Monday, we talked about the map. Today, we draw the lines.
Today, we inventory. Today, we identify. Today, we begin the release.
In this Action Wednesday, Nyomi gets REAL about her own closet journey—the 200+ wigs, the 30-year-old clothes, the drawer of expensive bras she gave away LAST WEEK, the family memorial t-shirts she released THIS MORNING, and the red carpet dresses she's finally ready to let go. This isn't theory.
This is Nyomi doing the work WITH you, in real time, sharing her own struggles and breakthroughs as she reclaims her closet.
This is Season 5. This is action. Let's do the work. IN THIS EPISODE The Recap: Three Types of Clothes
• Type 1: Clothes that no longer fit your LIFE (not just body—your actual life, who you are, where you live, what you do, how you move)
• Type 2: Clothes from old chapters (the job you left, relationships that ended, versions you've outgrown)
• Type 3: Clothes for a version that never arrived (fantasy clothes, "someday" clothes, "when I'm that person" clothes)Nyomi's REAL Stories (Doing the Work in Real Time): The Background:
• Cleans her closet at least 6 times a year
• STILL has clothes older than her 30-year-old oldest daughter
• Had over 200 wigs (now down to maybe 100-150)
• Used to buy clothes constantly when actively in the industry, going to events, seminars
• Now back in production on mainstream projects—her production company doing amazing things
• Some clothes/wigs can now go to her production house to become charactersLast Week's Release:
• A whole drawer of expensive, custom-made bras
• Victoria's Secret bras, bras specifically made for her old size
• Had breast implant surgery in August of last year
• Has cleaned closet/drawers 3 times since August
• STILL was holding onto TWO big drawers of bras she could no longer wear
• Finally bagged them and gave them away LAST WEEKThe Red Carpet Dresses:
• Still has several red carpet dresses
• Knows she'll never fit back in them (not just size—doesn't have the body for them post-surgery)
• Expensive pieces she's been holding onto
• "But I spent so much money on this!"—finally ready to releaseThis Morning's Release:
• Family memorial t-shirts from when family members passed away
• Some with pictures faded from washing
• Some she wears sometimes, some she doesn't
• Had them for YEARS
• Sat at altar this morning and prayed about releasing them
• Has their obituaries and pictures displayed—that's memory enough
• Doesn't need the garments with their pictures on them to rememberHer Mother's Closet:
• "I wish I could go into my mother's closet and do it!"
• Her mother (she's her caregiver) has SO many old clothes
• Being her caregiver has been "one" (laughs about it now)
• Can see the same patterns in her mother's closetThe Mel Robbins Post Timing:
• Hit her at the EXACT right time last week while cleaning closet
• Thought she was doing it right (cleans 6 times a year!)
• Realized: still holding blockage, still holding things with old energy and old stories
• Divine timing: the expansion happening in her life NEEDS this release nowExercise 1: The Closet Inventory NYOMI WANTS YOU TO ACTUALLY DO THIS (not just think about it): Step 1: Pick ONE Section
• One shelf, one rod, one drawer
• Not the whole closet—just ONE section
• Make it manageableStep 2: Pull Everything Out
• Don't leave it in the closet
• Put it all out where you can see it
• Every single item from that sectionStep 3: Sort Into Three Piles
• PILE 1: Doesn't fit my life anymore
• PILE 2: From an old chapter I've outgrown
• PILE 3: For a version of me that never arrivedStep 4: Journal on Each Pile
• For Pile 1: Why doesn't this fit my life anymore? What has changed?
• For Pile 2: What chapter was this from? What version of me wore this? Why am I holding onto that chapter?
• For Pile 3: What version of me was I trying to be? Why didn't that version arrive? What was I trying to prove? Who was I trying to become?Step 5: Make the Decision
• Go through each pile
• Keep or release?
• Ask yourself: Does this support who I am NOW or who I'm BECOMING?
• If the answer is no → it goesStep 6: The Physical Release
• Get donation bags
• Put released items IN the bags
• Tie them up
• Put them in your car
• Drop them off within 48 HOURS (this is critical—don't let them sit!)The 4 Common Blocks & How to Overcome Them:
BLOCK 1: "But I spent so much money on this"
Nyomi's example: The red carpet dresses
The truth: Keeping it won't get your money back. The money is gone whether it's in the closet or at Goodwill. But at least at Goodwill, someone can use it.
Your response: "I honor the money I spent. And I release the guilt. Because someone else will love this piece."
BLOCK 2: "What if I need it someday?"
The truth: You won't. And if you do, you'll find something better that actually fits wh...
