This week on Unpacking with Jennifer, things get hilariously real—and unexpectedly raw—as Jennifer sits down with her dear friend and longtime client, Rachel Souverain. What starts with laughter and shoe-shaming (yes, we’re talking Crocs) quickly unfolds into something much deeper.

From their first meeting (which may or may not have involved a little white lie to Rachel’s husband) to sharing the wild ride of motherhood, aging, and organizing under fire, this episode unpacks more than just closets. It’s about the heartbreaks no one prepares you for, the moments you wouldn’t wish on anyone, and the quiet tears shed between the chaos.

They talk about parenting through the pressures of modern life, how “The Reginas of the world” (yes, those Plastics still exist) are now affecting their daughters, and how to help raise girls with resilience and grace in the face of middle school mean girl madness.

Through laughter, vulnerability, and more than a few curse words, Jennifer and Rachel share a friendship forged in fire drills and real life—offering a heartfelt, unfiltered look at what it means to survive, support, and show up for each other.

Hit play for a rollercoaster of honesty, healing, and the kind of conversation we all need.

Get ready to laugh, learn, and feel totally seen in this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Unpacking with Jennifer! Jennifer is joined by her longtime friend Becky Clausen, who's a fitness coach, homeschooling mom, creative problem solver, and all-around superhero (with approximately 127 million accolades to her name).

From strength training in Becky’s garage gym to building deep family bonds across time zones via Zoom game nights, they unpack what it really means to show up for yourself and your family. You’ll hear how their friendship started after a nervous message in a mommy Facebook group, why Becky’s approach to fitness felt different (and doable!), and how she’s cultivated connection, joy, and laughter through every season of motherhood.

Plus, Becky shares her experience homeschooling her two kids (now thriving adults), her secret to keeping family ties strong despite distance, and why being "not your typical homeschooler" actually worked in her favor. This one is full of laughs, love, and reminders that sometimes the most meaningful moments are the ones we create at home.

In this jaw-dropping continuation with my ride-or-dies Kim and Lisa, we dive headfirst (literally, in Kim’s case) into a hoarder house filled with ghosts, expired mayo, and a refrigerator crime scene. From creepy energies to 30-year-old brownies that somehow looked fresh, this episode has it all: laughter, gagging, nostalgia, and a whole lot of “WTF.” Spoiler alert: Kim’s bravery puts mine to shame. Again.

This week, I’m joined by a very special guest—my husband, David Satel! We’re taking a hilariously winding walk down memory lane: from elementary school crushes to awkward Facebook reconnections, drunken first visits (sorry, hockey game), surprise omelets with a hint too much bell pepper, and a trip to New York that involved secret speakeasies and hot dogs. It’s messy, it’s honest, it’s romantic in our own ridiculous way—and it all started with a random Facebook “people you may know.” Also: I finally got my Social Security card with my new last name—David and our daughter are thrilled, but the DMV looms. Buckle up. This one’s a ride.
