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.”

Hi friend! If you’ve been around for a while then you’ll know that I used to blog full time back in the day. Then I started a company with my blogging bestie, life went completely sideways and over time I just sort of… Disappeared. And since then, I’ve been trying to...
Life starts over again
when it gets crisp in the fall. -F.S. Fitzgerald. Cool breeze. Pumpkin spice candle. Coffee. Was there ever a more perfect way to start the day? I think not. It's been crazy around here this year, friends. Clearly, because I've all but totally abandoned this space. I look back on the last 8 months...
I self-helped myself into a robot
Oh, hi. It's been a minute, huh? I guess I have some explaining to do. That's kind of the whole point of this post, if I'm being honest. Self-help books made me stop blogging. Okay, that's dramatic. But...it's actually kind of the truth. I was once a relatively balanced person who always...
Do it anyway
I joined a gym to start doing yoga. Last week, on my birthday actually. I'm not really sure where the desire came from--but it hung around long enough that I decided to take action. I'll be honest and say embarrassment is what was holding me back. I remember feeling the same when I was battling...
One year later
I love that I have these blog posts. June 2016 was such a huge, pivotal month for me. I quit my job, turned 30, and launched a company. Every single thing in my life was a giant unknown. I was living on hopes and prayers, and a whole lot of faith. That quote about wishing you would have started...
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.
