Katia wrote on Instagram:

“Life in baseball isn't always glamorous— sometimes it means packing up your life (again), saying goodbye to routines (again), and starting fresh in a new city (again). The constant moving, the uncertainty, the emotional toll... it adds up.

But then you meet people like Marci and Mark Canha, who remind us that home isn't a place-it's the trust you build together.“

Further, Katia explained:

”In a lifestyle that demands flexibility, sacrifice, and a whole lot of resilience, they've learned how to stay grounded. Whether it's navigating long-distance stretches or raising two kids while balancing careers and travel, their anchor has always been trust—in their partnership, in their process, and in each other.

This episode is about the behind-the-scenes reality of baseball life-and the love and commitment that holds it all together.”
