Elizabeth* has a secret life as a hoarder. None of her colleagues or family members know that her apartment is filled to the brim with garbage bags, discarded hobbies and beautiful writing paper. Instead, she hosts an anonymous podcast detailing her struggles and efforts to declutter. In this episode, she talks to Anna about her complicated relationship with objects, how it relates to money anxiety and sexual identity, and how she’s trying to be more honest with people in her life. * Elizabeth is a pseudonym. Her podcast is called, <a href="https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/">That Hoarder: Overcome Compulsive Hoarding</a>.Also this week, a listener asked for recommendations on how to rekindle old friendships.
