It's a Drama Podcast

A friend reached out asking for advice. I suggested she do what makes her happy. She replied, I don't think I've ever done that.  At first, I was shocked. Imagine that, I thought. How sad. Then, 9 seconds passed, and I realised I'm exactly the same. Worse actually. I've become a person who is scared and anxious to do what makes me happy. I need a million reassurances, soothing words, and pats on t...

It takes quite a lot to confuse us (well, not really), but Québec in Canada has managed to do just that. Today we talk about kissing, old ladies' skin, toilet signs, bad dogs, and Brian's hatred for trucks, plus some other stuff we just can't figure out... Enjoy and Au revoir, les amis ❤️🇨🇦 Thank you for being with us 🇨🇦❤️ If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend who would enjoy...

We are back in Canada, in a province we've never been to...one that has to be seen to be believed. Today we talk about being in the middle of nowhere with three young adults, language barriers, why Liz is walking to relax and get fit, and the 'new trend' (even though it's probably years old and we're just behind the times), gym etiquette , where posing and grunting is just NOT acceptable... Pity....

We left England 17 years ago to start a new life in New Zealand. Being British, we told ourselves that if anything went wrong, we could "always come back". But today, we're questioning if that would be an option.   Thank you for being here and for sharing this episode with someone who'd love it, too. Also, if you have a minute, we would love it if you'd hit the star button and rate the show. Ratin...

A year ago, I was terrified of being alone. When we started this year-long nomadic healing journey, I was convinced that if I let my family out of my sight, something terrible would happen to them; that they'd all die, and I'd be left with no one. This was all part of grief. I know that now. But it affected not just me but also Brian and the kids. Now, fifteen months into our journey, we share wha...

We've been living as a family (husband, wife + young adult kids) on the Greek island of Paros for 3 months. The Greece vacation feel has worn off, and now it's just us. Dealing with stuff. Looking at the bins. Because we love you, we thought we'd share that reality (and reveal where we're off to next...Hurray!) Thank you for being here, for sharing this episode with someone who'd love it too, and...

❤️ Suffering from loss? I see you. Liz's new book is here This is one of those episodes where we need courage (or a stiff drink) to press publish. Today, Liz and Brian, husband and wife, are talking about the struggles of nomadic life. The challenges they're both facing when it comes to travelling full-time with a family, and what happens when you try to juggle everything, everyone and everything...

Find Brian's  Toolbox Meetings Here  ➡️  There are some things that you'll only ever experience in Greece, and today we want to share those endearing little oddities with you. Including the way police deal with baddies, getting up your nose stuff, ordering food in Greek restaurants, buying from butchers, and Bri's new friend. That is. But isn't. But who should be. 📍Remember, if you would like to...

Find Brian's Toolbox Meetings Here  ➡️  We've been living as a family on the Greek Island of Paros for six weeks. Not much has happened. Life has been pretty drama-free. Until last night.

Interested in Brian's Mastermind Group ➡️ brian@itsadrama.com We're still in Paros, Greece. When we arrived on this Greek island six weeks ago, Brian was a little broken. Both physically and mentally. He couldn't even lift a coffee cup. An injury that started in Canada took his strength and confidence, leaving him in quite a dark place. Today, we want to share a few changes we've implemented that...

We've been coming to the Greek island of Paros for over 30 years. We thought we knew it inside out. We were wrong. In this episode, we uncover something that was hidden in plain sight...right under our noses all along. A secret about Greece that completely shifts how we see the place we love. We also share a deeply personal announcement. Something that has naturally revealed itself to us. Somethin...

Brian and Liz are back in Chiang Mai, Thailand, for the fourth time. Why do they keep coming back? Because it seals their empty gaps. Fills their tired tanks. Because they feel like emotionally intelligent adults. A grown-up husband and wife couple instead of silly old mum and dad who are old and decrepit and know nothing but still have to pay for everything anyway. If ever you are in need of some...

Brian and Liz, are back in New Zealand. They have rented their rural lifestyle property for another year so they can continue their nomadic lifestyle around the world. The new tenants take over in ten days. But before this can happen, there are many, many, many (tons actually) of things to attend to. Both in and out of the house. Ten hard, sloggy emotional days later, we are on our way back to the...

We're in London. Where our 21-year-old daughter (now) desperately wants to live. I can relate. 30 years ago, two Cornish country bumpkins (Brian and I) moved to London from the south of England. We lasted 6 months before leaving.  Now, our British/Kiwi daughter has decided to do the same. She wants to stop travelling full-time with her family and live in London on her own. So we are here to settle...

Brian and Liz, husband and wife, have rented their New Zealand home for another year so they can continue their nomadic lifestyle around the world. Last week, we shared an awkward (but real) conversation about our conflicting opinions on whether we should return home to New Zealand to do the handover. We finally reached a decision, and today we want to share it with you. With all our love and grat...

We held off sharing this episode. It's one of those uncomfortable (but real) conversations that married couples have when they need to get something sorted, but they can't seem to agree. These conversations usually happen in private. But. We strive to keep things real and remain honest with you on this podcast. So here we are. Awkwardness and all. Thank you for being part of this community. Of thi...

Parenting kids in their twenties is wonderful, daunting, fabulous, worrying, easy, really, really hard, joyful, exhausting, confusing, a privilege, expensive, ageing and a joy.  We have been travelling the world as a family for a year. Next month, our kids will go their separate ways. Sonny will go to America, and Tess will live in London. Last night, we had a task. To go out for the night and tal...

We're bringing you this podcast episode from a frozen lake in the Canadian Rockies. British Columbia, Canada. Something happened last week that floored us. Literally.

Last week, we received a comment on the podcast that said, "We would love to do what you are doing, but it seems too risky ". In today's episode, we would like to address that comment and share a few life lessons grief has taught us. We would like to pass on the reason we travel the world, (even though we still have a big mortgage).  This is why we do what we do. This is how we do it. We hope our...
