The Joy Guide. Musings and chronicles of a feral, feminine, soul-led life. What began as tough-ass life challenges — grief, burnout, heartbreak — has now become a sacred archive of creativity, resilience, and grace.

Through music, movement, ritual, and reflection, I’ve transmuted my lived experience into stories — raw, detailed, and deeply human. This is where I share them.

The journey changed me. And it might help set you free, too. With dedication, courage, and radical compassion toward myself, I watched the pain morph into wisdom. And that wisdom turned into blessing.

Joy is our birthright. We are meant to exist from that place — now and always.

 

Welcome to the JOY Guide
