Sasha DiGiulian is no stranger to fear. Sure, tagging first ascents and pushing the limits in rock climbing — not just for women, but all climbers — sounds scary. But that fear is obvious, and it comes in many forms.

Fear can also be facing career-ending surgery — choosing between two painful options. Or, it can be the fear of showing your true self on camera and not knowing how the “comment section” will respond.

It can also be starting a business, writing an autobiography, or joining the high-profile political fight against climate change. Fear is all these things, and DiGiulian knows each of them.

This episode dives into those fears — and her triumphs. It gets into the truth behind signing a pro contract, becoming a Red Bull athlete, and maturing into a leader within the sport and outside of it.
