Dani Reyes-Acosta - Athlete, advocate, and storyteller rewriting the narrative of who plays outside

<div>Dani is a storyteller, strategist, advocate, and professional big mountain athlete redefining who plays outside and how we build community with others on this planet.</div> <div> </div> <div>Originally from Southern California, she has traveled through Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Andorra, Canada, and the USA building her craft as a split board mountaineer (plus climber, surfer, and runner) since 2014, when she graduated from corporate life with a one-way ticket to South America.</div> <div> </div> <div>Ever since then, she's worked to build a life AND career she loves, in spite of setbacks, naysayers, and building everything from scratch.</div> <div> </div> <div>Her goal? </div> <div> </div> <div>To inspire individual action and collective communion through self-care and self-determination found in the outdoors.</div> <div> </div> <div>“I want to find the limits of my possible—whether in the mountains, my creative work, or as a strategist—and travel into the higher reaches of the world that vests me with this power. To grow as individuals, communities, and a society, I think we need to embrace discomfort. This is how we evolve.” - Dani Reyes-Acosta</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div>New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am UK time - Make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss out. </div> <div> </div> <div>The Tough Girl Podcast is sponsorship and ad free thanks to the monthly financial support of patrons.
