Marcha Morena-From Amsterdam to Curaçao: A Masters Athlete Built on Grit, Grace, and Real Life

In this episode, I sit down once again with Marcha, an athlete whose talent is matched only by her honesty and heart. Marcha is chasing a spot at the CrossFit Games in the Masters Division, but what makes her story so compelling is everything beyond the training. Joining us from the island of Curaçao, she opens up about why the warmer climate fuels her best work, how discipline evolves as you grow, and why even elite athletes face the same bumps, losses, and life challenges as the rest of us. From family struggles to financial setbacks, Marcha’s perseverance shines through, reminding us that greatness isn’t just about ability, it’s about attitude. This easygoing conversation is full of real talk about life, resilience, and the mindset it takes to keep showing up, no matter what’s happening around you. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to “have it,” this episode will shift your perspective.
