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.”
One year later
I love that I have these blog posts. June 2016 was such a huge, pivotal month for me. I quit my job, turned 30, and launched a company. Every single thing in my life was a giant unknown. I was living on hopes and prayers, and a whole lot of faith. That quote about...
The 5: Crazy Edition
After having several conversations with Lauren, I realize there are a few things people might consider me crazy for. Besides the whole never-had-a-peanut-butter-sandwich thing which you all learned about on Tuesday, here are some things that other people think I'm crazy for... why not...
The time I went against the grain.
Expectations. Judgements. Explanations. I was 22. I had a degree. I had a job with a fancy title in the industry I was interested in. Granted, the job wasn't at all related to what I knew how to do, but I figured the proximity to what I loved would make me happy. It...
This is real life, folks.
Oh, hi. I had a post scheduled for today (really tomorrow--it's Tuesday night right now), but I'll let that run another time. Sometimes you just need a good old sit down with the blog, am I right? So here I am: post long shower with wine in hand and headphones in. The iphone and ipad...
30 before 30
*learn to spell French Macaron I'm 27. I'll be 28 this year. How the heck did that happen? It makes me think of that quote from Grey's Anatomy: We're adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop? I hate to admit it, but I've spent a good chunk of my adult life thus...
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.
