Is this NORMAL? What I wish I'd known about Grief
July 06, 2024 03:57 - 24 minutes - 46.2 MBSign up for Liz's Five Letters here. Be the help you needed. That's always been my motto. My blueprint. My words-in-guiding-armour that help me forward whenever I feel stuck. Especiaslly in these terrifying times of deep grief when I hesitate to share my sadness and struggles for fear of losing subscribers or upsetting those here for the laughs. But. What I have today has to be shared. It has to be. Last week I experienced panic and hope in a way that I never expected. Or knew ho...
Can I stay home forever? Braving normal life while GRIEVING
June 14, 2024 07:39 - 56 minutes - 106 MBIt's the first time in eight weeks I've left the house. Apart from getting groceries, walking in nature, and spending an hour or two working at our local cafe, my safe place to grieve has been at home. Alone. In this episode, we wanted to share our first overnight trip away since losing Mum. We went to see our son, Sonny, in Hamilton, New Zealand. In the real world. Filled with grief but determined to do something normal, this is what the experience looked like. Thank you for list...
Grief. It looks like this (but feels like that)
June 07, 2024 05:02 - 1 hour - 76.1 MBLately, when I drop into bed at night, I find myself asking how on earth I got through the last twelve hours. Quite often, I don't remember what I did or half of what I said. Yet, if you passed me in the street, you'd think I was a normal, everyday person going about her day, coping. Doing grown-up stuff. Making videos. Living without a mum. This episode was inspired by you. It is made in recognition of all those who have reached out to me, people who have shown their love and support ...
Is This Grief or Depression (and why does no one warn you?)
May 30, 2024 03:07 - 47 minutes - 54 MBWe weren't going to release this podcast episode. The original plan was to discuss whether, after losing her mum to cancer six weeks ago, the deep sadness Liz is feeling is normal grief (as one would expect) or a worryingly worsening depression. And while that's what we did end up discussing, the route we took to arrive at the conclusion was different to what we anticipated. We were ready to scrap the episode and start again. But. We changed our mind. On reflection (and a large red...
Goodbye. For now
May 21, 2024 04:03 - 18 minutes - 20.9 MBNo description. No words. Just a story. And a thank you. A huge, huge thank you. Thank you for allowing me to share the intimate details of such a sad and heartbreaking time. And for confirming that no matter who we are, where we live, what we look like, or how we spend our days: Our hearts beat as one. And now, a tribute to the woman who made it all seem so very easy. I love you. Liz x
Unexpected Respite
April 16, 2024 03:19 - 32 minutes - 37.3 MBWrong. Wrong. And wrong again. You'd think that I'd have learned by now. I've had fifty-three years to practice, after all. But no. Still, I make the mistake of thinking that to make things 'better' and 'easier', I must look outside of myself. Go far afield. Spend a ton of money and wrap my mum and me up in cashmere rugs, then sit alongside Rose and Kathy Bates in first class on the Titanic. Way off, Liz. Not even close. This week's podcast update is brought to you with love, ten...
Say it. While you still can
April 02, 2024 04:26 - 34 minutes - 39.7 MBThis was one of the hardest podcast episodes I have ever recorded. But it was necessary. I won't watch the recording back because I know for a fact that I'll get cold feet and tell Bri to delete it. So. I hope it's okay and that it isn't too upsetting for you—my sincere apologies if it is. My intention was never to make you feel sad, only strong. Hugged. Confident. Brave enough to speak your truth. To always say what you wish to say to the people who matter the most. Because the world ...

Braving Alternative Therapy. Torture or Bliss?

Sit back, nod, relate, and giggle while the couple talks about whacky stress relief, disastrous Greek hotels, and listener holiday laments. Enjoy! We want to hear from you! Drop us a comment b...

January 22, 2024 03:38 - 58 minutes - 67.4 MBI don't know about you, but I get the feeling that people are ready for a change. I'm not sure what that collective "change" is, but I know there is one. I can feel it. Deep in my bones. Under the bits of orangey, saggy flesh. In this week's podcast, as well as bringing you bang up-to-date with what's been going on in the the world of La Deacles, we wanted to share a few personal "ins". Ins for 2024.

Gatecrashers, royalty & deranged morning routines
November 28, 2023 05:41 - 45 minutes - 52.2 MBLiz and Brian’s morning routine has changed drastically. Just when they thought they’d discovered a nice quiet hidey-hole to indulge in some golfy meditation, a bunch of rude gatecrashers (and a soggy beast) forced Liz to act quite strangely. Talking of strange… In this weeks husband and wife we discuss the glorious habits of the Queen’s alkie sister, why Brian feels inferior to a hunk who never sleeps and what on earth we will tell our 19-year-old daughter, Tess when she comes home for ...

Unwanted News
November 03, 2023 05:34 - 53 minutes - 60.9 MBIn the five years that this podcast has been going, this week's episode was the hardest one to record. For those who have been with us for a while, you will know we try our hardest to promote honesty and transparency. We like to keep it real. Sometimes (for those who have read my book) maybe a little too real. I'm not one for tricking people. Making things look better than they are. So, as hard as it was to make this episode, it was necessary. You see, we are the same, you and me. We l...
Wet Behind The Ears
October 21, 2023 01:10 - 1 hour - 83 MBLooking back, I was so wet behind the ears I'm surprised I didn't drown. Two years ago, I announced to the world that I would be writing, publishing and marketing my first-ever book with no clue what lay ahead. Ahh...isn't ignorance bliss... But as challenging as it has been, writing and publishing my book is STILL the best thing I have ever done. In this week's special edition podcast, Brian and I are celebrating something we have been working on for months: the AUDIOBOOK of the Tr...

