    We're in Fiji (and it's NOT what we thought)

    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. If you'd like to watch this podcast on video, you can do that on Spotify.  Enjoy!

    Liz Meets Her Hero Author. Here's What Happened

    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!

    The Book I'm Scared to Write 

    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.

    Having a Public Panic Attack

    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. I didn't have a clue what was happening.

    Tears in the Toilet. Returning to New Zealand

    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!

    Losing it (all) in Thailand

    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! Liz and Brian x   Sign up for Liz's FREE email newsletter.
