Featured topics include

Lizzie is often asked to share her own inspiring story, of overcoming a cancer diagnosis at 26 years old and how this challenge was the starting point for transforming hr life, finding purpose and becoming a campaigner, as well as completing x3 paddleboarding world firsts.

Delving into the concept of using negativity and hardships as catalysts for positive, lasting change. Highlighting the power of resilience, the importance of a positive mindset and turning obstacles into opportunities.

Sharing her journey of battling cancer at a young age and how it shaped her mindset, personal and professional values and, in turn, her approach to life. It provides insights into resilience, perspective, determination and the pursuit of the well known ‘#best life’ (with its 4 million hashtags on IG alone) and how social media can be harnessed for good and to build a community, and what it really means in the face of your own mortality.

Focusing on the good luck of your bad luck, building mental resilience and overcoming barriers, drawing on Lizzie’s real experiences, like being caught on the Hudson River in a thunderstorm and incoming hurricane and paddling across the world’s busiest shipping lane on the English Channel. Providing practical techniques for managing stress, being your own cheerleader and the importance of recognising triggers to our mental and emotional health, and how to take charge of them.
