A good example of a life client of ours was a woman we
met while she was living at her aunt's house. This
ambitious divorcee ran a business out of her aunt's
basement, but needed some help staying organized.
Coming from a family of hoarders, she needed to be taught
the life skill of being organized. As her belongings piled
up, even the storage unit she was renting wasn’t enough.
We have since been working with this client on and off for
the past 13 years, helping her deal with her mother’s
belongings after her passing. When her father passed
away and our client went to clean out his house, she called
to tell us, “I can’t believe I used to live like this,” as she
stood in a mess not very different from the one we had
helped her with. Over time, and after taking an
organization course with Susan at Northern Essex
Community College, this woman opened a new business
and enjoys teaching clients time management skills she
has learned. She went on to overcome illness, find love,
and even get rid of her storage unit.
