Hi, I’m Joey
My parents’ separation and divorce brought a ton of pain and problems into my life. Searching for help, I was shocked by the lack of resources for young people from broken families.
And so, I started Restored to build resources for them. I’m not a psychologist or PhD. Instead, I offer:
~20 years of finding solutions to the pain and problems from my parents’ breakup
10+ years of mentorship
7+ years of counseling
5+ years of researching this topic and mentoring young people from broken families

I’ve been a guest on Relevant Radio’s The Drew Mariani Show, EWTN’s Women Made New, and Jason Evert’s Lust is Boring podcast.
