Thanks for sharing.
You could share both in your essays, you may pivot from a common quality (e.g. leadership ability, innovative thinking) that allowed you push both seemingly unrelated endeavors. You may then share the unique experiences, fulfillment and learnings you gained from both, and how this will help you towards your career goals.
No need to be apologetic or defensive with these on your essays, but you don't want to show indecisiveness of which direction you want to take. Focus on the personal development both have given you, and show the potential contributions you can make to the experiences of your peers.
All the best!
