Love hearing you talk about donating and making actionable recommendations for your community to do the same! I think another amazing step would be just more mindful consumption in general. Really making intentional choices to wear what you already own, not buying new things for a trip when you have items that would already work well, etc. I know your job is to influence us and I think influencing people to be more mindful with their consumption is an amazing thing to keep at the forefront.

I love that you showed your closets even if you weren’t 100% done with them. I love the realness 💗 you go girl

a eucalyptus mint shower sounds like HEAVEN! ugh obsessed. im so excited to try

Aww G! Thanks for sharing! I hate that I get easily overwhelmed too. I always love hearing from you! It helps me to hear I’m not alone :) Also happy you are documenting the process! That helps me get started too!

Hey Gretchen thank you for the reminder for self-care. I feel like I always need to be doing something and I burn myself out. It’s so important to take a little time for yourself!

cape vlogs>>>>

The min I’m like “I wonder if Gretch-“ yeah she did 😂 you’re such a radiant human!!

Literally just went through the toughest 3 years of my life, and all that got me through was prayer/reflection, spending time with others (dedicated down time), and weekly self care nights

When I was moving and going through a semester of grad school, I just broke everything down piece by piece that way everything seemed less overwhelming. Things can seem like a lot but you got this G!

Coming from my therapist brain it sounds like you could benefit from some grounding activities. you can look specific ones up online but calming your body and mind would be really helpful! I like 5 senses grounding, safe space, going outside barefoot focusing on how your feet feel on the ground, body scans, progressive muscle relaxation, anything like that!

Could you maybe turn the space on the third floor where that bed couch was last year into a closet?

When I feel overwhelmed I just go outside and take a walk.

I absolutely love this vlog Gretchen

I love your pink jacket and blue jeans combo ! You look like one of the Pink Ladies from Grease the movie!❤

Yes BBBS shoutout!

So excited for cape summer vlogs😍

maybe you can implement a "buy 1 new thing get rid of 3 old items" policy?

I am from the cape and I feel!! My parents built out a cedar closet in our basement to store clothes that were not in season. If you guys have a basement, you may want to look into that. Just a thought !

You should turn one of the smaller guest rooms into a closet for you and Max

Have a day a week where you do nothing and have no plans they call it "rotting days" lol it really helps to recharge and stress less!

I'm so excited

Gretchen, do you still self tan or get sprays? Your tan always looks so even!

Orijen Amazing grains dog food is the best. My dog loves it!

Try California Closets

I love your al pink sweatsuit! You look like Regina George's mom (the cool mom) from Mean Girls!❤

Hi Gretchen happy Monday afternoon and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter

Can you link your jeans from the beginning of the vlog ?

Hey Gretchen

Set yourself work hours with specific breaks

Whenever I feel anxious, I go to God's Word the Bible. There are tons of verses on anxiety. One of my favorites is: Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

seeing a therapist can help!

I feel like your always explaining and justifying when u rlly dont need to, girl we want to see the nitty gritty! i would rather see u doing the actual clean out then explaining

Have always loved gretchen but this is so out of touch.. you are overwhelmed bc you’re going on a staycation and out for breakfast?😂 imagine having a job

Try soaking your thumb in vinegar to help the bruised nail
