About the Podcast

What happens when a married couple downsizes everything and moves from the U.S. to Mexico? We’re Erica and Jeff, and on This Might Be a Bad Idea, we give you an unfiltered look at expat life and marriage in real time. Every week, we unpack the wins, the culture shocks, and the questionable decisions that follow when you say “let’s move abroad.”

Expect real, relatable stories about navigating life in Mexico as Americans—going from adapting to new routines and customs, handling unexpected challenges, and simply trying to keep it together. Whether you’re planning a move abroad, dating an expat, or just curious about life in Mexico, our podcast delivers authentic stories with a side of clarity.

Key themes: expat life, moving abroad, relocation stories, marriage abroad, living in Mexico, culture shock, and navigating life transitions—all told through conversations that feel like you’re sitting in the room with us.

Tune in weekly for real-life stories, laughter, occasional meltdowns, and yes—the occasional questionable decision or two.
