Show Notes

Marie and Mike (ep. 9), a married couple who left behind their fast-paced lives in California, made a bold move to North Carolina, where Marie transitioned from biotech to pottery after helping Mike, now a civil engineer, overcome his reading challenges. In this conversation, Marie opens up about her unique journey from the world of biotech to mastering the art of pottery, and how those two seemingly different paths share surprising similarities. Along the way, she and Mike navigated the challenges of dyslexia, with Marie playing a pivotal role in helping Mike read fluently, a story of resilience and love.
