What if the guilt you’ve been carrying…was never yours to hold? Carter spent 9 years trying to fix a family that wasn’t hers to fix. She thought her dyslexia broke her parents’ marriage. But the truth? Sometimes our “flaws” don’t break things — they reveal what was already broken. Let’s talk guilt, learning differences, and why your story deserves a rewrite. 👀 You in?
Carter’s been carrying a lie for nearly a decade — that her dyslexia and struggles in school caused her parents’ divorce. At 22, with a full ride to engineering school and job offers in her inbox, the guilt still won’t let go. Until one midnight conversation with her dad finally flips everything.
This episode is a reminder that:
-
Guilt doesn’t equal truth
-
Different ≠ broken
-
And you are not responsible for adult problems that were never yours to fix
If you’ve ever felt like success is your apology, or that your wins still feel like losses — this one’s for you.
