Meet Arden
Before there was Etsy, there were gas stations that sold keychains with names on them. I hated that I had a name that was never, ever, on a keychain. But, as I got older, I started to come around on my name. Arden Joy means ardently, fervently, full of joy. It became an invitation to seek joy, to live a life of joy, and to bring joy to others.
Being joyful - at least my version - is not about putting on rose-colored glasses. It’s about finding ways to let the good, the healing, and the hopeful take root within the struggle, the mess, and the pain.
My passions have allowed me to create a full life as a queer, Jewish, wife, mother, and creator. I am a Reiki Master, a yoga teacher (RYT-200), a traveler who is afraid of flying (but does it anyway), and a champion for the oxford comma.
Whether it’s bringing diversity and creativity to fiction novels, inviting mindfulness into the precious time of new parenthood, or making travel more accessible, I seek to bring all my skills into making the world a little more expansive, a little more beautiful, and a little more, well, joyful!
