Welcome to Innovation

Beginning again has been a theme in my life, and I’m guessing in yours as well. When I lost my arm I quickly thought, “How can I continue to surf?” I knew that the old way I had surfed was gone. But what would the new way be? As my remarkable friend Nick puts it…I had to reframe my obstacle as an opportunity. Welcome to innovation! In my documentary, Unstoppable, you get a glimpse of my dad’s...

Recipe: Bethany’s Plant-Based Pesto

Adam and I always have some homemade pesto around the house for topping, dipping, and main dishes. I love to grow basil in my garden. I pick the leaves to make different versions of this delicious pesto. This recipe makes a yummy dip for veggies or crackers (we prefer seed crackers). We also smear it on wraps and mix it into salads. One of the main things that differentiates this pesto from others...

God’s Unshakable Love

Nothing can separate us from the love God has for us. How amazing to know these words can bring us peace and be a powerful reminder that we can overcome. This deserves repeating. Nothing – not our fears, not our insecurities, not the actions of others, not our families, not our failures, not our “unworthiness,” not even death – can truly separate us from the love of God. This means we are...

Secret Places

And while I have a great team supporting me, a lot of my training happens when I’m alone. Some of the greatest training gains I’ve experienced are the fruits of the time I spend pursuing my goals solo. I think the same is true in many aspects of life. How we function when no one is looking will shape who we are. I’ve seen it apply in my Christian walk as I pray, read God’s word...

The Three Truths Question

“Lewis Howes: This question is called the three truths. I want you to imagine that you are the great great grandmother that you dream of being, and you’ve created everything you wanted to create in your life. You’ve accomplished all the dreams, all the big goals that you’ve set. You’ve made them happen. You’ve got the family of your dreams. You’ve done it all. But you have to take everything with...

Thankfulness Can Change the Course of Your Life

I felt thankful to be alive. I wasn’t mad at God, I trusted He was in control and had a better plan and would do what He always does…redeem. I look back and see so much goodness and beauty that has come from the loss of my arm. I don’t think about what I don’t have, I am grateful for all I do have. Thankfulness changed the course of my life! Along with gratitude being a main theme in my life, it
