Living in Greece has changed a few things 07/10/2026

Living in Greece has changed a few things Find Brian's We're still in Paros, Greece. When we arrived on this Greek island six weeks ago, Brian was a little broken. Both physically and mentally.

Today, we want to share a few changes we've implemented that have made a huge difference to both our mental and physical health. In this episode, we talk about: 62-year-old Brian's injury journey and how he plucked up the courage and strength to return to the macho gym. What it's like living with two young adult kids (and a girlfriend) in a Greek house The mindset shift around cleaning that changed everything Plus, Brian shares something he's been working on (and we've got more to come) Thank you for being here, for leaving a comment on wherever you listen and for being you.

Thailand. Why we keep Coming Back 06/05/2026

Thailand. Why we keep Coming Back Brian and Liz are back in Chiang Mai, Thailand, for the fourth time. Why do they keep coming back? Because it seals their empty gaps. Fills their tired tanks. Because they feel like emotionally intelligent adults. A grown-up husband and wife couple instead of silly old mum and dad who are old and decrepit and know nothing but still have to pay for everything anyway. If ever you are in need of some you time, Thailand is the place. Here’s why.

Back in New Zealand. To face the Music. 05/22/2026

Back in New Zealand. To face the Music. Brian and Liz, are back in New Zealand. They have rented their rural lifestyle property for another year so they can continue their nomadic lifestyle around the world. The new tenants take over in ten days. But before this can happen, there are many, many, many (tons actually) of things to attend to. Both in and out of the house. Ten hard, sloggy emotional days later, we are on our way back to the airport to fly away from NZ. But we couldn’t possibly leave without sharing exactly what the experience has been like. So we pulled over to record this podcast. It’s a bit weird. It’s dark, and we can hardly stay awake. But we’re here. Just about. This is what it looks like when you have an effing huge mountain to climb and rely on the endless love and support you have for each other.

Leave our 21 yr old daughter here? London's not what we expected We're in London. Where our 21-year-old daughter (now) desperately wants to live.

Parenting Young Adult Kids: Here's What Happened Last Night Parenting kids in their twenties is wonderful, daunting, fabulous, worrying, easy, really, really hard, joyful, exhausting, confusing, a privilege, expensive, ageing and a joy. We have been travelling the world as a family for a year. Next month, our kids will go their separate ways. Sonny will go to America, and Tess will live in London. Last night, we had a task. To go out for the night and talk to our kids separately. To find out what's going on and ask how they feel. Our results were poles apart. Here's what happened. We love you.

When you just don't have it all together 10/16/2025

When you just don't have it all together Has anyone REALLY got their life together? Got it all sorted? We've been married for twenty-five years, and I know we haven't. This week, husband and wife Brian and Liz feel unsettled. As they walk the canals of Bath, they get real and honest about feeling uncertain about the future and share the times they've felt completely lost on their year-long nomadic family journey. If you've ever felt like everyone else has their life together and you don't then you will love this epiosde. Get ready to hear four vulnerable stories: the panic of being asked to attend a local social gathering (where they purposely lied and tied themselves in knots), the worry that ruins a beautiful trip, the fear of admitting "I don't know" to their own kids, and the small rituals they cling to when life feels uncertain. Listen to this episode if you want to know: How to handle questions from strangers about your life when you haven't got a clue what you're even doing How to talk to your adult kids about financial struggles (AKA: NO. We can't afford it) Morning routine for when you feel anxious Us having abuse hurled at us by some random strangers on the Tow Path (see if you spot it...)

A place won't make you happy 10/09/2025

A place won't make you happy it's what you do in that place that will... Feeling a little lost and wondering where "home" is, husband and wife Brian and Liz are back to take you along on a walking podcast, and this time, they've landed in a three-month rental just outside Bath. In this deeply personal conversation, Liz shares why the view of an ancient church from her window is helping her write the book on grief she was always meant to write, and Brian opens up about the simple things that make him happy. This is for anyone who has ever felt a little lost, is redefining "home" after a loss, or is simply wondering how to find pockets of light and purpose right where they are. We hope you enjoy this raw, real, and uplifting walk through the beautiful English countryside with us (and sorry in advance for needing a loo break and also the marriage spats as we go on our merry way...how embarrassing...??!!)

How Downton Abbey Saved Our Family (Our Hardest Location Podcast Yet) 09/24/2025

How Downton Abbey Saved Our Family (Our Hardest Location Podcast Yet) We recorded this week's marriage diary podcast on location under the famous Sycamore Tree in Bampton, the real village of Downton Abbey. But it was harder than we thought. Downton Abbey has become our family's anchor, so when we found ourselves in the UK close to the location where many of the show's outdoor scenes were filmed, we packed our microphones and set off to record a podcast. While we were talking about why this show has become a lifeline for both our marriage and our family, a coachload of tourists turned up. I've never felt so awkward and self-conscious in my life. But Brian refused to stop filming. So you will hear my awkwardness in all its glory... After a year of loss and leaving our home in New Zealand, Liz and Brian, husband and wife, have been living out of suitcases, feeling nomadic and uncertain. In this very raw episode, we talk about how binge-watching Downton Abbey has given our family a surprising sense of routine, safety, and connection as we travel the world and heal after loss. We also open up about the expat’s identity crisis, what it’s like to not know where "home" is, and pushing through the fear of being seen when you’re grieving. This is one of our most authentic and vulnerable conversations yet, and we hope you enjoy it. Thank you for joining us, you are what make this happen. Our hearts Liz and Brian xx Kia Kaha.

Where is Home? The Price You Pay For Living Nomadically (The Marriage Diaries) 09/15/2025

Where is Home? The Price You Pay For Living Nomadically (The Marriage Diaries) Feeling fragile and searching for an anchor, husband and wife, Brian and Liz, are back in England, trying to find a short-term rental in Bath. They tackle the scary financial reality of their married nomadic life and why they believe spending savings on making memories with their young adult kids is worth every penny. This is (once again) a deeply vulnerable episode, where Liz shares how a hurtful YouTube comment landed on the very day she was driving to see her brother for the first time since their dad's funeral, and in turn, sparks a crucial conversation about the real-world impact of our words online.

Back in England 48 Hours. Ripped Off Twice | Marriage Diaries 09/01/2025

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 PS: 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.

Greece Changed Us — Here’s Why We Don't Want to Leave 08/18/2025

Greece Changed Us — Here’s Why We Don't Want to Leave We've been MARRIED for thirty-odd years. 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 PS: If you haven't yet joined my inner circle of friends, my life-letter readers, please do.
