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.”
Going against my instincts
*Disclaimer When I was in first grade, my dad agreed to come have lunch with me in the cafeteria one day. As we lined up in the classroom to make our way to the cafeteria, I had this overwhelming feeling of doubt and could say with near certainty that my dad wasn't...
Spilling secrets: The health benefits of journaling
If you were to be left alone in my house for an hour, climbed onto my *very unstable* vanity chair, and pulled down the *very heavy* pink bin to the left, you would find every one of my secrets. "Seems risky," my HS best friend said after discussing the dark green fabric covered notebook she grew...
Smile Direct Club: My Experience + Tips, tricks, and everything you need to know
We all have things we don't really love about ourselves. We typically grow out of some of those things over time. Others we grow to actually love. And some, well, some we choose to change. I've always had a pretty sizeable gap in between my two front teeth. Some might say it's not a big deal, but...
Boundaries: Get your life in order & accomplish your goals + Announcement & GIVEAWAY!
We're creeping up on the end of the month here, and let me guess; you've already given up on most of your goals or resolutions. Hey, it happens. But what if I told you that implementing boundaries could be the game-changing difference you need to get back on the horse? I first want to say, if...
Decide & do
I've started this blog post three different times. I know what I want to say, I think. But I just can't figure out how to say it. So instead, we're going to time travel back into the good old days of blogging where I just talk to you like a good friend. Sound good? Okay, good. Some people are...
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.
