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. 🎂💃❤️

Tune in for humor, heart, and a real look at life behind the scenes with the Satels—because sometimes you just have to laugh your way through it all.

This week on Unpacking with Jennifer, I’m diving deep into the world of organizing — and it’s not just about where your stuff goes. From closets overflowing with clothes and garages packed with keepsakes to the emotional attachments that make it hard to let go, this episode is all about how physical clutter mirrors our mental chaos.

I share a recent project that turned into a masterclass on what NOT to do when hiring an organizer — because if your “homework” is still sitting in bins after the team leaves, something isn’t working! You’ll hear why organizing isn’t just about labels and bins — it’s about creating systems that actually make your life easier and reduce that daily overwhelm we all feel.

We’ll unpack everything from emotional attachments to childhood memories, the cycle of clutter that passes from parent to child, and why sometimes less really is more. I’ll also talk about how clothes, keepsakes, and even your garage can become reflections of your mindset — and how resetting your space can reset your peace of mind.

If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by stuff, overwhelmed by where to start, or guilty for letting go, this episode is for you. Let’s make your house feel like a home again — calm, functional, and full of intention.

In this deeply personal and joy-filled episode, Jennifer sits down with one of the most meaningful people in her life — Dr. Marlene Kalouyan, the brilliant OB-GYN who delivered her daughter Charlotte and became so much more than a doctor: a true friend, confidante, and soul sister.

From the delivery room to years of friendship, Jennifer and Marlene unpack everything — motherhood, teaching, chasing joy beyond career titles, and rediscovering purpose in unexpected ways. Marlene opens up about her early journey from Nigeria, her unexpected start as a math teacher, and how she’s now embracing new passions in her medical career, including cosmetic gynecology.

But the heart of this episode lies in vulnerability — as Jennifer shares her emotional struggles with fertility and motherhood, and Marlene reflects on her own experiences with compassion, honesty, and wisdom. Together, they remind listeners that healing and growth often happen through connection and shared understanding.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Unpacking with Jennifer without laughter — from “front butt” anatomy lessons to kids’ sass, tacos, grilled cheese debates, and the never-ending chaos of fourth-grade homework, this conversation swings from raw to ridiculous in the most beautiful way.

If you’ve ever had a friend who walked beside you through life’s hardest and happiest moments — this one’s for you.

Jennifer is back and unpacking it all in this solo episode — from family life and funny parenting moments to the behind-the-scenes of her organizing world!

This week, she dives deep into what real organizing looks like — not the Pinterest-perfect kind, but the messy, human kind. She shares stories about working with clients (including one who’s realizing her ADHD patterns and how that affects her space), the emotional side of letting go, and how to simplify your life without adding more to your to-do list.

Jennifer also talks about the realities of those Facebook “Buy Nothing” and “Mom” groups — how they can be both helpful and overwhelming — and why sometimes donating or scheduling a pickup is the real form of self-care.

From laundry rooms that become catch-alls to hall closets overflowing with 75 coats (yes, really), Jennifer gets honest, funny, and practical about what we keep, why we keep it, and how to make systems that actually work for your life.

Whether you’re dealing with front-loading washers that smell like “a bag of sparts,” a mountain of unmatched shoes by the door, or the eternal question of why do I still have all these boxes? This episode will make you laugh, nod, and maybe even grab a donation bag.

Jennifer wraps it all up with her signature humor, heartfelt advice, and a reminder that organizing isn’t about perfection — it’s about making life a little easier, one small system at a time.

Hit play for a relatable, laughter-filled, and refreshingly real take on the chaos of family life and the art of letting go.

Part 2 of this powerful two-part conversation dives deep. Jennifer and Tansy go beyond the laughs and Disneyland stories to talk about life’s harder seasons—grief, loss, isolation, and what it really takes to find yourself again after heartbreak.

From sneaking Charlotte into Disneyland and margaritas at California Adventure 🍹, to the pain of losing Tansy’s father and navigating the dark, lonely space of grief, this episode is raw, real, and full of love. Jennifer shares what it’s like watching a friend go through something you can’t fix, and Tansy opens up about how she found her spark again—moving home, healing, and slowly rebuilding a life that feels like hers.

This is a conversation about friendship, family, resilience, and giving yourself (and others) grace in the messy seasons. It’s heartfelt, relatable, and surprisingly uplifting—because even in loss, there’s laughter, connection, and hope.

If you’ve ever supported a friend through hard times—or been the one needing support—this episode will resonate deeply.
