What if one simple change could help children become healthier, happier, more confident, and perform better in school?

In this inspiring episode of Unstoppable Success, host Jaclyn Strominger sits down with Kathleen Tullie, founder of Active Kids and former Head of Social Purpose at Reebok, to discuss her remarkable journey from corporate finance executive to nonprofit leader transforming the lives of children through movement. 

After a life-changing cancer diagnosis, Kathleen began questioning what truly mattered. What she discovered would eventually impact thousands of children across the United States, Canada, Japan, and beyond. 

Inspired by groundbreaking research on the connection between exercise, mental health, and academic performance, Kathleen created a simple before-school movement program that quickly grew into an international initiative supported by Reebok and educational leaders worldwide. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

✅ Why physical activity is critical for children's mental health and academic success

✅ How movement improves focus, confidence, and emotional regulation

✅ The surprising connection between exercise and classroom performance

✅ Why today's children are moving less than ever before

✅ The impact technology and screen time are having on youth development

✅ How parents can create healthier habits for their families

✅ What schools can do to help children thrive

Kathleen also shares the challenges of rebuilding after major setbacks, including the sale of Reebok, the impact of COVID, and continuing her mission despite losing funding and resources. 

Whether you're a parent, educator, coach, business leader, or simply someone who cares about the future of our children, this episode will inspire you to rethink the power of movement and the difference one person can make.
