## Resource

It’s a full-on celebration episode…with chaos, of course. Laura’s birthday turns into a mini party complete with laughs, surprises, and one VERY questionable cake situation thanks to Erik, who somehow managed to completely screw it up in the most Erik way possible. Then the drama kicks in as Erik gives an update on his never-ending customer service war that is spiraling into pure comedy at this point. Producer Claire recaps her unforgettable trip to Istanbul, while Laura shares all the emotional, exciting, and exhausting moments from her huge NYC week celebrating her daughter’s graduation from Fordham University. Big laughs, ridiculous stories, heartfelt moments, and the kind of fun escape you need to blur out the daily stress. Love your podcast!!!
