This week has been horrible, it really has.
I’m sorry, but we have more sad news to share. Thank you for being here and letting us talk about it.
We also share the difficulties of being able to rest. I for one, struggle to differentiate between work and rest, and as I made this episode, I realised that I might be using the excuse of “but I LOVE to create” to distract myself from grief.
Either that or I’m a workaholic.
The truth is, I’m scared of dropping the balls that I’ve spent years learning to juggle. If this sounds like you, I think you’ll enjoy this episode.
This is such a fascinating topic, and I intend to write about it in-depth (obviously not when I’m supposed to be resting with Brian…) for my private newsletter readers.
You can sign up for that newsletter here.
For now, please enjoy this episode and thank you again for being you. I love and appreciate you.

There’s been a bit of a to-do in New Zealand this week.
A shortage of HRT. Scary stuff…
Talking about taking hormone replacement, Brian shares why he takes Testosterone, and the couple discuss their battle to stay true, keep it real and refrain from hitting the delete button whenever they make a mistake.
Enjoy!

Be the help you needed.
That’s always been my motto. My blueprint. My words-in-guiding-armour that help me forward whenever I feel stuck. Especiaslly in these terrifying times of deep grief when I hesitate to share my sadness and struggles for fear of losing subscribers or upsetting those here for the laughs.
But.
What I have today has to be shared.
It has to be.
Last week I experienced panic and hope in a way that I never expected. Or knew how to cope with. But I did cope…and by talking about these things I felt empowered and obliged to share.
I wish I’d known about the physiological side of grief. I wish someone had warned me what it does to your brain. Your mood, your thoughts.
I hope by sharing my experiences, I can be the help for you.
Thank you for listening and watching. We love you.

No description. No words. Just a story.
And a thank you. A huge, huge thank you.
Thank you for allowing me to share the intimate details of such a sad and heartbreaking time. And for confirming that no matter who we are, where we live, what we look like, or how we spend our days:
Our hearts beat as one.
And now, a tribute to the woman who made it all seem so very easy.
I love you.

My Blog: It’s a Drama
by Liz Deacle | Personal, Podcasts
Wrong. Wrong. And wrong again.
You’d think that I’d have learned by now. I’ve had fifty-three years to practice, after all.
But no.
Still, I make the mistake of thinking that to make things ‘better’ and ‘easier’, I must look outside of myself.
Go far afield. Spend a ton of money and wrap my mum and me up in cashmere rugs, then sit alongside Rose and Kathy Bates in first class on the Titanic.
Way off, Liz. Not even close.
This week’s podcast update is brought to you with love, tenderness and gratitude. And a few tears.
We wanted to share three things that happened to us in the past few weeks. Small serenities that brought unexpected comfort and respite while we attempt to navigate the imminent loss of my lovely mum.
Thank you for allowing us this safe space to share the intimate details of this challenging time in our lives. You are wonderful.
Yours,
Liz and Brian xx

This was one of the hardest podcast episodes I have ever recorded. But it was necessary.
I won’t watch the recording back because I know for a fact that I’ll get cold feet and tell Bri to delete it.
So. I hope it’s okay and that it isn’t too upsetting for you—my sincere apologies if it is. My intention was never to make you feel sad, only strong. Hugged. Confident. Brave enough to speak your truth. To always say what you wish to say to the people who matter the most.
Because the world needs truth.
The world needs real.
The world needs people like you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening.
Yours,
Liz x
