It’s a milestone week on Unpacking with Jennifer — not only is this our 40th episode, but Jen is celebrating her 25 + 25th birthday surrounded by the women who’ve been her lifeline, her sisters, and her ride-or-dies for decades.

Fresh off a party that survived the most ridiculous Southern California rainstorm since Noah built the ark, Jen sits down with her closest friends to recap the night — the laughter, the dancing, the wine spills, the shoe blowouts, and the unforgettable moments that made her first real birthday party one for the books.

In this hilarious, chaotic, and heart-squeezing conversation, the girls dive into:

✨ The wild storm that almost canceled the celebration… and how her friends refused to let it happen

✨ Decades of friendship stories — from Sports Authority days to mixtapes, club nights, and questionable barstool decisions

✨ Music memories and why the DJ nailed their entire shared history

✨ Outfit changes, dancing barefoot in puddles, and Jen’s signature “drunk strut”

✨ Party etiquette 101 — RSVPs, ghosting, goodbyes, and the unspoken rules everyone should know

✨ Why celebrating yourself can feel uncomfortable… and why Jen finally allowed it

✨ A truly sweet moment when Jen steps into the room, fully embraced by love and cheers, and actually lets herself enjoy it

This episode is messy, emotional, nostalgic, and laugh-out-loud funny — a perfect snapshot of deep friendship and midlife magic. Grab a coffee, a cocktail, or, if you’re this crew… maybe a bottle of Pedialyte — and celebrate with Jen and the girls. 🎂💃❤️
