<v Speaker 2>a huge organizational junkie, Like I love organization, and I

0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 2>was a massive Extreme Makeover Home Edition fan back in

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 2>the day or Extreme Makeover fan, I guess I should say,

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 2>because that's what it used to be called before Extreme

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Makeover Home Edition, and then Jillian Harris, a friend of mine,

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 2>was on the show. Anyway, I I'm so excited about

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 2>talking to these two guests today. Cleia and Joanna are

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>the Home edit and they have so many great ideas

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>about organization and I think it's perfect for the new year.

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.679

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 2>My name is Trista and I don't know if you

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>know my name or anything about me, but.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you're so cute.

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Well we are family now because ABC is family, and

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.560

<v Speaker 2>and to be on this podcast today. Let's be clear

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 2>with Shannon Doherty, and I am honored to be able

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 2>to host. So I want to back up to when

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 2>you got the call for the show, like, tell me

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 2>how that went down, because I feel like that's so exciting.

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 4>So I'll say that we started having conversations well before

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 4>we actually got the green light to film the pilot,

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 4>and I'm telling you, in those conversations, every single time Joanna.

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Was like, do you think that this is this is

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 3>really going to happen, I was like, there's no way.

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 3>It's just not going to happen. There's like chance not,

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 3>It's just not a thing that's going to happen, right,

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Like this is not baked in reality.

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 5>No, And She's like it's just not And I was like, oh, okay,

0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 5>Debbie Downer.

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 4>But like and then like the conversation started feeling more

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 4>real and then there were conversations about maybe starting casting,

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:44.480
<v Speaker 4>and still.

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 3>I was like, I believe it when I see it.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 5>I mean, it's coming out tonight, and she's like, I

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 5>don't know, I don't know if it's going to act.

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 4>But when we actually got the call that this was

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.080
<v Speaker 4>in fact happening there, you know, there are two calls

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 4>that got the call for the pilot and then the

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 4>green light for the whole series pick up.

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, yeah, no, it's insane. We're like, wait what

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 3>And then we're like, are they do they know? They're

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.640
<v Speaker 3>sure they know that we don't know how to build

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 3>a house, Like has that been made clear?

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, like, full disclaimer, we don't know what we're doing

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 5>with building a house.

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 3>So for pretty much anything that you.

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 4>Know that they need, unless it was an organizing thing,

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 4>we're just going to show up and be ourselves and

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.519
<v Speaker 4>like you let us know if you need anything more from.

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Us, right, Yeah, And it worked out. So that's how

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 3>it went.

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean I would say it worked out. Is this

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>something that you guys dreamt of?

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Like watching the show and did you did you know

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 2>each other back when the other show was on? Oh?

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 3>No, so okay we met.

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 4>Now that it's twenty twenty five, This is our ten

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:47.280
<v Speaker 4>year anniversary.

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.400
<v Speaker 3>This year we can say that, we can officially say that.

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 4>And we did not know each other before we went

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:58.360
<v Speaker 4>into business together. We met at a blind lunch date,

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 4>a blind friend lunch date, and got up as business partners.

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 4>So these last ten years have been jam packed with

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, starting a company, adding to the company, doing

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 4>all sorts of different things that do not just involve

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 4>organizing a home anymore, you know. There we have so

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 4>much going on in our business, and every day has

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 4>been spent plugging away since the minute that we met.

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 3>And truly we could not have drunk this piece. No,

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 3>absolutely not. Who dreams this big? Right?

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Not us?

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Certainly? Yeah?

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Crazy, yeah, but everyone should, right because hello, yes, dreams

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 2>are coming true.

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 4>Well you can just manifest it apparently, I don't know,

0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean it is it is really time, pretty wild

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 4>how where we've ended up. Literally, even just as today,

0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 4>sitting right here, I'm like, I can't believe the show

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 4>is coming out tonight. You know, I'm still not dreaming

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 4>this big, That's right, I'm still like you should.

