How ARE you? Answering the question that every struggling person dreads

This week, we discuss what happened at a recent family funeral. Whether you should tell the truth when someone asks how you are. And if not, WHY not?

At the end of the podcast, Liz also shares a reading from her soon-to-be-released book on grief, loss and healing. If you are struggling with loss of any kind, I think my book will help you ❤️

Thank you, as always, for being here with us.

You are what makes this podcast so special.

My heart beats with yours.

Kia Kaha.

it's what you do in that place that will...

Feeling a little lost and wondering where "home" is, husband and wife Brian and Liz are back to take you along on a walking podcast, and this time, they've landed in a three-month rental just outside Bath.

In this deeply personal conversation, Liz shares why the view of an ancient church from her window is helping her write the book on grief she was always meant to write, and Brian opens up about the simple things that make him happy.

This is for anyone who has ever felt a little lost, is redefining "home" after a loss, or is simply wondering how to find pockets of light and purpose right where they are.

We hope you enjoy this raw, real, and uplifting walk through the beautiful English countryside with us (and sorry in advance for needing a loo break and also the marriage spats as we go on our merry way...how embarrassing...??!!)

Feeling fragile and searching for an anchor, husband and wife, Brian and Liz, are back in England, trying to find a short-term rental in Bath.

They tackle the scary financial reality of their married nomadic life and why they believe spending savings on making memories with their young adult kids is worth every penny.

This is (once again) a deeply vulnerable episode, where Liz shares how a hurtful YouTube comment landed on the very day she was driving to see her brother for the first time since their dad's funeral, and in turn, sparks a crucial conversation about the real-world impact of our words online.

We hope you enjoy this raw, real, and uplifting look at the cost of living without a fixed address and where to find home when you need it most. We also give you our individual and private husband and wife diaries at the end of the podcast.

This week, husband and wife, Brian and Liz, share their recent married life podcast shenanigans. Recently returned from their two-month summer in Greece, they have been in their beloved birthplace, Blighty, for 48 hours and have somehow managed to get ripped off. Twice.

Not that Liz is bitter. No. As she reminds Brian many times, marriage isn’t just about love and laughter and making podcasts about pigeons. It’s about carrying the weight together.

Honest...

Thank you, as always, for being here with us. You are what makes this podcast so special.

Yours, ripped off but still together and laughing,

Liz and Brian. Husband and wife. x

We've been MARRIED for thirty-odd years. This year, after a huge family loss, we took our young adult kids and spent the summer in Greece. Here's how it went.

Our summer in Greece has come to an end, and we don't want to leave.

Greece has done wonders for our family, our marriage, my healing, Sonny's income, and our waistline. All have grown.

Here's what we have loved, what we'll miss and what we are nervous about facing in England.

Thank you so very much for being here with us.

Yours, forever grateful

Liz and Brian, husband and wife. x

What would you do with a million dollars?
Brian would buy a car. Liz would build a writing retreat. Welcome to marriage.

In this episode, Brian and I chat about money, marriage tiffs, and why giving yourself time — real, uninterrupted, guilt-free time — can change everything.

We talk about our last precious days in Greece (and why we never want this spell to end), the joy of being unapologetically self-indulgent, supporting adult kids while still carving out a life of your own, and what “being time-rich” really means.
