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.”
On change: Why I’m writing a book in 30(ish) days.
Have you ever felt stuck? You wake up every single day and nothing is different than the day before? You keep promising yourself change, but nothing changes. That was me. Ideas swirled in abundance and the desire burned, but still, I was plagued with inertia. I want...

Oh, hi
I'm calling in sick today, friends. I have no voice. I can hardly lift my head from the pillow. And I'm pretty sure the cold medicine I'm on is making me have the most bizarre dreams of my life. So instead, you can find me on the couch. I'll be the one binge watching Gilmore Girls and trying not...

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.
