23

24

25
:Well, let me introduce you
to my two guests today.
26
:First is Jennifer Harris.
27
:Jennifer is a mom, designer, entrepreneur,

37
:Her passion in life is helping people

38
:though her first love remains her family.
39
:Jennifer Courtney, welcome to the show.
40
:Hello.
41
:for having us.
42
:I'm so excited to have you both on because
I've had the privilege of getting to
43
:see you bring this baby to life, which
is your new book, which just came out.
44
:Just launched here recently called
reframe and reclaim, but tell
45
:everyone a little bit more about
the book and how it came to be.
46
:Yeah.
47
:So the origin story of reframe and reclaim
really started about three years ago in
48
:the fall of 2021, when I started noticing
patterns within my own family and how
49
:we, our relationship with our belongings.
50
:And I noticed these
patterns were generational.
51
:So from my grandparents to my mom, and.
52
:For my family.
53
:So my history is I have a
lot of sentimentality when
54
:it comes to belongings.
55
:So both my grandfathers passed
away when I was nine years old.
56
:My father passed away when I was, was 15.
57
:And so for me, this book really started as
evaluating my sentimentality around these
58
:items and how I put so much emphasis.
59
:on these sentimental items around
my loved ones who had passed away.
60
:So that started me thinking and I
reached out to Courtney, who's a mental
61
:health professional, and we just started
having conversations about why do I
62
:do these things or people in general,
why they do these things and why they
63
:have You know, have the self identity
and this emphasis on their belongings.
64
:And so we had these conversations
and it kind of morphed into,
65
:Hey, you want to write a book?
66
:Like, I think this could be
really helpful for people.
67
:So the way the book is formatted
is it starts out with me sharing
68
:my personal journey and my stories
about how I've used certain excuses
69
:or how I have not let go of.
70
:So I really don't need any more.
71
:They're not serving a purpose in my home.
72
:Some are even not, some
are even negative feelings.
73
:You know, I keep the item, but it has
a real negative connotation to it.
74
:So why am I keeping these items?
75
:So this book is really the story of my
journey and journey of other clients.
76
:We have helped and how we're able to
let go of items that aren't serving
77
:us in our current life chapter.
78
:I think this is huge because so many
people, and I can relate, I won't,
79
:I'll tell you more of my stories
because, but I totally get it, and you
80
:don't want to throw away something,
especially if somebody's passed away,
81
:but what is the psychology behind that?
82
:You know, Courtney, why do we do this?
83
:Why do we hold on?
84
:Well, there, there's so much behind this.
85
:And so, you know, it's not a simple,
Oh, this is why, you know, and so
86
:really we learn a lot about how we do
life and about our, our identities,
87
:how we connect with others through
what we see other people doing.
88
:And so, one of the things that
Jennifer and I really found is it's.
89
:Really generational for her.
90
:There was a lot of, well, my mom kept
things and my grandfather kept things.
91
:And so I just know that you keep
things, but we actually go through many
92
:different excuses or justifications
of why we hold on to things or why we
93
:acquire things in the book and it's
laid out like that in the chapters.
94
:And so there's different
justifications and each justification
95
:is highlighted by each chapter.
96
:Yeah, you mentioned the word generations
and I'm curious if there's any connection
97
:to my grandmother was and, you know,
came in the World War Two kind of the or
98
:actually she was in the Great Depression.
99
:And I know I remember as a little girl she
would even save and reuse paper towels.
100
:Long after she had, they
had plenty of money, right?
101
:But there was, so is that maybe what
some of this generational, like they,
102
:they, they didn't have anything.
103
:So they kept everything.
104
:And then the next generation is
like, well, if my mom kept it,
105
:maybe we should care, kept keep it.
106
:And then the green, it
just goes on and on and on.
107
:Exactly.
108
:Yeah.
109
:That's definitely a part of that.
110
:And I think what's so hard
is, you know, we also create
111
:habits in our life, you know?
112
:So maybe my habit is I collect these
things or, you know, I try to find
113
:Things that are valuable or keep
things that could be worth value.
114
:And I keep that habit until it
doesn't serve me anymore, or I realize
115
:it's not really helpful for me.
116
:So we really do try to explore and
unpack lots of different psychologies
117
:around our identities and our habits
and our connections with our things.
