    So fun to have this pop up in my feed. I just discovered Elizabeth’s channel last week, from Nicki Positano’s you tube. I love Nicki and Carlo. I was blessed to visit an expat in Naples back in 2015, my friend and I then traveled to the Amalfi Coast. We didn’t venture north to Positano, but spent 3 glorious days around d Amalfi. It was so beautiful and one of my best vacations ever. I love the beach clubs with the rented chairs and must say the limoncello tradition after each meal is fabulous!

When she talked about the move to a new country and family it was so beautifully worded. I moved 11,000 miles to be with my husband and my "Family" are all friends too. Any move is what you make of it and good friends make it easier to settle within a new community.

    I thought Elizabeth looked familiar and realized I saw her on Nikki’s channel. It’s so heartwarming to see that she moved to Italy for love. That’s huge leaving your own country, family, comfort zone, etc. Her girls are adorable! Having a business together has its challenges and I’m so glad Elizabeth decided to cut back to be with her daughters. When we had our first child…I wanted to be a stay at home mom, but we couldn’t afford that. My husband wanted me to work full time. I was like…no…not happening, especially since I wanted to be with my baby. So we compromised…I worked 3 days and was home 2 days. This was the perfect solution for us. It’s all about balance. And I also agree that on one hand the pandemic was horrible; however, it made families reconnect in many ways. My family stated eating dinner together on our patio every night and talking. It was a long time since we had done that due to schedules, etc. The Amalfi coast is beautiful!!! Hopefully tourism is picking up and businesses are doing better. 💜🙏

    I really enjoyed listening to Elisabeth talk about her life in positano and the lovely healthy nature filled surroundings her two lovely little girls enjoy. No phones, or TV to program their developing minds. And at the end I thought children's book series! All about two little girls on the side of the hill in positano feeding their animals, planting their own food, adventures on the beach, out 9n the boats etc with no phones plenty of time for creativity and imagination! Now I don't know how this process works but already you'd be able to do many languages and show children across the world healthier more natural ways of growing up! And show parents too of course.

    Wow!! What a great interview!! Wow Elisabeth such a wonderful extremely intelligent human being. Compassionate with so much human kindness. I have never heard her whinge, like so many do especially complaining about crowds in Positano. If there were no tourists how would the locals live. You can’t just spend your time just planting & growing & tending animals. What would business minded people do or earn their livelihood? Positano is such a beautiful place, well the whole of the Amalfi coast is gorgeous. The locals should be proud that people from other countries love to experience the beauty. Elisabeth’s value on family life really makes one think that we need to stop & take stock & realise what is important. Elisabeth you are blessed because you are a very positive, kind human being. It helps also having a wonderful loving spouse. God bless this lovely family. Thank you for this interview.
