listennn, Melissa is a goddess-send! i'm not ashamed to admit i was in tears at the start of this endeavor. i was so overwhelmed by where to start! and life has been life-ing extra hard lately...so when Melissa arrived in my home, i chickened out! i told her i would be happy to pay her fee, but i wasn't feeling emotionally up to it, and asked if could we postpone.
she had the most caring and kind expression on her face as she said "absolutely, i'd be happy to try again another time, but hey, since i'm here, can i get to know the space a bit? and could you maybe just show me five items that you have strong feelings about?"
girl!!! in the process of selecting five items, she asked me questions that helped me see a framework for decision-making. i overthink everything, and i worry that letting go of things will bring regret in the future, so decision-making is so hard for me! she made it so fun. so easy. she is very intuitive- she could tell when i was experiencing a twinge of doubt, and she helped me through it, and before i knew it, four hours had passed and i had a sparkling and full-of-promise CLOSET!
i can see my things! we removed all of the clutter that was covering my favorite clothing items and making it so i never enjoyed them. it feels like i can breathe deeper. i no longer get overloaded by the decision of what to wear, because all of those items that didn't work but were still good for something are no longer crowding my view. i feel like a better version of myself.
i can't wait to have Melissa back to work on my teenage daughter's closets! read more
