Damon: They've gone from being managed by a substance to being managed by their things.

Dorothy: And we only see that because we are free of the substance, right? Or the process.

Dorothy: Suddenly we see our home—or not really a home, it’s a cluttered home.

Dorothy: You have to sort through each item so you can live that life you want to live.

Intro: You're listening to The Recovered Life Show, helping people live their best recovered lives.

Damon: I'm so thrilled to have my guest on today, Dorothy Breininger, organizational expert from the show Hoarders.

Damon: I wanted to talk with you about organization and mental health. Why even get organized?

Dorothy: Well, some of us deal with anxiety naturally. Not being able to find what you want raises that level.

Dorothy: Organization is what’s good for you in particular. I want to give a shoutout to my artists.

Damon: No matter where you are on your journey, it’s all about thinking clarity.

Damon: If your life is disorganized, your thinking tends to be disorganized.

Damon: I'll let it go and let it go until my life starts
