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.”
Business burnout: my experience + a free guide to avoid it yourself
In June of 2017, I wrote in my journal I feel like we're on the brink of something--both with [Business name] and Jonathan's job. The crazy thing is, my intuition was spot on. The bad thing is, I didn't realize then that we were on the brink of calamity. It was only...
Why I’ll Never Be A Fashion Blogger
When Kristina blogged about this Old Navy dress, I didn't hesitate. I immediately ordered it. I've never done that before--ordered something a blogger suggested. But it seemed so easy! And hey, it was on sale. Win-win. Okay, story time. When it arrived, I couldn't...
When You’re Waiting for A Marriage Proposal
Julep: Michaela My junior year of college, one of our friends confided in me that he'd bought a ring and was proposing to his girlfriend. Instead of feeling happy and excited, I was overwhelmed with jealousy. It didn't matter that we were only twenty years old, but my boyfriend and I had...
All the Fall Things Make Me Giddy!
I hit Target the other day (are you even surprised?) and saw that the Airwick fall scents were on sale for $4.99 (two inserts and a plug in). I didn't even think twice, boop boop boop, in to my basket went three different packs, thank you very much. When I got home, J and I were in a hurry...

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.
