“Wholeness isn’t something you find at the top of a mountain or at the end of a perfect plan.
It’s what emerges when you stop pretending, stop performing, and finally sit with what is.
Not to fix it, to be with it. Healing begins the moment you stop abandoning yourself.”
a soul map
For seekers, stivers, and wild hearts who are
done performing and ready to come home to themselves.
This is not a self-help book about becoming someone new. It is about remembering who you were before you started apologizing for your existence.
Through raw personal stories, potent practices, and lyrical truth-telling, Masters of Badassery invites you on a journey of reclamation. From the Andes to El Capitan, from burnout to belonging, Marta Czajkowska reveals what it takes to stop proving and start living.
You will learn how to access your full self without numbing, performing, or chasing. You will discover how to build real self-trust, speak your truth, and transform pain into power. Most of all, you will realize you are not broken or behind. You are already blooming.
Whether you are standing at a threshold, navigating a transition, or simply tired of playing small, this book will meet you where you are and call you forward.
“Your worth isn’t something you earn.
It’s something you remember.”

What Marta has written is pure permission for anyone who still believes they have to earn their worth by disappearing. You’ve dug deep into your soul and dared to show the raw, unpolished parts.
I love that the book is structured like a root system, not a staircase. Real transformation isn’t linear. It zigzags, just like climbing. — Sumit Gupta

This book is a trail guide for the soul. Every story, every tool feels like it was forged on a mountain or in a storm. Marta writes with the grit of a climber and the heart of a healer. She doesn’t give you a map, she shows you how to trust your own compass. — Amber Stubbs

Masters of Badassery is what happens when deep spiritual work meets real-world grit. Czajkowska has created something rare: a memoir that doubles as a manual for transformation. Her tree metaphor (roots, trunks, fruit) isn’t just poetic; it’s practical wisdom for anyone ready to stop performing their life and start living it.
This book will stay with you long after the last page, not as inspiration but as an invitation. — Townsend Wardlaw

Marta is a rare gift to the world. I’ve never read a book written by someone with such incredible depths of self awareness. What transpires in these pages is sacred; this is not a book it is the way home. — Sam Smith

Reading the book was like sitting with a mirror that spoke back to me. The tree metaphor -Roots & Echoes, Trunks & Branches, Fruits & Flowers touched me deeply. It felt as though I wasn’t just reading your story, but being invited into my own.
Marta’s words reminded me of kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. You don’t hide the fractures, you illuminate them. Each page felt like a golden seam, showing that healing is not about erasing what’s been broken, but honoring it as part of our story, part of our wholeness.
Marta reminds me that courage and tenderness can live side by side. She speak with such raw honesty and poetic power that her words don’t just inspire, they land in the soul.
Masters of Badassery isn’t just a book. For me, it was both a mirror and a map, guiding me back to parts of myself I had forgotten.
Thank you for sharing the truth so generously. — Farah Ismail -
Just wow. This isn’t a book, this is SOUL NUTRITION!
I feel heard, spoken to, held, seen and coached all in one after reading this book. It’s raw, real and powerful just as I….YOU are which is what Marta shows you on this epic journey. I’m buzzing……there is an energy reverberating in my entire being after reading Masters of Badassery.
I’m now looking at my life and pinpointing my mountains and my climbs that are in front of me. I see the possibility of how I can treat my fears differently. It’s not about trying to be fearless or perfect, it’s about the decision you make on your life and the way you choose to lead.
If you read this book carefully, you’ll discover a lot about who you can be. No more hiding, no more playing small and no more being led by fear.
I want to be a master of badassery, it’s a journey that’s full of the greatest rewards life has to offer. — Raghav Parkash

It's astonishing how Marta weaves her stories into a simple, yet sophisticated and rich tapestry, one that wraps around you and warms you up when the chills and goosebumps of reading those very stories hit.
Marta shows up wild, naked, and extremely generous in her book, offering her whole life on a silver platter to serve others’ journeys. She paints a reality you might think only exists in award-winning movies, the kind that keeps you on the edge of your seat in the theater.Experiencing Marta through this book is extraordinary and life-altering. Just imagine what it’s like to experience her and her work in real life! - Safa

