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.”
Mystery & Pyshological Thriller Books I’ve Read Lately
*Disclaimer Hi friend, how are you? I feel like I'm poking my head up from out of the sand. I've been deep in business stuff lately. As most of you know, I'm a YA author, but I've never really shown up in the world as an author. I write books. Publish them. And hide...
Fresh Start? Boundaries you May Need.
For many of us, things kind of get out of whack over the summer. Kids are out of school. Vacations interrupt your normal workflow. Clients are in and out of the office. Life and business just lose all sense of normalcy and routine. So when August rolls around, I am typically desperate to reintroduce some structure.
Personal Boundaries for Balance (And some life update chatter)
Well, hello! So, things are going to be shifting and changing here in this space. I really really enjoy writing helpful lifestyle content about productivity, faith, and boundaries--so that won't necessarily be going anywhere. But I literally spend most of my day writing for other companies--using...
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...
What do you want? The secret to finding clarity
“I don’t know what I want.” How many of you have said this to yourself at least once in the past six weeks? Maybe you’re unsure about which direction to take your career. Or maybe you’re considering leaving your job and starting your own company. Things might feel foggy when it comes to your...
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.
