Episode 19 - Embracing Yourself & Your Expectations with Kayli Blankenship Scott

Kayli was born and raised in Pittsboro, North Carolina. She attended Guilford College in Greensboro, North Carolina where she studied Elementary Education and Psychology. She was also a member and captain of the Guilford College softball team, a leader in the Guilford Christian Ministry, and a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. Since abruptly ending her senior softball season and school year due to Covid in 2020, Kayli has married her high school sweetheart, Garrett Scott, moved to Holly Springs, and has begun her teaching career in third grade at Baucom Elementary School.

She recently began a small charcuterie business, called Grades and Graze, where she loves to have a creative outlet while also spreading joy and intentionality through food. She loves to spend time with her friends, family, and rescue pup Sadie, sip coffee, and build relationships with others. The past (almost) two years have brought much change in Kayli’s life, but her relationship with Jesus has given her a steadfast joy despite her circumstances. She is beginning to find community in her new city and is looking forward to the growth she continues to experience in the years to come.