118
:One of the things I really love
about the book is you have a
119
:collection of case studies.
120
:And you know, to really paint
the picture of what, what,
121
:what this really looks like.
122
:Do you mind sharing a couple
of those or some, give us some
123
:ideas of what's really going on.
124
:So like Jen said, a lot of it
starts with her own Like history
125
:and, and sharing her story.
126
:And then we try to find people who
would be willing to let us try some
127
:of our ideas with our reclaim process.
128
:We have a seven step process that
we've identified, we formulated, and
129
:we thought this would be really good.
130
:And so we asked for volunteers to
open up their homes and let us come
131
:in and step in and being a counselor,
you know, a little bit about.
132
:My theory of working with people is not
to say, this is how you got to do it.
133
:Let me show you.
134
:I'm the expert, but really having
it client led and what's different
135
:about this book and some other books
that might be out there is we don't
136
:come in and do for the person we
actually have them tell us what to do.
137
:What they need.
138
:And so we go through the seven, seven
steps and we ask them the questions
139
:along the way and trying to find
out what they hope their function
140
:of their design of their space.
141
:What has, what is one of the challenges
that they're facing when it comes to
142
:their space, and we actually let them
make the decisions as we decide one
143
:thing versus another is this a keep,
or is this a donate, or is this a give
144
:Give to somebody else who might be, um,
wanting this or conserve them as well.
145
:I would love for you to
take us through those seven.
146
:And so people can write them down too.
147
:So, and I know you've touched on it,
but just step, what is number one?
148
:Number one is reflect.
149
:Okay.
150
:We want to make sure that the reflecting
on how the space is currently used,
151
:what is in their space, how their space
feels when they're in their space.
152
:We also wanted them to ask, like,
what they want their space to be.
153
:Okay.
154
:As well.
155
:So maybe one way and what is, what is
the hope that they want at the end?
156
:Okay.
157
:So reflect, stop, you know, really
evaluate basically what you want.
158
:What's number two?
159
:Well, that leads us into
E, which is evaluate.
160
:So, okay.
161
:Or I, I'm sorry.
162
:So you, I said seven step,
but it is the acronym.
163
:It is reclaim.
164
:Yes.
165
:Right.
166
:So R is reflect E is evaluate, evaluate.
167
:And so the evaluate step really is getting
to the root of why you were holding on
168
:to this item and what it's giving you.
169
:And so.
170
:For so how it's like Courtney was saying
how it's broken up in the book is by
171
:the different excuses we tell ourselves.
172
:And so someone who keeps something
because of sentimental versus someone
173
:who's keeping an item because it's, you
know, might be worth something someday.
174
:Or, you know, I might use it one day
because The whole great depression
175
:mentality is going to, we're going
to ask different questions based on
176
:those excuses so that we can really
get to the root of the problem.
177
:Love that.
178
:So ease, evaluate and what's next.
179
:So after we do that, we're
going to make sure that we
180
:clean and clear out the space.
181
:So it's really hard to see how the space
can be without how everything already is.
182
:And that's really just like taking
everything out, clearing out the space
183
:and seeing it for what it could be and
really letting your mind get creative and
184
:evaluating what you would like it to be.
185
:I like that.
186
:Okay.
187
:Clean.
188
:And also thinking about how you feel
when it's clean and empty, because
189
:you may look at it and be like, Oh,
I didn't know it could feel this way.
190
:I really don't want to put all
this stuff back into it because
191
:I feel good seeing empty.
192
:This is so fascinating to me.
193
:I really, it is.
194
:It's just the connection between the two.
195
:So anyway, we'll keep going
because I know everyone wants
196
:to continue to what they are.
197
:What is L?
198
:L is layout.
199
:And so this is as you, before you
put the room back together, really
200
:thinking about the things that you
reflected on in the evaluate process,
201
:or evaluate step, I should say.
202
:Is what you want to put back in and how
this room needs to function for yourself.
203
:So whether it's sketching out like
this is where I want furniture to go,
204
:or in my pantry, you know I snacks
are what I always go to so I need that
205
:at eye level so I can grab it quickly
and put the heavier items down low.
206
:So, you know, thinking about how you the
functionality of it for your everyday
207
:use laying out to that specification.
