  • If you’re struggling with loss and want to feel better listen to this

    If you’re struggling with loss and want to feel better listen to this
    Jul 27 2025
    "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 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. I'd love to have you. Go here to join us. I was beating myself up pretty badly in last week's behind-the-scenes outdoor podcast episode. I was frustrated and hurting. The thing is, I miraculously managed to get to be fifty-three years old without ever losing anyone significant in my life, so last year, when I lost both parents within a matter of months, I felt like I'd been thrown into the deep end of the murky waters of grief. As you know, there is no handbook for how to grieve. No guide, no nothing. And I didn't know how to do it. So I did what we all do, the only thing I knew how to do. I wiped my tears, stopped talking about it publicly, felt embarrassed if someone saw me with a tear-stained face and kept myself REALLY busy to hide the fact that I felt broken, lost and sinking in sadness. In short, I did what I had been programmed to do. I got on with it. Hoped that it would all go away and never ever come back as long as I lived. But now here I am. Sixteen months later. On this year-long trip. And, for the first time since my mum and dad died, I have time. Too much time, probably. And when you have lots of time and nothing to distract you, the feelings and emotions that have been pushed down into your toes bubble to the surface. And the result is what you heard last week in this podcast. Shame. Embarrassment. Resentment. Anger. Lost. I am learning now (still learning) that this outburst, this wave of "I hate myself-ness", was a cry for help. Because, like many of us who are grieving in a world that is too busy to stop, I didn't give myself the proper time. Or attention. I didn't know that grief is not just a "one-time-never-comes-back-emotion". That it needs to be honoured. Talked through. Given space. And time. As much time as it takes. In this episode, Brian very patiently (god, I love this man) listens and advises while I remove the self-blame and shame veil. Remove it for all of us. This is what a healing journey looks like. This is grief. Showing up in the rawest, fullest, deepest, most desperately needing to be addressed kind of way. I hope you feel my love and know that my heart will always beat with yours.

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

    Mouth tape, money, and travelling with adult kids. An update from Greece
    Jul 21 2025

    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.

    Thank you so much for finding us and for staying around. If you enjoy the content and would like to support the show, please subscribe on your favourite platform.

  • 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)
    Jul 13 2025

    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.

    Liz and Brian x

    If you are going to Paris and intend to do far more sightseeing than I did, then do not hesitate to get the Go City Paris Pass. It'll save you a fortune in money and time in the long hot lines.

    We stayed in an Airbnb in Paris, but nine times out of ten, Brian and I house-sit.

    It has saved us approximately $30k in accommodation around Europe.
