Carter spent 9 years thinking she broke her family. Then her dad said 7 words that changed everything:‘Your dyslexia didn’t break our marriage.’What if the guilt you carry… was never yours to begin with?
Carter, a 22-year-old dyslexic engineering student, has spent almost a decade believing she caused her parents’ divorce. Her achievements became an apology letter. Her drive was fueled by guilt. But in this episode, we follow the conversation that flips everything. Her dad reveals the truth: Carter’s dyslexia didn’t break their marriage — it revealed what was already broken. This is the story of how guilt turned into gratitude, how difference became power, and how Carter finally stopped apologizing for who she was — and started building something revolutionary.
