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.”
My dream workday & how to discover your own
While it’s super fun to get dreamy, I believe it’s actually essential to get an idea of what your dream workday looks like. Why? Because without an awareness of how you want to show up every day, you run the risk of establishing habits and routines that you don’t love and don’t work for you.
Productivity Hacks: Stuff & Things
Running a business + working full time means that I don't have time to be lazy, uninspired, or to procrastinate. It's easy to get overwhelmed, but the other side of that coin is to just come to a full stop, ignoring all responsibility. Let's not let that happen, okay? Your space...
Talking Life: Taking Risks & Being Afraid
For a while now, I've wanted brave tattooed in teeny tiny script on the underside of my wrist. The act itself would take tremendous courage because it would openly go against my upbringing. Never mind the fact that I already have a tattoo. But that's my little secret, hidden...
Lately: What I’ve Read
I don't read the back of books. I either dive in blind, based on author loyalty, or based on recommendations from friends (blog and IRL). Because of that, I'm not going to summarize these books for you, I'll simply share my thoughts. I'm not so great at summarizing without giving...
Combat The Overwhelm
The feeling of overwhelm is in your head. And it's telling you that things feel chaotic. And you guys? I've been knee deep in the overwhelm lately. I've been hitting snooze daily for the first time in my life. Work feels impossible, and instead of being productive, I've been procrastinating....
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.
