  • The Marriage Reset—The Rekindling Era
    Mar 25 2026

    Somewhere between carpools, careers, and raising kids, a lot ofcouples quietly drift from partners… to co-managers of life.

    In this episode, we’re talking about how to find your way back.

    We dive into the research behind why so many marriages lose their spark in this stage and more importantly, what actually helps couples reconnect. From shifting your mindset back to couplehood (not just family management), to the small but powerful habits that rebuild closeness, we unpack what really matters.

    We explore the role of friendship, intimacy, humor, communication, and shared rituals and why doing new, novel things together can be a game changer. We alsotalk about creating fresh goals, new bucket lists, and a future that feels exciting together, not just functional.

    Because this chapter isn’t the end of the story… it might actually be where things get really good.

  • Microdosing Happiness
    Mar 18 2026


    What actually makes a day feel like a good day?

    This week we dive into the science behind what we can do to "microdose" some happiness into each day. Not the big, life-changing kind, but the little bursts of joy that can turn an ordinary Tuesday into something brighter.

    From blasting your favorite playlist in the car, to laughing with your best friend, catching a sunset, or finally tackling that junk drawer you’ve been ignoring for months, we explore the surprisingly powerful moments that lift our mood.

    We also dig into the research on why certain experiences spark more happiness than others, and how small, intentional choices throughout the day can tip the balance from more rain… to a lot more sunshine.

    Because maybe happiness isn’t something you find someday,
    maybe it’s something you sprinkle into the middle of a perfectly ordinary day.

    Stepping outside your comfort zone sounds great in theory… until you actually have to do it.In this episode, we dive into why pushing ourselves beyond what feels safe and familiar is so important for growth and why it can feel so uncomfortable in the moment. We talk about the times in our lives when we took the leap, the times we wish we had, and how those decisions shaped who we are today.And because we believe you can’t just talk about it… we decided to actually do it. We challenged ourselves to try something that pushed us way outside our current comfort zones and spoiler: it ended up being way more fun than we expected.Sometimes the things that scare us the most are the exact things that shake up our routines, bring new energy into our lives, and remind us we’re still capable of trying something new.If you’ve been feeling a little stuck, a little bored, or like you’re ready to shake things up… this episode is your nudge.The information shared on Before Boca is for general informational and entertainment purposes only.