Masters of Badassery doesn't just inspire, it's a holy invitation that dares you to wake up and live the life that's been waiting for you all along.
Through deeply personal stories told with soul-stirring honesty, Marta shares her life and invites you into your own. This book is for anyone who has ever felt invisible, unworthy or stuck on the sidelines with just a dream for a bigger life.
What if experiencing joy and the fullness of life is not selfish, but a gift you give yourself, others, and a way of making our wonderful planet increasingly beautiful?
It’s so much more than a book. It's a beautiful wild permission slip. Read it, then create the life that's been calling your name. — Luke Harris

There were moments of tears as Marta shared her journey, where I can see so much of myself. This book is a beautiful weaving of the souls yearning for more and the internal, innocent prison bars we put around ourselves from our childhood, culture and environment. I felt such a hope, a wellspring that yes there is so much more available beyond my fear than I can ever know. And going on that adventure, stepping onto the mountain, is the gift in itself.
This book is created with so much love and soul, you can feel it. And the metaphors of roots, branches, and fruits is something that resonates deeply. For anyone seeking to heal and live an even deeper, purposeful and adventurous life buy this book and get your Masters in Badassery! — Dubem Menkaya

Marta’s book is a raw and moving account of her and her clients becoming true badasses. It’s an account of the power of desire, clarity, alignment, and action around one’s purpose. It’s a reminder that – in Marta’s words - when we are wildly, unapologetically aligned, when our words, choices, and energy all point in the same direction, the universe listens. It’s a call to face the fact that our commitment to our desires might be the only thing missing. The path ahead might not be easy.
Becoming a badass might be, or is likely to be, uncomfortable. Yet when you read the book, every cell in your body seems to scream out loud, “I want to feel alive in that way, too”. Get the book, read it and live your life as a badass. — Piotr Macieja

This book is a gift to the world. It’s not something Marta wrote, it’s who she is. Every word carries her raw, unfiltered heart. Marta doesn’t posture. She tells the truth. Always. She leads from the front, no matter the room, no matter the cost.
One line that stopped me cold: “To me, this is it. Where is it? Where did it go? Where the stillness only amplifies the emptiness.” If that hits you, this book is a must-read. It’s about finding your heart’s desire, the thing that’s always been calling. No matter your story, no matter your upbringing, life is always happening for you, even when it doesn’t look that way.
When you want something so bad, when you say yes before you even know what it is, that creates. Commitment creates. What Marta shares here is pure possibility for everyone who has the privilege to read it. — Bradley Davidge
Why i wrote this book
For years, I told myself I was writing a book, but really I was circling in excuses.
Too busy. Not a writer. English my second language. Someone else had already said it better.
Ten years of rehearsing reasons, waiting for a perfect moment that never came.
On January 5th, I called my own bluff: No more waiting. No more why nots.
It felt like stepping onto a train already leaving the station. One track. One direction. No excuses left to cling to. I made room in my schedule and promised friends I would hand them a book in September.
All I had was commitment. Nothing else. Not clarity, not an outline, not even a title. Just the unmistakable knowing: It is time.
Weeks later, clarity struck in the most ordinary place: digging in my garden. Suddenly, I knew what the book wanted to be about. From there, the writing poured out. In two and a half months, the manuscript was complete.
But it wasn’t the book I thought I’d write. I always assumed it would be about climbing mountains or traveling the world. Deep down, I knew those were only adventures. They weren’t the thread.
The true story was harder to name: thresholds. The moments when we stop circling and finally cross. What it means to stop waiting for permission, to stop fixing ourselves, and to start remembering who we already are.
After it came out, the feedback made one thing clear: this book isn’t about me anymore. It’s about the reader. That’s the magic of art. You dive in completely, then you let it go. People will meet it where they are.
I’m at peace with that, because I told the truth.
What Comes After the Book?
Masters of Badassery is the mirror.
The Threshold Practice is your first crossing.
And the Wild Threshold Year is the passage itself.
The book will hand you the machete, the match, and the map.
The guided practice will show you the hidden thread of your own power.
And the year-long journey is where we walk it together until it’s woven into your bones.
If the book lit something in you, and the practice cracked the door open, the Wild Threshold Year is how you step all the way through.
