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.
Thank you for subscribing and taking the time to leave us a review. Your support means the world to us and is what keeps us going.
Kia kaha,
Liz and Brian x
