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.”
Dear little one, (A strange life update)
I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I've worried since the moment I found out you existed. I worried if you would stick around. I worried about being a terrible mother. I worried if you would be okay. I worried if I was feeding you enough, if I picked the...
What it looks like
A few months ago, my neighbor came upstairs all excited. I just took this test that tells you what your love language is. You guys have to take it! I was pretty sure I already knew what mine was, but I played along anyway. The test confirmed my suspicions: acts of service. Studies have shown that...
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...

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.
