Speaking

Joy brings a rare combination of lived experience and professional depth to every engagement. Whether keynoting a leadership summit or giving her testimony of faith at a women's retreat, her talks meet audiences where they are ~ and invite them somewhere new.

"Her warmth and humor drew me in; her stories and candor kept me there,
and I left feeling lighter, with a new perspective."

~ New Ridge Fellowship Women's Retreat Attendee
