Parents Hoarding? How to Approach the Situation

Sep 23, 2019 | The Professional Noticer

Not only are they at risk of being buried under piles of stuff…the mother has started smoking again, and the son is worried they could become trapped if the place catches fire. He wants to know how to get them to unload their “treasures.”

Andy also answers a question from someone who has worked hard for 35 years at achieving professional goals, only to have them not pan out as expected. He’s discouraged and tells Andy that he has watched people with less experience accomplish these same goals because of their connections. Feeling lost and weary, he wants to know, “What now?”

Tune in to hear Andy read from The Noticer and list astonishing examples of MASSIVE accomplishments that weren’t started until late in several people's lives.
