In the final episode of this second season of ”Extreme Clutter” with Peter Walsh on OWN, the story is an amazing one.  While often we are introduced to families that are working to regain control of their homes and their own journey through life, this week we are taken into the world of Leanne Paddock and her family and gain an understanding that everyone needs a little help…and hanging on to things is something we all deal with…whether they are tucked under the bed or tucked inside an airplane hanger.  On this season’s finale, Peter is faced with his biggest storage clean out and transforms the lives of what has been holding this family back and helps them lift the burden and move forward into the future.  Here are some of the lessons that this amazing family and visit brought to our lives…

  • Things don’t always appear as they seem.
  • A family’s capacity to love is endless…you just have to open up your heart and sometimes your home to it.  Be open for it to find you. 
  • “Every child deserves a forever family.” – Leanne Paddock
  • If you need a storage unit, ask yourself why are you hanging on to the stuff.
  • Sell off your storage stuff – Sell your big stuff and make some of your money back that you paid on storage.
  • Slow down and see how you move through your day and don’t forget to put yourself on your list.
  • Pantry MISTAKE – Buying containers.  If you are going to have storage, make sure that it’s used and useable.  Don’t just fill the pantry with more chaos.
  • Your stuff is not a reflection of you.  Your family and your life is the true reflection of you. – Peter Walsh
  • Family wins every single time.  – “If it’s a choice between you and your family, family wins every single time.” – Peter Walsh
  • When you tackle a room remember…the first few hours may be tough and traumatic but it’s always worth it.  Stick to the process and stick with it until the very end.
  • “Helping others is a great thing but not when it  jeopardizes the life that you and your family should be living.” -Peter Walsh
  • Learn to say “Help” and “No” in your life.  – Peter Walsh
  • It’s time to let go of what you don’t use & make space for your new life & experiences to come!
  • Letting go of stuff you don’t need or use lifts the weight off your life & lets your life soar! 
  • Taking care of the world is so amazing…but in the process don’t forget to take care of yourself…
