Resolutions Out of the Box: Expectation-Shattering Heroes from 2023, with Kelly Guenther and Dr. Keri Ohlrich (and some of our epic guests from the past year)
01/03/24 • 22 min
With every new year comes the resolutions: the promises of big change, self-improvement, personal growth, breaking bad habits, and even plans for complete reinvention. Whatever your goals for 2024, The Breakout is back to inspire you with powerful breakout stories, perspective-shifting leaders, and thought-provoking expert advice. So, as we jump into the season of new breakouts, Keri and Kelly decided to look back on some of their favorite and most powerful breakout guest moments of 2023.
Join us for this special new year’s episode to hear from some of these gems of 2023: guests who broke out of mental health struggles, escaped careers that were killing them, solved mindset mysteries, and even guests who have endeavored to shift big, rigid cultural belief systems about abortion. These are guests who blew Keri and Kelly away with their courage and insight, and we know you’ll love them, too.
Happy New Year everyone! Enjoy this year in review, and get ready for more in 2024!

How To Save Your Kids: Kidnapping, Trauma, and Fighting the Odds...and Your Own Demons, with Author, Lizbeth Meredith
“Four years after I left – four long years of being stalked and having my tires slashed – my former husband took the kids one day and disappeared out of country.” That’s the beginning of Lizbeth Meredith’s years-long nightmare of searching for her two young daughters after her abusive ex-husband kidnapped them and took them to Greece. Living on just $10 an hour at the time, Lizbeth embarks on a $100,000 journey working with a private detective, fighting through a foreign court system, getting arrested, and taking terrifying risks to bring her children home.
But this is a story that really begins with Lizbeth’s own difficult childhood. In this episode, Lizbeth shares the long road from her own early trauma to surviving domestic abuse, to rescuing her girls and growing a foundation of confidence and self-worth. She now works as a writer, true crime interviewer, probation worker, and child abuse investigator, and uses her voice and her experiences to advocate for victims everywhere.
Lizbeth talks honestly about being “a good victim”, staying quiet in hopes that things would get better, and how her childhood contributed to decades of not believing in herself. She wrote about the whole harrowing journey of defying the odds and the expectations in her memoir, Pieces of Me, and in 2022, that book was made into a Lifetime movie, called Stolen by Their Father. In 2023, Lizbeth published her second book, Grounded In Grit, that she describes as “personal development for women weighed down by crises or abuse, finally ready to become their own best advocate”.
You don’t want to miss this amazing story of transformation and survival.