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 1>You should, especially as organization people.

0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel like so much of organization also is mental

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 2>and I know that seeing the you know, the trailer

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>for the show, that a lot of what you guys

0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:11.640
<v Speaker 2>are doing with the show, kind of like the reboot

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:15.919
<v Speaker 2>two point zero, whatever you want to call it, a lot.

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Of it is.

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Is dealing with people's emotions, you know, their sentimentality of things,

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 2>and that's heavy. Tell me about tell me about that

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 2>in the reboot and the two point zero version of

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.040
<v Speaker 2>the show, and what you guys are including now.

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 5>Because they did bring us in as hosts and we're

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 5>clearly not contractors, we brought our organizational lens to the show.

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.919
<v Speaker 5>And so what we did differently with this family or

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 5>with all the families is go through their items and

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 5>show what's serving them and what's not serving them and

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 5>try to help make it form decisions on how to

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 5>move forward in their next house.

0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 4>What we do, which is different in this reboot than

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.880
<v Speaker 4>the previous iteration, we set up something called an edit

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.400
<v Speaker 4>zone where we were move all of the contents of

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 4>their previous house and set it up in a giant space,

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 4>room by room, so we can actually walk the family

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 4>through all of their things from the kitchen to their

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 4>bedrooms and so forth, and like Joanna said, make informed

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 4>decisions about what is moving forward into their new home

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 4>and what is no longer serving them. And some of

0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 4>what we discover along the way is really emotional, it's

0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 4>really challenging, or it's been something that's really held them

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 4>back from moving forward that they didn't even know was

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 4>a problem.

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:33.560
<v Speaker 5>A lot of people are held back by their things,

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 5>but some people are really paralyzed by their things, and

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 5>they're not even aware of how much those items are

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 5>holding them.

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Back, right, And I think that that's what we bring

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 4>to the show, is that editing process, and that the

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 4>lens that we have for you know, these families were

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 4>not just in need of a new home necessarily, which

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 4>they all are deserving and need that, but they were

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 4>really needing a lens in their life of a lot

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.760
<v Speaker 4>of baggage, like emotional, physical, a lot of it. And

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 4>I think that, you know, going through this process, it's

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 4>such a richer experience and such a richer story I

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 4>think for people to watch.

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so powerful I saw the I don't know if

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.120
<v Speaker 2>it's in the trailer or whatever preview if you want to,

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>if you want to call it, that of the edits

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 2>own and to see your entire house all laid out

0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 2>has to be like overwhelming, like overwhelming, so thank god

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>they have you to go through it and someone to help.

0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 2>But how can how what's the advice you would give

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 2>to you know, the normal trista setter, Joshmo, you know,

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 2>on on getting through that without having a massive space

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.600
<v Speaker 2>to lay everything out.

0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, So unless you have the help or the space,

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 5>not advise this, Do not.

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Do this yourself.

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 5>What I would do is kind of the actual opposite,

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 5>which is start really really small. We always tell people

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 5>as small as you really can, like oh, the drawer,

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 5>because once you get your feet wet and the system

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 5>is actually easy. The system is the same no matter

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 5>what space you're organizing. But you want to start where

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 5>you can really comfortable and see the project all the

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 5>way through from A to Z. And if you start insay,

0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 5>a closet or your whole house, right, you will never

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 5>see it through.

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 3>You're just gonna like buy and be in the corner.

