Per everyone’s request, I have posted links to my podcast 5 Decisions Away, so that you don’t have to download it on iTunes. If you do like it, PLEASE subscribe free on iTunes.

Let me stress, this is not for everyone. It’s crass, rude, funny and hopefully entertaining and informative. It’s been described as gross and inspirational, which is our goal. My Clutter Cleaner partner in crime, Cabell Hatchett, and myself talk about how we ended up cleaning hoarded homes and about the interesting thi...

Summer is officially over and it's time for me to get back to work. Sorry I've been mia for the past few months, but I've been filming episodes of HOARDERS and promoting my new book, The Secret Lives of Hoarders. Thanks to you guys, for making my book a success!

Many readers have been asking to see the links of all the cool publicity we got over the summer, so here they are. I'll be getting back to writing this fall and as always, I hope you guys will interact and respond.  Although this post ...

I NEED YOUR HELP!

You may or may not know, but I've been working with A&E to create my own show for a while now.  The time has finally come and A&E is airing my new pilot on this Saturday, June 18th at 1pm EST.

The new show is called Dirty Money and I need you to DVR it or watch it at 1pm on Saturday, June 18th.  It's a perfect warm up for the Hoarders premier on Monday, June 20th.

I am still going to be on Hoarders and I am stoked to have this opportunity to possibly get my own show on A&E at ...

I want to apologize in advance for the self centered posts that I will post this week.  I don't want to be a person that talks about them self all the time, but this week I have to.  It's promo week.  I am traveling to the big city (NYC) to promote all things Hoarders. The new Season of Hoarders starts June 20th and  my book, The Secret Lives of Hoarders came out last week (I know, brand new information to you guys).

This week I will be on Good Morning America on Tuesday in the 8am hour...

This is a short video of me buying my new book that is out today. It’s available online and in most stores nationwide. We are very excited and hope that people will read it to gain a better understanding of hoarding and hoarders. This book follows 10 of my clients over the past years and gives my opinions on how to provide true help for hoarders. I think most of you will be surprised that it’s easy to read and you will walk away with some great tips.

If you are a hoarder or one of your loved...

I was flying home from a Hoarders shoot this weekend and I saw this waiting outside of a flight headed to Florida.  Wow!

I heard an expert say at the NASMM conference a few months ago that in the United States 10,000 people will turn 60 every day for the next 20 years. But this sight really put it in perspective and it got me thinking.  Who is going to roll each one of these seniors onto the plane? How much longer is the flight going to take to get everyone seated? How does the airline...

I promised to let you guys into my mind and what happens behind the scenes on a hoarding job.  So, here I am sitting in the hotel a little after midnight thinking about the hoard I was in today.  I'm having one of those nights where your mind is working harder than you want it to.  I just want to chill out, but I just can't stop thinking. I can't stop thinking that I don't want to go to work tomorrow.  I don't want to pick up another dead animal or figure out if the poop on the floor is from ...
