Life Lessons
Part IV — Excerpt from URI Magazine, “The Emotional Power of Tidying Up”
Lindemann says the learning goes both ways when she is working with her clients. “I learn something from every one of my clients. It’s all about listening,” Lindemann says. “People will tell you what you need to know. There are so many stories, so much emotion attached to our things. Working together, we cry, we laugh. It’s all real.”
Lindemann admires her clients, the hard work they do, their commitment to change, to letting go. “I understand them. I’ve walked the walk of loss, of feeling so overwhelmed. I realize this is hard and it takes time,” she says.
“It’s very powerful for me to watch people let things go that have been weighing them down. I love what I do. I’m proud of it,” she says.
“I work alongside my clients. I’m with them every step of the way, and when we’re done, it feels so good to stand back with them, look around, and say ‘Look at what we’ve done.’”
