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.”
How to grow your hair fast (products & methods that actually work to help hair growth)
I understand now why the “mom chop” exists. It’s not for ease, like I originally thought. It’s because of postpartum hair loss. I did the opposite of most and grew my hair out after having my son. Or, rather, I was in the middle of growing my hair out when I got...
Personal Boundaries for Balance (And some life update chatter)
Well, hello! So, things are going to be shifting and changing here in this space.

Boundaries: 3 Signs You Need Them
It was late summer 2017. My heart was pulsing so hard in my throat I thought it might choke me. You need to take a break, my best friend said to me on the phone. She was using her former retail manager voice, and my instincts said to obey. But I knew I couldn’t. That’s impossible, I told her...

Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

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.
