No one would argue the Year 2020 will go down in history as the most unpolished to date. Episode 10 acknowledges the setbacks we’ve had but also takes time to marvel in the hidden treasures uncovered during a time of unprecedented hardships.

Episode 9: FriendSHIPS Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

It’s a compound word literally and figuratively. Some friends are here for the long haul to set sail through the ocean’s motion of life together no matter how choppy the seas get. And others, we find over time are more fair weathered; not as easily able to handle the storm of the changes encountered as we get older. Some friendSHIPS carry heavy cargo and there may come a point in the journey when it’s better served to make a choice to disembark the vessel in an effort to avoid having to scream “Mayday” because the friendSHIP is in imminent danger of sinking. Tune in as Rachel Silver-Cohen and Dr. Boca break down the FriendSHIP wreckage as they discuss which FriendSHIPS are worth salvaging and which are castaways.

Show notes

Fear can be a seriously crippling and gut-wrenching emotional byproduct when facing life decisions. However, be it big or small tackling our fears head-on is what empowers us to overcome the paralysis. There’s nothing scarier than lingering in the limbo because the indecisiveness only fuels the fear more. In this episode, Dr. Boca and Rachel Sllver-Cohen discuss some of their own personal fears and the steps they’ve made to take back control. The wreckage is raw and emotional but as always, being brave enough to address the darkness is how we break free to conquer our fears and move forward toward the light!

In our modern day era of “hurry up and get it done,” has traditional etiquette completely evaporated?
