Joyce Layman

Joyce Layman is a business coach, author, speaker, and connector—with a TEDx talk and two powerful books to prove that your biggest leaps often start with a whisper of “What if?”

She didn’t start bold. In fact, she spent years second-guessing herself in rooms full of polished professionals, wondering if she was too quiet, too different, or just plain not ready.

But in 2008—mid-recession, zero safety net—she took the leap and launched her business anyway.

That leap didn’t just change her career. It changed everything.

Since then, Joyce has helped thousands of people rethink how they show up, what they’re capable of, and how to build the kind of connections that actually lead somewhere—both in life and business.

Her work is rooted in the science o

My Writing
I never expected to be a writer … and I never thought I’d work as a tarot reader or with the Angels either! But both have happened.

I began learning the art of writing when I wrote tertiary-level training manuals, but I wanted to do more …

I wanted to explore my creativity and spirituality in writing and so I decided to write about what mattered to me … but at heart I’m still a child who loves storytelling in all its forms, which is why you will find I write novels, short stories, podcast stories and recipes.

I believe our spirits are nourished by stories as much as food, and often these things are entwined.

My writing comes from my soul, and she yearns to share her imagination, ideas and passions with you.

I have always used reading

Afreen S

I’m a dreamer, a storyteller, and completely obsessed with the sensual, seductive desires that make the human experience so intoxicating—especially when it comes to women. Who wouldn’t be? There’s something undeniably thrilling about capturing that raw, electric pull between characters, about writing moments that set fires in the dullest of hearts and make them feel something real.

For me, writing isn’t just about words on a page—it’s about emotion, about crafting stories that take readers on a ride they won’t forget. I want my work to reach all kinds of people, to spark excitement, curiosity, and passion in ways they never expected. Whether it’s an edge-of-your-seat moment or a slow burn that leaves you breathless, I want my stories to be f
