This week on Before Boca, we gave ourselves a challenge thatsounded simple… and turned out to be wildly humbling: no complaining and no criticizing for an entire week. 😬

Spoiler alert: it was harder than we expected — and we were way less successful than we thought we’d be. From catching ourselves mid-eye roll to realizing just how automatic our negativity can be, we break down the moments we failed, the tiny wins we celebrated, and the surprisingly powerfulinsights we uncovered along the way.

We talk about:
• How often we complain without even realizing it
• The sneaky ways criticism shows up in daily life
• What it taught us about mindset, relationships, and ourselves
• The shifts we actually want to take forward

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not negative…” (but maybe kinda are 👀),this episode is for you. Join us for laughs, honesty, and a few uncomfortabletruths — because growth isn’t always pretty, but it’s always worth it.

✨Tune in, try the challenge with us, and tell us how it goes.

You know that feeling when your to-do list is longer than your patience?Yep. That’s overwhelm. And in this episode, we’re diving headfirst into it.

We unpack what actually makes us feel overwhelmed (spoiler: it’s not just our calendars), how it shows up in our bodies and moods, and the very predictable ways we usually try to cope (hello, doom-scrolling and busying ourselves into exhaustion).

Then…we decided to shake things up.

This week we experimented with three very different interventions:
✨An infrared sauna
✨A breathwork + sound bath workshop
✨And yes, actually learning how to meditate

We share what each experience really felt like (the good, theawkward, the “wait…is this working?” moments), what surprised us most, and which practices we might actually stick with moving forward.

If you’ve been craving more calm but don’t know where to start, this episode is for you. No pressure to become a zen master—just honest conversations about finding a little more peace in the chaos of midlife.

Grab your headphones, take a deep breath, and join us.
Because inner peace? We’re working on it. 😉

Calling all empty nesters (and those about to be). Life is fine—but your calendar has more white space, the noise has quieted, and somehow everything feels a little… flat.

In our premiere episode of Before Boca, we dive into that sneaky midlife boredom that shows up without warning—and usually without a plan. We unpack what boredom actually looks like in this season of life, how we sometimes make it worse without realizing it, and why this exact feeling nudged us to start a podcast in the first place.

In this episode, we explore:

· How boredom (and our coping behaviors) have changed over the years

· What genuinely helps—and what quietly makes things worse

· What boredom might be trying to tell us (annoying, but true)

· Why boredom could actually be an invitation to write a new chapter

If you’ve ever thought, “Is this it?”—this conversation is for you.
