Marty Stevens-Heebner
This week's guest on How to Move Your Mom (and still be on speaking terms afterward) is Matt Paxton, one of the top hoarding and downsizing experts in the country. He hosts the Emmy-nominated show Legacy List with Matt Paxton, and recently released his latest book Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff: Declutter, Downsize and Move Forward with Your Life.
Matt was also a featured expert on the show Hoarders for 13 years and during that time authored The Secret Lives of Hoarders: True Stories of Tackling Extreme Clutter.
Matt lives in Atlanta, GA with his wife and seven kids - or, as Matt likes to point out, one more than The Brady Bunch. His move to Georgia was a fairly recent one, and Matt shares how he had to resolve his struggles with own in order to make that big move.