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 5>So you have to start extraordinarily small and start with

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 5>the edit in that little space.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.839
<v Speaker 4>Right, Like if you're just doing a drawer in the

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.719
<v Speaker 4>kitchen with kitchen utensils, you can take all that out

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 4>and lay it on the counter and make smart decisions

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.880
<v Speaker 4>like do I need to have three lemon juicers, you know,

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 4>or whatever it may be. And then you know, you

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 4>figure out your containment in the drawer, you add it

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:57.360
<v Speaker 4>back and donate whatever you're you know, purging, and I

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.120
<v Speaker 4>think that you can then take that and be like, Okay,

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 4>I can do a cabinet. Now I can do something

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 4>slightly bigger. I can start maybe with a dresser, drawer

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 4>or you know, something to get your feet wet and

0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 4>to understand the process. And then with time you can

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 4>be like, all right, maybe I'm ready for the pantry,

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 4>maybe I'm ready for my closet. And you always want

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:21.320
<v Speaker 4>to make sure to leave yourself enough time, because nothing's.

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 3>Worth when you're at thirty minutes before you camp the can.

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, when you unload everything and then you're just gonna

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.120
<v Speaker 4>shove it back in without having done any People done.

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.840
<v Speaker 5>That before, like started a big project right before you

0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 5>know you have to leave and it's just and then

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 5>you just shove things back in, right, so you don't

0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 5>have time.

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Totally. The other advice totally do is that.

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.199
<v Speaker 5>The editing and the organizing don't have to be done

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.960
<v Speaker 5>in the same minute. Yes, they're kind of separate. I mean,

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 5>they're they're coexisting partners, but they're two separate actions, and

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 5>so it can be overwhelming if you're not really comfortable

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 5>to do those two things at the same time. So

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 5>you can always do the editing and then come back

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:53.160
<v Speaker 5>for the organizing.

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 4>Each one is powerful, right, Like in the kitchen utensil example,

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 4>if you edit out the you know, the juicers and

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.960
<v Speaker 4>the squeezers or whatever you're you don't need more of

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.560
<v Speaker 4>whether whether or not you even use them at all.

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 4>You can do that edit without getting like the drawer

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 4>organizers and without doing kind of the organizing containment piece

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.280
<v Speaker 4>in the drawer. Yet you could just do the edit

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:20.320
<v Speaker 4>and then work on you know, the organizing separate.

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, totally.

0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>What are things that most people that you find your

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>clients get stuck on, you know, like they get to

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 2>a part and they're like, Okay, here's where the paralyzation starts.

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>I can't move forward.

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.080
<v Speaker 5>Mostly it's in the closet, I think, because that brings

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 5>up so many life decisions. I mean, like think about

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.600
<v Speaker 5>the pit versus the kitchen. You're not that attached to

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 5>an olive oil. Most people are not, you know, I.

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Mean some people, if you would guess the majority of

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 3>people are not attached to a lemon juice, right, Like

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 3>if something's expired, it's they're really ready to move on.

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.479
<v Speaker 3>But now people don't consider their genes to be expired.

0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 5>And it's like brings up a lot of issues like

0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.559
<v Speaker 5>what if I have another baby and I what if

0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:16.400
<v Speaker 5>I can't fit into this paragon?

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Like it brings up.

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.319
<v Speaker 4>All maybe I want to fit into this paragon, so

0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to get rid of it.

0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 5>Right, So there's so many different life decisions that come up,

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 5>like bigger conversations that I think people it makes them

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 5>so anxious that they just they don't want to see

0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 5>or deal with it.

0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 3>It's hard even for me.

0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 4>And I ended out in my closet probably I would

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 4>say once a month, like a really yeah, yes, And

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 4>it's amazing. Every time I go through, I'm like I

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 4>find more pieces that I'm like, you know, I didn't

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:46.560
<v Speaker 4>wear it that season.

0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 5>There or a lot of guilt too with closets and people,

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 5>you know, have a lot of guilt that they spent

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 5>money on something they didn't love it. Every time they

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 5>put it on, they don't they never really loved it

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.559
<v Speaker 5>and so it's just sitting there collecting dust.

0:11:57.360 --> 0:11:59.079
<v Speaker 4>And they thought like they liked the idea of it.

0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:00.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean that's what I run into.

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 3>We all do, even the two of us. But you

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:04.840
<v Speaker 3>know you've got to you've got to see see yourself

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 3>through and you got to cut your losses.

