About

Hi, I’m Jody.
Welcome to Beautifully Quaint!

Beautifully Quaint was created out of the desire for a better life. After going through several abusive relationships, a failed marriage, and dealing with damaged relationships with family and friends during the process, I found myself on my knees convinced I was never going to be able to get back up; I was completely alone and felt hopeless. Honestly, if I didn’t have 3 kiddos whom I love with all that I am, I would have moved far away and started over. It was my kids that kept me going. Long story short, one day I realized I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life miserable, life truly is too short. I decided that no matter what my circumstances I am going to pursue a beautiful life. 

I started Beautifully Quaint as a way to help me focus on building that life. In the process, I have met a lot of women who can relate to my experiences and who are searching for encouragement. I hope that time spent on my site helps you work through whatever you are going through and encourages you to define your own beautiful life.

Oh, WAIT! I didn’t forget about BEAUTIFULLY EMPOWERED. After writing on Beautifully Quaint, I started to think about my daughter and how to protect her from all of the heartache and struggle that life has to offer. I know I can’t protect her but I can help to build her up and prepare her and so Beautifully Empowered was created. Check out this section of our site to see how we are empowering young women to know their value, be confident in their abilities and combat depression.
