After 16 years of living abroad in New Zealand, husband and wife Liz and Brian returned to their home country, England, UK, for a four-month stay.

Liz and Brian also reveal where they are heading next on their year-long world trip, including how they are affording to pay for this mammoth trip...

After 16 years away, husband and wife Liz and Brian have returned to old Blighty, England, for a three-month stay.
Today, the couple reveal a few home truths, including misconceptions about England, how Britain compares to New Zealand, an in-your-face struggle they encountered at a café, and what they think will happen if their young adult children decide not to come home to New Zealand.
We know you'll love this episode.
At the end of this week's podcast, Liz also shares another reading from her soon-to-be-released book on grief, loss and healing. If you are struggling with any kind of loss, this book will help you. I will let you know as soon as it is available.
Until then, know that our hearts beat with yours, and remember.
There is so much you know.
Kia Kaha,
Liz and Brian x

Sometimes you just have to let it go. Even if it hurts your pride. Even if you're scared people will judge you. Even if it did cost over a grand.
This week, join husband-and-wife podcasters Liz and Brian as they take you on a stroll through the English countryside and share three tough decisions they've made during their nomadic year of travel; how the UK is presenting them with challenges, and why they love each other more than ever. At the end of the podcast.
Liz also shares another reading from her soon-to-be-released book on grief, loss and healing. If you are struggling with loss of any kind, my book will help you. I will let you know as soon as it is available. Until then, know that my heart beats with yours. You are not alone. You are loved

Has anyone REALLY got their life together? Got it all sorted? We've been married for twenty-five years, and I know we haven't.
This week, husband and wife Brian and Liz feel unsettled. As they walk the canals of Bath, they get real and honest about feeling uncertain about the future and share the times they've felt completely lost on their year-long nomadic family journey.
If you've ever felt like everyone else has their life together and you don't then you will love this epiosde.
Get ready to hear four vulnerable stories: the panic of being asked to attend a local social gathering (where they purposely lied and tied themselves in knots), the worry that ruins a beautiful trip, the fear of admitting "I don't know" to their own kids, and the small rituals they cling to when life feels uncertain.
Listen to this episode if you want to know:
-
How to handle questions from strangers about your life when you haven't got a clue what you're even doing
-
How to talk to your adult kids about financial struggles (AKA: NO. We can't afford it)
-
Morning routine for when you feel anxious
- Us having abuse hurled at us by some random strangers on the Tow Path (see if you spot it...)
Thank you, as always, for being here with us. You are what makes this podcast so special.
My heart beats with yours.
Kia Kaha.
