The Big Downsize, Season 4, takes you down memory lane on a new downsizing journey as professional organizer Jane Veldhoven takes on a new client with too much stuff. She also visits clients from previous seasons. Jane also tackles her own downsizing challenge when she and her boyfriend decide to move in together. The five-part documentary series premieres nationally on VisionTV on Monday, April 11th, 2022.
Season 4 explores why we love our possessions so much and reveals the emotional baggage and stress that crashes down when there is no choice but to let go. I help realtor Jan Malone, who is dealing with a downsizing dilemma on three fronts. I also visit clients from previous seasons to get updates on their downsizing journeys. Additionally, my partner Dana and I each tackle our own downsizing challenges as we prepare to move into a new condo together.
The People in Season 4
Many viewers will relate to Jan, an uber-busy professional who moves from a three-bedroom home to a much smaller condo. Storing belongings rather than adapting to a life with fewer possessions is not only expensive, but it can also lead to accumulating way more stuff than you actually need or can ever really use. But as always, letting go isn’t easy.
Visiting clients from the first three seasons of the show was a huge thrill for me. Seeing them in their new space, or closer to making it a reality, was very satisfying—as was helping them declutter and downsize even further. Having the cameras rolling as I moved into a new space with my partner was an interesting experience. It gave us both the chance to do some downsizing of our own. We both had to get rid of items we had owned for a long time, so it’s definitely a good way to test a relationship. It just goes to show that even professional organizers struggle with decluttering from time to time.
*2026 Update: Sadly, VisionTV no longer streams The Big Downsize. But you can still watch a few episodes of Season 3, and some short video clips by entering “The Big Downsize” in the search function on the VisionTV website.
I am so happy to watch the new show. Hope there are many more.
Thank you so much for watching Joanne. We are hoping for a 5th season. If you know anyone in Nova Scotia who is downsizing this summer or fall please ask them to consider being on the show. They receive up to 10 days of free decluttering and organizing services from myself and my team in exchange for appearing on camera. And it’s pretty darn fun!
