Hi, I´m Joey
It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.
While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”
Things that help me stay productive while working from home
Working from home always sounded like the dream. And trust me, it definitely can be. But there were some things I didn't consider before blending my work life with my home life. And in the last two years, I've found some things that work and some that don't. And as...
Quick & Easy Week Night Meals!
**First of all: the amount of love and support I get from you all never ceases to amaze me. I swear you guys are my people and I'm so lucky to call you friends!** Since the last few weeks have been just a little bit crazy, I thought I'd share with you my go-to meals for when I don't...
Game On…
I just thought this might strike a chord with some of you like it did me. I follow Sarah Dessen on twitter, and yesterday, which was a particularly hard day (do they all seem that way these days or is that just me?), she tweeted this in reference to the book she abandoned last winter. Maybe...
Chicken Soup for the Joey Soul
This weekend was just what the doctor ordered! Things have been fairly crazy around these parts lately and so it was nice to just stop and breathe for a minute or two! Friday night I got to hang out with sweet Kristina & some of her friends to celebrate her engagement! We had sushi...
Being Bold…
Revlon Bold Sangria with Essie Shine of the Times I've been in a bit of a nail funk lately (I know, gasp!) but I just haven't felt very inspired in that department. I haven't used shine of the times in years. Years. If I'm being honest, I don't really like it. It just...
HI, I'M JOEY
Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.

YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOKS
For the deep feeler, the over-thinker & the one who’s trying to figure out where they fit.
I write for the ones who feel like they’re too much and not enough all at the same time. For the ones navigating big questions about identity, self-worth, relationships, and those in-between life moments no one really prepares you for.
My stories offer a mix of comfort and catharsis—like a late-night journal entry or a favorite nostalgic playlist. If you love Taylor Swift lyrics, soft heartbreak, and hopeful endings, you just might find a piece of yourself in these pages.
