At 10, Marina survived a horseback riding accident that left her in a three-month coma. Recovery meant relearning basic skills, navigating school and friendships, and adjusting to a new way of living. A natural competitor and self-described overachiever, she performs in theater at Zeno Mountain Farm, hand-cycles marathons, and gains more independence every day—even when it’s hard.
Her story explores finding freedom in unexpected places. What does it take to rebuild your life? How do small victories shape who we are?


I'm Léa Hirschfeld, and this is Out of Sync: exploring life through disability, one story at a time.

Horseback Accident Survivor, Running for the Thrills | Marina


Out of Sync is an intimate podcast about life through disability — and a space for listening — created and hosted by me, Léa Hirschfeld. The first series was recorded across the United States during a Villa Albertine residency, from Vermont’s snow to California’s sun, gathering voices from Zeno Mountain Farm and beyond.
Some guests are characters in my French-language book ZENO. The recordings came first; the book followed later. Together, they trace the same world — not as adaptations, but as parallel gestures — told in different languages, at different moments in time.


Out of Sync will then open up to other English-language stories from different places, shaped by distinct lives, territories, and communities.
