Anger is a normal part of grief, but it doesn't have to become your entire personality. Liz shares actual strategies she implemented after losing her husband that she continues to use every day. 

Grief can be caused by so many life circumstances (death, divorce, job loss, a friend moving away, or simply something not going as planned). We cannot control how we the world treats us as a griever, but we can control how we respond to it.

You have the power to change your BINGO card.  Things are always going to happen that are out of your control, but you have the power to reshape and build your life.  We don’t rebuild our life after something earth shattering happens (like the death of a spouse, like Liz), but we build our new life based on the person we are now.  Embrace that the ‘old you’ may be gone, and that’s ok.  This talk shares how Liz went from being a full time nurse practitioner to a flower farmer and product based business coach after her husband unexpectedly passed away.

Key topics: grief, healing, motivational speaking

Essentially the “BINGO” card speech with a special emphasis on the security life insurance provided.  When Liz’s husband died, it was in the heat of Covid and the death certificate took over four months to arrive. That meant she could not apply for life insurance or start any of that process.  The bills started piling up, and the stress of that debt and managing bill collectors while grieving her husband’s death is an uncomfortable but important topic.  Once she was able to receive the benefits from the policies, that benefit that they never planned on using allowed her to heal while trying to build her new life after the old one crumbled.  A Testimony To The Benefits of Life Insurance.

Most of us have a voice inside our heads that whispers doubt, warning us of risks, urging us to play it safe. But what if we stopped letting fear be the loudest voice? What if we learned to tell the difference between wisdom and hesitation—between self-preservation and self-limitation?

After losing her husband unexpectedly, Liz’s entire perspective on life changed. Suddenly, the things she once feared—failure, rejection, taking risks—seemed so small in comparison. She began measuring everything against the worst thing that had already happened to her, and in doing so, she found the courage to step forward, to build something new, to live fully instead of just surviving.

In Flowers Bloom Anyway, Liz challenges audiences to rethink their own fears, to take bold steps even when they can’t quite see the landing, and to recognize that they only get one life—so they might as well live it. Through raw storytelling, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, she inspires listeners to stop waiting for perfect conditions and start growing exactly where they are.

Key Topics:
🌱 Confidence in uncertainty
🌱 Taking risks when the outcome isn’t guaranteed
🌱 Setting goals that actually matter
🌱 Letting go of fear and stepping into possibility

Whether you’re facing a major life transition or simply stuck in the cycle of waiting for the "right time," this talk is a powerful reminder: no matter what happens, you can bloom anyway.

Entrepreneurs are constantly told to “niche down.” Find one thing. Do it well. Stay in your lane. But what if niching down isn’t the only path to success? What if, instead of cutting away opportunities, you could build a business where every piece feeds the next—growing something bigger, stronger, and more sustainable?

Liz built Sunny Mary Meadow into a thriving business—not by limiting herself, but by strategically stacking multiple enterprises that support each other. Flower farming led to weddings. Weddings led to events. Events led to speaking. Speaking led to coaching. Each branch of her business fertilizes the others, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem where nothing is wasted. And most importantly, she eliminated anything that was a cannibal business offering—things that drained resources without adding to the bigger picture.

In The Fertilizer Framework, Liz makes a case for entrepreneurs who feel like they’re doing “too much”—but don’t want to cut back. She shares how to shift from feeling scattered to feeling strategic, using a framework that helps you:

🌱 Identify which parts of your business feed the others and which drain you dry
🌱 Stack opportunities instead of eliminating them
🌱 Shift from reactive decisions to intentional growth
🌱 Build a business that grows sustainably without burning yourself out

If you've ever been told you're trying to do too much—or if you know you’re doing too much but don’t know how to fix it—this talk is for you. Learn how to create a business model that works together, so you can grow without constantly starting from scratch.

“What do you do for a living?”

For most people, it’s an easy question. For Liz? Not so much. Nurse practitioner. Flower farmer. Business coach. Keynote speaker. Podcast host. Author. Mom. Remarried widow. Entrepreneur. The list goes on.

The world likes to put people into neat little boxes—healthcare, agriculture, business, social media, creative work. But what if you don’t fit into just one? What if your path doesn’t look like anyone else’s? What if the “table” you want to sit at doesn’t have a chair for you?

In Sitting at My Own Table, Liz shares her journey of building a life and career that didn’t conform to anyone else’s expectations. Through personal stories, humor, and hard-earned wisdom, she encourages young people to stop waiting for permission, stop trying to fit into pre-made molds, and start creating opportunities for themselves.

This talk is for anyone who feels stuck—whether it’s in choosing a career, taking a risk, or feeling like they don’t belong anywhere in particular. Liz helps audiences see that you don’t have to wait for a seat at someone else’s table when you can build your own.

Key Topics:
✨ Confidence in forging your own path
✨ Self-love and embracing individuality
✨ Goal setting based on your values—not expectations

For younger audiences still figuring out their place in the world, this message is a powerful reminder: You don’t have to follow someone else’s blueprint. You get to design a life that’s uniquely yours.
