## Resource

AI is taking over—and Jill, Melissa, and Kelly have a LOT to say about it! The moms chat about the good, the bad, and the downright strange side of AI, from Kelly getting a massage by a robot to self-checkout taking over everywhere and the disappearing art of genuine customer service.  Melissa is back from LA after a fun trip with Kenzie celebrating Romeo’s 2nd birthday and cheering on the Dodgers. She also shares a heartbreaking story about a family in her neighborhood who recently lost their home in a fire, leaving them with nothing. Then things take a surprising turn when Melissa and Kelly reveal how much they actually love going to the laundromat—and why they think they could open one of their own! Melissa’s would be pink and happy, while Kelly’s would have a bar. 😂 Jill has never been to a laundromat and is ready to see what all the hype is about! Plus, the moms offer advice to a new mom who is getting ready to return to work. Jill can especially relate as Riley is navigating the same transition.  Have a question for the moms?