208
:And then.
209
:Will you go into the next ? Right.
210
:And then we go into, next, we
go into a, which is so as, yeah.
211
:So as we create like a blueprint,
you know, it might be a sketch, it
212
:might be like, you know, measuring
off and putting some, some things
213
:to show where things would go.
214
:We actually start to assemble
and we say what is priority?
215
:What is something that, if this is to
function and feel as you had imagined.
216
:What has to go back in and we start
there and we start to assemble
217
:and see, okay, how does this feel?
218
:Now you see this in the space.
219
:Now that you have this in the
space, do we need to adjust anything
220
:in the, as we're putting it back
into the actual physical space?
221
:So good.
222
:So good.
223
:All right.
224
:And then our reason to I, so
the I in reclaim is inspect,
225
:and this is really, important.
226
:It's a step that I don't think a lot
of people take into consideration
227
:and really give it enough value.
228
:You want to take a step back, look
at the space and say, is this really
229
:going to function how I want it to?
230
:And it's okay if it doesn't.
231
:So if you take a step back and you're
like, you know, I really need this item.
232
:More eye level, or this item
really should go in another room.
233
:So I can fit the things I
need in this space here.
234
:That's where you do that in this step and
just take that final gut check to make
235
:sure it's going to function how you want.
236
:Okay.
237
:So smart.
238
:Yes.
239
:And then the final what's M so M.
240
:Is the hardest and the
longest step of the process.
241
:And this is maintained.
242
:So, um, a lot of times we see, we take
a few hours, a couple of days, and
243
:we create a space and then we live
in the space and we use the space.
244
:And this is where a lot of times, um,
the space no longer is functioning
245
:the way we started or intended.
246
:So this is really looking at
what steps do I need to take?
247
:Who do I need to also bring into this?
248
:And create expectations for this space
so that it does continue to function
249
:and feel the way it does right now.
250
:Wow.
251
:How did you two come up with this?
252
:I know you talked in the book and I,
and I had a little bit of a, you know,
253
:insider view on this, but really how did,
how did you come up with that framework?
254
:It's really very interesting.
255
:It's not just clever, but
it's very functional and it
256
:makes a ton of sense to me.
257
:Yes.
258
:Well, it was, it was really looking
at, I feel like people, whenever they,
259
:this is going to be a generalization,
but when people look at design shows
260
:or organizational shows, or when they
want to go and organize something,
261
:they think it's one and done.
262
:It's like, I'm going to buy these bins.
263
:I'm going to put it in here.
264
:It's going to be beautiful.
265
:And I never have to touch it again.
266
:But like, so.
267
:Not like that, right?
268
:Our life changes.
269
:I mean, if I say like, if I could know
which snack my kid is going to have
270
:as their favorite, you know, from week
to week, that would be a huge help.
271
:But if they want something
that's two inches wide compared
272
:to one inch wide, that's going
to vary my space in my pantry.
273
:Right.
274
:And so being able to be flexible.
275
:And understand that you will have
to come back to it and make it work
276
:for you is a really important step.
277
:And I think, you know, about 70 to
80 percent of a system will continue
278
:to work, but we need to have the
about 20 percent that stays flexible
279
:for just changing lifestyles.
280
:Very good.
281
:So yeah, go ahead.
282
:Well, and I was going to mention
with that too, is the maintaining
283
:is not that this space has to
continue to function this way.
284
:And that's the coming back to reflecting
again, if you know, the kids are in
285
:diapers and now the kids aren't in diapers
or the kids like this snack and don't
286
:like this snack, or I have an office.
287
:Now I don't need a home office,
or I have this hobby and
288
:now I don't have that hobby.
289
:We can really come back to you.
290
:Coming back to this again, the next
year or three years from now, and it's
291
:something that is always evolving and
a living process is what it really is.
292
:So the people that you, who volunteered,
you went into their homes, give me an
293
:example of what happened as you took
them through this seven step process.
294
:Let me take that Jen, or
do you want to take that?
295
:So we, we all, as we were
writing this book, some of our
296
:friends and family knew about it.
297
:And we talked to some other people
who might be interested and we just
298
:asked, Hey, we're writing a book.
299
:Would you be comfortable for us coming
in one of our clients out of necessity?
