Get inspired with Brittany, your host on the Mom Sweat Sanity Podcast as she delves into the life of Marjaana, a super mom and a member of the renowned Betty Squad. As a mom herself and an advocate for fitness, mental health, and endurance sports, Marjaana opens up about her journey of motherhood in a foreign country, her battles with postpartum depression, and how running became her lifeline during her darkest times. Not only do we discuss resilience, motherhood, and the transformative power of sport, but we also journey from Marjaana’s life as a stay-at-home mom to becoming an inspiring triathlete.

If you’re a mom, a sports enthusiast, or simply someone drawn to stories of overcoming adversity, this episode will keep you captivated. We traverse through Marjaana’s experiences in various global competitions such as those in St. George, Finland, Norway, and Texas, shedding light on the diverse challenges and victories encountered.

As we delve deeper into the mental grit demanded by triathlons – even drawing parallels to childbirth – we applaud the strength displayed by moms juggling multiple roles. We also address the struggles female coaches face in a predominantly male industry and celebrate the strength of women in sports.

The episode concludes with a highlight of a vlog series that celebrates women in sports and features conversations with women from all walks of life. From Olympians and world champions to brave moms who manage the daily hustle while competing in triathlons - these stories are sure to inspire. Join us to garner powerful insights from women who defy the odds by balancing motherhood and their passion for sports.
