Welcome!

We're so glad you stopped by. ‘2nd Chance Joy’ is my shop and project inspired by the knowledge that the things we choose to wear, share, or express ourselves with can one of our most powerful ways to share connection with others—

 —and that helping people feel genuinely seen and heard is one of the most profoundly loving things we can do.  Throughout this store, you’ll tend to find themes of neurodiversity and inclusion, humor, creativity, stories, mental health, and self-confidence. 

About our websites: 
2ndChanceJoy.com
This (very work-in-progress) 2ndChanceJoy site that you're currently reading on is part of the foundation of this project. 💙 I've imagined so much that I hope to continue building and realizing here.

2nd Chance Joy on Etsy
Etsy is where you'll find our (also brand-new) store. I've set it up to work in tandem with this combination of foundation and passion-project that you'll find on our full website. 

As the logistics of international taxes and shipping regulations are not practical for our business at this time, our store is currently available online only within the domestic United States.   

Even on the busiest days, I’ve always believed that sharing a warm greeting, helping someone discover anything they're excited about, or simply offering a quick moment of human connection, are the best parts of any service, retail, or community setting.

I hope you'll experience a little of that here. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!!  (That goes triple if you happen to have found something you love, and chosen to help support this project and our family!) But however you happened to have come, and however you happen to leave for now, I'm so happy to have shared this space with you!
