When I was new to blogging, I spent some time looking for bloggers that were good writers, aligned with what I was interested in, and who I was inspired by. I lucked out by finding, Betsy Kerekes on Parenting is Funny.
There’s much to love about Betsy but I think what stuck the most for me is that she tackles hard things with humor and grace. This is true for parenting and now that she’s changed her blog name to Motherhood and Martial Arts (MMA), it’s true for martial arts too.
I’m not a martial arts practitioner, but in the great stories she tells about learning, getting injured, and keeping up the practice, I’m inspired by her grit all wrapped up in a lovely package. Whatever it is she practices, she moves me to laugh about all the great lessons she learns.
So I know you’ll love this entertaining podcast that I did with Betsy on Mountaineering, Martial Arts, Overcoming challenges and Motherhood.
You can find (and subscribe) to the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Anchor and Pocket Casts. And here’s the link to the podcast on Anchor: Episode 3: On Mountaineering, Martial Arts, Overcoming Challenges and Motherhood
And here are links to her blog and books that I can personally highly recommend:
Blog: Motherhood and Martial Arts (formerly Parenting is Funny)
Book on Amazon: Be a Happier Parent or Laughing Trying
Book on Amazon: 101 Tips for a Happier Marriage
Book on Amazon: 101 Tips for Marrying the Right Person
The Heart of the Matter 
Such fun…and I learned a few things! Happy Friday – thanks, Wynne & Betsy!

This was a great – and fun – episode! The one from last time (with Wynne and Vicki) was as well! Had a chance to catch up and enjoyed both of these greatly!
