Personal, heartfelt talks about love, grief, and resilience—to empower, inspire, and help you find strength within, one small step at a time.
Book LizSometimes, hearing someone share their story helps us feel less alone in our own.
I’m Liz—a mother, an educator, and the heart behind Grá From the Heart. My experiences of love, caregiving, and losing my husband, Paul, after 23 years of marriage have shaped the stories I share and the message I carry.
My story is my own. I don’t pretend to know exactly how someone else feels or believe that everyone’s journey follows the same path. But sometimes, hearing another person’s story helps us recognise something in ourselves—a little courage, a sense of purpose, or a love and passion we never imagined finding.
Some of my stories are heartbreaking. That’s where I found my grit. Others are filled with surprises and laughter. That’s where my dark humour comes in—and where happiness still finds a way to show up. Through all of them runs the grá in my heart: the love behind the memories I carry and the life I’m still learning to live.
Through honest, heartfelt talks, I make room for grief, laughter, reflection, and hope. I speak about showing up for one another, finding courage in small steps, and welcoming moments of joy while carrying the people we love with us.
And somewhere along the way, we might just have to dance it out. Sometimes, words can only do so much.
Whether you’re bringing together a community group, school, workplace, or an audience touched by loss, I would love to hear about your event. Together, we can shape a talk that connects with the people in the room and gives them something meaningful to take home.
My hope is that people leave feeling seen, a little more connected, and encouraged to take their next step—whatever that looks like for them.
Invite me to share a little Grá, a little hope, and a reminder: don’t lose your sparkle.
With love,
Liz
Talk themes, format, availability, and fees are discussed individually.
My talks continue to change and grow as life brings new experiences, but some themes will always stay close to my heart.
Through stories from my caregiving journey, I share what it means to keep showing up when life feels overwhelming. We explore finding courage, taking one small step at a time, and recognising the little victories that can mean so much.
Cancer takes enough. My message is about holding on to the joy, love, laughter, and everyday moments that still belong to us.
Through stories from our own journey, I share how we found reasons to smile, made memories, and kept being ourselves alongside the appointments, treatments, and uncertainty.
There is no pressure to feel positive every day. There is room for fear, anger, and tears—and there can still be room for a favourite song, a ridiculous joke, or a moment worth celebrating.
This is a heartfelt reminder that we are more than a diagnosis. Cancer may be part of our story, but we can keep making room for the things that make us feel alive.
You don’t need perfect words to support someone who is grieving. Sometimes, the most meaningful thing you can offer is your time, a familiar face, and a cuppa.
I share simple, thoughtful ways to show up, listen, and stay connected long after everyone else has gone home—helping someone feel supported as they find their own way through grief.
Sometimes, life refuses to follow the plan. We can’t always change what happens, but we can find moments to breathe, move, laugh, and try again.
With humour and heart—and perhaps a little dancing—this talk invites us to loosen our grip on getting everything right and make room for joy, even in the middle of a messy day.
Tell Liz a little about your audience and what you have in mind.
