Episode 42: Purpose, Identity & the Power of Starting Over with Molly Barker
In this episode, Dr. Katie sits down with the extraordinary Molly Barker, founder of Girls on the Run International, community builder, author, and lifelong seeker, for a deeply honest and illuminating conversation about what it means to move on from something significant and evolve.
Together, they explore how we know when it’s time to let go of a role, a title, an identity, and how we find our way back to ourselves in the process. With wisdom, warmth, and the clarity that only comes from lived experience, Molly shares her journey of leaving something deeply meaningful (and identity-shaping) to create space for what’s next.
Here you can find out about:
✨ The discomfort that signals it’s time to change
✨ Identity evolution, what it feels like, and how to move through it
✨ The tension between hustle culture and embodied living
✨ Coming back to yourself as an ongoing life practice
✨ The healing power of women's community and storytelling
Whether you're at a crossroads, feeling a quiet nudge for change, or simply craving a deeper connection with your purpose, this conversation will spark reflection, compassion, and maybe even clarity. So tune in to hear what it means to live a big, unapologetic life on your own terms.
