In this episode, Kim Honeycutt interviews Molly Barker and gets the inside story of how Molly founded Girls On The Run, Molly's personal struggle with alcohol, and how she incorporates everything she's learned into her life today. 
From Molly:
I am Molly Barker, best known as the Founder of Girls on the Run International. (www.girlsontherun.org) My two children know me as Mom. To some, I am a recovering alcoholic; to others, a former Ironman triathlete and competitive cyclist. To my friends, I am an adventurer, seeker, and realistic peace-bringer.
Molly's Bio:
"The founder of Girls on the Run and a globally recognized role model for positive change, Molly Barker inspires all people to embrace their individual strengths, ask the hard questions of themselves, and realize their potential to change the world.
Molly Barker is the founder of Girls on the Run International, the program that uses running to empower girls. A four-time Hawaii Ironman triathlete, Molly, used her background in social work, counseling, and teaching to develop the program. Since Barker founded it in 1996, it has served two million girls and earned her numerous accolades, including the Daily Point of Light Award, given by President Obama and Former President Bush in a ceremony at the White House.
After retiring from the organization in 2013, she was asked to join the Bipartisan Policy Center's Commission on Political Reform, a Washington group seeking ways to bridge the political divide in Congress. By the time its 29 members of the commission made recommendations, however, Barker had decided the real problem was bigger than Congress. It was all of us.
That was when she began formulating an idea for The Red Boot Way, a new organization whose name was inspired by the gift of a pair of red boots from her daughter Helen.
Red Boot Way groups have now popped up in cities all across America and serve as a great tool/method to resolve conflict and bring greater understanding between people, whether in the workplace, communities and/or in personal relationships. www.theredbootway.org
Molly is the mother of two children: James and Helen. When asked recently what her mom does for a living, Helen responded, "My mom listens and loves people for her living."
