Welcome, sleepy friend

I’m Joanne, and I’m so glad you’ve found your way here. I’m a storyteller, narrator, and the creator of Drift Off.

I created Drift Off with one simple hope: to offer a peaceful space where people can slow down, quiet the mind, and find comfort at the end of a busy day.

Before Drift Off, much of my work was rooted in caring for others. I’ve worked as both a registered nurse and massage therapist, supporting people through comfort, healing, and care. Home is a beautiful corner of Canada, surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and the peaceful beauty of wine country. I live here with my husband and care for our wonderful daughter, Emily, who has special needs.

I find joy in simple comforts — quiet walks, reading, cooking, spending time with friends, and creating the cozy stories and episodes that have become such a meaningful part of my life.

What began as a love of storytelling has grown into a community of listeners who return each night looking for calm, comfort, and rest. Alongside the podcast, I’ve created audiobooks, a premium listening experience, and my Dream Shop — a collection inspired by peaceful living and everyday comfort.

At the heart of everything I create is the same intention: to bring a sense of peace, comfort, and gentleness into the lives of others.

Whether you found me through the podcast, my audiobooks, or this cozy little corner of the internet, I’m so grateful you’re here.

 

Your friend and host!
