Hello!
This is my personal experience growing up in a Hoarder Home.
I've always turned to YouTube to feel less alone, and when circumstances in my life brought this trauma to the surface, I realized there wasn't a video that I connected with about this...SO I decided to make the video I was looking for.
✨You are not alone with this trauma, I am right there with you✨

If you feel safe/open, I'd love it if you could comment down below your experience and let's hold space for one another.
We can bring unity through a trauma that can make us otherwise feel alone!
Thank you for holding/sharing space with me... until next time! 💕
