TODAY’S GUEST

Sasha DiGiulian first began climbing at 6 years old, in 1998. She has won the World Championships for Female Overall, and has placed Silver in the Bouldering World Championships, as well as Bronze in the Duel. Sasha has been the undefeated panAmerican Champion 2004 to the present, and she is a three-time US National Champion.

Outdoors, Sasha is the first North American woman to climb the grade 9a, 5.14d, recognized as one of the hardest sport climbs achieved by a female. She has done two. Sasha was the third woman in the world to accomplish this grade.

It is essentially its own course on confidence — with over 1 hour of videos with Eva teaching on the subject! We hired an amazing illustrator who helped us with the videos and accompanying worksheets. We are so incredibly proud of this content and know it can have a huge impact. We hear from so many listeners who say that their kids really connect with Eva since she is a peer – and we know that this same connection will carry over to the course.
