Fascinating life of a woman and how that life led her to be a trauma cleaner. It's really fascinating that the trauma and disorder in her own life, from childhood through adulthood, really led to her this occupation. She handled her clients with great care and compassion, when most of society had written them off. I think her own experiences allowed her to have that empathy and to be able to see a huge (oftentimes disgusting) mess and know how to fix it without becoming overwhelmed. This is a story of compassion, resiliency, and the human condition.
