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.”
What bubbles to the surface?
I saw a tweet the other day from Anna Kendrick that said I guess I'll never be able to lie to myself about all the shit I would do if I just had the time. And while the tweet itself made me laugh, I made it pretty clear in a previous blog post that you don't have to...
Chasing Dreams: Get Specific About What’s Stopping You
There hasn't ever been anything in my life that I wanted that I didn't somehow make happen. Before you click out and think I'm an asshole, bear with me. I'm a compulsive person. I think I want a haircut? I need it that afternoon. I decide I want a lipstick? I'm...
Stuff & Things 1/28
>> I am the most vocal sick person on the planet. I can deal with most sickness, but when it's a sore throat, you'll hear about it. And you'll hear about it until it's gone. I cannot handle a sore throat. So basically, I want to scratch my throat out at this moment....
Get Undone Faster: Simple MIcellar Water vs Garnier Fructis Micellar Water
I don't know about you, but when I walk through the door at the end of the day...I'm done. Spent. The idea of doing anything else seems out of the question. I'm at the age when taking care of my skin isn't really an option anymore. But if you knew how often I have an...
Mistakes & Failures
We spend a lot of time stuck inside of choices that we know were mistakes because we are too proud or too embarrassed to just admit that we changed our minds. What's wrong with trying something? I think that's maybe why so many of us are afraid to try anything. Because what happens if we try it...
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.
