Bethany Cerella: Navigating Life as a Military Spouse

Episode 163

My guest today is Bethany Cerella.

Bethany is a stay-at-home mother, Pilates instructor and lifelong learner. Growing up in a Navy family and later a military spouse, Bethany has spent half of her life outside the United States, living in South Korea, Australia, Germany, England and now in Italy. Bethany homeschooled her twins until they were ten, teaching her kids to read and taking them on “travel-school” camping adventures across Europe.

Bethany studied studio art at Randolph-Macon Woman's College and New York University. Since then she has studied several wellness modalities, including yoga, energy healing, nutrition and functional anatomy. She is now pursing a doctoral degree in Integrative Health at the American College of Healthcare Sciences and enrolled in Georgetown University’s Health and Wellness coaching program.

Bethany is also the spouse of Tony Cerella, who has been a guest on the podcast sharing his journey of retiring from the US Military.  It was through my conversations with Tony that I learned pieces of Bethany’s story and wanted to invite her to come on the podcast.

I’m so grateful Bethany said yes, as this conversation is inspiring and reflective and Bethany’s stories are stories of determination, courage, and strength throughout difficult times.

Bethany, thank you so very much for sharing these pieces of your journey.  Thank you for your authenticity, vulnerability, and courage.  You are a great storyteller and I can’t wait to see where this next phase of life takes you!
