FULL SHOW: It's Shirley's Birthday!, Strawberry Letter - My Ungrateful, Young Employee - 07.28.25

Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brandon Bronaugh. A life transition expert and one of the faces of A&E’s hit show Hoarders. 🎯 Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Explore the deeper emotional and psychological aspects of hoarding. Highlight Brandon Bronaugh's unique approach to helping individuals and families transition through crisis-level home situations. Educate the audience on the realities behind the TV show Hoarders and the broader mission of Brandon's company, Lifecycle Transitions. 🧠 Key Takeaways 1. Hoarding Is a Mental Health Crisis Hoarding is not just clutter—it’s often a manifestation of unresolved trauma. The physical accumulation reflects emotional and psychological pain. “You learn more about a person from their home than any other facet of their life.” – Brandon Bronaugh 2. Lifecycle Transitions: A Holistic Approach Bronaugh’s company blends emotional, logistical, and real estate support. Services include cleanup, therapy, home evaluations, and even relocation. The Transition Evaluation Assessment (TEA) helps clients decide whether to stay, sell, or relocate. 3. Clients Often Don’t Self-Identify as Hoarders Most clients are high-functioning individuals who don’t recognize their behavior as hoarding. Shame and embarrassment are major barriers to seeking help. “Very few people have ever called it. I mean, we do… but what I didn’t know is what it took for them to get to that point.” 4. Health and Safety Risks Hoarding environments can lead to respiratory issues, mold, fire hazards, and even death. Bronaugh created a mold remediation division after realizing the health dangers hidden behind clutter. 5. Demographics and Challenges About 80% of Bronaugh’s clients are Caucasian, but hoarding affects all races and socioeconomic backgrounds. Cases range from teenagers to the elderly. Hoarding has a high recidivism rate (65–70%). 6. Spiritual and Entrepreneurial Journey Bronaugh started as a property preservation contractor. His mission evolved into a humanitarian effort to save lives. “God had a plan. He said, no, you’re going to save lives and change.” 💬 Notable Quotes “When you go home, that’s when the mask is taken off. That’s when you can be your most authentic self.” “For every one year that a client goes without addressing the hoarding conditions… is equivalent to about one day of actual cleanup.” “We’re going to build this ecosystem… that we can do what most companies would take nine months to do in 30 days.” “The home is killing them.” 📞 How to Get Help Website: LifecycleTransitions.com Email: info@lifecycletransitions.com Services include in-home evaluations, virtual assessments, and a zero-contact cleanup option for clients too ashamed to be present. #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
