Changed my life (literally)!
Clean With Me has been a serious game-changer and is quickly becoming my favorite thing ever! I’m living alone for the first time, and I suffer from severe executive dysfunction due to autism and ADHD. I know how to clean well, and it’s something I really enjoy doing, but finding the motivation without external pressure is almost impossible for my brain. Since I’ve started cleaning along with Raani, motivation comes easily, my space is the cleanest it’s ever been, and I actually want to keep it up daily! I started listening to this podcast in late fall, when my parents were coming in from out of state to visit. Talk about crawling out of a hole! I used to be so embarrassed by my messy home and never wanted to invite anyone over, but now my house is almost always ready for guests in just 15 minutes! I have a hybrid job at my church where I only go in for work three days a week. When I get home from work, her speed cleaning episodes are the perfect transition for me. On days when I work from home, one of the first things I do in the morning is turn on a longer episode. It gets me going for the rest of the day (which is so helpful because I used to just sit around in my pj’s until late afternoon/early evening when the guilt was the only motivator to get moving). I love that Raani walks me through what needs to be done in the most realistic timeline. (It’s almost always perfect timing, but that challenges me to finish sooner so I can do a “bonus task.”) If only she had episodes for self-care tasks like skin care, showering, etc. 😂 A couple of weeks ago, I finally subscribed for access to the longer, more detailed episodes. Living by myself on a ministry income makes things tight, but the cost was low enough to plan and budget for. Because the regular episodes have genuinely changed the flow of my day-to-day life for the better, made me more productive at work, improved my social life, and replaced my negative self-talk with confidence in knowing I can take care of my home, subscribing was a no-brainer and one of the best things I could have done for myself!
Helped but hurt too
I was a paid subscriber and loved these. I somehow related more to her daughter even though I’m in my 50’s lol. But I get that they want to do their own thing. I was hurt when she went on about CK. His words and actions were very very hurtful to my family. It was immensely odd that the one news item she spoke of was his death. What happened was awful. But his life’s work caused harm to so many.
Life Changing!
Raani is a very important part of my day. The show jumps right in, gets to the point, and it touches on everything from speed cleaning to a whole home declutter and deep clean! I’ve listened to this podcast for about a year, and moved about 6 mos ago. After moving in to our new home, things were a bit chaotic. Thanks to you girls, I was able to grab tasks and stay focused while settling my family into a new city, and home! So grateful for you, Raani & your daughter! Keep it up, and please, please know that you’re appreciated by many!
Love it
I don’t follow step by step but just listening helps me keep moving. I’m sorry people are so mean in their reviews. My one wish is that you did not have to pay for the longer episodes.
Helps focus
This podcast does really help me stay on track. I agree with some of the other reviews though—religion should be avoided in a cleaning podcast. I am able to get over that one episode and will continue listening. Maybe add some cleaning hacks or current favorite products at the end, rather than something so personal—especially since CK was quite offensive. Adding to this review just to come back and say how this podcast continues to be a must for me! It really is helpful- Thanks!!
