When we hold a baby, we naturally cradle the neck and the tailbone.

In that moment we are tuned in to something gentle and instinctive, an awareness of subtle energy. It comes so easily to us as parents, and yet it’s so often abandoned in our own wellbeing as adults.

Many sensitive people, including so many listeners of this podcast, describe feeling as if they “lose themselves” around others. Subtle energy is about deep inner regulation and the quiet exchange that happens between human beings. It is always moving within us and flowing all around us.

In this episode, Jay shares a heartfelt and practical conversation with Craig Walker, a chiropractor, yoga instructor, and educator, who helps people strengthen their connection to themselves and to the world through an understanding of subtle energy.

In this episode, Craig talks about:

• Subtle energy: what it is and how it works
• The value of coordinated breath
• Empathic people are genuinely capable of absorbing the energy of others
• Gaining attunement to your body and your surroundings
• The layers that exist within you

“Whose story am I serving right now?”

Have you struggled with feeling invisible? Shrunk yourself to fit a mold? Before you learn to stand up for yourself, you have to learn how to see yourself. Marta Czajkowska knows this truth better than most—not just from therapy or theory, but from the side of a cliff, 20,000 feet in the air.

Growing up in communist Poland, Marta learned to survive by staying small. But even while disappearing into the roles others expected of her, something wild was already stirring. At 15, she set her sights on Yosemite’s El Capitan, and spent the next few decades climbing literal and metaphorical mountains to find freedom.

In this episode, Marta about how chasing freedom led her to an even deeper question: what does it mean to be fully alive?

Marta is a climber, author, soul-guide, and the founder of Masters of Badassery. Through a near-death accident, a bathroom-floor breakdown, and a hard-won reawakening, she emerged with a mission: helping others break free from societal scripts and step into their boldest, truest selves.

In this episode, Marta shares:

• Why freedom isn’t about escape—it’s about embodiment
• Her Hey, Wait moment in Yosemite that shattered her invisibility
• How mountaineering forged her ability to sit with clients in their deepest unraveling
• Why breaking down isn’t the end—it’s often the beginning of becoming

Marta doesn’t offer easy answers. She offers a mirror, a path, and the invitation to remember who you were before the world asked you to shrink.

Do you find yourself trying to one-up others? Or maybe you tend to one-down instead?

Whichever direction you lean, both have something in common. Contempt. Whether it’s contempt for yourself or for the other person, it disconnects you from having a true, grounded experience of yourself. Even if it feels satisfying in the moment.

Today, Jay speaks directly with you about what happens in your body when you fall into one-upping or one-downing. Saying “Hey, Wait” means noticing when it happens, tuning in to how it feels in your body, and learning how to move away from that sensation toward something more authentic and connected.

In this episode, Jay talks about:

• Going one-up or one-down in relation to other people
• One-up is contempt for the other person. One-down is contempt for yourself.
• The feeling in your body associated with each choice, & how to use your body to bring a sense of equality back to the conversation.
• Her upcoming book!
