Live Your Best Life
Teach. Motivate. Inspire. These are the themes that run through my conversations with people who are living their best lives. Guests on “Live Your Best Life with Liz Brunner” are best-selling authors, international executives, public personalities, thought-leaders, health and fitness experts, award-winning chefs and role models who are recreating their lives in interesting, unique ways. They have taken all of their life experiences, the good and the bad, the successes and even the failures, and used that knowledge to not only create their "next chapters," but to inspire others as well. My grandmother was fond of saying, "no knowledge is ever wasted." It's so true. I have personally used all of my “knowledge” to "recreate" myself several times from High School music teacher, to working in retail, to a 28-year award-winning TV career, and now to entrepreneur. I call it "recreation" because to me it's about "connecting the dots" of all of our life experiences and skills, and using them to create our next chapter and to live our best, most authentic life. My guests are recreating their lives in interesting, unique ways. As an executive communications coach and motivational speaker, I not only work with Fortune 500 and C-suite executives on their communication/presentation skills, but I also help them learn the tools they need to become their best authentic selves and live their best lives.

Amelia Rose Earhart
Meet Amelia Rose Earhart, who, inspired by her namesake—and growing up believing she was related to the American hero—recreated her flight path, flying a single-engined plane around the world, but it was not without its turbulence.
“The only plane that never experiences turbulence is the one that stays locked up in a hangar,” Amelia says. “And that's not what planes were built to do. All this engineering…It was built so that we could take flight. ...I feel the same way about people. We were built to stretch far beyond the limits that we've set for ourselves.” Amelia shares her story of rising above the turbulence to inspire others to pursue their dreams.
