In this inspiring episode, Christine welcomes her longtime friend Carol Thomas to share her powerful journey from being labeled a "slow learner" to earning a degree from Harvard Extension School.

Carol takes us through her early struggles in education, the deep-seated insecurities she carried, and the pivotal moment in her late 40s when she decided to go back to school—startingat a fourth-grade level. With perseverance, faith, and unexpected encouragement, she went on to achieve academic success she once thought impossible.

This conversation is a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of rewriting personal narratives, and how it’s never too late to pursue education. If you've ever doubted yourpotential or needed a reminder that change is possible, this episode is for you.
