A conversation worth having📚

Dr. Liz Fiedler Mergen is a keynote speaker, remarried widow, flower farmer, mama, and survivor who turned her worst year into her most purposeful one.

Flowers Bloom Anyway is Liz's memoir, but it's also an invitation. She's available for intimate gatherings, book clubs, and small group events where the story sparks something deeper: about grief, about fear, about what it means to truly show up for your own life.

WHY LIZ

You want your book club or small get together to be more than a gathering. You want it to mean something. You want your guests to leave feeling seen, moved, and connected. Liz makes that happen.

After losing her husband unexpectedly, Liz didn't retreat. She wrote Flowers Bloom Anyway, built a thriving flower farm, and became the kind of speaker who changes the temperature in a room. She brings honesty, humor, and the hard-won wisdom of someone who has actually lived through the hardest thing.

Small groups. Real conversations. The kind of evening people text each other about the next morning. Liz attends all gatherings virtually via zoom and other meeting platforms, or if you rent The Bloom Room at Sunny Mary Meadow farm she can meet in person.

Women in Blue Jeans Conference Keynote

"We were blessed to have Liz join us as the keynote speaker for our annual South Dakota Women in Blue Jeans Conference. Her story of perseverance through tragedy, while providing herself grace even on the hardest days while raising her daughters and starting a flower farm gave us all the feels. We laughed, we cried, and found ourselves at the edge of our seat wanting to hear more. Liz brightens up any room she enters and will leave you feeling empowered to be whatever change you are looking for in your life."
