And some of 122 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 4: what we discover along the way is really emotional, it's 123 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 4: really challenging, or it's been something that's really held them 124 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 4: back from moving forward that they didn't even know was 125 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 4: a problem. 126 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 5: A lot of people are held back by their things, 127 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 5: but some people are really paralyzed by their things, and 128 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 5: they're not even aware of how much those items are 129 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 5: holding them. 130 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 4: Back, right, And I think that that's what we bring 131 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 4: to the show, is that editing process, and that the 132 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 4: lens that we have for you know, these families were 133 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 4: not just in need of a new home necessarily, which 134 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 4: they all are deserving and need that, but they were 135 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 4: really needing a lens in their life of a lot 136 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 4: of baggage, like emotional, physical, a lot of it. And 137 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: I think that, you know, going through this process, it's 138 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 4: such a richer experience and such a richer story I 139 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 4: think for people to watch. 140 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: Yes, so powerful I saw the I don't know if 141 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: it's in the trailer or whatever preview if you want to, 142 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: if you want to call it, that of the edits 143 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 2: own and to see your entire house all laid out 144 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: has to be like overwhelming, like overwhelming, so thank god 145 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 2: they have you to go through it and someone to help. 146 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: But how can how what's the advice you would give 147 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: to you know, the normal trista setter, Joshmo, you know, 148 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 2: on on getting through that without having a massive space 149 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: to lay everything out. 150 00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, So unless you have the help or the space, 151 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 5: not advise this, Do not. 152 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: Do this yourself. 153 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 5: What I would do is kind of the actual opposite, 154 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 5: which is start really really small. We always tell people 155 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 5: as small as you really can, like oh, the drawer, 156 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 5: because once you get your feet wet and the system 157 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 5: is actually easy. The system is the same no matter 158 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 5: what space you're organizing. But you want to start where 159 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 5: you can really comfortable and see the project all the 160 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 5: way through from A to Z. And if you start insay, 161 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 5: a closet or your whole house, right, you will never 162 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 5: see it through. 163 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: You're just gonna like buy and be in the corner. 164 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 5: So you have to start extraordinarily small and start with 165 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 5: the edit in that little space. 166 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 4: Right, Like if you're just doing a drawer in the 167 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 4: kitchen with kitchen utensils, you can take all that out 168 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 4: and lay it on the counter and make smart decisions 169 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 4: like do I need to have three lemon juicers, you know, 170 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 4: or whatever it may be. And then you know, you 171 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: figure out your containment in the drawer, you add it 172 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 4: back and donate whatever you're you know, purging, and I 173 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 4: think that you can then take that and be like, Okay, 174 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 4: I can do a cabinet. Now I can do something 175 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: slightly bigger. I can start maybe with a dresser, drawer 176 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 4: or you know, something to get your feet wet and 177 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 4: to understand the process. And then with time you can 178 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 4: be like, all right, maybe I'm ready for the pantry, 179 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 4: maybe I'm ready for my closet. And you always want 180 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 4: to make sure to leave yourself enough time, because nothing's. 181 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: Worth when you're at thirty minutes before you camp the can. 182 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, when you unload everything and then you're just gonna 183 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 4: shove it back in without having done any People done. 184 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 5: That before, like started a big project right before you 185 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 5: know you have to leave and it's just and then 186 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 5: you just shove things back in, right, so you don't 187 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 5: have time. 188 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 3: Totally. The other advice totally do is that. 189 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 5: The editing and the organizing don't have to be done 190 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 5: in the same minute. Yes, they're kind of separate. I mean, 191 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 5: they're they're coexisting partners, but they're two separate actions, and 192 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 5: so it can be overwhelming if you're not really comfortable 193 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 5: to do those two things at the same time. So 194 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 5: you can always do the editing and then come back 195 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 5: for the organizing. 196 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 4: Each one is powerful, right, Like in the kitchen utensil example, 197 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 4: if you edit out the you know, the juicers and 198 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 4: the squeezers or whatever you're you don't need more of 199 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 4: whether whether or not you even use them at all. 200 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 4: You can do that edit without getting like the drawer 201 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 4: organizers and without doing kind of the organizing containment piece 202 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 4: in the drawer. Yet you could just do the edit 203 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 4: and then work on you know, the organizing separate. 204 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. 205 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: What are things that most people that you find your 206 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: clients get stuck on, you know, like they get to 207 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: a part and they're like, Okay, here's where the paralyzation starts. 208 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: I can't move forward. 209 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 5: Mostly it's in the closet, I think, because that brings 210 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 5: up so many life decisions.

Yeah, and you know, they're just 402 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 4: the most incredible, deserving family. When we were doing the 403 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,479 Speaker 4: edit zone process us with them and actually you know, 404 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 4: walking them through all of their things, there was a 405 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 4: real transformational moment that occurred. 406 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 3: And that was the. 407 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 4: Moment that we called our husbands and said, you and 408 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 4: the kids need to get on a plane and come 409 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 4: to Austin and witness what we're witnessing because this is 410 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,719 Speaker 4: changing our lives, not just their lives. 411 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 3: And I'm forever changed and I need you to be 412 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 3: a part of this. 413 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 4: So they did.

