Struggling

Author: Liz Deacle and Brian Deacle January 10, 2023 Duration: 1:09:45

We desperately wanted to bring you an upbeat, humorous podcast to kick the year off, but sometimes life just doesn't turn out that way.

So you are getting the alternative. The real stuff.  A conversation between a husband and wife trying to navigate life. 

You are also getting PART 3 from the first chapter in Liz's upcoming book (which I still can't think of a title for?!). 

Thank you for being here. Thank you for creating a space where we feel safe enough (and brave enough) to share the things that others might hide.

Thank you.

Liz's Book Update

The manuscript is currently with the editor. I need to get a cover design, think of a title and then... voila! It should be ready to release in March! Keep listening for more sneaky peaks, and I will let you know when you are able to pre-order!
Remember, you can email me at liz@itsadrama.com if you would like to know more about the book.

We LOVE Housesitting. Want to Try it too? 

If you have been following this podcast for a while, then you will know that we have just returned for six months in Europe and Asia. While we were there, we did a lot of housesitting. We are constantly asked how we did this and if we can share the website that we used. So here it is:

The initial 'looking part' is free. You can oggle all of the beautiful houses around the world that are waiting for YOU to look after them. Take a sneak peek here! (As I say, looking is completely free, so gander to your heart's content).

Then, if you are serious about using Housesitting as a tool to travel the world for free (as we do), then sign up to Trusted Housesitters HERE and use Code: SITTERLIZ to get your 20% discount!

Still not sure about paying for a Housesitting membership? Remember that the cost of a yearly membership (approx $80 using the discount code above) will be paid back (and more) on the first housesitting night. It really is that simple!

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.
