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...
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...
What My Day Will Look Like
It's a snow day! I woke up feeling quite sick, so it's a good thing that work has been called off for the day. I'm sure I would have been fine and would have been able to power through, but when life hands you a snow day, you take full advantage. Today, I want to Make waffles Binge...
Stuff & Things 1/21
>>This week has been a weird one, friends. I'm sure you can imagine. After spending 10 days back home, diving back into reality was a little tough to do. I've eaten more sushi than one should probably admit this week. Apparently that's my comfort food. >>I've...
The Ultimate Waterproof Mascara Smackdown
If there's anything to learn from crying your eyes out for days on end, it's what waterproof mascaras actually live up to their claims. So leave it to me, for the sake of content, to quiz my aunts, cousins, sisters, and even my mom to find out the truth in the midst of collectively crying. I...
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.
