I lost her then i lost me. A raw conversation about grief, loss, and the fear of becoming someone new
It's a Drama Podcast
What if the hardest part of being real… is letting people see it? We almost didn’t record this. 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. If you haven't yet joined my inner circle of friends, my life-letter readers, please do. You will be the first person I share everything with. I'd love to have you. . Brian and I recorded this audio-only episode while we were out at a café in Naoussa, Paros. There’s a lot of background noise, people chatting, drills drilling, cars...

The Norway Road trip. Brian Went to the Top of Norway and Back — Here’s What Happened
It's a Drama Podcast
Greetings from Athens, Greece! This week we're sharing the story of Brian’s recent (and very excitingly epic) Norway road trip — a bucketlist journey to the very tippy top of Norway to spend time with his two favourite people and witness the midnight sun. Along with our son (Sonny) and his brother (Dave), Brian has just driven thousands of kilometres, slept in beds around the country, and let the road lead him through some of the most remote, breathtaking landscapes in the world. Back in Liz's arms, safe and sound, the couple are here in Athens (as part of our year-long trip...

Goodbye, New Zealand
It's a Drama Podcast
If you've ever wanted to leave everything behind for a year, throw caution to the wind and get on a plane with nothing but a suitcase and a one-way ticket to Europe, then you will love this episode. After much (hardly any) planning and lots of cleaning, it is time for the Deacle family to leave New Zealand and head overseas for an adventure. This husband and wife, and their two young adult kids, have rented their house for a year and are leaving New Zealand for twelve months so they can reconnect and experience family time. With just a week to go before they depart, this is what life looks...

Ready to feel uncomfortable?
This walking podcast is a taste of the content we publish to our Patreon supporters. We wanted to share it with you, too, to take you behind the scenes and hear us talk about a mistake Brian (and I) made on YouTube and our decision to publish that cock-up to the world.
We also talk about feeling super vulnerable when you get hard-hitting comments and discuss the importance of remembering not to take things personally.

What romance looks like for us (*warning: contains WITHERED bits)
It's a Drama Podcast
Friday was a day of love and affection.
VD.
Not the down-below disease, the day. Of love. Valentines Day.
Rather than buy Bri some crappy scented candle and a bottle of cheap rum (that, more often than not, gets thrown into the pepper sauce come April), I tried something new.
I booked us a couples "experience".
We went last week.
Went and did it.
That's all I'm saying.
Enjoy.

info_outlineIt was my birthday, so I booked a surprise trip for me and Bri.
I googled New Zealand cheap accommodation. Best places to stay in New Zealand. Real New Zealand adventures.
Then I put in my whopping budget: $99 a night.
This is what we got. This is where we stayed.
Sit back, relax and listen to our experience of this insanely cheap Kiwi getaway.
And our fondue fiddles.
