Who is Bettijo B. Hirschi, Todd Bridges' estranged wife?

Bettijo Boushley Hirschi is an entrepreneur, writer, and public figure known for her creative business ventures and lifestyle projects. She worked as a project analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense in Washington, D.C., before transitioning into journalism and entrepreneurial roles. In 2003, she founded Bath by Bettijo, a line of natural, handmade bath and body treatments developed from her interest in herbal remedies, according to Y Magazine. According to the same report, Bettijo was previously married to a man named Heath, who helped her with her Bath business. Only eight months after its opening, the company was featured in Lucky magazine. She was quoted by Y Magazine as saying:

“My husband, Heath (BA ’01), and I started filling online orders by making and housing the inventory inside our little condo in Washington, D.C. One of my main goals for that first year was to get into a major beauty magazine.”

Bettijo Hirschi's next venture was The Mommy times, which she co-founded. It was a popular creative lifestyle site which she started in November 2005, to share her parenting ideas with others.