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, don't double down now. Now it's collecting dust and

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.319
<v Speaker 5>you paid for it. So it's like now you're doubling down.

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.760
<v Speaker 3>Mistake. Right, you can sell most of your closet items too.

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 5>Or donate them to Yeah, exactly love them, you know,

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 5>don't double down on a mis feeling.

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 3>Getting rid of exonerating yourself with the guilt is a

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 3>big piece.

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So what's that? What's that key component? You walk

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 2>in your closet, you want to edit and you have

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.600
<v Speaker 2>all this sentimentality.

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 1>What is the key?

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Like, what is the key to helping us get through

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 2>our closets and actually be able.

0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 5>To take Okay, So you have to ask yourself why

0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 5>why are you wanting to do this anyway?

0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.520
<v Speaker 3>Like what's the impetus for you to do this declutter?

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 3>Is it so full?

0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:48.960
<v Speaker 5>Does it make you anxious? Like what's what's what's the

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 5>reason that we're doing it? And then you have to

0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 5>bring yourself back there and remind yourself in the process

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 5>why you're doing this to begin with, and that it's

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:57.239
<v Speaker 5>an opportunity and it's not a chore.

0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 3>Right, this is an opportunity.

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.319
<v Speaker 4>I mean for me, I you know, I keep things

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 4>pretty minimal in.

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.679
<v Speaker 3>My house except for my closet.

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.559
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I like to say, like, maybe give

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.400
<v Speaker 4>myself an excuse, like you know, we're on TV all

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 4>the time, Like I go to events, I need to

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 4>have clothes.

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.679
<v Speaker 3>I need an option for this and for that.

0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.199
<v Speaker 4>But the truth is, my closet can get tight if

0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't do an edit, if I if I am

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 4>consuming without purging, it's a problem. And I like clothes

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:31.080
<v Speaker 4>and I like shoes, and you know, it's it's it's

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 4>a My closet is a sticking point, even for me.

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:38.440
<v Speaker 4>And I'm pretty ruthless, so I I am, and but

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 4>so I understand how people feel when it comes to

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.959
<v Speaker 4>getting rid of things, because you know, I could look

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.080
<v Speaker 4>out a sweater and think of an outfit that I

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 4>could wear with it. But I also need to start

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 4>being realistic with myself. And you know, sweater weather is

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 4>for a certain amount of time of the year if

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:58.040
<v Speaker 4>I didn't wear it once, you know, and we live

0:13:58.040 --> 0:13:58.839
<v Speaker 4>in Nashville, so.

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 3>Like we actually have sweat weather. This isn't just la.

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 4>So if I didn't wear once in all that time,

0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 4>why am I still thinking that I will.

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 5>The other tip I would say for people too, is

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.839
<v Speaker 5>that the closet is such a valuable real estate. So like, say, okay,

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 5>I don't want to get rid of my wedding dress.

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.240
<v Speaker 5>I did, by the way, but but I understand we.

0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Dress, Yeah, I did.

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 5>I gave it to my My mom was like, we'll

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:21.960
<v Speaker 5>save it, and then I don't know if she has

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 5>it or not. But anyway, oh yeah, I just say

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:27.520
<v Speaker 5>I understand people wanted to get rid of your wedding

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 5>dress or keep it.

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 3>Let me say that. Let me say keep.

0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 4>It, yeah, because I don't think most people will get

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 4>rid of it.

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 3>It's fine. But you have a small closet.

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 5>Your white dresses are usually pretty big and bulky, so

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:41.560
<v Speaker 5>you have a lot of space in prime real estate

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 5>in your closet every single day.

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, you wouldn't hang it in your clothes.

0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:46.640
<v Speaker 5>A lot of people still do, and that's what they

0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 5>run into problems. If it's sitting there, I'm saying. What

0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying is take things out that are sentimental.

0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 3>That I've ever run into someone with a weding dress

0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 3>in the closet.

