Seeing My Clothes For The First Time In A YEAR! (they were all in storage)

Over this past year of not having 99% of my clothing, I've learned a lot about my personal style, consumption habits, and more. Cleaning out so many of my things and giving them to a new home where they will be far more needed than in mine felt really good. I hope this inspires you to do the same in your life. <3 Also, this is just a little reminder that there are more ways to see than with your eyes. I see the world with my hands. :)

The way you speak about the homeless is very refreshing. My dad and I were homeless when I was in middle/highschool and so many donations were practically trash (at the Veterans shelter we stayed at for a bit). If it has holes or massive stains, it’s probably not going to go very far and honestly just reinforces the feeling that you yourself arent worth much. You just mentioned you donated to a specifically teen shelter and that really warms my heart. As much as people push that homelessness is a choice, people tend to forget the children in those positions who have 0 responsibility for the position they’re in. I appreciate you and your advocacy of not only the disability community, but other marginalized groups as well

Molly THANK YOU for reminding everyone to donate things you would want to receive!! I am studying to become a social worker. Recently at my internship, someone donated a ton of school supplies for kids on my caseload. I went through at least 4 bags of dry rotted erasers, used pencils from the early 2000s (like covered in pics of Hannah Montana, Suite Life of Zach & Cody, Lizzie Maguire, etc.), pens with no ink, and dried up paints. These are not things I would ever give to these kids, and it’s just not a helpful donation.

As someone who works at a homeless fellowship and receives donations, I really appreciate your intentionality and generosity. Giving someone clothing items which they actually need or want instead of just giving them whatever is the way giving should be done. I've talked with so many people who are in sad situations and that little bit of dignity in receiving something they asked for means the world. I know the shelters you gave too are going to put those items to good use. Thank you for your heart in giving; it is intentional people like you who make the world a better place. Love you girl! 🤍

I love that Molly included a mention in this video to look at the requested donations lists for wherever you’re hoping to donate your things! As someone who volunteers at an emergency clothing closet, I can say first-hand that it’s a bummer when people donate things that might be beautiful, but not the items the clients actually need (ex: fancy high heels or pencil skirts). Always check what places are in need of, to go the extra mile before you drop off things, and if you aren’t sure, you can usually call ahead to ask about an item. ☺️ Thanks so much Molly for encouraging people to pass along their beloved items in a responsible, sustainable way (not just dumping them at whatever donation center is closest to their house, but actually doing the prep-work to get the items to the right agencies who can use them). 💚

This is what I needed to motivate me, TBH. I'm trans and I got top surgery in May, and I have a ton of clothes I used to wear to hide my body that I don't wear and will never wear again. I need to pare things down to things I feel good in, wardrobe staples that actually reflect my style. No one needs this many hoodies.

We want all the move in/organizing/decorating videos you can give us! I always get excited for whatever you have to share with us!

Your speech about the pain of growth and helping others intentionally, was so wise and inspirational. I think everyone can relate in some way! I also think it's great that you have extra space - this condo is going to be your home for a long time, so you will have plenty of time to fill that space with high quality items you really love, as you mentioned. Your content this month has been great to watch!

That was seriously trippy! Molly said "Thanks for yawning" literally as I was finishing yawning! The only time I did too. it was like she saw me through the screen but then she can't really see at all now can she... She absolutely did not hear my yawn because mine are almost silent but it really stunned me and I was taken aback when Niamh started giggling too... like she was giggling at me... then I came back to reality as I realized Niamh had also yawned while filming and somehow coincidentally I synced up with her!

Honestly in love with this hair color!! And love the decluttering and the comments on "beggars can't be choosers". Spot on

Molly seems like she would be such a good friend. Like you could talk to her about anything and she’s listen without judgement and give good advice😊

The new hair looks beautiful and almost like it was natural for you! It makes your eyes pop in a very youthful way ❤️ love the vid!

I really love that you are so thoughtful about your donations. I’ve been on the side of needing to receive donations as a child growing up and also working in a thrift store. There were times I would go through the donations received and it was literal garbage or smelled like cat pee. It was awful as a sorter and it was disheartening as someone that had once relied heavily on donations or thrift stores. Food banks are the same! So many times disappointed because it was Lima beans or canned goods you know weren’t that great. Donate what you would actually want to eat!

I recognise how you feel so much!!! We were without all our stuff and clothing for close to 4 months when the military moved us from the Netherlands to Vegas. I felt alone, confused, not myself. Even now with all our stuff back it’s hard to feel grounded and comfortable in my old clothing in our new home that still feels foreign. Thank you for talking about this ❤

YAY! Another nice video to watch! Thank you so much for bringing awareness and teaching us to be more aware of the importance of inclusivity!

“Growth is so hard!” Yes yes yes!! Since double brain injuries Feb 2020 — I too have been mired in chaos, fiasco after fiasco on top of coming to terms with being disabled in my mid 40s. And somehow this year has just been worse on so many levels. It has been “comforting” for lack of a better word, to be on the journey with you. Seeing you be so vulnerable and authentic in the face of multiple challenges has given me strength. This video in particular resonates. I have SO many clothes and other things that are connected to the “before” version of me that I am struggling to sort through. I have piles and piles and piles and I’ve been trying to process for months! You gave voice to exactly what I’ve been feeling and experiencing and I am so grateful. I feel validated, inspired and empowered. Love you Molly. I feel like you’ve become one of my best friends (I am sure you hear that often!) Thank you 🙏

It's nice to watch someone else clean and organize because it makes me feel like I can do it, too. Little by little, I will! P.S. Your strawberry blonde-ness really does match your condo so well, especially the rim around your bed headboard. As if your sleep situation wasn't aesthetic enough, LOL

Molly - thank you so much for sharing this and shedding light onto donating to local shelters. It’s never occurred to me to seek out these types of organizations and look at what they actually need. I feel like I’ve had a very self-centered view of donating things in the past just thinking about what do I not want and what is easiest for me, but you’ve really inspired me to think outside of myself and be more intentional with this process. I love your videos so much, I always learn something new.

I think I just like watching whatever you film because I love listening you talk, I love your energy, generosity and modesty. You're such a nice and warm person, Molly ☀️

I live in South Africa. It's a very different thing. I have a charity I donate to often. The amazing man who runs it says to send everything as the people in the location will take everything as they wear something with a hole at home but the new stuff which is also donated they wear to town. So here we do donate it all and they are beyond grateful for it.
