You don’t need to be fixed.
You need permission to become.
An invitation to find your rhythm:
BE, THRIVE, EXPAND, and WORK.

THIS IS YOUR INVITATION ✴︎ BEGIN WHERE YOU ARE ✴︎
Isn’t it tiring? That voice that whispers "Am I enough?" again and again in spite of everything you’ve already achieved.
You're exhausted from performing, from pretending you “have it all figured out”, from questioning your worth day in and day out… This book is for you.
What This Book Offers
We’ve all had enough motivational speeches, and I’m not here to give you another. I’m offering a new rhythm for our lives. This is my invitation to you to stop performing and start becoming.
Through the rhythm of BE, THRIVE, EXPAND, WORK, you'll discover:
BE: How to meet your younger self with compassion, practice inner forgiveness, and remember you were never a mistake.
THRIVE: How to move from survival mode into soul-level health and build a life that actually feels like yours.
EXPAND: How to outgrow old stories, grieve what no longer fits, and say yes to more of who you really are.
WORK: How to build sustainable rhythms, protect your boundaries, and honor the quiet maintenance no one claps for.
Inside the Pages.
Begin Where You Are isn’t a lengthy, heavy book or an instruction guide to take to heart. It’s a chat with an understanding friend, a back-and-forth conversation that unfolds differently depending on where you are and what you need.
-
Read it slow. Read it seasonally.
Return to chapters when you need them. Mark your journey in the margins: circle moments that give you permission, draw stars next to practices you want to try, underline phrases that challenge old beliefs. You'll gain something different each time you read it, because each time, you'll be in a different place in your own rhythm of becoming.
What People Are Saying
“An awesome book. Deeply personally and vulnerable, while surprisingly embracing of what other people might be experiencing.
This is going to bless so many people. As I wipe away tears, I’m feeling the need to RSVP to an invitation to work on myself even more.”
Branden
“Your writing is just as soulful and enriching as your singing and songwriting. And I was struck the whole time reading it that you’ve succeeded at stacking some really profound spiritual wisdom into this boom in a way that is so accessible.
It’s hard to think someone could get through this and not feel the grace it’s inviting them to embrace.”
Mylan
From Joel’s Heart: An Excerpt from the Author’s Note
Thank you for joining me through this rhythm of becoming. Writing this book has been one of the most life-giving experiences of my life. I’ll admit, I don’t have all the answers, but I am willing to keep asking honest questions and respond with a yes.
To all those who feel stuck, I hope these pages remind you that you can begin again. You can imagine a life beyond what you once believed was possible.
I hope this book met you wherever you are in your own cycle of Be, Thrive, Expand, and Work. And I hope it gave you the courage to keep becoming, one breath, one choice, at a time.
You're not broken.
You're becoming.
And the world needs who you're becoming.
— Joel
