[ Kind Words ]

  • "It already shifted how I explore, identify and share my stories. I'm often tempted to think that I don't have stories to share-it's easy to think that everyone else has the "great" stories and that MY stories aren't as powerful as THEIR stories. But your frameworks definitely shifted that for me."

    Nicole Annette

    Founder, The Journal Coach

  • "This book is such a work of heart... anyone that experiences the work contained within these pages is on a soul journey. Your guidance is as gentle as it is courageous."

  • "I found this book at just the right time. I was feeling lost in my journey... This book helped me find what I needed within, rooting in my stories, and moving forward with the power I saw in myself. It has guided me to a brighter and more sincere story I can tell the world."

    Jessica Ang,

    Social Media Manager

  • "Reading this book is like having a wise, compassionate friend walk beside you as you uncover the stories that shape who you are. Unlike other workbooks, Find Yourself Here doesn't just give you questions to answer. It invites you in, asks you to stay a while, and offers the perfect blend of structure and freedom so you can tell your stories on your terms. This is a rare and powerful creative tool."

    Amber Beckett

    Founder, The Hello Code

  • "I've been wanting to share my stories too, but it always seemed daunting and I never knew how to get started, until I chanced upon this workbook. With a step-by-step guide and examples (of Joey's stories!), I now feel more ready than ever to get started."

[Here’s how Find Yourself Here supports your story work.]

  • Without feeling like a course, this workbook reaches beyond simpler journals, to bring you into frameworks of empowered self-inquiry & self-expression as you release, honor, and share your stories. Find Yourself Here is grounded in decolonizing story work & care-focused narrative inquiry, centering safety & sovereignty for your stories & voice.

  • This digital bundle includes both a spacious PDF version for the scrawlers & an interactive Google Docs version for the typers (or voice-dictators). Choose one or use both. I want you to have as many entry points into your self-expression as possible.

    Soft-cover version available soon (see FAQs).

  • Choose your level of support for your story writing. Take the prompts and run with them, letting thoughts emerge and allowing the story that wants to be told find its way to the page. Or explore the suggestions for structure & development. Plan your story experience, then build it brick by brick.

  • My stories are tucked in here too. If the blank page is feeling like too big a mountain to climb, take a peek at how I answered the prompt. You just might find your permission to put word to thought after reading my stories. And you might feel like you just made a new friend. (Hi, it's me. I love you.)

  • Find all your stories in one place. Whether a future version of you wants to take 2025 you out for coffee, or current you wants an organized story bank system to streamline your publishing, the Final Draft Notebook will safeguard your stories for when you're ready.


  • Restore trust in your voice and calm in your nervous system by shifting your relationship with vulnerability. Drop-down menus and lists guide you to decide when, where, how, and with whom you share your stories, helping you integrate a framework of sovereign choice & intentional storytelling.

  • Your time inside the pages of Find Yourself Here is supported by images of Mother Earth and all the creatures & plants who are rooting for you. You'll find my love notes scattered throughout too. We're walking with you. You're not doing this work alone.

Hi, Friend... I'm Joey.

I can’t remember when I first started calling myself “storyteller” but I know my email signature has read “Learner - Adventurer - Storyteller” since my Hotmail days.

I started telling stories to keep the peace. Whether I was telling stories or pulling stories out of my family members, there would be moments of deep joy & connection in otherwise chaotic surroundings.

Storytelling as coping matured into storytelling as healing when I deepened my practice in narrative self-inquiry (research) and creative self-expression (spoken word poetry).

My studies in decolonization & Kundalini yoga helped me anchor the practices of my story work in: coming home to my body, healing my nervous system, and finding my sovereignty – rooted in joy-making, creativity, and communion.

Along the way, storytelling as connection, as belonging, as liberation became the throughline in my travels around the globe, my teaching in classrooms, my speaking on mics, becoming a wife & mother, and, now, the work that connects me to you.

Story work allows me to free myself & others continuously. I hope you get free too.
