It's a Drama PodcastThis is What Happens When You Give Yourself TimeWhat would you do with a million dollars? Brian would buy a car. Liz would build a writing retreat. Welcome to marriage. In this episode, Brian and I chat about money, marriage tiffs, and why giving yourself time — real, uninterrupted, guilt-free time — can change everything. We talk about our last precious days in Greece (and why we never want this spell to end), the joy of being unapologetically self-indulgent, supporting adult kids while still carving out a life of your own, and what “being time-rich” really means. Thank you for subscribing and taking t...2025-08-111h 00It's a Drama PodcastWhen will you see yourself as others do?We thought this week's "outside the comfort zone" podcast episode would be about memory and how you perceive yourself, but it turned out to be so much more than that. In this week's podcast by the sea, you can expect to hear how Liz struggles with her son confessing to wanting to be a millionaire, how the couple are navigating life as they spend 24 hours a day together with a family of four in an apartment in Greece, and why we struggle to see ourselves as others do.

Not what I expected (at all)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...2025-07-131h 45It's a Drama PodcastI lost her then i lost me. An raw conversation about grief, loss, and the fear of becoming someone newWhat if the hardest part of being real… is letting people see it? We almost didn’t record this. The voice in my head said: Don’t show too much. Don’t be too much. But I’m tired of that voice. Tired of searching for safety instead of being it.

This week we're sharing the story of Brian’s recent (and very excitingly epic) Norway road trip — a bucketlist journey to the very tippy top of Norway to spend time with his two favourite people and witness the midnight sun. Along with our son (Sonny) and his brother (Dave), Brian has just driven thousands of kilometres, slept in beds around the country, and let the road lead him through some of the most remote, breathtaking landscapes in the world.

It's a Drama PodcastWhat romance looks like for us (*warning: contains WITHERED bits)Friday was a day of love and affection. VD. Not the down-below disease, the day. Of love. Valentines Day. Rather than buy Bri some crappy scented candle and a bottle of cheap rum (that, more often than not, gets thrown into the pepper sauce come April), I tried something new. I booked us a couples "experience". We went last week. Went and did it. That's all I'm saying. Enjoy. xx Podcast Show Page: Click Here 2025-03-0335 min
