After her life went through a series of difficult transitions, Julie found herself suffering from issues revolving around hoarding. As she faced many internal battles after the breakdown of a relationship and her father falling seriously ill – her external environment became increasingly cluttered. Here, we see how Julie reached out to Brandon Bronaugh and his expert team for hoarder clean up assistance, and how they plan to help her to declutter her condo.
Julie is a scenic fabricator; she is an expert in her field and builds things amongst the likes of movie sets and museum exhibits. Unfortunately, her life descended into chaos after her elderly father had to relocate to a nursing home after falling ill. Since Julie is an only child, all the pressure fell on her to look after her father. As her father was constantly in and out of the hospital, Julie began to feel under more and more strain. After her dad moved into the nursing home, all his possessions fell into the hands of Julie – who had no other choice but to store them in her 1000-square-foot condo.
Cluttered Living in A Hoarded Household
Julie became overwhelmed by the number of items that she had to store in her condo, it was not only her father’s items – but her grandmothers’ items which had been stored at her father’s house for over 20 years. What makes discarded items so difficult to throw out, is the level of sentimentality that is attached to these items. Yet, when a living environment becomes overly cluttered – the joy and enjoyment that comes from hoarded these items become diminished. After 15 years of living in her condo, she felt like she has never fully moved into her own house, having never been able to unpack properly.

It is for this reason that Julie feels that it is important to deal with this issue head-on now before the situation gets too dire. Therefore, she reached out to LifeCycle Transitions, so that she can finally feel comfortable and happy in her home.
