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.”
5 binge-worthy true crime podcasts (that I may or may not have binged more than once)
Who else hadn’t ever heard of a podcast before Serial swept the internet? 🙋🏻♀️ I actually remember hearing about it and wondering how the heck you were supposed to consume it. It wasn’t until someone explained to me that there was an app, you search the title, and...
Coffee catch up!
Well hello there! I've got my coffee cup and no agenda. It's just me and my thoughts today--who's ready for a little catch up? Apparently I'm a 90 year old because I hurt my hip. I've been hobbling around since Friday. How did I hurt it? Your guess is as good as mine. I went on a nice 4 mile walk...
Squash the overwhelm! Calendar Blocking: A Fresh Approach
Is it just me or does anyone else feel like a little elf came into their house in the middle of the night and swapped out their coffee with decaf? Regardless, it's been one heck of a productive week around here, and praise be--it's FRIDAY! I gave a little presentation on Wednesday to a group of...
Just stop.
Stop making yourself small. Stop holding yourself back. Stop selling yourself short. This life you're living? It's yours. All yours. You get to decide what you want to do with it. You have the power and the ability to do anything you want. Stop believing that voice inside your head that's saying...
Productivity Pep Talk: The Boundaries You Need to Protect Your Productivity
It’s Friday. Thank God, right? I’m 100% on the struggle bus this morning after foolishly trying to reintroduce the 5AM wake-up habit the week of Daylight Savings Time. Seriously, what is wrong with me? I’m already dreaming of climbing into bed tonight at 8PM happy as a clam. #judgenot Since it’s...
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.
