Testimonials

Joy was able to help me see some things more clearly and in a different light. I was thinking I had to do multiple things, but she helped me realize what was most in alignment of what I want to do with my life. Speaking with her was so easy. Joys are awesome! :)

Joy, Calligrapher

I came into my one-on-one session with Joy feeling overwhelmed, and unsure of the next steps to take in a business partnership. My session with Joy helped me solidify a plan where I felt confident and able to negotiate the partnership successfully. This session was a great investment, and I plan to book more in the future.


Lizzie Assa, Workspace for Children

Joy has a very unique skillset…one that’s at the cross section of creativity and business. This gives entrepreneurs like myself the chance to see our business through her fresh perspective. She presented a plethora of interesting ideas, and I’m grateful for the time we were able to connect!

Michael, Musician

My coaching sessions with Joy have reignited the fire in my belly after feeling burnt out the past year. I had been doubting myself and my work and having Joy's eyes on my business, brand and work was just what I needed to pull me out from my hole. My session and the follow up feedback from Joy helped me to acknowledge my growth and create a plan to help me reach my goals. Joy actually made it feel doable! I loved my session with Joy so much, I booked a second one! Joy not only has a wealth of knowledge from her vast experience, she genuinely has you in mind when giving her advice.

Sandra, Creative Director

My one-on-one business coaching with Joy has been one of the best investments I've made for my business. 

I knew from watching her and her business grow and knowing her background as a graphic designer, she was the perfect mentor for me. I had a deadline to implement her feedback and then follow up on next steps. My website looks way better now, and I feel much more confident with my design packages. Thank you so much Joy! 

Karla Pámanes, Graphic Designer

Before working with Joy, I was feeling overwhelmed listening to multiple podcasts and reading several books about business and entrepreneurship. I felt overwhelmed, lost, and wasn't sure what step to take next. During our 1:1 session, Joy helped clarify where I should be spending my time and energy. She answered every single question I had, and by the end of our session I felt confident on my next steps to grow my women's sleep health company. I am excited to put the plan into action and see what happens.

Valerie Cacho MD, CEO of Sleephoria

Speaking with Joy was like speaking to an old friend- a very decisive and business savvy friend.  I was seeking some support and reassurance when faced with some big company decisions and our conversation was comfortable and fluid. I appreciated how she was able to make our short time together very impactful and conclusive.  

Erica Daking, Kitchen Mouse

I couldn’t be happier with my coaching call with Joy. Our conversation was filled with so many gems that kept popping up weeks and weeks after our call. Joy’s style of rapid fire ideas and inspiration were directly on target for my brand. Best money I’ve spent in a long time and I know my business is reaping the rewards. I am very grateful. Thank you, Joy!

Meri Cherry, Meri Cherry Art Studio

Joy's call quickly put my head space into a forward motion of deep thinking about my brand, and my mission, and as such, rearranged the stuck cogs of my mind to shift into gear and changed my perception about my brand entirely.

Having a consultation with a tangibly successful and lovely human like Joy was the catalyst to reigniting the flame as to why I began it all in the first place. I hadn’t seen or felt that flame in so long and thought it had gone out. 

If you are on the edge of deciding to put your business up for deep contemplation and having this call with Joy—I’ll say—please do it. You’re your own trailblazer in this life, but having a really knowledgeable push in the right direction is sometimes the making of that success!

Zoey Tzfanya, Spring Time In Brooklyn

My consulting session with Joy has already produced results! I'm a social entrepreneur in Detroit managing a nonprofit that I founded as well as a business that relates to my nonprofit/community development work. I feel like I'm constantly juggling projects, people and opportunities. My conversation with Joy was so encouraging! As I heard her story and how she prioritizes her business and her family, I got new ideas about how I can make shifts that will create greater results through the work I'm doing.

I'm confident that I can move forward, grow a larger team, accept more opportunities and have it all work. I'm more relaxed and confident in my daily work and feel empowered to go to the next level.

Kimberly Buffington, Social Entrepreneur

I've have known of Joy for quite a long time since she was one of the first bloggers I ever discovered back in 2007. In the over 13 years I've been present on the internet, building up two businesses of my own, I've seen her business blossom.

So I knew that when I had a new project I wanted advice on, Joy would be the perfect person to ask. She asked poignant questions that made me rethink my whole strategy, and she even gave me homework which required hours of deep work.

Joy's background in speaking at conferences and working with advertisers gave me an insider's perspective that I wouldn't be able to get otherwise. Overall, it was money and time very well spent. In fact, I'm going to schedule another consultation with her because her advice is that invaluable!

Alice Yoo, Skylar Yoo

Getting to work with Joy on a business coaching session was a dream come true and she far exceeded my expectations.  I could tell she had done her research and had great advice and suggestions for me to take action on right away, but she also challenged me to dream bigger and create long-term strategies as well. 

She is SO generous and forthcoming with her knowledge and wisdom.  Since our call, she even has continued to cheer me on in one way or another and her encouragement alone was worth the investment.  If you’re looking to add more JOY to your business, this is the perfect place to start. 

Maghon Taylor, All She Wrote Notes

Signing up for a business coaching session with Joy was an incredible way to follow through on a personal resolution by getting guidance from such a creative and professional trailblazer. I had been putting off taking the next steps with a project, but the session and follow-up feedback has helped me to recognize my own progress and to solidify my vision moving forward.  

I could tell that she put a great deal of work into our call beforehand; this meant a lot to me as the client because I'm also a loyal social media follower so I know how much she has going on at any given time.

Erin Sanders

Signing up for the Business Coaching Session with Joy was by far one of the smartest
decisions I've made for my company/brand thus far
. She has been such an inspiration over the past several years, so being able to chat with her and pick her brain was such a gift.

She went above and beyond every step of the way. I couldn't get over how generous and focused she was. We covered everything I wanted to touch on and more. I'm thrilled she is offering these sessions because it's clearly just one more talent she should be sharing with the world. Snag one if you can! 

Erin Campbell, ABCs of the '80s

I was hesitant to make the investment as I am a very small business owner. But I have always been a fan of Joy, her work ethic, family balance, and of course, her dance moves!  I did talk to another person who worked with Joy and she came so highly recommended, I knew I couldn't miss out!

I felt as though she thoroughly reviewed my information, made me feel special, and provided a really efficient phone call.  She is just as kind, knowledgeable and professional as I had hoped for and I really felt like I made progress.

I got more out of the session than I had expected and would definitely recommend this intimate service to anyone considering the unique opportunity! 

Liza Savary, Ruggish

My session with Joy was inspiring and so productive for an 1 hour session as she made sure to gather a lot of information about our company and was ready to dive in. I loved the way she structured feedback on our website and Instagram, giving me very actionable steps. She also checked in after a week which held me accountable for making progress on what we had talked about.

It was nice to have a moment to look at my goals and get some real inspiration that led to very unique brainstorming sessions between my team and I. 100% recommend it!
