“Whose story am I serving right now?”
Have you struggled with feeling invisible? Shrunk yourself to fit a mold? Before you learn to stand up for yourself, you have to learn how to see yourself. Marta Czajkowska knows this truth better than most—not just from therapy or theory, but from the side of a cliff, 20,000 feet in the air.
Growing up in communist Poland, Marta learned to survive by staying small. But even while disappearing into the roles others expected of her, something wild was already stirring. At 15, she set her sights on Yosemite’s El Capitan, and spent the next few decades climbing literal and metaphorical mountains to find freedom.
In this episode, Marta about how chasing freedom led her to an even deeper question: what does it mean to be fully alive?
Marta is a climber, author, soul-guide, and the founder of Masters of Badassery. Through a near-death accident, a bathroom-floor breakdown, and a hard-won reawakening, she emerged with a mission: helping others break free from societal scripts and step into their boldest, truest selves.
In this episode, Marta shares:
Marta doesn’t offer easy answers. She offers a mirror, a path, and the invitation to remember who you were before the world asked you to shrink.
