This week on This RomCom Life, we're talking breath, boundaries, and… bar tabs? (Yes, really.)Breath:We dive into the science-backed benefits of meditation — not just for your mind, but for your relationships. I open up about my own journey from meditation skeptic to full-on believer, how it's helped me grow emotionally, and why Dan says it's changed our marriage in ways neither of us expected. Plus, I share how it's fueling my new life coaching work and what it looks like to create calm in the chaos. Boundaries:We explore how the 5-5-5 method (our favorite relationship tool) helps us talk through hard things — without spiraling into arguments. Whether you're dating someone new or 20 years in, this simple technique can totally shift how you connect.Bonding:Dan shares takeaways from a recent father-son trip — the laughs, the awkward silences, and the unexpected connection moments that made it all worth it.Big Feelings:We also open up about the rise in antisemitism, how it's impacting us as a Jewish family, and the importance of staying honest and grounded as partners and parents through painful conversations.Bar Tabs:Finally, we wrap with a fun (and kinda mind-blowing) trend: Gen Z isn't opening tabs at bars. Is it budgeting? Is it dating politics? Is it emotional boundaries in drink form? We've got thoughts — and some nostalgic Gen X takes.
