Ep. 12: Art, Adventure, and an Unscripted Life with Dale

📝 Show Notes

In the season finale of The Words We’ve Heard, host Marbree Sullivan sits down with her own mother, Dale, for a conversation that traces an unconventional and deeply meaningful life—from post-war Pennsylvania to San Francisco, Tokyo, and beyond.

Together, they explore Dale’s childhood in a family of educators, her early love of dance, studying French in Belgium and art history in Florence, and the challenges and joys that came with raising a family and following her husband’s career around the country and abroad. From earning her CPA as a young mother to curating an international print show in Japan, Dale’s story weaves together artistry, resilience, and quiet courage.

It’s a heartfelt reflection on change, compromise, and creating a life that, while not linear, has been entirely her own and wholly wonderful.