300
:She's like, I'm moving.
301
:I have this.
302
:and I've got to figure out
what to do with all this stuff.
303
:I haven't seen this stuff in years.
304
:I don't want to do this, but I know
if you're offering help, I need help.
305
:And so we actually started the day
and did some you know pre interview,
306
:which is in, in the book as well.
307
:And how are you feeling, you know,
what are your hopes for this time you
308
:know what's kept you kept you from not
starting this process before whether
309
:it's for you and really just getting
to know the client where they're at.
310
:And reassuring that we're not
here to force you to get rid of
311
:things or to throw things away.
312
:Really, we just want to help
you find better function.
313
:And this client was telling us she had
avoided this space for over six years
314
:because she just knew it was going to
take too much time and too much effort.
315
:And by the end of the day, we
finished everything in one day.
316
:She had donated more than
a car full of things.
317
:She, Was so thankful that
we went through this.
318
:She was excited about her
move because she was moving.
319
:She felt like she had found things that
she didn't know she had lost or misplaced.
320
:And she found things that she realized,
I don't know why I was keeping this.
321
:Like, what was I thinking?
322
:So there is a lot of change
in six years for this client.
323
:And our hope for this book
is not to become minimalist.
324
:It's just really finding what
functions and what feels good for you.
325
:I love that because it's not
just about functionality.
326
:It is also about the feeling part of it.
327
:And if it really means
something to you, right.
328
:It brings you joy and, you know,
and not, you know, then, then
329
:keep it and find a place for it.
330
:But let me give you a scenario
and you tell me if, how you would,
331
:how you would approach this.
332
:So let's just use the
moving example again, right?
333
:So somebody is moving and they've pulled
out all the things, like, let's just say
334
:the attic or the storage shed or whatever.
335
:And they realize that they have,
have all of the pictures and all the
336
:memorabilia of somebody who has passed
mom, dad, grandma, whoever it is.
337
:What do you do with that stuff?
338
:It's from this generation.
339
:They can't use it.
340
:But there's this guilt tied
to, but I can't throw it away.
341
:It was mom.
342
:So I, I have become an expert in this
area because this is a lot, right?
343
:So for me, I had to really
look at what do I value?
344
:And it wasn't like, you know,
I had to look at it as, as
345
:like very almost existential.
346
:Like if my house burned down and I
lost everything, what do I truly value?
347
:What do I want?
348
:And what would I be heartbroken if I lost?
349
:And so it was really the family photos.
350
:And I thought about it though.
351
:And I was like, well, all my family photos
are stored in boxes and albums, like at
352
:the bottom of my entertainment center.
353
:And if there was a fire,
could I easily go grab those?
354
:Could I save those?
355
:You know, is it in a place?
356
:Where if I truly value it, I can get it.
357
:And so for me, I took a step back and I
digitized all my really important photos.
358
:It did, it was a process and
took some time, but I was
359
:able to digitize the photos.
360
:Any objects that were really
sentimental to me, I took photos
361
:of, I bought a light box, Courtney
was there, we have it on video.
362
:We had a weekend of it.
363
:Yes.
364
:And you know, I just talked through
the items and why this is important
365
:and why I wanted to keep it.
366
:So I was able to take photos of it
and then I could easily let it go.
367
:And you know, if I'm honest with
myself, Am I going to go back and
368
:look at some of these sentimental
items like my childhood toys?
369
:Maybe not.
370
:Probably not.
371
:But for me, it stored on an
external hard drive that I keep in
372
:my fireproof and waterproof safe.
373
:So I know it's safe and I can go
access that whenever I want to.
374
:And whenever I want to, you
know, revisit those memories.
375
:Wow.
376
:That is awesome advice.
377
:And I have to tell you, selfishly, I asked
the question because we are getting ready
378
:to move and we cleaned out a storage shed
and it has, and my husband's mother has
379
:passed his grandmother, his grandfather,
and a great uncle that we took care
380
:of, you know, up until their last days.
381
:And so to have all of this important
stuff, That was so important in their
382
:lives and yet it's nothing that we access
or do anything but that that feeling
383
:the guilt that there is a psychological.
384
:Right.
385
:Well, we can't get rid of it.
386
:Right.
