Back in England 48 Hours. Ripped Off Twice | Marriage Diaries

Back in England 48 Hours. Ripped Off Twice | Marriage Diaries

This week, husband and wife, Brian and Liz, share their recent married life podcast shenanigans. Recently returned from their two-month summer in Greece, they have been in their beloved birthplace, Blighty, for 48 hours and have somehow managed to get ripped off. Twice.

Not that Liz is bitter. No. As she reminds Brian many times, marriage isn’t just about love and laughter and making podcasts about pigeons. It’s about carrying the weight together.

Honest…

Thank you, as always, for being here with us. You are what makes this podcast so special.

Yours, ripped off but still together and laughing,


Liz and Brian. Husband and wife. x

Greece Changed Me. Why I Don’t Want to Leave

Greece Changed Me. Why I Don’t Want to Leave

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

If you’re struggling with loss, listen to this

If you’re struggling with loss, listen to this

“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

Mouth tape, money, and travelling with adult kids. An update from Greece

Mouth tape, money, and travelling with adult kids. An update from Greece

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.

Leaving your husband to spend a month in PARIS. Not what I expected (at all)

Leaving your husband to spend a month in PARIS. Not what I expected (at all)

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.

I lost her then i lost me. A raw conversation about grief, loss, and the fear of becoming someone new

I lost her then i lost me. A raw conversation about grief, loss, and the fear of becoming someone new

What if the hardest part of being real… is letting people see it?

We almost didn’t record this podcast. The voice in my head said: Don’t show too much. Don’t be too much.

But I’m tired of that voice.
Tired of searching for safety instead of being it.
