It's a Drama Podcast

Last month, I boldly said I wanted this family holiday to Canada to "fix" me. Fix was the wrong word. You can't fix grief. But what you can do is decide how you want to move forward with your life after such a massive loss. This episode is for you if you feel stuck, sad, helpless, desperate, scared of never being the person you once knew or all of the above. Our hope is this behind-the-scenes episode will bring you peace, hope, comfort and inspiration if you happen to be in the same dark place I was in before we left for this trip. Kia Kaha. Stay strong. Our hearts beat with yours - always. With love, Liz and Brian xx Podcast Show Page: ⁠Click Here⁠ Links mentioned in the show: 🎁 Want more exclusive, private, behind-the-scenes BONUS content?

This week, we are in Nelson, BC. And if that wasn't exciting enough, we are bringing you this podcast episode from the slopes of Whitewater Ski Resort! After a year of immense loss (Liz's parents passing within six months of each other and saying goodbye to our beloved family dog), the Deacle family re-grouped and set off for a month in British Columbia, Canada, in search of some much-needed family time, happiness, love, conversation, and togetherness. To make this possible, they are house-swapping. They have traded their Skoda and lovely one-level countryside home in Taranaki, New Zealand, with a family in Nelson, BC, and they now have THEIR car and THEIR beautiful Canadian wooden home in the mountains for a month. Did Canada deliver what Liz and Brian were looking for? Did Bri ever get to finish what he was saying? Why did Liz go up on the chairlift on her own and cry? And WHY aren't husbands born with psychic powers?? PS: Listen to the end to find out! LOVE YOU GUYS!! HAPPY 2025!! xx Links Mentioned in the show: - Currency card we use while travelling.

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. Liz and Brian x Visit the Show Page⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Here Links mentioned in the show: 🇳🇿 Remember!

So this is the BEST Island in Fiji? Today's episode is brought to you ON LOCATION. We are IN Fijji. 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.

I am a huge fan of this week's guest. Rachael Herron is a best-selling author who not only moved from the United States to New Zealand with her wife, but she then went on to write a book about it! I have followed Rachael for a long time. She has a fabulous podcast (link below) about writing, which has helped and inspired me, both in life and on my writing journey, and today, I got to chat with her about her big move down under! I know you are going to love Rachael as much as I do. It's impossible not to. She is frank and open and freely shares the obstacles she overcame when moving to New Zealand from America. Sit back and hear about Rachael's fears and dreams, about being an alcoholic, about meeting friends in New Zealand when you are an introvert, and much, much more. Enjoy!

Feeling is healing. I've read those words a lot while grieving my mum. And it's true; to a certain extent, it's true. But what people fail to mention is that feeling also hurts like hell. And no one likes to feel pain. Not if they can possibly avoid it. In this week's behind-the-scenes episode, we share a personal healing practice that Liz has undertaken to help navigate the grief around losing her mum. Writing. Liz is writing her second book, but what started as a happy, healing book about New Zealand has morphed into something quite different. An unexpected beast. Something that scares Liz to write and scares Brian to stand by and witness. Thank you for being with us and for listening. You are loved, you are needed, and our hearts always beat with yours.

What's happening? Why, when I was feeling fine, 'doing ok,' and 'coping', do I suddenly feel like I've been hit by a sledgehammer and fallen down a well of darkness? It's been almost five months since my mum passed. This is a behind-the-scenes podcast. One of those we never expected to record. But record we did. I've never had a public panic attack before.

Liz and Brian are back in New Zealand. They flew from Chiang Mai via Bangkok and China and, thirty hours later, were home in Taranaki, New Zealand. Tucked up in bed. But flying home to NZ didn't go smoothly. In fact, it was a sodding fiasco. What started as a dream-come-true-flight ended with wet knickers and tears. And not only that, the food on the plane was sh*t. Sit back and listen to the story of the return flight Enjoy!

Their bones have been pummeled, their teeth nicely drilled, and they have a ton of cash to spend in weird restaurants...

Combining much-needed dental work with a holiday, Liz and Brian left New Zealand and are in Thailand for a month. Brought to you from their bedroom in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand, they are ready to share the story of how they went from feeling utterly stressed and wound up like a screw to feeling chilled and relaxed and floppy like a pair of braless breasts. Find out what Liz and Brian are doing in Chiang Mai to relax, what happened at the airport, and why the smell of sandalwood might probably make Liz sick forever. Liz goes braless; Brian goes commando, and the taxi driver's wife goes without saying. Thank you for being with us in Thailand! Enjoy!

This week has been horrible, it really has. I'm sorry, but we have more sad news to share. Thank you for being here and letting us talk about it. We also share the difficulties of being able to rest. I for one, struggle to differentiate between work and rest, and as I made this episode, I realised that I might be using the excuse of "but I LOVE to create" to distract myself from grief. Either that or I'm a workaholic. The truth is, I'm scared of dropping the balls that I've spent years learning to juggle. If this sounds like you, I think you'll enjoy this episode. This is such a fascinating topic, and I intend to write about it in-depth (obviously not when I'm supposed to be resting with Brian...) for my private newsletter readers. You can sign up for that newsletter here. For now, please enjoy this episode and thank you again for being you. I love and appreciate you.

