What others have said:

“I was thrilled to have Molly come in and speak to our 4th through 6th graders. Our school was so grateful she shared her empowering message with our students, and her approachable style kept it light and fun. She guided them through her path to becoming an author as well as an athlete, and I know the students really benefited from hearing her unique story.” -Scott Johnson, 5th grade teacher

“We loved hosting Molly as a mentor and guest lecturer. She’s refreshingly honest and will answer any question. Her passion for writing, reading, and empowering girls is infectious; she left everyone–students and faculty alike–inspired.” -Catherine Ramsdell, Chair of Liberal Arts at Savannah College of Art and Design

​​Molly’s workshop created a thought-provoking discussion that devolved deeper into the power of storytelling. Molly made this workshop inclusive and fostered a positive space for the participants to share and discuss. No matter the participants background, Molly curated a space for so many to feel brave to share their stories. What stood out the most was Molly’s ability to connect to such a wide range of participants — not being ‘sporty’ in high school, but finding a love for sport in her own way — can really connect to so many. – Madison Danford, MSc., Ph.D(c). , Program Manager at Fast and Female

Molly’s talk was so informative and fun and I truly believe that the girls and adult women on the Zoom had a great time while learning. I think in this new world of Zoom learning, Molly should teach a class to teachers on how to keep people engaged in learning. -Dolores Diaz, NY NICA GRIT Coordinator

Molly is a fantastic presenter, even from 4000 miles away, she was able to really connect with the audience of my women’s coaching conference. -Chantal Thompson, HP Coordinator at the Ontario Cycling Association

Molly is fantastic. She combines professionalism and fun to go along with her natural ability to engage an audience. -Michael Suraci, Instructor at Camosun College

I’ve worked with Molly on two different events, one at Rapha NY and one at Rapha DC. She’s incredibly engaging and a natural host, sharing information on training, nutrition, comfort on the bike, and pretty much any other bike related topic you can think of, in a constructive and positive way. Between the two events, it’s been amazing to see her tailor the presentation to the very different crowds we’ve had for each, making the talks feel custom-fit for each audience we had. -Rapha Cycling Club D.C. Coordinator Ed Nessen
