Katie Zornes is a content creator, mental health advocate, and "doer of hard things." She gained a following on TikTok and Instagram by sharing her "22 Hard Things in 2022" list. She created the list to combat depression and get back to life, after years of self-loathing, and navigating grief due to the loss of her mother in childhood. The list included everything from going to the dentist for the first time in seven years, to completing a triathlon after years away from the sport.

Katie is a plus-size runner, triathlete, and wannabe farmer. She has been featured by USA Triathlon and Good Morning America. In 2023, she won the Win for KC Lockton Courage award, as a part of their annual event celebrating women in sports. Her latest endeavor is Courage Camp, a podcast & video series celebrating everyday courage. She hopes people will find the power in their own stories and pursue the life they want now.  Katie hopes you'll ask yourself, "What if I can?"