0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 5>Yes, people have buddy dresses hanging in their closet and

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 5>are folded up right.

0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 3>On top of it. Well not, I mean usually it's

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 3>observing box. Yes, but it doesn't have to be in

0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 3>that space.

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 4>Right, Well, we can take our marital dispute elsewhere. It's

0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:08.760
<v Speaker 4>also a good time to.

0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Point out that the wedding was not Your wedding dress.

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 4>Was not to me, you husband, husband the other right, yeah, right,

0:15:17.440 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes that's a misconception.

0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Right now, I'm like offending beause you got wedding wedding dress.

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.520
<v Speaker 3>I can definitely sound like that. And I have a husband.

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I have a husband and a separate dress. I mean

0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 3>I love her. I love her too. It's not I wouldn't,

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 3>but I just didn't. Yeah, yeah, we just did it all.

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And and I have to not like you guys

0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:39.360
<v Speaker 2>are obviously very close and all of the rainbows, like

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 2>your rainbow Christmas trees are inspiration. I freaking love them.

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh.

0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 4>The rainbow Christmas tree tradition started pretty early in the

0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:55.680
<v Speaker 4>home Atic Ecosystem. Yeah, yeah, that was a long time ago.

0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 4>I remember my first rainbow tree like it was yesterday.

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you still have it all the stuff or did

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you edit it?

0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh? No?

0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.680
<v Speaker 4>Well, over time, I like to do a different type

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 4>of rainbow tree every year, and like.

0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 3>Slight different variations.

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 4>Now we have an incredible team that works at the

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 4>Home Edit and they put together spectacular rainbow tree. You know,

0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 4>they do like one last year it was all different

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 4>rainbow velvet bows, and then this year we did a rainbow.

0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 3>Flower tree, and then and a candy tree. We had

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 3>a flower tree at the HQ. Yeah that was right.

0:16:30.880 --> 0:16:34.760
<v Speaker 4>So they do like over the top crazy Christmas trees,

0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:38.080
<v Speaker 4>but just for my own personal home, you know.

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 3>One the first year, I.

0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.840
<v Speaker 4>Think I did it mainly just with like you know,

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 4>Christmas or I'm sorry, colorful rainbow ornaments. And then those

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 4>ornaments grew to a different ornament collection, and then it

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 4>was a mixture of like bulbs with different shapes and

0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 4>fruit and all sorts of things. But but yeah, our

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:58.160
<v Speaker 4>team makes the most over the incredible trees.

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 2>Gorgeous, so much fun. I love color. If you can't

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:07.120
<v Speaker 2>tell this is so anyway, Okay, I have a very

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:11.280
<v Speaker 2>important question. Okay, headbands, how many head bands do you have?

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Scene them out?

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 5>And actually I edit them quite a bit and donate

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 5>them because she does.

0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 4>I really you know, I land so much space, right

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.160
<v Speaker 4>and because you want new ones?

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:21.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and I want new ones, and I have to

0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:24.639
<v Speaker 5>applied by my own rules. Is editing out things so

0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.920
<v Speaker 5>that there's enough space where things are not tight.

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 4>That's how I am with shoes. I am at this point.

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:31.359
<v Speaker 4>If I want to buy a pair of shoes, I

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 4>have to edit a pair of shoes.

0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 3>I am at a one in one out. Yeah, And

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:36.880
<v Speaker 3>that's how I am with headbands. It's bad. It's it's

0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:39.879
<v Speaker 3>we're on the one in one out at this point. Yeah.

0:17:40.080 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. I love it.

0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Like I would love to see your space, That's what

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 2>That's what I feel like everyone wants to see is

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:49.919
<v Speaker 2>your spaces, you know, your closets, to see what we

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 2>can aspire to, you know published, so.

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 3>People, mine's coming out yeah, but my way good.

0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 4>I think the end of September mine came out out. Yeah,

0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 4>it's an architectural digest.

