Testimonials

“I have just finished listening to your interview with Donna Sam. Thanks for the great tips for decluttering. Your tips of acceptance, of helping listeners to receive kind ministrations of comfort, as “Clutter has nothing to do with Stuff but everything to do with Self” (I may have paraphrased) set us on the path to continued healing in 2010. Emphasizing differences of how each of us learns is particularly helpful for those of us who struggle daily with challenges of A.D.D.

You are an inspiration! Wall Street lost a valuable asset when you left
your position there…the rest of us now reap the benefit of your move!

A grateful listener” — Susan McCoy

Thank you so much for your program, Calm the Overwhelm. It is one of the most valuable, productive programs I have ever done.  It helped me not only to organize my home and home office, but to become more organized in my activities as well.  Because of the tips and instructions, I was able to get rid of a lot of “stuff” that I no longer need.  I now have more room in my home and my home office so that the “stuff” I do use has a convenient place right where I need it.

“All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you. You are amazing! Yesterday’s action day was great…I got so much accomplished!

After just one week of being in boot camp I get it! I now understand what the saying “you can’t organize clutter” really means and most importantly what to do about it!

During the Day of Action I worked in my office/showroom and I can’t believe I am actually going to have what I’ve always wanted….a space in there to do my own project. I always dreamed of moving to a bigger house with an extra room for me to use…little did I know that I had the room all along.  I am so excited about continuing to declutter (something I never enjoyed I’m now looking forward to!)…..what a difference a week had made….wow…I can just imagine what things will be like in a few more weeks. I can hardly wait!

I really am sooooooo happy I had the opportunity to do the Escape Your Clutter Boot Camp with you….it’s been an invaluable experience for me and worth so much more than I ever thought it would be. It has made a really big impact on me and my life!” — Helene, NJ

“The Boot Camp was great! On the Day of Action a part of me dreaded getting into the stuff but I since I paid money for it and set aside the time for it I felt a sense of accountability. Besides, I really wanted it done so after the first call I got myself up & got into it and what kept me going that day were the check in phone calls. Each call helped keep me motivated and kept giving me the push I needed.

Carrie, I have to say that you are amazing.  When I think about how much you’ve put into just our group alone I can’t imagine how you do it” — Jeanne S., NJ

Carrie, the questions you gave us to ask ourselves are so critical to everything and not just organizing. These questions have changed the way I think and have empowered me. I feel a lot of relief, like a weight has lifted off & it has motivated me to move more. This program pushed me in the right direction and has given me hope.” — Nora P, NJ

“I have found so many things that I had been hunting for and thrown so much crap away! I feel lighter! You should see the things that I’m driving over to Goodwill tonight. I figure that I can make someone else happy with the good stuff that I don’t need anymore.  Carrie, The boot camp has really changed my perspective and having you guide me to the real reasons why I hadn’t cleaned it up and why I needed to, helped so much. I was able to ask the questions as I went along and get rid of more than I ever could have before.  I’ve tried for years to do it myself and just could not get the motivation and support to do it. I’ve come to realize that I just can’t do it alone, I need help (which for me is hard to admit!).  Thanks for being nonjudgmental and helping me realize that I’m not alone in this process!” — Joyce J, WA

“I have felt so badly all my life about my inability to clean up and clear out, I got to the point of not being able to function. Self esteem wise, I have hated that disorganized part of me all my life! To find that there is an answer is an uplifting gift you can’t put a price upon! I knew something must be out there to take me to the next step. Many thanks to you, I now have a plan to start with! Again, I thank you for your generosity of sharing yourself and your knowledge so that I can begin living a great and healthy life. I consider you one of my greatest blessings in helping to live a functional and organized life!” — Sandy Honeywell

“Carrie, thank you. You’ve inspired and helped me. You’ve made my life exciting and helped me gain possession of my life for the first time. I’m feeling very alive. I’m thinking and functioning in a new and different way & you’re the angel who delivered it.” — Elizabeth N., NY

“Today I listened to the program you did -I have ADD, Do I have to be Disorganized Too?. I wanted to tell you of all the ‘classes’ I have listened to the way this was structured and you kept on track has been one of the most helpful ones I have listened to. Thank you so much for understanding ‘our’ needs as well as you do.” — Cindy RR, FL

“Carrie, the Gold VIP program has been wonderful. ADD is a tough situation and coaching, especially with you, has helped me a lot. I come to each of our calls with a sense of excitement and hope and always leave our calls with a surge of confidence and a renewed sense of strength. I know that I will be able to accomplish whatever plans we create and that they will move me towards my overall goals.

