This year, after a huge family loss, we took our young adult kids and spent the summer in Greece. Here’s how it went.
Our summer in Greece has come to an end, and we don’t want to leave.
Greece has done wonders for our family, our marriage, my healing, Sonny’s income, and our waistline. All have grown.
Here’s what we have loved, what we’ll miss and what we are nervous about facing in England.
Thank you so very much for being here with us.
Yours, forever grateful
Liz and Brian, husband and wife. x

What would you do with a million dollars?
Brian would buy a car. Liz would build a writing retreat. Welcome to marriage.
In this episode, Brian and I chat about money, marriage tiffs, and why giving yourself time — real, uninterrupted, guilt-free time — can change everything.
We talk about our last precious days in Greece (and why we never want this spell to end), the joy of being unapologetically self-indulgent, supporting adult kids while still carving out a life of your own, and what “being time-rich” really means.

We thought this week’s “outside the comfort zone” podcast episode would be about memory and how you perceive yourself, but it turned out to be so much more than that.
In this week’s podcast by the sea, you can expect to hear how Liz struggles with her son confessing to wanting to be a millionaire, how the couple are navigating life as they spend 24 hours a day together with a family of four in an apartment in Greece, and why we struggle to see ourselves as others do.
Enjoy, our lovely friends.

“It’s been a year, get on with it”.
If you are struggling with any kind of loss and want to feel supported and loved, this conversation is for you.
Not only will it help you, but you will see that you are normal, and, most importantly, not alone.
*This episode is part of our husband-and-wife healing conversations series. These podcast episodes are recorded outside. We are husband and wife, Liz and Brian, and we are currently staying on the Greek island of Paros with our two young adult kids as part of our year-long trip away from New Zealand.
The episode starts with us walking to a busy cafe. We invite you to come along with us and have a coffee and a chat. I think you need to hear this.
Kia kaha (stay strong), my brave friend. Liz and Brian x

We’re back, from our sunny Naousa balcony, on the Greek island of Paros, Greece, where we’re staying for a month with our two young adult kids for the summer.
In this episode, we share everything from mouth breathing to juggling money stresses, ageing bodies, emotional outbursts, and the messy, muddled brain that is (probably) caused by too much Ouzo.
Thank you so much for finding us and for staying around. If you enjoy the content and would like to support the show, please subscribe on your favourite platform.
And…if you’re feeling really, really generous and have a few minutes to spare, it would be wonderful if you’d leave us a review. Your support means the world to us. Thank you. ❤️

Liz left her husband Brian and went off to spend a month in Paris with her daughter. The dream Paris trip.
As is often the case, things went in the opposite direction from what she expected. Not in a bad way, though, in fact, things went in a very good way.
Her time in Paris brought up thoughts and feelings around the grief of losing both parents. Feelings she thought (hoped) had been resolved.
Not so. Very much not so.
This week, we want to talk to you about Liz’s Paris trip. About finding yourself alone with yourself and having time to face up to feelings you’ve been trying to push down.
Thank you so much for lending us your ear. And thank you for finding us and for staying around. I hope this helps you in some small way ❤️
My heart beats with yours.
Kia Kaha.
