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.”
Anticipation of Change
When my husband came home unexpectedly only shortly after leaving for work, I knew why before I even opened the door to find his eyes rimmed red. He'd lost his job. The job we relied on 100%. That job provided our house, our insurance, and our only source of income....
I can’t.
Can I admit something weird to you? For some reason whenever I want something (whether it be a goal I want to accomplish, a piece of clothing, a certain job or even to master a certain recipe), I have this I can't float through my head. I see things and immediately make an excuse for...
Brave
Because on the inside? We're all afraid of being judged. I admitted a few years ago that I didn't always like myself. I'm awkward. I forget the right words to say. I get giggly and fidgety around new people. I get annoyingly excited. I'm loud. My posture...
six point five
I dug through a collection of papers. Some bled red with incorrect answers. Some were cheery with birthday wishes. And then there it was. Nestled snug in a plain white envelope adorned with handwriting I knew well. As I slid the note from its envelope, I felt my blood...
That Time I Fell In Love With A Hair Product
Remember when my Aunt tweeted that she sent me a package with a product she wanted me to try and write a review for? Well, when I opened the package I was excited to see that it was something I was already wanting to try--so much so that I had already purchased on part of the system. Garnier...
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.
