About me

Hello — I'm Joy. This is my diary: honest, first-person stories about the life of a woman — love and the fights that change us, motherhood and the body it leaves you with, heartbreak and the slow work of healing, and the small rituals that put me back together on an ordinary morning.

A notebook, a coffee and reading glasses on a desk in warm morning light — Most of it gets written here, early, before the house wakes up.

This is a personal blog, not professional advice. I'm not a counsellor, therapist, coach or clinic. When I write about anything to do with health, please read it as my own experience — not guidance. I share it because someone once needed to hear it plainly, and so did I.

If you'd like the longer version, it's here: My Story and What Joy Is Mine.
