Hope & what she’d tell her 14-year-old self

Creator, author, and speaker Molly Burke joins Post Run High for an honest conversation about what blindness is really like—and why the hardest part isn’t losing vision, but navigating a world that isn’t designed for accessibility. Molly opens up about losing most of her sight at 14, hitting rock bottom, and the mindset shifts that helped her rebuild her life. We talk movement and wellness, resilience, ableism, representation, and how she learned to stop being a passenger in her recovery and turn pain into purpose.

Post Run High

Post Run High is a podcast about honest conversations that happen when people slow down and let their guard drop.

Hosted by Kate Mackz, the show brings together founders, creators, athletes, artists, and thinkers to talk about performance, identity, pressure, and the moments that shape who we become. Recorded after a run, walk, or shared movement, these conversations tap into the clarity that often comes when the body is tired and the mind is open.

This isn’t a show about success on paper. It’s about what people carry behind the scenes — how they cope with doubt, navigate change, stay disciplined, and keep going when things get hard. Post Run High is a space for reflection, perspective, and real insight you can take into your own life.
