A friend reached out asking for advice. I suggested she do what makes her happy. She replied, I don’t think I’ve ever done that.
At first, I was shocked. Imagine that, I thought. How sad.
Then, 9 seconds passed, and I realised I’m exactly the same. Worse actually.
I’ve become a person who is scared and anxious to do what makes me happy. I need a million reassurances, soothing words, and pats on the back. Smiles all round. Only then will I commit. Maybe.
Here’s a conversation about that.
We hope it helps if you find yourself in the same situation.
This is a very honest conversation between a husband and wife, sharing who we are and how we do life.
Sharing how our family healing journey, our extended sabbatical, our world-wandering, transformative search for “home”.
Sharing this space and time with YOU to contemplate who we are, how we manage life, who we want to be next and how to figure that out is an honour.
We hope you see in us what we see in you.
Love and oneness.
Thank you so very much for being with us.

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.
He couldn’t even lift a coffee cup.
An injury that started in Canada took his strength and confidence, leaving him in quite a dark place. 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

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
Liz and Brian x
