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

Liz and Brian xx

Love, loss and the Heartbreaking Reality of Grief

Love, loss and the Heartbreaking Reality of Grief

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

Kia Kaha

After 16 years away, husband and wife Liz and Brian have returned to old Blighty, England, for a three-month stay.

At the end of this week’s podcast, Liz also shares another reading from her soon-to-be-released book on grief, loss and healing. If you are struggling with any kind of loss, this book will help you. I will let you know as soon as it is available.

There is so much you know.

Kia Kaha,
