Rachel Lee Boim is a record holding endurance athlete and Doctor of Physical Therapy who has set Fastest Known Times on iconic routes like the Kilimanjaro Summit Circuit, Aconcagua, and the trail from Namche Bazaar to Everest Base Camp.


Rachel began her mountaineering journey at age 33. Since then, her on- the-go lifestyle has led her across six continents to compete in ultramarathons and high altitude ascents. Rachel's also a volunteer Trailblazer at The Cairn Project, blending her passion with philanthropy so other girls and women can experience the magic of time outdoors.


Angie and Rachel talk about:


  • Rachel’s recovery from disordered eating and body dysmorphia
  • How her sister’s cancer diagnosis inspired Rachel to explore scary goals
  • The difference between pain and discomfort in outdoor adventure
  • The emotional cost of being a sponsored athlete and how she found joy again
  • Why women of all ages deserve to chase big goals (and how to start)
  • Adventure lessons from Nepal, Bolivia, and beyond


Join us at the July 31 Trail Talk to ask Rachel questions about staying strong and healthy in outdoor adventure!
