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.”
It’s not enough
It’s December 2nd. It’s been almost 2 months since I last got up, got ready, and drove to work for the day. It’s been almost 2 months since I gathered my belongings, switched off the light and turned in the doorway to get one last look. I was emotional. Sad to leave....
The Truth About Finding Balance
For true transparency, I'm writing this post on a Sunday. Sunday of a holiday weekend, no less. I'm catching up on work today because I was struck down with some serious cramps on Friday, the day I was meant to knock out all my content writing. So instead of writing on Friday, I laid on my couch...
Sometimes It Looks Different Than You Expected
At the start of this year, I made a very specific but overly unlikely goal. I want to buy a new car, I said. And I want to pay for it with writing. At the time of that statement, I was blogging regularly but otherwise not actively writing. And to be honest, my intention behind that goal was to...
Pinch Me Moments Full of Uncertainty
I've had a lot of pinch me moments in the last few weeks. First with New York, then turning 30 surrounded by my best friends, and now with the business. Those moments give me pause. I spent a lot of time devastatingly unhappy in the last year. I lost a lot of time marinating in loss and an...
What I Know About Writing
Something you might not know is that I actually went to college for writing. My aunt gave me a journal for my tenth birthday. It was yellow with little blue flowers on it. I don't know what prompted her to pick that gift for me, but she's always had an odd all-knowing sense about me. The rest, as...
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.
