Our Collective Stories

When you talk to Jackie Schnurr, the first thing you notice is her energy. She’s warm, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful in the way she talks about running, community, and the small moments that help her keep moving forward. That sense of light doesn’t come from an easy path. It comes from choosing, again and again, to put one foot in front of the other.

Some people light up a room the moment they show up. Kat Polack is one of those people. Even through a virtual interview, her big smile, warmth, and genuine excitement for running came through immediately. It was obvious we’d connect over a shared love of movement and what it can do for your mental health. Kat’s story is layered, honest, and deeply relatable, especially for anyone who has used running as a way to come back to themselves.
