Today’s episode has a content warning for discussion of suicide.
Have
you ever seen pictures or video of a hoarder house, and just
wondered, what is going on?
I
mean, everyone has a different tolerance level for clutter. But
hoarding is not just an issue of having a messy living environment.
It’s actually classified as a distinct mental illness. The American
Psychiatric Association says hoarding is characterized by a
persistent, intense inability to discard possessions – leading to
significant clutter, distress, and impairment in daily living.
My
guest for this episode is one of my favorite people – my friend
Margy. We’ve known each other for years through the podcast
industry, and she actually told this story originally here on What
Was That Like back in 2022. Lots of things have happened with Margy
since then, so stick around til the end for an update from her.
Margy
was an adult when her dad died. She came back home and saw the job
that had to be done, and she channeled her grief into energy. And
what seemed like an impossible challenge didn’t defeat her –
rather, it made her unstoppable.
