About This Episode
As a professional climber, entrepreneur, and author, Majka Burhardt describes boldness through what she considers to be the three pillars of self-expansion: emotional, physical, and mental. She begins by tracing her path from her early climbing days to how her passion for adventure has shaped her career. Majka also describes her journey through motherhood, from the surprising news that she was having twins to finding alignment in her life as a mother and climber, the inspiration behind her new book, More: Life on the Edge of Adventure and Motherhood. You'll also get to hear about the pivotal role her organization Legado plays in advocating for climate justice and the importance of community partnerships in creating a sustainable future. So tune in for an engaging episode around the adventures of climbing, parenthood, self-discovery, and being bold.
