  A Year Spent Together: It's Not The Same Anymore 08.09.2026 52min

  A year ago, I was terrified of being alone. When we started this year-long nomadic healing journey, I was convinced that if I let my family out of my sight, something terrible would happen to them; that they'd all die, and I'd be left with no one. This was all part of grief. I know that now. But it affected not just me but also Brian and the kids. Now, fifteen months into our journey, we share what's changed. The fear has finally loosened its grip on my heart, and I can safely let people out of my sight without dreading them never returning. Today, we share how we felt leaving Greece a year ago and how we feel now. The physical and mental health challenges, financial pressures, uncertainty and some pretty big challenges. This is a very honest conversation between a husband and wife, about what this family healing journey has really done to us. And we are honoured to have you here to listen. Thank you. So very much.

  Living in Greece has changed a few things 10.07.2026 43min

  Find Brian's Toolbox Meetings Here  ➡️  We're still in Paros, Greece. When we arrived on this Greek island six weeks ago, Brian was a little broken. Both physically and mentally.

Today, we want to share a few changes we've implemented that have made a huge difference to both our mental and physical health. In this episode, we talk about: 62-year-old Brian's injury journey and how he plucked up the courage and strength to return to the macho gym. What it's like living with two young adult kids (and a girlfriend) in a Greek house The mindset shift around cleaning that changed everything Plus, Brian shares something he's been working on (and we've got more to come) Thank you for being here, for leaving a comment on wherever you listen and for being you. You're the reason we keep sharing. Love you, guys, so much, Liz and Brian xx  Links:  📍Contact BRIAN to find out more about his upcoming wonderful mastermind group.

  Thailand. Why we keep Coming Back 05.06.2026 1t 19min

  Brian and Liz are back in Chiang Mai, Thailand, for the fourth time. Why do they keep coming back? Because it seals their empty gaps. Fills their tired tanks. Because they feel like emotionally intelligent adults. A grown-up husband and wife couple instead of silly old mum and dad who are old and decrepit and know nothing but still have to pay for everything anyway. If ever you are in need of some you time, Thailand is the place. Here's why.

  Back in New Zealand. To face the Music. 22.05.2026 52min

  Brian and Liz, are back in New Zealand. They have rented their rural lifestyle property for another year so they can continue their nomadic lifestyle around the world. The new tenants take over in ten days. But before this can happen, there are many, many, many (tons actually) of things to attend to. Both in and out of the house. Ten hard, sloggy emotional days later, we are on our way back to the airport to fly away from NZ. But we couldn't possibly leave without sharing exactly what the experience has been like. So we pulled over to record this podcast. It's a bit weird. It's dark, and we can hardly stay awake. But we're here. Just about. This is what it looks like when you have an effing huge mountain to climb and rely on the endless love and support you have for each other.  With all our love and gratitude from inside a dark car somewhere on The Forgotten World Highway in Taranaki, New Zealand Liz and Brian x Links mentioned in the show: 🇳🇿 LOVE NEW ZEALAND and want to know what life is like there?

So we are here to settle her in. London has changed. It is not what we thought. Here are some big changes that shocked us. So much so, we decided to walk through the East End of London and share them with you. 'Cause you're the best and we bladdy lav ya.

  Brian and Liz, husband and wife, have rented their New Zealand home for another year so they can continue their nomadic lifestyle around the world.

  Return to New Zealand. Or Not. 09.04.2026 50min

  We held off sharing this episode. It's one of those uncomfortable (but real) conversations that married couples have when they need to get something sorted, but they can't seem to agree. These conversations usually happen in private. But. We strive to keep things real and remain honest with you on this podcast. So here we are. Awkwardness and all. Thank you for being part of this community. Of this journey. For making us feel brave enough to share not just the ups and the laughs and the funny stories, but the downs, the tears and the sweaty-palmed conversations. Conversations like this one.

  Parenting Young Adult Kids: Here's What Happened Last Night 24.03.2026 1t 5min

  Parenting kids in their twenties is wonderful, daunting, fabulous, worrying, easy, really, really hard, joyful, exhausting, confusing, a privilege, expensive, ageing and a joy.  We have been travelling the world as a family for a year. Next month, our kids will go their separate ways. Sonny will go to America, and Tess will live in London. Last night, we had a task. To go out for the night and talk to our kids separately. To find out what's going on and ask how they feel. Our results were poles apart. Here's what happened. We love you. Thank you for your gorgeous support. If you would like to show us some love, you can do so by leaving us a review wherever you listen to this podcast.  It would also be wonderful if you shared this episode with a friend who craves real-life, never-edited-or-filtered conversations.

  We were wrong about America 31.12.2025 48min

  There are a few myths and misconceptions about America that we have found to be not true, and this week, we wanted to share our experiences with you. Brian and Liz, husband and wife, are in Colorado, USA. Join them today as they take you on a stroll through their (very American) neighbourhood to spill the beans on: Being stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a stranger. A USA myth that turns out to be true, (and one we wish we had) Liz's shock reaction after the release of her new book The biggest American myth of all, and one that rocked these two (quite adventurous and brave) British New Zealanders. This will be the last podcast episode of 2025. May we take this chance to say how much we love and appreciate you, how your support means so very much to us and how we hope you will continue to join us in 2026.