How's Life Alone? Tessa. (Behind The Scenes)

Since her last visit, she has flown the nest to start a new life alone in the capital city of New Zealand, Wellington.

But before they reveal where they are going, they want to tell you all about the loneliest place in America, the twee-est town in China, and the smelliest place in Australia.

All Down Hill from Here
August 16, 2023 05:40 - 49 minutes - 57 MBIs there anything more attractive than seeing a man swinging from a ceiling bar with one hand, wearing only his underpants?

Escaping to Wellington. But at what cost?
June 28, 2023 05:44 - 43 minutes - 49.8 MBBrian and Liz are knackered. Whacked. They need a weekend away. Escape for a few days. The trouble is, accommodation in New Zealand is not cheap...in fact, it's costly. And there's no way they can sleep on their daughter's couch. Not when she lives in a penthouse with drafty windows...

We visited almost thirty countries, including Japan, India, Sri Lanka, America, Vietnam, Thailand, Hong Kong and many countries in Europe. Our budget was 100 NZD (approx $70) a day. Because we were visiting places we had never been to before, we made sure to do plenty of research beforehand. Sadly, lots (most...
Book cover FEAR! Behind the scenes

It is made up of hilarious short stories of what it was REALLY like to travel the world with two phone-addicted teenagers and a husband with an acid reflux problem…That book is my baby. Real. Raw. Honest. Funny and tender. The biggest fear that I had to overcome when going ahead with this book (I self-published) was the book cover. I knew what I wanted, and let's just...

Seen, heard and a (tiny bit) pis*ed
March 28, 2023 02:14 - 50 minutes - 58 MBYou'd think after practicing for almost twenty-two years, me and Bri would have this parenting lark off to a tee by now. But no. Once again, here we are asking if anyone else finds this tremendously-rewarding-but-hardy-pardy-pig-in-a-pokie-head-buttingly-difficult thing hard to navigate. Blub, slurp, burp. Well? Do you? We've had a right old weekend, me and Bri. What should have been a celebration ended up being a bit of a three-way counseling session. The only positive was there was...

Gosh. Is This Too Graphic??
February 24, 2023 05:40 - 49 minutes - 56.2 MBWe need your help. Or at least one of us does. As you may remember, Liz's book is currently with the editor. The nice one with the blonde hair. Last week the editor sent back the first two chapters. Full of edits. These edits were accompanied by an email that said, "these edits are suggestions. This is your book. You get to say what stays or goes". I told you she was nice. The trouble is, there's a problem. A big problem. Something that Liz never anticipated when she so cockily empl...

Brian and I will officially be empty nesters. Regular listeners to our podcast will know the effect this huge transition has had on us. Especially me. These past few months have been tough. I always imagined that when the time came for my kids to leave home, I would be this super ...
What a Bummer
February 01, 2023 02:20 - 1 hour - 69.3 MBBummer: Noun. 1. An unpleasant situation. 2. A Traveler. 3. A motherless calf. 4. A fouler. We make lots of bloopers on this podcast. Say embarrassing things that make the other person's jaw drop. Sometimes we edit these blunders out, but most of the time, we leave them in. I'd like to tell you that this is because we are transparent and real. Authentic and vulnerable. But the truth is, we're lazy. Editing takes ages. Hours, sometimes. There's no WAY Bri can spend that much time fine-tun...

Thank you for creating a space where we feel safe enough (and brave enough) to share t...
Family Time. Perfect Peace or (Mega) Pressure??
December 29, 2022 23:12 - 51 minutes - 59.4 MBEvery year is the same. October rolls around, and, without fail, the same futile conversation takes place. "Let's make a pact!" Me and Bri say cheerfully as we slurp on our pumpkin soup, "This Christmas, we will... Not go overboard on presents. After all, the holiday season is about being together, not scanning the presents like scavvy vultures to see who's spent the most. Hurray! Keep the meal nice and simple. No foo-fah for us. Turn off all devices. We will play board games and ta...
The Ghost of Brian's Past...
December 21, 2022 04:01 - 40 minutes - 46.3 MBFor years, Brian and I have disagreed over what Christmas morning should look like. What traditions we should pass down to our young children. Presents wrapped or unwrapped? Gifts given or hidden? Tree artificial or real? Mummy sloshed or sober? Decisions, decisions... In this week's Christmas special, we let three ghosts out of the bag...Take a skeleton out of the closet and treat you to a third reading of Liz's book. This is a snippet from Chapter one, where Liz introduces you to her ...
A Ruthless Response
December 06, 2022 02:48 - 49 minutes - 56.6 MBI'm still trying to figure out if telling someone that they'll never amount to anything makes them stronger and more determined, like a lioness on rollerskates or defeated and beaten. Like a tired old bow-wow. This week Liz was picked to pieces by someone she respected. And it hurt. This post may contain affiliate links. They cost you nothing, but we make a small commission.
