    Episode 18: Fin

    We have reached the final chapter! Bear with us as we take up a little more time than usual in order to cover six years' worth of stories.  We cover Kieran's post married adventures, including new relationships in the post-marriage era. We also discuss Briar's move 'home' to New Zealand and the settling down process which followed. We also allow some time to reflect on this self-therapising process and what it has meant to us.

    The stage is set for the final moments in this particularly challenging chapter of Kieran's life. Be prepared for things to get a bit heavy as he shares a blow by blow account of how certain circumstances finally brought about an end to his relationship. He also discusses how his church journey simultaneously came to a sudden end.

    Episode 16: Purpose and distraction

    This week we begin to tackle a difficult and painful chapter in Kieran's story as we unpack the challenges of an unwinding relationship and his complete immersion in church related pursuits.  In quite the contrast, we also touch on Briar's new and happy chapter.  Other topics include some classic millennial whinging, home life distress, Godly callings, a new adventure, making unchurchy friends, and family trips.

Other topics include awkward family gifts, New York romps, cute online romances, family tragedies, reunions, church drama, and continuing home life challenges.

    Episode 13: Breaking point

    This episode plots the point where our paths once again converged in London, a time of extreme highs and lows. We are forced to confront old hurts never previously discussed, challenging the mantra that 'time heals all wounds'. We also dissect how we managed to navigate 'living the dream' whilst simultaneously living with the constant weight of unhappiness. We also chat childhood hobbies, hot/plastic models, penny hunting, cultural transitions, Anzac Day, being a mature student, London adventures, relationship strains and breakdowns, and other random musings.