Sign up for Liz's FREE 5-day LETTERS. When we booked our month-long trip to Thailand back in May, it seemed like a grand idea. Get away. Change of scenery. Leave the kids. And now, when it's almost time to leave, we're having second thoughts. Or Liz is. In this week's episode, Liz and Brian chat about the realities of going overseas when one of you doesn't quite feel up to it. Fear, dread, excitement. Fear again. We're feeling the lot. We also discuss the effect of probably the best birthday present we have ever given our daughter and Liz's simple fix to one of her nagging microstresses. Enjoy!

Sign up for Liz's Five Letters here. Be the help you needed. That's always been my motto. My blueprint. My words-in-guiding-armour that help me forward whenever I feel stuck. Especiaslly in these terrifying times of deep grief when I hesitate to share my sadness and struggles for fear of losing subscribers or upsetting those here for the laughs. But. What I have today has to be shared. It has to be. Last week I experienced panic and hope in a way that I never expected. Or knew how to cope with. But I did cope...and by talking about these things I felt empowered and obliged to share. I wish I'd known about the physiological side of grief. I wish someone had warned me what it does to your brain. Your mood, your thoughts. I hope by sharing my experiences, I can be the help for you. Thank you for listening and watching. We love you. Arohanui Liz and Brian xx Links mentioned in the show: Liz's 5-Day Letters These five letters are from my personal journals. I wrote these five letters in the days and weeks after my Mum's passing. During the darkest and hardest of times. When I needed hope instead of gloom. Light in place of dark. Laughter instead of snot. When I needed my mum. I would love to share these letters with you in the hope they bring you the comfort, love and inspiration that they brought me. It is my honour to share them with you.

It's the first time in eight weeks I've left the house. Apart from getting groceries, walking in nature, and spending an hour or two working at our local cafe, my safe place to grieve has been at home. Alone. In this episode, we wanted to share our first overnight trip away since losing Mum. We went to see our son, Sonny, in Hamilton, New Zealand. In the real world. Filled with grief but determined to do something normal, this is what the experience looked like. Thank you for listening and watching. We love you.

Lately, when I drop into bed at night, I find myself asking how on earth I got through the last twelve hours. Quite often, I don't remember what I did or half of what I said. Yet, if you passed me in the street, you'd think I was a normal, everyday person going about her day, coping. Doing grown-up stuff. Making videos. Living without a mum. This episode was inspired by you. It is made in recognition of all those who have reached out to me, people who have shown their love and support and shared their grief journey stories. People who, from the outside, look happy and sorted and appear to have it all together. But, like me, they don't. Not always. And that's okay. As a good friend said to me, "Grief is a journey, not a destination". My friend, Brian and I are here today, so neither of us has to make that journey alone.

We weren't going to release this podcast episode. The original plan was to discuss whether, after losing her mum to cancer six weeks ago, the deep sadness Liz is feeling is normal grief (as one would expect) or a worryingly worsening depression. And while that's what we did end up discussing, the route we took to arrive at the conclusion was different to what we anticipated. We were ready to scrap the episode and start again. But. We changed our mind. On reflection (and a large red wine later), we agreed that these authentic, unscripted, messy conversations are often the most valuable. We certainly hope so. You are incredibly important and cherished by us both. If you are suffering in any way, please talk to a professional who can help. You are loved and you are not alone. Until next time. Kia kaha.

No description. No words. Just a story. And a thank you. A huge, huge thank you. Thank you for allowing me to share the intimate details of such a sad and heartbreaking time. And for confirming that no matter who we are, where we live, what we look like, or how we spend our days: Our hearts beat as one. And now, a tribute to the woman who made it all seem so very easy. I love you. Liz x

Wrong. Wrong. And wrong again. You'd think that I'd have learned by now. I've had fifty-three years to practice, after all. But no. Still, I make the mistake of thinking that to make things 'better' and 'easier', I must look outside of myself. Go far afield. Spend a ton of money and wrap my mum and me up in cashmere rugs, then sit alongside Rose and Kathy Bates in first class on the Titanic. Way off, Liz. Not even close. This week's podcast update is brought to you with love, tenderness and gratitude. And a few tears. We wanted to share three things that happened to us in the past few weeks. Small serenities that brought unexpected comfort and respite while we attempt to navigate the imminent loss of my lovely mum. Thank you for allowing us this safe space to share the intimate details of this challenging time in our lives. You are wonderful.

This was one of the hardest podcast episodes I have ever recorded. But it was necessary. I won't watch the recording back because I know for a fact that I'll get cold feet and tell Bri to delete it. So. I hope it's okay and that it isn't too upsetting for you—my sincere apologies if it is. My intention was never to make you feel sad, only strong. Hugged. Confident. Brave enough to speak your truth. To always say what you wish to say to the people who matter the most. Because the world needs truth. The world needs real. The world needs people like you.