387
:And so I feel like you just, first
of all, kind of released me from this
388
:like there is, there is an answer.
389
:And in all the years
we've lived in this house.
390
:They were in a storage unit.
391
:Like never once did we go through them.
392
:So that is actually great,
great, great advice.
393
:Digitize the pictures.
394
:Take pictures of something.
395
:Yes.
396
:And I, you know, something else that I
dealt with is I have a three car garage.
397
:So I have lots of storage space,
but if I'm storing something out
398
:in, you know, Texas, summers.
399
:And if it's 110, 120 degrees,
is it going to be preserved?
400
:Am I really valuing this item?
401
:If I'm storing it in this
heated garage, right?
402
:Like it's, so it's just, yes.
403
:Yes.
404
:Right.
405
:Right.
406
:And I think it's so important.
407
:Like there's not.
408
:A one answer.
409
:And so if you come across, you know,
a grandparent's something special or,
410
:or, you know, an item that belonged to
them, it's okay to say, I'm not ready
411
:to let this go now, but are there other
things that I feel comfortable with?
412
:And so this isn't a one stop.
413
:Sometimes it is.
414
:I need time, or I need to talk to other
family members, or I heard a lot of people
415
:say, I just don't want it to be wasted.
416
:it.
417
:I don't want it to be forgotten.
418
:And so finding like an organization that
can use those things or an organization
419
:that can repurpose it or finding a
family member that would have a space
420
:inside their home to display or to
use one of those family heirlooms.
421
:I think that has been a key is like not
wanting people and their, and their legacy
422
:to be forgotten, but yeah, that's it.
423
:We're not really honoring them by keeping
all of their things in a storage unit, but
424
:that's what we feel like we need to do.
425
:But what is going to be
more honoring to them?
426
:Oh, go ahead, please, Jennifer.
427
:I'm just going to say another example,
one of our client case studies, it was,
428
:you know, there was a curio cabinet
where she kept all of these things
429
:that were passed down to her from
her parents and from her loved ones.
430
:But it's kind of that old saying, you
know, if you value everything you know you
431
:don't value anything and so all of the,
the really important pieces were hiding
432
:behind other items that were also given.
433
:But they just didn't hold the same value.
434
:So by being able to edit out those
items that had a lower value, we
435
:were able to really highlight and
accentuate those really joy filled
436
:sentimental items that she will see
every time she walks in her home.
437
:And I heard you say earlier.
438
:So once you've determined that,
okay, you know, maybe I'm not
439
:keeping her, maybe, but that you said
there's three really like buckets,
440
:if you will, is it the donate?
441
:Yeah, there's a giveaway.
442
:What was that?
443
:What was it?
444
:Well, we have, there's
always trash, unfortunately.
445
:Okay.
446
:There's trash, you know,
there's donate, there's keep.
447
:And then sometimes we have a maybe pile
where it's like, I'm not quite sure.
448
:And again, going back to the
assemble inspect process.
449
:It's like, Oh, I do have
space for one more item.
450
:I could put this in or Oh, I
need to take this other item out.
451
:So, Yeah.
452
:Right.
453
:And I think that, you know, I'm
actually one of the case studies.
454
:I, we all, I, again, this is not just
a Jennifer storytelling, you know,
455
:we all, you know, I think you too,
Michelle have found like a place of how
456
:this might help or fit in their lives.
457
:But for me, um, I had these dolls
that were passed down to me by my
458
:grandmother who has also passed
and a very important person to me.
459
:One of my closest
relationships I've had in life.
460
:But I was told not to play with these
dolls because they were too valuable.
461
:So for 30 plus years, they were
stored inside my home, not in the
462
:Texas heat in my closet, in a box.
463
:And they just sat there.
464
:So what I did instead is I
contacted family and I said,
465
:these were grandmothers.
466
:Does anybody want these?
467
:I want her to be remembered.
468
:They were important for her, but I'm not.
469
:Appreciating and how she wanted me to.
470
:And I, you know, I want somebody
to display them, use them.
471
:And I was able to gift them to two of my
family members so that they could keep
472
:those things that were hers and honor
her and me feel comfortable with that.
473
:I feel like this book is going
to release a lot of that guilt.
474
:And also a little shame maybe of
like, well, why is my house fluttered?
