Brian, Liz and their two adult kids are house-sitting in British Columbia, Canada, for three months.
Last week, they received a comment on their YouTube channel asking, “Where do you call home? ”
Today, they take you for a walk around their temporary Canadian neighbourhood and share their unscripted, vulnerable thoughts and feelings about Canada, New Zealand, leaving their kids, healing, and… a few other things I won’t write here.
Thank you. We love you, and we appreciate you more than you can imagine. Please don’t forget to subscribe and say hi in the comments ❤️

Last week, we received a comment on the podcast that said, “We would love to do what you are doing, but it seems too risky”.
In today’s episode, we would like to address that comment and share with you a few life lessons grief has taught us.
We would like to pass on the reason we travel the world, even though we still have a massive, big, fat mortgage.
This is why we do what we do. And this is how we do it.
We hope our words bring you clarity and inspiration.
We love you. Thank you for your support and your wonderful comments.
If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend who needs it, and please don’t forget to subscribe and leave us a review on whichever platform you listen to. It only takes a minute and helps us enormously ❤️
With all love and gentleness always,
our hearts beat with yours.
Kia Kaha, Liz and Brian xx.

This is one of those rare conversations between a husband and wife that feels too private and vulnerable to share publicly.
But share we will
because I know that there is someone out there who needs to hear these words. And so I dedicate this podcast episode to you.
Today, Brian interviews Liz about her newly released book: You Won’t Just. Cry When They Die: Love, loss and the heartbreaking reality of grief.
My heart beats with yours. Always

Sometimes you have to let it go. Even if it hurts your pride. Even if you’re scared people will judge you.
Even if it did cost over a grand.
This week, join husband and wife podcasters, Liz and Brian, as they take you for a stroll through the English countryside and share three tough decisions they’ve made on their nomadic year of travel, how the UK is giving them challenges and why they love each other more than ever.
At the end of the podcast, Liz also shares another reading from her soon-to-be-released book on grief, loss and healing. If you are struggling with loss of any kind, this book will help you. I will let you know as soon as it is available.
Until then, know that my heart beats with yours. You are not alone. You are loved.
Thank you, as always, for being here with us. You are what makes this podcast so special.
Kia Kaha, beautiful you

Has anyone REALLY got their life together? Got it all sorted? We’ve been married for twenty-five years, and I know we haven’t.
This week, husband and wife Brian and Liz feel unsettled. As they walk the canals of Bath, they get real and honest about feeling uncertain about the future and share the times they’ve felt completely lost on their year-long nomadic family journey.
If you’ve ever felt like everyone else has their life together and you don’t then you will love this epiosde.
Get ready to hear four vulnerable stories: the panic of being asked to attend a local social gathering (where they purposely lied and tied themselves in knots), the worry that ruins a beautiful trip, the fear of admitting “I don’t know” to their own kids, and the small rituals they cling to when life feels uncertain.
Listen to this episode if you want to know:
-
How to handle questions from strangers about your life when you haven’t got a clue what you’re even doing
-
How to talk to your adult kids about financial struggles (AKA: NO. We can’t afford it)
-
Morning routine for when you feel anxious
- Us having abuse hurled at us by some random strangers on the Tow Path (see if you spot it…)
Thank you, as always, for being here with us. You are what makes this podcast so special.
My heart beats with yours.
Kia Kaha.

What day was it?
When exactly did you decide to stop? To tame it down. To hold it in. To bottle your emotions.
Was it a Sunday? A Thursday? Maybe it was a Tuesday.
When was it that you told yourself it was no longer acceptable to cry? To bawl your eyes out. To sob. To heave. To snort. To release.
To feel.
What day was the bill passed? When did you reach the verdict that you were just too much for people? That you would no longer be the complete, warts‑and‑all version of you— The person you were born to be.
When did you first reverse the action?
Learn to swallow the salt and halt the gush?
When did you master the skill of diverting the flow— of sending the tears back to the inside of your skull?
Have them wait at the rear entrance of your nose and only let them fall once you are safe and alone. Facing the back of the bathroom door with your head pressed into the damp dressing‑gown that hangs on the middle peg.
When did the tears that once flew so freely down those beautiful cheeks get downgraded to the inside of your fingers— to the creases of your frustrated hands?
When did we get into the habit of ramming hard our delicate, salt‑sodden eyelids into the heel of our palms?
When?
