SHOW NOTES:
Get ready to feel super-motivated to clean your house, because this week on The Everygirl Podcast Josie is interviewing Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, co-founders of The Home Edit. The episode kicks off with an explanation of how Joanna and Clea came to be business partners in the first place (spoiler alert: a 4-hour lunch date was involved). The pair discuss how they kickstarted their business in Nashville among close friends before expanding to bigger clients, and the impact their friendship has had on The Home Edit. Josie asks Joanna and Clea for their key tips for working with a business partner who is also a best friend, and they reveal that they have only been in a tiny handful of disagreements throughout their entire partnership. Then, the episode dives right into all of the home organization tips: Clea and Joanna run through their organizational system, all the way from editing to labeling. They even give advice for creating systems that will work for and be adopted by everyone in your home, plus a few extra hacks for staying on top of cleanliness during the business of the holiday season. The pair also emphasizes that the “right way” to go about organization is the way that will work best for you, not what anyone else does. The episode closes with Clea opening up about her journey with breast cancer, and what it felt like to finish her last round of chemotherapy.
