Episode Intro:
Happy Wednesday everybody. Welcome back to the Female Guides Requested Podcast. I’m your host Ting Ting and today our guest is Bennett Rahn. Bennett is full of positive energy and her laugh always lightens up my mood. This summer I traveled up to Pacific Northwest,near her home base in Seattle,so of course I took this chance to interview her.
Bennett Rahn is a plus size outdoor athlete and has be very active on snow, rock, and water. Years ago she started sharing, on social media, the ups and downs, difficulties and triumphs she had experienced due to her body image. Her genuine stories resonated with many people and she has become a force for awareness and change in the outdoor community. In order to nurture the affinity space for women and plus size people, she became an AMGA Single Pitch Instructor to share her love of climbing and in her words to foster more “break throughs” for anybody performing on rock.
We talked about her accidental path to an influencer and how she leveraged that to speak for the plus size community. We also talked about her path to guiding from being a middle school teacher and a software engineer. I learned many tips from Bennett on how to coach plus size climbers and ways to promote this podcast on social media too! Now let’s dive into this episode and if you like this show, don’t forget to share it with your family and friends!