Another behind-the-scenes podcast where Liz and Brian share their decision to discuss such personal details about their marriage and life in public (including talking about Liz's mum, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer). The couple talks about how their family is (trying) to navigate the "new normal", addressing guilt, wrestling with emotions and lastly, the importance of not assuming to know what others are thinking or feeling. You never know. Not ever. If you doubt this statement, just remember what I told you about the Spitfire. This podcast is my and Brian's outlet: our escape, our therapy. And we really, really hope it feels the same for you too. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us your ear and allowing us into your life each week to chat.

Yesterday, Liz experienced floatation therapy. Spent the day floating in a tank of salt water. Alone. No lights. No sounds. No Bri. This week, the couple discuss the experience and Brian voices his very strong opinions on 'Crotch Eye-balling' and other weird and wonderful alternative therapies.

Liz and Brian's morning routine has changed drastically. Just when they thought they'd discovered a nice quiet hidey-hole to indulge in some golfy meditation, a bunch of rude gatecrashers (and a soggy beast) forced Liz to act quite strangely. Talking of strange… In this weeks husband and wife we discuss the glorious habits of the Queen's alkie sister, why Brian feels inferior to a hunk who never sleeps and what on earth we will tell our 19-year-old daughter, Tess when she comes home for Christmas and is faced with a lucky bag.

In this week's episode, husband and wife Liz and Brian set out to discover if it is healthy for a couple to spill the beans about personal stuff online. Reveal all. Is it really necessary to wash those filthy sheets in public, or should 'things like that' be folded neatly into a square and rammed into the top drawer with the flowery hankies? Let's find out... While we're at it, you'll also hear about rabbits, breasts, and Michael's best friend, Viagra. Enjoy! Don't forget to leave us a review (PLEASE!!) and share this podcast with a friend!

In the five years that this podcast has been going, this week's episode was the hardest one to record. For those who have been with us for a while, you will know we try our hardest to promote honesty and transparency. We like to keep it real. Sometimes (for those who have read my book) maybe a little too real. I'm not one for tricking people. Making things look better than they are. So, as hard as it was to make this episode, it was necessary. You see, we are the same, you and me. We laugh at the same things, and we cry at the same things, too. And knowing that you are there for me and I for you makes us both feel stronger. Thank you for allowing me to lean on you this week.

You leave your home to go "away" for a few weeks and believe that everything will be Puuurfecct. You tell yourself you'll relax. Take massages. Eat out (without complaining). Wrong.

This week's episode is brought to you from the lovely and very gorgeous art deco city of Napier in New Zealand, where Liz and Bri are housesitting for five weeks in a rambling old villa perched high on a lofty hill. Ah...Life is perfect. Me and Bri, living like a Lord and Lady Muck in our ole kiwi manor house. What's not to love about that? Well...get yourself comfy, and we'll tell you... This Ole Kiwi House I don't know anyone who doesn't see a picture in a glossy house magazine of a rambling old villa and romanticize about living in it. I know I do. I see it all so perfectly. There's me, dressed in my floral frock, washing my dishes in the stone-fired, enamelled porcelain Belfast sink. Inhaling the wafts of wisteria that creep over the pretty glass paned windows... And there's Bri. Dripping snot from his left nostril.

This week's podcast is a behind-the-scenes chat with Liz and her daughter, Tessa. Tessa (19) is a regular guest on the podcast. Since her last visit, she has flown the nest to start a new life alone in the capital city of New Zealand, Wellington. As is often the case with life, things don't always turn out as we expect them to. We don't feel the way we anticipate. Life throws us challenges, and although they are necessary for us to grow, new experiences aren't always easy or pleasant. And that's why we wanted to share this conversation. I asked Tessa to come to the microphone and share what life has been like moving away and living alone for the first time. We know that many of you listening to this podcast have kids, and we hope by sharing what Tessa feels (and her experiences), you will resonate, and it will help in some small way. Sit back, pour yourself something nice and join this intimate conversation between mother and daughter. (Click the website link to see the photos. You can also leave a comment and say hi!)

Liz and Brian are off on a five-week holiday. Housesitting in New Zealand. But before they reveal where they are going, they want to tell you all about the loneliest place in America, the twee-est town in China, and the smelliest place in Australia.

Imagine living in a house with no walls. Where everything was upside down and shaped like a lav. Where spiders and snakes swam in puddles of rain under your bed. In this week's episode, we are talking houses. Not just shapes and sizes but the weird goings-on that takes place behind closed doors—or glass walls. Or mud roofs. Crikey. Get ready to hear all about Liz and Brian's failed attempt to find a holiday destination that ticked both their boxes, their need for separation and why a banging experience in the French Alpes left Brian feeling VERY insecure...
