We were so excited to partner with Taylor Morrison on this amazing collaboration.
It's such a natural fit for us to work with them.
They are such masterful home builders and we obviously love
to come in and give people systems so clear,
packing up a home or apartment,
whatever size can be really stressful for so many people.
So what are some tips you can give people on how to
do it the right way because you guys do it immaculately.
Well, first of all, I just want to say I love to move. I actually, it's like a hobby.
I love it. I love it.
I
do
not.
I'm not, I think it's fun. I think it's an opportunity.
Um You can really purge your items,
make sure you have all the things that you need use and love.
And we always say that
the a successful move starts with a pre move.
You wanna actually get into the process of
moving before you actually leave your house,
you wanna edit all of your items down.
I know. I know. But it, I, I promise
you in the end
because we literally moved with garbage. Last time we were like, why do we
garbage? No,
I
know.
Ok, we need to help. Yeah.
Well, part of the problem is people are picking the wrong homes.
So I know Taylor Morrison, you're building homes all over the country.
What's the key to picking the right place to move into?
Well,
every family's needs are very different and that's why we're
so excited about this opportunity because it allows us,
as
you said to help our consumer, we talk about loving our customer.
It's about loving them in advance, help helping them select the home.
That's right for their family needs.
And sometimes it's the home, sometimes it's the neighborhood,
sometimes it's the amenities but helping them in that journey before they move in,
making sure they pack, right, get organized and then they,
they're allowed to enjoy their home in a very different way.
So, you know, Sheryl's home is amazing because she builds everybody's home.
So I'm just
saying,
right.
So Joanna tell us,
talk to us about some of the trends that we're seeing with organizers.
Yeah. Well, absolutely.
First,
we wanna say edit out the items that you don't need so
that you don't have to waste time and energy moving that stuff.
And then you want to set up smart systems like so for example, in your kitchen,
you want to think through how the whole kitchen functions together.
So maybe put the dishwasher near where
you're unloading either heavy glasses or silverware.
You don't want to have things so far apart that it
makes it very annoying and cumbersome to go back and forth.
And what about the clear bins? Clear?
I know you guys use a lot of clear bins when I see like your pantries.
I'm like, how do they do that? It's like magic.
All right. So clear bins are, you know, we think that they're beautiful.
They're aesthetically pleasing but they hold you accountable.
You can see everything you don't get like a food graveyard in
a clear bin because you can actually see what you have.
It helps you with your shopping experience,
your grocery shopping because you can see what you're low on.
It just overall creates a much smarter system in your space.
And I'm excited because you guys are not only teaming up on this project,
you guys are bringing back extreme homemade.
So
a
lot of
fun. OK. So talk to me about how it's gonna be different from the one we are used to.
First of all, we get to partner with Taylor Morrison on the home building process,
which is amazing.
So they're gonna be working with us on the construction and design of the homes.
Um And you know, of course,
there's gonna be an organizing lens to everything because that's what we do.
We're
so extreme makeover home edition.
That's where you build like a home for uh deserving family in one week, one week,
seven days, seven days.
What is how do you take on a project like that? You know, in today's environment?
Um it's a little unnerving because, you know,
the environment we've been in with supply chain and it's been difficult,
but when you can do something for this kind of cause and with these kinds of partners,
we will make it happen and there's just no challenge
that we're not going to take on with the,
with them and
you get a lot of support.
We'll get it from our trades, our national manufacturers,
we'll get it from the local community, our employees across the country.
Everyone's gonna be part of this.
They're gonna need to be.
What do you think the biggest challenge is to be able to pull this off?
I uh well, again, I, I am very trusting
and also the
producers who have been producing the show for so many seasons.
We are the novices here and we're here to lean on everybody else's expertise.
We can just bring,
I'm also excited about the stories we'll hear about with
these families because it's not just about building a home.
It's about why they need the home and that they need wheelchair accessibility
and all these beautiful stories you hear really makes an impact on people.
Oh, absolutely.
And I think that one of the things that we're good at through our
organizing experience is really connecting with the
family and really focusing on their needs,
their items, their things.
And I think that it will just be a really wonderful partnership because
we also get to build them up something that does fit their needs.
You know, I mean, I think that that's really exciting.
You know,
I think about how our partnership came together and our collective desire
to give to community and being part of something so philanthropic.
So to me,
this just plays right into the original
intentions and speaking of amazing stories,
you were just very vocal and very, you know,
forth telling about your recent recovery from cancer.
First of all, congratulations, you beat it. I did, I did
it
like
chosen to be so transparent with your journey.
Um I,
I felt like I needed to the very second I got diagnosed.
I think that, um you know, I was young, I had no history of it in my family.
You know,
the it was not a probability that I would have cancer and I did
and I really wanted to make sure
that everyone continues to advocate for themselves,
get screened, gets tested.
Um you know, talks to their doctor early, don't wait until 40. I was 39.
So it can happen to anyone.
And um you know, I just felt like if I could share my journey,
then maybe I could help other people feel confident
in their journey and also not feel alone.
Well,
what's one piece of advice you would give to someone who
may have just received a diagnosis or whatever stage they're in,
I would say the number one thing that got
me through was trying to stay really positive and
I didn't let the fears get in the way.
I was just so focused on the goal of beating cancer
and it really filled me with a lot of like energy,
you know, it filled me with a lot of purpose.
And,
um,
so
I was just like, I'm gonna beat it.
That's a nonstarter like this is not taking me down, you know, I'm gonna,
cancer should be afraid of me.
And uh but you know, I just think that really marching towards that goal, it just,
it really allowed me to get there.
Yeah.
Well,
we're glad you got there and we wanna continue following all
of your journeys for all of your shows and organizing homes.
We all need it.
Please pay attention to what they're doing and the,
the advice they're giving us on these shows because
we could all use these tips in our house.
All right. Thank you ladies. Thank you
so
much
for
having
us.
Thank you.