0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 3>You can see.

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's amazing.

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 2>That's another huge win, Like like at that year, the

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 2>year you're having and twenty twenty five.

0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.040
<v Speaker 3>I know you can. You can definitely tell that my

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:18.160
<v Speaker 3>closet is full. It's full fall that's your thing.

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:20.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, full, Okay.

0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:21.879
<v Speaker 3>I like clothes and shoes.

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, don't we all? I?

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Sam, Sam Sam same? Okay, Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Tell

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 2>me what was your favorite part of filming?

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Okay?

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:35.800
<v Speaker 4>So the family that is in episode one, the Warren family,

0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:38.800
<v Speaker 4>It's so funny. Right before we came on, I was starting,

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:41.200
<v Speaker 4>I got a text from Gail, the mom.

0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 3>And I was texting her back.

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 4>She's still obviously a huge part of our lives. We

0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.800
<v Speaker 4>love this family. We love all the families, but it

0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.600
<v Speaker 4>started with the Warrens. Yeah, and you know, they're just

0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:58.920
<v Speaker 4>the most incredible, deserving family. When we were doing the

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.479
<v Speaker 4>edit zone process us with them and actually you know,

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.439
<v Speaker 4>walking them through all of their things, there was a

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 4>real transformational moment that occurred.

0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 3>And that was the.

0:19:07.960 --> 0:19:12.439
<v Speaker 4>Moment that we called our husbands and said, you and

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 4>the kids need to get on a plane and come

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 4>to Austin and witness what we're witnessing because this is

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.719
<v Speaker 4>changing our lives, not just their lives.

0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.399
<v Speaker 3>And I'm forever changed and I need you to be

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:25.879
<v Speaker 3>a part of this.

0:19:26.280 --> 0:19:28.719
<v Speaker 4>So they did. They dropped everything and came to Austin.

0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 4>It was just the most credible incredible still is. Yeah,

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 4>we're still in touch, and I mean Sill was thinking

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 4>about it.

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 5>They're this family, I mean all the families to clear

0:19:36.960 --> 0:19:39.160
<v Speaker 5>this point, they're all incredible and so deserving.

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.960
<v Speaker 3>But it started with the Warrants. That was the first episode.

0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.880
<v Speaker 5>We found and it just has They all have such

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 5>lasting impressions on us.

0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's your favorite part, just being able to

0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 2>connect with the families, in connection with.

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.800
<v Speaker 5>The family and working with our team and the incredible

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.680
<v Speaker 5>crew that's on the show. I think all of those

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.920
<v Speaker 5>we have amazing. We have an amazing team of designers

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.440
<v Speaker 5>and contractor. Wendell and Arion are on the show with us,

0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 5>and meeting them we had just.

0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 4>It's the word family is really what comes to mind,

0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:13.120
<v Speaker 4>because it's not just the families that were all here

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 4>to support and work for, it's also a family with

0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:19.280
<v Speaker 4>our crew, a family with our team, a family with

0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 4>Arion and Wendell. Everyone came together in such unison and

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 4>it was truly the most I mean it sounds so cliche,

0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.879
<v Speaker 4>but it was just the most life changing, life affirming

0:20:33.280 --> 0:20:35.479
<v Speaker 4>situation I've ever in my life been a part of.

0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:41.919
<v Speaker 4>I've never ever had anything so transformational to me happened.

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.120
<v Speaker 4>And you know, we've had a lot happen in our

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:46.720
<v Speaker 4>in our lives, but this show, being able to film,

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 4>the show, being a family all together, being with the

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:54.080
<v Speaker 4>families that were that we're here to build a.

0:20:54.040 --> 0:20:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Home for It's just I don't even have words for now.

0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 5>I don't either. It's just been incredible, what an experience.

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 5>We're just the luckiest people.

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Okay, Leah, you talked about this past year has

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.040
<v Speaker 2>been you know, hard or heavy. I can't remember exactly

0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 2>the word that you used, but you've been very open

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 2>about your health journey.

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Can you share how you're doing now?

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:37.760
<v Speaker 4>And yeah, so I in November, I was two years.

0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Since my last.

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Since I ended chemo and radiation, So two years of

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 4>being cancer free or what doctors like to say no

0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:50.320
<v Speaker 4>evidence of disease, which it's like no one can just

0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:51.480
<v Speaker 4>say the words cancer free.

0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:53.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm like, okay, but like can we just can we

0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 3>call it that?

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:59.360
<v Speaker 4>But you know, so two years out, I am still

0:21:59.760 --> 0:22:03.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm my cancer. My breast cancer was hormone positive. So

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:08.160
<v Speaker 4>for people who understand that world. My cancer essentially feeds

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 4>on hormones, which means I've had a great long couple

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:19.400
<v Speaker 4>of years of hormone suppression. I have removed my ovaries,

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:22.600
<v Speaker 4>I got a new forectomy about six months ago, and

0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:28.480
<v Speaker 4>I still take medication, multiple medications, twice a day every day,

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:33.680
<v Speaker 4>and I will for the next several years. I think

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 4>I'll be on certain medications up for another ten years

0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:43.320
<v Speaker 4>or so. So it's definitely been a process. Not having

0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 4>not being an active treatment is still it's an amazing

0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 4>thing to not have active treatment, but treatment still remains,

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:53.880
<v Speaker 4>and it's a long, long process, and I don't think

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:57.080
<v Speaker 4>that a lot of people understand that that it's you know,

0:22:57.240 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 4>there's still a very long tail when you have cancer.

0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:03.680
<v Speaker 3>So but I am really fortunate.

0:23:03.320 --> 0:23:06.280
<v Speaker 4>That because of my specific diagnosis, I'm able to take

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm eligible to take some of these medications. Not everyone is,

0:23:09.600 --> 0:23:13.240
<v Speaker 4>so I consider myself lucky in all regards.

0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Really. I also have just hopefully.

0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:20.560
<v Speaker 4>Finished my last reconstruction surgery that was just in November,

0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:25.960
<v Speaker 4>so still very recent that that may marks my seventh

0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:30.160
<v Speaker 4>surgery since being diagnosed. So you know, again it's still

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:30.960
<v Speaker 4>all a process.

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 3>It's ongoing. Just because.

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Just because you stop, you know, your radiation treatments and

0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.960
<v Speaker 4>your chemo treatments, does not mean that you know you're

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:44.080
<v Speaker 4>out of the shadow of cancer by any stretch. And

0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:47.359
<v Speaker 4>I definitely I like to remind people of that. For

0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 4>anyone that has friends and family who were going through

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:57.439
<v Speaker 4>cancer treatment, they're likely still not completely finished. And I

0:23:57.440 --> 0:23:59.679
<v Speaker 4>think it's important for people to understand that.

0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, agreed, Thank you for sharing and being so open

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:07.639
<v Speaker 2>about it. I'm sorry for all that you've been through

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and and hope that you know you are able to

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:18.119
<v Speaker 2>continue to use the medications and and be healthy.

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Oh I'm trucking. I am not. Yeah, I promised you.

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Good, good good.

0:24:26.680 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 2>That's powerful, Joanna. How is it like being the best

0:24:31.800 --> 0:24:34.560
<v Speaker 2>die of somebody going through something.

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 1>So heavy like that? How is it?

0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:38.639
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:24:38.760 --> 0:24:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I my husband has lime disease and in it it's

0:24:42.320 --> 0:24:45.800
<v Speaker 2>really hard when the people that you love are are

0:24:45.840 --> 0:24:53.040
<v Speaker 2>suffering and you know, facing something so so medically heavy.

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:54.479
<v Speaker 1>You know how?

0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:58.200
<v Speaker 2>How what's the advice that you would give to people

0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 2>who are trying to be there for their loved ones?

