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.

Marci Shimoff
Do you want to be happier? Who doesn’t!
This year has taken a toll on all of us, causing us to alter our habits and limit our social connections, but those changes don’t need to inhibit our personal happiness. Marci Shimoff, best-selling author and happiness expert, says that happiness doesn’t have to depend on your circumstances.
As a young adult, Marci thought that achieving her goals would bring her happiness, but when she discovered that, even with success, happiness wasn’t truly there, she took action – diving into happiness research. Marci says that “if we want to help make a difference in the world… we need to both raise our own happiness set-point and then also do it, whatever IT is, that we are called to do.”
Want to know how to find happiness? Listen in on this conversation with Marci, author of Happy for No Reason: 7 Steps to Being a Happy Person from the Inside Out.

Dr. Sheri Prentiss
Dr Sheri Prentiss followed her dreams to become a physician, but then, 16 years into her career, a breast cancer diagnosis threw that dream off course. While she beat cancer, one disease morphed into another, preventing her from returning to work as a doctor.
Faced with uncertainty, L-I-V-E became her new mantra. Sheri recreated herself and dedicated her life to service through her non profit, podcast, and more.
Her book is an honest chronicle of her diagnosis and journey - both the good and the bad. Sheri says: “...when you are real and authentic, and you express those weak moments, people can identify with your weakness because they’re weak in that moment too, and when they’re able to see you on the other side, you now become a testimony.”
You can find her book, When Everything Changed: My Journey from Physician to Patient, here. (https://amzn.to/3nn1y7k)
