Owning Your Mistakes

Owning Your Mistakes

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle March 10, 2025 Duration: 1:03:42

Ready to feel uncomfortable?

This walking podcast is a taste of the content we publish to our Patreon supporters. We wanted to share it with you, too, to take you behind the scenes and hear us talk about a mistake Brian (and I) made on YouTube and our decision to publish that cock-up to the world.

We also talk about feeling super vulnerable when you get hard-hitting comments and discuss the importance of remembering not to take things personally.

Let us know what you think in the comments!

Kia Kaha,

Liz and Brian x

A couple who have two adult kids that still live at home.

But that's okay.

Honest.

You might think from the title It's a Drama Podcast that you're in for some heavy theatrics, but it's actually the opposite. Hosted by world traveller and best-selling comedy author Liz Deacle alongside her husband Brian, this is a space for the gloriously unfiltered and often hilarious conversations that happen between two people sharing a life and a suitcase. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair at their kitchen table, where the topics roam freely from travel mishaps and cultural observations to the everyday dramas of family, food, and navigating the second half of life with a sense of humor. Liz and Brian’s candid dynamic is the heart of the podcast, offering a blend of laughter and genuine honesty that makes the personal feel universal. You’ll find yourself in the middle of stories that are both frank and funny, often accompanied by the clink of a wine glass and the admission that adulthood isn't always a dignified affair. It’s less about destination and more about the messy, joyful, and relatable journey, making this a uniquely comforting listen for anyone who appreciates real conversation served with a generous side of comedy.
