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.”
Some things.
I did it again. I dropped off the face of the planet just like I promised I wouldn't. OG blog friends -- do any of you just sort of feel...old in the online space these days? I ditched socials, at least in the consistent consuming/posting kind of way back in May of...
The Truth About Quitting My Job: Glitter Bubbles Not Included
For those of you who think I have my life so together right now, let me confess this: I've been secretly using my husband's toothbrush for weeks because I keep forgetting to buy one. Let me make something clear. I needed a change. I wanted a change. I did not inherit any money. I wasn't...
Defying Gravity
This morning, I'm sitting in my tiny little office. My cup of coffee is too hot to sip on, a suitcase sits open on my bed waiting to be filled, and today is my last day in my twenties. I spent the weekend in NYC. My husband surprised me with the trip to celebrate my 30th birthday, but it turned...
The End and The Beginning
As I approach thirty, I've found myself on a journey, abandoning everything that once defined me on a quest to find my truest self. It's been interesting, identifying the parts of myself that I've worn like a cloak all these years only to now realize they weren't right. I settled. I accepted a...
Stay
The weird thing is, I lived in the same home, in the same room, my entire childhood until the day I left for college. So you might be surprised to hear that I felt itchy, desperate, panicked to move a few months ago for the umpteenth time in my adult life. Everything felt wrong. Things...
HI, I'M JOEY
Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.

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.
