WELCOME & HELLO

LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF

I’m so thrilled that you’re here! I’m Betsy, but most people call me Bets. In 2020, I created The Bets Life as a place to connect through stories, grow inspiration, and share smiles and laughs. I enjoy writing about relatable “aha” and “oh, no” moments and everything in between. Pull up a chair, grab that coffee (or cocktail), and feel free to stay awhile and check out my writing. I’m always trying to live that best life ever, and I hope that The Bets Life will encourage and remind you to always live yours!

Episode 58: Fitness, Motherhood, and Working Smarter, Not Harder 👏🏻 

In this episode, I am joined by Aisha Zaza, a macros coach with nearly two decades of experience in the fitness world. Aisha’s goal is to help women build better habits, live healthier lives, and feel stronger and more confident. 💪🏻 

Aisha opens up about how motherhood surprised her in the best ways, and how she’s now in the best shape of her life after two kids. We chat about mental health and her struggle with antepartum depression and pregnancy insomnia, why having time for yourself is so important, and the reality that sometimes you can’t do it all (and that’s totally okay)! 🥰

We dive into Aisha’s journey from CrossFit to (begrudgingly) falling in love with running, her game-changing approach to meal prep and macros, and why she believes working smarter, not harder is the best strategy. 🤔

Episode 57: Feeling Behind in Life? Here’s the Truth You Need to Hear 🥰

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind, whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your finances, or just life in general, this episode is for you. (Also, trust me, we’ve all been there.) 😅

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the pressures to keep up, the myth of “being behind,” and the sneaky trap of comparison. We chat about focusing on what you actually want to achieve (not your friends, parents, or society) and the reminder that life’s successes and failures are not linear. I get candid about how these feelings have shown up in my own life, from weddings and babies to career pivots and personal growth, and why it’s beautiful that we all bloom at our own pace. 🌼 

I also share a lovely mantra that I discovered that reframes the idea of “falling behind” and instead helps you fall into your own life. 💓

My voice is still half gone and I’m moving slowly today lol. What an incredible show. I’m always left in awe. 🤯

Have you seen Beyoncé live? It’s so fun to watch her daughter, Blue Ivy, perform too. She’s already so talented (not shocking lol). 👏🏻
