What if movement could change the way we think, learn, and show up in the world?

On this episode of GlowTalks with Jess, Jess Ernst welcomes Brooke Sydnor Curran, founder and CEO of Move to Learn and an endurance athlete who has completed more than 200 marathons.

Brooke shares the deeply personal story behind her relationship with movement—from discovering running as a young mother to surviving a brain aneurysm and brain surgery, then retraining her brain and body through movement.

That experience helped shape her mission with Move to Learn, which works with schools to give students accessible ways to incorporate movement into their day.

Together, Jess and Brooke explore:

  • Resilience and navigating unexpected life changes
  • The connection between movement and focus
  • Confidence, belonging, and personal agency
  • Why students may need different ways to learn and engage
  • How movement can become a powerful tool in schools
  • The importance of doing what makes your heart sing
  • Finding a new path when life doesn't look the way you expected

A powerful reminder that you don't have to be an elite athlete to experience the benefits of movement.
