The latest Feel Good Hour Podcast is out…
With National Old Stuff Day falling on Monday 2 March, we’re talking about hoarding - one of the UK’s most misunderstood mental health conditions.
It’s often dismissed as mess or disorganisation, but for millions of people it’s something far deeper, affecting health, homes and relationships.
Joining Sam, as always, is Nigel Jones - life coach, hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, author of Walking Back to Happiness, and founder of 9KM BY 9AM. Nigel works with behaviour change at a deep emotional level and helps people make changes that are realistic, compassionate and lasting.
National Old Stuff Day is a timely moment to reflect on our relationship with possessions - why we keep things, what they represent emotionally, and when holding on stops being comforting and starts becoming harmful. This isn’t about blame or forced clear-outs. It’s about understanding and taking small, safe steps.
Hoarding isn’t about laziness or mess - it’s about emotion, safety and identity. Change doesn’t start with bin bags. It starts with compassion and one small step.
If you suffer from hoarding (or know someone that does) and are interested in help through coaching, NLP and hypnotherapy, please get in touch - nigel@9kmby9am.com.
