Ma’lady, it’s been a hot minute, and I’m coming in hot with a VIBE.
Welcome to my digital magazine, where I am bringing to you all the elements of skill, snippets of wisdom and heartfelt learnings to truly LIVE your life. Here’s where you are most empowered to “take what you want, and leave the rest.” Not all advice I give will apply to you. If you know someone who could use the concepts I’m sharing…share it.
What to expect?
There will be several columns throughout the month covering various topics as it relates to relationships, career and life. My hope is that you choose courage over conformity every step of the way.
I envision you grabbing a cup of coffee and taking a moment to read a column, pause, ponder and come back to relevant sections. I hope it stays in your inbox to revisit when you need a shift, a boost or a perspective change. Plus, you can always come into Substack to read previous editions. This isn’t another place to receive loads of emails. It’s gentler than that.
These topics are thoughtfully curated, and of course, you can leave comments, and send questions to “ask Joanna,” for future editions. Maybe someday I’ll have a physical magazine you can get shipped to you (I’m dreaming over here, and the phrase I keep saying, “Wherever the winds of time take me.”
Last year, I was envisioning what I wanted to do. I saw myself, sitting at a coffee shop, headphones on 🎧, and writing emails. So here we are.
I love writing them, I love your replies and believe life unfolds beautifully like a flower. I’m learning to harness the force of life instead of resist, wear myself out, and strive my way to any success or achievement. Any achievers in the house? 😅📈
So with that, welcome to the first edition ma’lady 🎩.
This week, as a free subscriber, you will receive access to the entire edition. For future editions, premium subscribers will receive access to the full edition + voice notes and exclusive content.
I hope you’ll join me. 🌲🚗

Someone said to me once “I feel like I envision people popping in their headphones to listen to you in the car, doing house chores, or on their lunch breaks.” And I was like omg voice notes. Anyone that knows me, understands that to be friends with me, means to have voicenotes.
My Substack is my way of getting in the car with you and growing deeper roots.
I’m driving, you bring the snacks.
Why Substack?
Substack is an archive so you can go back to anything I’ve written, spoken about or find the community of people doing the same thing. Deep and meaningful relationships is what I believe in the most, and social media is not that. When thousands of people see your content, but don’t know where to convene, my dm’s get packed, and things are missed. Substack is a cozy fire, on the beach, where we can breathe, listen to the sound of the wave, and remember who the f*ck we are. And I do mean WE because sometimes I have to remind myself of my own power too. The folks you meet here, you’ll probably meet in person some day with the Joanna in Montana LIVE events. So many juicy things happening, and it starts with Substack.
Get in the car, let’s GO!
xoxo,
Joanna
PS»I love licorice, so can we get some of that? What snacks are you bringing?
