    Do you think rock climbing is cool as f*ck? In this Chapter, Sam interviews her sister Alina, a professional in the rock climbing world. Alina shares her story about how she got into rock climbing and what it’s like to teach in the industry. Sam and Alina discuss what it’s like to have imposter syndrome in your career and how to deal with the feeling of not fitting in. This episode contains themes about body weight, diet culture, eating habits, bodyshape, and mental illness. If any of those topics are something that will upset you, or cause any type of negative impact, I would recommend skipping this episode.