Yeah, 415 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 4: we're still in touch, and I mean Sill was thinking 416 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 4: about it. 417 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 5: They're this family, I mean all the families to clear 418 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 5: this point, they're all incredible and so deserving. 419 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 3: But it started with the Warrants.

Everyone came together in such unison and 434 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 4: it was truly the most I mean it sounds so cliche, 435 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 4: but it was just the most life changing, life affirming 436 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,479 Speaker 4: situation I've ever in my life been a part of. 437 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 4: I've never ever had anything so transformational to me happened. 438 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 4: And you know, we've had a lot happen in our 439 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 4: in our lives, but this show, being able to film, 440 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 4: the show, being a family all together, being with the 441 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 4: families that were that we're here to build a. 442 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 3: Home for It's just I don't even have words for now. 443 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 5: I don't either. It's just been incredible, what an experience. 444 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 5: We're just the luckiest people. 445 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, Leah, you talked about this past year has 446 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 2: been you know, hard or heavy. I can't remember exactly 447 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 2: the word that you used, but you've been very open 448 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: about your health journey. 449 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: Can you share how you're doing now? 450 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 4: And yeah, so I in November, I was two years. 451 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: Since my last. 452 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 4: Since I ended chemo and radiation, So two years of 453 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 4: being cancer free or what doctors like to say no 454 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 4: evidence of disease, which it's like no one can just 455 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 4: say the words cancer free. 456 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, but like can we just can we 457 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 3: call it that? 458 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 4: But you know, so two years out, I am still 459 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 4: I'm my cancer. My breast cancer was hormone positive. So 460 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 4: for people who understand that world. My cancer essentially feeds 461 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 4: on hormones, which means I've had a great long couple 462 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 4: of years of hormone suppression. I have removed my ovaries, 463 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 4: I got a new forectomy about six months ago, and 464 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 4: I still take medication, multiple medications, twice a day every day, 465 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 4: and I will for the next several years. I think 466 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 4: I'll be on certain medications up for another ten years 467 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 4: or so. So it's definitely been a process. Not having 468 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 4: not being an active treatment is still it's an amazing 469 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 4: thing to not have active treatment, but treatment still remains, 470 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 4: and it's a long, long process, and I don't think 471 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 4: that a lot of people understand that that it's you know, 472 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 4: there's still a very long tail when you have cancer. 473 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 3: So but I am really fortunate. 474 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 4: That because of my specific diagnosis, I'm able to take 475 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 4: I'm eligible to take some of these medications. Not everyone is, 476 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 4: so I consider myself lucky in all regards. 477 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 3: Really. I also have just hopefully. 478 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 4: Finished my last reconstruction surgery that was just in November, 479 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 4: so still very recent that that may marks my seventh 480 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 4: surgery since being diagnosed. So you know, again it's still 481 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 4: all a process. 482 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 3: It's ongoing. Just because. 483 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 4: Just because you stop, you know, your radiation treatments and 484 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 4: your chemo treatments, does not mean that you know you're 485 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 4: out of the shadow of cancer by any stretch. And 486 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 4: I definitely I like to remind people of that. For 487 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 4: anyone that has friends and family who were going through 488 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 4: cancer treatment, they're likely still not completely finished. And I 489 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 4: think it's important for people to understand that. 490 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, agreed, Thank you for sharing and being so open 491 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 2: about it. I'm sorry for all that you've been through 492 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 2: and and hope that you know you are able to 493 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 2: continue to use the medications and and be healthy. 494 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 3: Oh I'm trucking. I am not. Yeah, I promised you. 495 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: Good, good good. 496 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: That's powerful, Joanna. How is it like being the best 497 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 2: die of somebody going through something. 498 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: So heavy like that?

It's just so it's so 511 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 5: frustrating and upsetting because you can't take away I you know, 512 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 5: I'm not an oncologist. I can't like do anything like 513 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 5: I can't give her medical advice like I I'm just 514 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 5: like on the journey with her in the way that 515 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 5: I am.

I mean, the 520 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 5: thing I know about Clia is that she is a 521 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 5: powerhouse and like, no one's going to get in the way. 522 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 5: If she has our mindset on, you know, conquering something, 523 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 5: there is nothing that's going to stop her. So it 524 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 5: was never I never had the worry because I just 525 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 5: know who she is and I really wasn't worried that 526 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 5: this was going to be it. I just hate it 527 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 5: to see her suffering in any with anything holding her 528 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 5: back from her like absolute potential at that time. So 529 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 5: I don't know if that answers your question, but I you. 530 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 3: Know, I don't. 531 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 5: I don't know if I was that helpful. I just 532 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 5: I was just I just hated watching her having to 533 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 5: navigate this. 534 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, well I will say, yeah, you were helpful. But 535 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 4: I think it's really important. People ask all the time 536 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 4: how they can be there for other people going through treatment, 537 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 4: And the truth is, everyone is so different. You need 538 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 4: to meet them where they are, and you can't help 539 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 4: someone with thinking. You can't help someone in the only 540 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 4: in the way that you would want to be helped. 541 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 4: You really have to understand how they want to be helped. 542 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 4: And some people need people around them. 543 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 3: That's that's how. 544 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 4: I was, Like, I was really afraid of being lonely. 545 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 4: That was like always on my mind, and I needed 546 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 4: people around me. 547 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 3: And a lot of people have. 548 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 4: A completely opposite take a completely opposite view.
