In this powerful and deeply human episode of A Common Thread, Amy sits down with Liz Krueger—affectionately known as the Minneapolis Cruise Director. Liz is a master connector, community-builder, and event-driven influencer whose gift lies in bringing people together and making everyone feel like they belong.

But behind the vibrant social calendar and infectious energy is a story that runs much deeper.

Liz opens up about the moment she went globally viral after wearing a dress to a wedding—an experience that unexpectedly turned painful when she was harassed and bullied by grown women both in person and online. What could have broken her instead became a turning point in reclaiming her voice, confidence, and sense of self.

The conversation also moves into profoundly tender territory as Liz shares her emotional journey through infant loss, miscarriage, and IVF. With honesty and grace, she speaks to the grief, isolation, and resilience required to walk the long road of infertility—and how that journey ultimately led her to create the Infertility Inner Circle, a supportive community for parents navigating similar heartbreak and hope.

This episode is about visibility, vulnerability, and the power of connection—especially when life doesn’t go according to plan.