475
:And, you know, because like for you
both to have gone through and deal with
476
:this and me too, you know, I think it's
so many people struggle with this, but
477
:it's, it's just one of those things.
478
:You don't talk about it.
479
:It's just like, well, it just goes
to the next house and then to the
480
:next house and to the next house.
481
:So I think you're releasing
people from a lot of that.
482
:And I think what you're doing is, and no
pun intended, but you're really, Helping
483
:them to reclaim, you know, their space and
what matters to them and what brings them
484
:joy and fulfillment and all those things.
485
:and it starts with the reframing of
how does, how do I value this and is it
486
:important to me and do I value it for
what reasons and claiming the space,
487
:reclaiming the space and the function.
488
:Cause sometimes I'm like, I have to keep
this because it was, you know, so and sos
489
:I, you know, it was gifted to me, I've
got a display and it doesn't really fit
490
:the function or the aesthetic you want.
491
:So working on that mental and emotional
piece is really important in our book.
492
:Yes.
493
:So I know people listening are going to
want to, for first of all, they're going
494
:to want to get the book and they're also
going to want to get in touch with you.
495
:So what is some of the best
ways that they can do both?
496
:Well, they can follow us on
Instagram at reframe underscore
497
:reclaim, where we show a lot of what
we're doing and tips and tricks.
498
:We also have our Facebook page
at reframe amber sand reclaim.
499
:And then our website is reframe dash
reclaim, where they can go and pick up
500
:our book and there's links to Amazon and.
501
:Barnes and Noble and other
booksellers that they can get to.
502
:Yeah.
503
:And I highly recommend those listening.
504
:Definitely go get it.
505
:It's, it's, it's a great book.
506
:It's an easy read.
507
:And I think it's something
that can make a huge impact in
508
:people's lives and homes and yes.
509
:And, but he said, I hope ladies,
510
:so, so much for being on the show.
511
:I just adore both of you and
I'm so excited for this journey
512
:and this is just the beginning.
513
:For what you're going
to do to help people.
514
:Well, we want to thank you
and performance publishing.
515
:It has really been a joy and a relief
to work with somebody who would guide us
516
:through all of the publishing process,
because it does feel overwhelming when
517
:you haven't written a book before.
518
:So I just want to say thank
you to all of your team.
519
:It's been a really,
really wonderful pleasure.
520
:Oh, yes.
521
:Thanks for helping us tell our story.
522
:You are so welcome.
523
:All right.
524
:Well, I'm going to wrap this up.
525
:And so I just want to make sure for
those of you who are listening, and
526
:if you didn't have a pen earlier, I'm
going to have it and you have it now.
527
:What are those steps?
528
:So again, it's all about, you got to
reclaim or reframe and then reclaim, but
529
:what are those seven steps that Jennifer
and Courtney shared is number one is
530
:the R in reclaim is reflect, right?
531
:Really taking in What,
what do I really want?
532
:How, how, what do I envision?
533
:All of that has to happen before
you can do anything else because
534
:then you go to E, which is evaluate.
535
:Get to the root of why are
you holding on to some things?
536
:Why, why, why is it in your home?
537
:Is it important to you
or does it an obligation?
538
:Then we go to C, which is you got
to clean and clear out, right?
539
:I love that because until you,
you can't just move things around.
540
:You really have to get rid of it all
and then determine what you want back
541
:in, which is where the L comes in.
542
:How do you want it laid out?
543
:How is it going to be functional for you?
544
:And that's super, super important to
think through in this whole process.
545
:Then we move into a, which stands
for assemble and really thinking
546
:back, you know, what is the priority?
547
:What, what has to go back in?
548
:What, what doesn't need to go back in?
549
:That's all part of the assemble stage.
550
:Then we go into inspect, which
is, does it function for me?
551
:Does it really work the way I
want it to in my everyday life?
552
:And then finally, the M in reclaim is
maintain because And, and, and part of
553
:that also goes back to the beginning of
reflect because something may work today
554
:that may not work six months from now.
555
:So you have to maintain it, but
then go back, reflect just to make
556
:sure, does it still work for you?
557
:So I highly recommend again, you,
you get this book and go to their
558
:website at reframe dash reclaim.
559
:com.