Practically speaking, the best thing about coaching has been that I have been able to learn how to help myself and learn techniques that really make sense to me. With your help, I have been able to devise new strategies that help me get through my days productively. I have created new systems to handle paperwork and bills. I have learned new ways to make decisions about the kinds of things that I need to keep in my life and the types of things that I can let go of.

Of all of the things I’ve used to help myself over all of these years having you as my coach has been the best.” — Barb R., FL

“I cannot believe how much junk I was able to clear out since Tuesday – junk, papers, e-mails, etc….I almost had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming. My place looks better than it has in years, and I feel like it would have taken many months to do this on my own. Now that many of my storage areas are cleared out, I actually have room to store stuff there that has been sitting out because I had no place to put it. When my space is clear around me, I’m able to think much more clearly and work more efficiently, and can really see space being made for the kind of life I want! (Not just physical space, but time and freedom.) I can also feel my self confidence starting to grow, because without piles and junk around me, I’m not constantly reminded of the habits I’ve been trying to change. Thank you so much for all you’ve helped me to accomplish in just one session!” — L.R., MN

“Thank you Carrie, your information is both informative, supportive and comforting.” – L. Singer, NY

“Carrie, Working with you has been such a liberating experience! With your guidance, I have been able to tackle piles of clutter and paperwork which have been interfering with my life for too long and draining me of my time and energy.  In talking with you, you have helped me to recognize what’s important, and that the things I choose to keep need to make me happy or have a valid purpose for being in my life. More importantly, you’ve enabled me to make better decisions, follow through with goals, and feel better about myself in the process.  Your time has been a true gift, and for that I will always be grateful! Thank you!” — Tina Traina, NJ

“I loved the audio class. I especially like your sensible, practical approach to procrastination and organization. Your approach and tips take into account who each person is.

Thanks again for your help and kindness.” — Lillian Mills, B.S., M.Ed., C.L.C.

“Thanks to your insights and knowledge as an AD/HD coach, you are uniquely able to address the common problems that we are facing. You put our group at ease by first sharing your knowledge of the issues, and then sharing solutions to these common stumbling blocks. Your relaxed style, and your humor, make the time spent listening to you delightful. Your stories and examples are down to earth, and so we all felt that you were part of the world that we are living in.” (read more) — Jane Milrod, Coordinator, Princeton/Mercer CHADD

“The power of being coached by Carrie was magnified by the power of the group.

The extra bonus is that this was all at a more affordable rate than individual work would have been.” — Jenifer, Vancouver, Canada

“It’s been only 1 week since we talked and I’ve already organized my office and saved over $500. I found errors on bills that I wouldn’t have taken the time to review before. By the way, that $500 doesn’t include the money I am saving on late fees or money I’m saving by not buying things I already had but couldn’t find.” — Doreen, NJ

“It’s amazing how having a system that works for me can give me so much free time. At the end of the day yesterday I stood in my clean office and realized I had gained almost an hour by not having to hunt things down. Thank you, thank you for your part in this. ” — Carol, NJ

“I have been trying my best to fight the chaos alone for a year. Though I’ve made some in roads, progress has been painfully slow and limited until I met you and began to see some effective approaches to achieving projects that are difficult for me. The work I’ve done in the first week with you would have taken me 4-6 months on my own if I would have thought of doing it on my own. Your questions helped me evaluate what was most important to me and to work effectively, utilizing my strengths, to make that happen.” — Barb, FL

“As I look around my office I must admit, though I keep the systems well in place, I’m a freak on a daily basis. My floor is “littered’ with paper. The good news is that tomorrow it all gets “filed” somewhere. You’ve been an unbelievable asset – and, you can quote me any time.” — Joan, NJ

“Carrie gave a fabulous presentation to SEPTA, Special Education Parent- Teacher Association, on the topic of Teaching Your Child to be Organized.

I have started implementing our ideas, and I am already feeling more efficient and in control. Thank you Carrie!” — Dianne, NJ