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:06.240
<v Speaker 2>How can you best be there for them? What has

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 2>what have you found was a way that you were

0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 2>able to help Clea through.

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.199
<v Speaker 5>That's a good question. I think everyone's so different on

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.399
<v Speaker 5>what they need, you know. It's just so it's so

0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:21.800
<v Speaker 5>frustrating and upsetting because you can't take away I you know,

0:25:21.920 --> 0:25:24.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm not an oncologist. I can't like do anything like

0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:27.600
<v Speaker 5>I can't give her medical advice like I I'm just

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:29.919
<v Speaker 5>like on the journey with her in the way that

0:25:30.000 --> 0:25:32.280
<v Speaker 5>I am. And it's just it's so hard not to

0:25:32.280 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 5>be able to just take the disease away myself, you know,

0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 5>I just want it to be done, and it's so unfair.

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:39.719
<v Speaker 5>And you know, I feel that way about so many people,

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:44.119
<v Speaker 5>you know, faced with these terrible illnesses. I mean, the

0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 5>thing I know about Clia is that she is a

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:48.440
<v Speaker 5>powerhouse and like, no one's going to get in the way.

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:51.159
<v Speaker 5>If she has our mindset on, you know, conquering something,

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:53.560
<v Speaker 5>there is nothing that's going to stop her. So it

0:25:53.600 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 5>was never I never had the worry because I just

0:25:56.680 --> 0:25:59.080
<v Speaker 5>know who she is and I really wasn't worried that

0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:01.760
<v Speaker 5>this was going to be it. I just hate it

0:26:01.800 --> 0:26:05.560
<v Speaker 5>to see her suffering in any with anything holding her

0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:08.879
<v Speaker 5>back from her like absolute potential at that time. So

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:11.120
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if that answers your question, but I you.

0:26:11.080 --> 0:26:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Know, I don't.

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:13.560
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if I was that helpful. I just

0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:16.280
<v Speaker 5>I was just I just hated watching her having to

0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:16.800
<v Speaker 5>navigate this.

0:26:16.920 --> 0:26:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well I will say, yeah, you were helpful. But

0:26:20.040 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 4>I think it's really important. People ask all the time

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:25.400
<v Speaker 4>how they can be there for other people going through treatment,

0:26:25.880 --> 0:26:28.600
<v Speaker 4>And the truth is, everyone is so different. You need

0:26:28.640 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 4>to meet them where they are, and you can't help

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:36.480
<v Speaker 4>someone with thinking. You can't help someone in the only

0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 4>in the way that you would want to be helped.

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:41.639
<v Speaker 4>You really have to understand how they want to be helped.

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:44.600
<v Speaker 4>And some people need people around them.

0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 3>That's that's how.

0:26:45.680 --> 0:26:50.120
<v Speaker 4>I was, Like, I was really afraid of being lonely.

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 4>That was like always on my mind, and I needed

0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 4>people around me.

0:26:54.320 --> 0:26:55.480
<v Speaker 3>And a lot of people have.

0:26:55.560 --> 0:26:59.840
<v Speaker 4>A completely opposite take a completely opposite view. Some people,

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, they might need rides to chemo appointments.

0:27:04.640 --> 0:27:05.480
<v Speaker 3>They might you know.

0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:08.400
<v Speaker 4>Other people are like, I just need to be alone

0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:10.880
<v Speaker 4>and I don't want anyone extra there.

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, everyone's needs.

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Are are different, and I just think it's really important

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:19.160
<v Speaker 4>to get to understand the person that you're trying to help.

0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:23.199
<v Speaker 4>Not just well, my feeling is like I want people around,

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 4>so I'm going to make sure to do the same

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 4>for other people.

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.000
<v Speaker 3>That's like, not really the way it works.

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:32.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's such good advice. And now you have a

0:27:32.720 --> 0:27:35.960
<v Speaker 2>whole new family to get you through the hard times.
