In this podcast episode, I interview Marina Delfina Diaz, who is a local business owner in Kansas City, Missouri. Marina grew up in a difficult religious environment and left home when she was sixteen. While growing up and leaving home, she found some of her greatest passions in outdoor adventures like snowboarding, hiking, cycling, parasailing, and surfing. This past summer (2021), Marina and a friend started a new fitness experience in the West Bottoms called Upside Bungee (upsidebungee.com). It’s a fun, unique, and low-impact approach to health and fitness. Her studio also offers yoga and dance classes as well. Marina shares about her journey out of toxic religion and her love for health, community, and spirituality.
