Welcome to episode 138 of the Your Level Fitness Podcast! In this episode, host Daryl Perry welcomes special guest Betsy Garrety to the show. Betsy shares her journey from teaching for 32 years to transitioning into the health and fitness space.

Daryl and Betsy dive into various topics, starting with how they connected on TikTok and the role social media played in Betsy's life during the pandemic. Betsy opens up about her experience as a high school science teacher and her decision to leave teaching due to changes in the education profession and its impact on her mental health.

They discuss the challenges of diet culture and the importance of understanding food as more than just fuel. Betsy shares her personal journey with diets and how she learned to prioritize her physical, mental, and emotional well-being when it comes to nutrition.

Throughout the conversation, Betsy emphasizes the concept of "handling your business," a phrase she has used in her classroom for years to encourage accountability and self-empowerment. Now, she's applying this mindset to her new career in health and fitness, where she aims to teach others how to take control of their health and wellness.

Join Daryl and Betsy as they explore the complexities of diet culture, the transition from teaching to coaching, and the importance of showing up for yourself in episode 138 of the Your Level Fitness Podcast!
