A new online show –  Life with Liliana and Friends – looks at the highs and lows of working from home during this pandemic.

Founder and show host Liliana Warid said her heart was to build into others and share what she had learnt on her journey in the hope it would help someone else on theirs.

According to a statement with the recent impacts of the 1st and 2nd wave of the COVID-19 virus, its effects had been felt far and wide across the world, and since April 2021, devastatingly so, here in Fiji.

The effects of the virus were not limited to our health system and our socio-economic stability but it also placed a strain on our emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Ms Warid says between children having to adjust to the new education system through home-schooling, and with parents having to work from home, the challenges that it came with were foreign to most of us, and trying to navigate through this season was at times difficult.

With her show, Ms Warid was able to provide her family and friends with a platform to share their experiences and offer advice and lessons to those who faced similar struggles.

Ms Warid said after a year of sharing her experiences through bite-sized videos on Facebook, she realised she could build a following of people who could relate to those experiences and be able to use those lessons to benefit them.

“It wasn’t comfortable for me but I knew it would help so many others. My favourite thing is that I’m learning to quickly become comfortable in the uncomfortable. We often miss out on what life has to offer because we are too scared to take the next step,” she said.

“Working from Home’ was a struggle many people were facing collectively. It was clear that a vast majority of us were searching for effective and practical methods that we could apply to our daily lives specific to the diverse households that we have in Fiji.”

The show has just completed its first season, a series that aired on July 3 and has recently been in the spotlight on social media, bringing in attention and views.

According to Ms Warid, the series began with Moses and Cathy O’Connor who brought the perspective of a couple who normally worked from home, now having to share that space with three school-aged children.

Other guests on the show included The Miller Family – owners of a fitness company, Temesia Tuimaucia – an education specialist, as well as Melania Tora – Liliana’s daughter.

The most recent episode with Danielle Baber, wife of Fiji 7s coach, marked the end of season 1, an outstanding finale.

Ms Warid is already looking ahead to the next season with plans to expand on some of the insights that have piqued the interest of her viewers.

You can catch the new season of ‘Life with Liliana and Friends’ live shows on Facebook and Youtube from August 28, every Saturday at 6pm Fiji time.
