They may have been tasked with organizing Chris Pratt and Katharine Schwarzenegger's garage or Drew Barrymore's talk show kitchen, but professional organizers Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, founders of , are quickly becoming talent in their own right.
The chatty, upbeat, rainbow-loving duo who already star in the Netflix reality series have co-authored on their approach and sell their own line of products, are now the hosts of a new weekly podcast 鈥� ," proving that their personalities have made them, well, Personalities.
Shearer, however, is quick to reject this idea and says recognizable is a better description.
鈥淚鈥檇 rather be like a familiar face," she said. "You have to remember that we still use the staff entrance at most people鈥檚 homes. Like, we are still organizing under a sink in a celebrity鈥檚 house. So it鈥檚 really easy for us to be like, 鈥極h, no, we鈥檙e definitely not celebrities because there is a very clear distinction.鈥欌��
On 鈥淏est Friend Energy,鈥� Shearer and Teplin will share the latest goings on in their lives and business, reminisce about funny mishaps, chat with guests and also analyze other friendships, including Queen Elizabeth II and her beloved corgis or Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg.
Their chats come easily because Teplin says it's really how they are together: self-deprecating, never at a loss for words and frequently going on tangents.
鈥淲e did not practice for this beforehand, but we鈥檝e been practicing for this for seven years, since the day that we met,鈥� said Teplin. 鈥淭his is just who we are as people. don鈥檛 think there is any practice necessarily needed because this is just us.鈥�
The podcast comes as the pair get ready to close out a whirlwind chapter in their personal and professional lives.
Earlier this year, The Home Edit was bought by Reese Witherspoon's media and entertainment company Hello Sunshine. (Witherspoon and Molly Sims are co-executive producers on their Netflix show and Hello Sunshine produces their podcast with Sony Music Podcasts.) Shearer was also diagnosed with breast cancer and has documented her experience of going through chemo and radiation on social media.
鈥淗aving cancer doesn鈥檛 feel that lucky, but all the things that I have in my life make me literally the luckiest person. I have the best treatment facility at Vanderbilt Hospital. I have the best business partner, the best company to support me and my family, my husband, my kids. I mean, every single person in my life has shown up in such incredible ways and has helped in such incredible ways. It鈥檚 the honor of my lifetime to be able to share my story... and help people going through this.鈥�
Shearer is counting down her remaining days of radiation and optimistic about what that means.
鈥淚 hope to be cancer free by Thanksgiving, the holiday weekend, which is very exciting," said Shearer. 鈥淚鈥檓 so excited to be in the month of November. Radiation is five days a week, which a lot of people don鈥檛 know. It鈥檚 incredibly taxing and draining but I鈥檓 balancing that with the excitement of like, 鈥極h my gosh, I鈥檓 almost done.鈥欌��
