I Quit: Clutter Busting Clutter Busting

I share about how I let go of being the Clutter Buster. After 22 years, it was time to let it go. I feel a tremendous peace. I'm grateful for the work I did, and now it's time for something new. I'm curious to see what's next.

I love this so much. Thank you for putting it out there. 🙏🏼🥰✨💝🎵🥳

Hi Brooks!
I just discovered you a few days ago on Insight Timer and I’m listening to your book which I bought on Audible. I’m glad that you retired if you needed to, but I want you to know that you’re helping me so much! I’ve had a clutter problem for many years. I have decluttered different areas, but never to the point where I felt like I was free. I’ve had nightmares of my clutter.

Your book is really helping me a lot and I hope to be writing soon saying that I did it I’m done. I’m clutter free and I’m free!! 7/5/24

Thank you Brooks. Well done you taking care of you:) It is beautiful to witness.

I don’t know you. And you don’t know me. But YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and beautiful at the end”. Not the exact quote. But I am SO GRATEFUL you were so vulnerable and be willing to share 💕. I don’t know you - but I DO know. You are normal. You WILL re-emerge. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. Give your self grace. If you’re laying in bed every day - that’s okay! You will get bored. You will get up. You are perfect - As YOU, or as the clutter buster. Or as Brooks, the human. Embrace yourself and trust the process of your transformation. Sure. It’s scary. But if you could not do it, you would not have been called to do it. Enjoy the Journey. And follow the road less traveled 😇

Thank you Brooks! Letting go is difficult … a process ~ bravo! 🙏💕

Wow. I just discovered you when searching for declutter talks today and one of your talks inspired me. Wanting to hear more, I came across this talk. I applaud you for ending that which no longer served you. I am familiar with the struggles of letting go of carreer choice and the attachment to the idea of how it will affect others. Great reminder to choose what is best for our growth. That said, I do hope to hear more of your insight that will help inspire me on my path. Thank you. 🙏 ❤

God's plan for us is amazing and although it's hard to see in the midst of the change, it will be revealed to us. Proud of you, do you still to stand up comedy?

How exciting for you, Brooks! 🌟 Thank you for your insightful talks on IT during the pandemic, which I have found to be invaluable.🙏 I am extremely grateful, and I wish you all the best for now and the future. ✨

I am so grateful for your presence…and your vulnerability, honesty and authenticity! It’s such a gift!
I’ve learned and grown from listening to you and want to thank you for teaching and connecting in such a thoughtful, kind and deeply spiritual way! And you’re still teaching as you share your experience of letting go of Clutter Busting. Enjoy what comes next. Deep bow of gratitude and love to you, Brooks! 💜💫🙏🏼🌟💚

I hope you jump on once in awhile to let us know about your new dreams! Your talk resonated with me because we do get attached to titles and I'm also like many are choosing different passionate paths. You have helped me clutter bust. NAMASTE

Brooks, you are a brave and honest person to share with us (your insight timer community) your new level of self awareness. Just as you've been there for us, it's nice to know we can be there for you. I hope you continue to share aspects of your journey with us. Be well and I wish you the best. You are so relatable and easy to listen to and learn from. Thank you for the inspiration! 🤩 This is a 7-star review!!

Love you, Brooks. You’ve helped me lots. The clutter busting concept is a whole life enterprise, as you teach it. It’s essentially about spiritual growth. Or as one old time teacher said, ‘discharge cargo’. Take a load off! And you’re so kindly and nonviolent in your conversation. When I want comfort, I turn to you. And when I meditate, I’m sure that I’m clutter busting.

Thank you for the years you have devoted to helping people - myself included - release their clutter.

I retired in December for many of the same reasons, after 14 years in that position, around 21 years in the field, and more than 30 if volunteer work is added in. It was truly a relief, as you said. Though I am not actually truly retired - my husband and I have a side business I am working with more now - the lack of job-related stress is so wonderful! My mind is clearer and I am better able to focus on the last phases of my doctoral program, and I am finally able to feel comfortable devoting the time needed to self-care for my various medical conditions as well.

Thank you for the years you have devoted to helping people - myself included - release their clutter. Time to heed the call of the wild and wonderful world, and see what new adventures are out there for you. 😊

I see you and the light within you. Be well, Brooks. Much gratitude. 🤲🏻❤🤲🏻

Wow Brooks, thank you for sharing the details of your resignation. What a profound illustration of how everything changes, and "anything beyond a YES is a red flag." Spirit has used you to teach ultimate clutter busting lessons, from your lungs, to even your profession! I'm sure many will continue to benefit from your courses and recordings. Thank you for everything you have done to help us all...we wish YOU the best! 🙏❤️

I guess even the clutter busting can seem like clutter after a while lol ...good luck in your next endeavor

Congratulations on your retirement 👏 I have enjoyed your talks and meditation only recently finding you. I hope I get through them on on Insight Timer before they too are retired. Thank you for your support!

I too am retiring from my job as a DBA in March and feel it's time after all these years in IT. It's uneasy to a certain level but well deserved after 40 plus years. I'm looking forward as I hope you are too.

Best wishes for your break from clutter busting and while waiting for the next thing, enjoy this day, this moment.

Be well! Namaste 🙏 👋

Brooks, I just found you on IT and miss you already! What an inspiring and peaceful talk about moving on from one stage of your life to the next. Peace, love and joy to you.

Oh, and being late to the party, I am checking out two of your books from the library, and will be listening to your talks and meditations here on IT. Thank you for popping into my view today!

Thank-you Brooks, for being honest and open. Wishing you many joyful adventures ahead!

Thank you
