What happens when you finally land your dream job…and then realise it no longer fits the life you want? Lize Ratliff spent a decade at Mamamia and rose to Head of Podcasts, but when motherhood arrived she felt the pull of something different. In this candid chat with Kelly and Kee, Lize shares why she left Sydney, swapped a high-pressure career for Newcastle’s slower pace, and went back to uni to become a teacher.
It’s a refreshingly honest conversation about identity, ambition, and choosing family and freedom over titles - and why that might be the boldest career move of all.
