You eat in the kitchen then you don't have to clean them out of each room

Hey if you don’t have time to just do the dish. Just put them in a trash bag and take them to the trash dump. Sound bad but it worked for my niece she has 6 kids and works full time. After this she was able to keep up on them. She said it motivated her to get them done every night before bed know how much it cost to replace the dishes.

Working in my bedroom while listening today. Deep cleaned my floors and walls in here a few weeks ago, and yes, my swiffer duster works today! Doing your 30 Day Challange as well and tossed out an old robe, a jacket, and 9 other articles of clothing. Its getting better!

I like this! Thank you!

I love your tough love videos. It is the kick in the pants that many of us need. I’ve been doing the 30 day decluttering challenge and I just started doing the clean mama daily routine. Because of you I made my kitchen and laundry my nonnegotiable and that works out great for me. I have laundry current and my kitchen shines before I go to bed nightly. But other things are falling behind like dusting and organization. I’m trying hard to get a clean clutter free home and I’m determined to get there before the end of this year. Thanks so much Cas you make a tremendous difference.

I love your tough love videos *and* I laugh during them. I think I laugh because I know you are a fun, friendly person who seems to genuinely like us, while simultaneously being able to put on the tough love persona in case it resonates. I hear you saying something tough and I smile and think, "Yeah, true, but I know you still love us." 😉

Thank you! Love you! You and your message are so valuable. 💯🙏🤗

Can i get tough love on every area of my life that needs improvement? My goodness I could use this stuff with maintaining my appearance/grooming, taking accountability for my own side in relationships, giving my kids the attention they deserve and not wasting it on the phone/social media… this is GREAT!

I start thinking just five minutes. I end realising that I have tidied up the whole time. Thank you for sharing your motivation with us. ❤

Getting new flooring and realized I need to paint first then new molding needs stained and this and that the list has grow by one simple flooring. And my house is suffering. So after watching this because it’s midnight tomorrow will be take it back day so I can continue with the remodel without mentally going in sane.

Great video!Deep clean,much easier to maintain.Life is easier.Thanks😊

I have been binging on your videos the past couple of weeks while decluttering and it’s been so encouraging and inspiring. You are so positive and funny and you talk about ADHD which is so helpful for me. Do you have any videos on creating zones? I’ve almost finished the main declutter and have no clue what to do now 😗

I gotta miss Wednesday through Saturday this week because we're going out of town. But I'll catch up next week.

Exactly what I needed today! Got the dishes washed and laundry done while watching your video. It made the time go so much quicker! 😊
