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

Another behind-the-scenes podcast where Liz and Brian share their decision to discuss such personal details about their marriage and life in public (including talking about Liz’s mum, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer).
The couple talks about how their family is (trying) to navigate the “new normal”, addressing guilt, wrestling with emotions and lastly, the importance of not assuming to know what others are thinking or feeling.
You never know. Not ever. If you doubt this statement, just remember what I told you about the Spitfire.
This podcast is my and Brian’s outlet: our escape, our therapy. And we really, really hope it feels the same for you too. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us your ear and allowing us into your life each week to chat.
You are incredibly important, cherished and loved by us both.

Yesterday, Liz experienced floatation therapy. Spent the day floating in a tank of salt water. Alone. No lights. No sounds. No Bri.
This week, the couple discuss the experience and Brian voices his very strong opinions on ‘Crotch Eye-balling’ and other weird and wonderful alternative therapies.
Sit back, nod, relate, and giggle while the couple talks about whacky stress relief, disastrous Greek hotels, and listener holiday laments.
Enjoy!
We want to hear from you! Drop us a comment below or email liz@itsadrama and let us know what alternative therapy you have experienced! How was it??
