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.”
Where do I even start? | Major life update
What's that saying? Life happens while you're busy making plans. Yeah, that one. I feel like I should get that tattooed on my body. (Stop freaking out, Mom. I won't actually do it.) But woof. You guys. Hold on, let me gather my thoughts and figure out where exactly I...
This is hard, but I am thankful.
I took this week off from work. In case you're new here--it's been a terribly difficult year. We rang in the new year by losing my father in January. Then I launched a company and left my day job. Keep yourself busy everyone said. I did. And I was tired. Breaking my own rules, I took a work...
Millennial Money Matters: Throwing Money Away
I hope I'm not alone here, but I'm thirty years old and I've never kept a proper budget. I tried once, several months ago. It was scary to take a focused look at our finances, but I actually found the whole process oddly comforting. It didn't last. I'm not surprised. Life is busy. Time moves...
Things I Learned This Weekend.
Good morning, friends! Happy Monday! I'm determined not to be distracted and to have a hella productive week. I woke up with a scratchy throat and a hint of stuffiness, but if I can just power through this week it's relaxation city partners! Myra and I made the executive decision to close the...
How to Maintain Positive Relationships
My favorite thing about people is that none of us are exactly the same. I love hearing people's stories. I love connecting beyond the small talk. I love knowing what makes you tick, feeling your passion, and seeing your heart. Passionate people make my heart sing! I'm genuinely interested in what...
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.
