About Us
We came together as an accountability group of authors supporting one another in our book writing journeys. We discovered a true bond and cohesiveness among us that spilled over into business and life and our desire to share joy with the world. We decided to make a go at creating a podcast to both grow our skills and share our voices--and the dynamic journey of Joy Talk Show was created.
