Contest Alert! Find details below, after the episode summary! Liz Alterman was at a comfortable place in life. She and her husband were enjoying solid jobs in their respective careers, supporting their three children, and paying their mortgage. And then just before the holidays, her husband was laid off from a job he’d had for 18 years. Six weeks later, so was Liz. That’s when she was forced to face a crossroads of her life and future. On this episode, Liz shares the inspiring story of how she realized there is no ‘right time’ to pursue your dreams, and how she finally bit the bullet and became a full-time author. Liz takes us through her reinvention, and the humbling experiences she encountered along the way that brought her to writing the hilarious, honest, and relatable memoir, Sad Sacked that launched her novel-writing career. Four fantastic books later, Liz has never looked back.  The Breakout is hosted by people and change experts, Dr. Keri Ohlrich and Kelly Guenther.
