Oh, hi, y'all. This is Lauren. Happy Wednesday. Happy August. If you follow Nicole on the Instagram,

then you already know that she is in Sweden on a much-deserved vacation. She and Gustav and Leif

are there visiting Gustav's family.

And so because of that, we are taking a very rare week off.

It's a very fun podcast that I definitely recommend. And they had Nicole and myself on during
