When Home Hurts More Than it Heals

When Home Hurts More Than it Heals

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 ❤️

Life Lessons That Loss Has Taught Us

Life Lessons That Loss Has Taught Us

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.

We were wrong about America

We were wrong about America

There are a few myths and misconceptions about America that we have found to be not true, and this week, we wanted to share our experiences with you.

Brian and Liz, husband and wife, are in Colorado, USA.

Join them today as they take you on a stroll through their (very American) neighbourhood to spill the beans on:

Being stuck out in the middle of nowhere with a stranger.

A USA myth that turns out to be true, (and one we wish we had)

Liz’s shock reaction after the release of her new book

The biggest American myth of all, and one that rocked these two (quite adventurous and brave) British New Zealanders.

This will be the last podcast episode of 2025.

May we take this chance to say how much we love and appreciate you, how your support means so very much to us and how we hope you will continue to join us in 2026.

Happy New Year, lovely people,

with all love and gentleness always,

Kia Kaha
