It’s been quite a year for us. 

If you have followed the podcast for a while, you will know that we have suffered two big losses. Both Liz’s mum and dad passed within 6 months of each other.

And before you know it, it’s Christmas time. Which is always the hardest.

Determined to celebrate Christmas in a way that we have never done before, in a country the four of us love, we have decided to leave New Zealand to spend a month-long-once-in-a-lifetime family break in…?

Did you know we now have a SECRET podcast? Behind The Drama is a fabulous member-only podcast where Brian and I take you deeper into the more personal stories about life as a married, entrepreneurial couple.

A couple who juggle travel, family, business, mental health and marriage.

A couple who have two adult kids that still live at home.

But that’s okay.

Because they don’t mind being slaves.

Honest.

If you are of a certain age who dreams of throwing conventional life into the air and swapping it for optimism, yes-ness, adventure, and a ton of much-needed knicker-wetting humour, then this is the podcast for you – It is real, it is honest, it is tough, and it is JUST what you need.

Trust me, you LOVE this! Find out more by going to https://patreon.com/itsadrama

 

Thank you for listening; you are fabulous, and we love you.

It’s good to be back in New Zealand.

Three things happened to us last week that made us want to fall to our knees and kiss our home soil.

Sit back and allow us to share what they were and why we adore the country of New Zealand so very much.

PS: Please ignore Brian’s face when we talk about the walking man. He’s constipated.

(Brian, not the walking man) ❤️🇳🇿

(more) Unwanted news

(more) Unwanted news

We thought the sad news was over. Had floated away like water under a bridge. Babble, babble, babble. Brook, brook, brook. No more crying into a microphone. No more looking worried. No more sorrowful recalls.

But no. I’m sorry to say that this week’s episode is a sad one. The floodgates are open once more. 

This episode was so very hard to record. But record it, we did. Because it is important for us to be honest with you. Transparent. Real. You grant us the space to be who we are, to share everything that life throws at us. Both good and bad. You have given us your trust.

And for that, we love you.

So, as hard as it was to make this episode, it felt right to do so. We hope you feel the same.

Thank you, my friend. Thank you for allowing us, once again, to lean on you this week. We love and cherish you.

We’re in Fiji (and it’s NOT what we thought)

We’re in Fiji (and it’s NOT what we thought)

So this is the BEST Island in Fiji?

BULA!! Today’s episode is brought to you ON LOCATION. We are IN Fiji. Actually there. With the plan trees and everything.

I’ve always wanted to say that. “On location”. 

It reminds me of Judith Chalmers when she’d stand by a fishing boat somewhere in the Bahamas wearing a turquoise sarong. Flashing her polished dentures at the camera while we all watched through the telly in England. Drooling. Depressed. Wishing it was sunny and not dark at four o’clock.

Fiji Wedding Party, here we come…

Liz and Brian and getting ready to go to a wedding in Fiji.

Of course, there are concerns. Just a few. What with those dancing men and crab-racing women? It’s all too much to think about…So Liz, thinks about her old pal, Mo. You know, Mo? The salt-of-the-earth mother-in-law. Mo, with no knickers…THAT Mo.

Join us as we plan a VERY special (and extra sociable) occasion!
