Episode 8
Life in the fitness industry has left the Nicholls running on empty. Paul believes a move to Auckland, New Zealand will give them the family time they are missing
Running three fitness businesses has left Paul and Tracey Nicholls struggling to combine work with bringing up three young children. Desperate to escape the relentless routine, Paul believes moving to New Zealand would give the whole family a more relaxed pace of life and the opportunity to enjoy a healthier, outdoors lifestyle.
Tracey agrees she and Paul need to address their work-life balance, but the thought of starting again in a country neither of them have ever visited is a daunting prospect. Extremely close to her parents, she struggles with the thought of leaving them behind and feels guilty at the prospect of taking the children away from doting grandparents. But having fought his way back to health following a motorbike accident eight years ago, Paul is determined to get the most from life and won't give up his dream of relocating to the other side of the world without a fight.
A trial week in Auckland gives the family an opportunity to experience the reality of life down under. Will Paul and Tracey be in agreement about where their future lies, come the end of it?
