Ep. #48: Rachel Wall - A Hereditary Angioedema Warrior's Journey to Becoming Comfortable in Her Own Skin

Rachel Wall came into this world with a rare genetic disease called Hereditary Angioedema that causes episodes of mass swelling which are intensely painful and interfere with kind of necessary stuff like breathing and digesting/absorbing food. She spends every day battling the body she was born into. Because of which she was told all throughout her life that she couldn't or shouldn't do things. Six years ago, with the support of her Mom, Rachel did a local Sprint Triathlon. Through the sport she found a new community where she was instead told “You can give it a try. We believe in you. We are proud of you.” Rachel has now done multiple short distance races, 4 70.3s, and a full marathon. Her next goal being the 140.6. In this conversation, we talk about ice-cream, hairstyles, bunnies, and how Rachel has grown to become comfortable in her own skin, not letting anyone else tell her what she can or can't do. - RACHEL'S SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram - H.O.T SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram | Facebook | Strava | Website -
