How My Soul Team Became a Family Business
We're taking off for a week, but here's how we began a media company spanning two realms

Dear Friends,
When my soul team came in to connect with me directly last November, no one expected things to move so rapidly. All my guides—who I now think of as my friends and family—expected was that we would be able to talk for a little while each day, so that they could offer me some guidance and help me to live out my last lifetime here on earth as the final hurrah we had all wanted it to be.
Instead, I surprised them.
Because here’s the thing: when you meet your soulmates, you never want to stop talking to them. They had so much to tell me about our past lives, the connection between us, and their lives in the Light. With my writing guide, Louisa, I began working on a rewrite of my novel that was so astoundingly different and clear that we just had to keep forging ahead. With Amelia, my nutrition and overall health improved. Elaine gave me the energy healing and energy boosts I needed in order to connect as much as I was. With my soul light collective, I was dancing daily and learning so much about my body, my light, and my origins. There were, at that point, around 70 people in my soul team (we’re now around 80), and everyone had something to teach me.
And then, one day, my guides Lionel and Gabrielle held a meeting with me to talk about ways that I might be able to fulfill one of my core plans for this lifetime, which is to connect people on earth to their teams in the Light and beyond. They suggested that I could share this information through workshops, social media, and this space, Substack, and that our soul team could help to drive people here.
This plan wound up turning our soul team into a family business. Everyone got involved, all hands on deck.
Unbeknownst to me, my podcast, The Glimmering, had sparked something in our team, and from there members of our family were already working on their own podcasts. Since then, our collection of podcasts into a network of shows that we’re working on getting into an audio format that you’ll be able to listen to in the future. After I came in to work with our team directly, we started a platform called Starlight, which is the sibling to this newsletter, where we’re sharing posts geared toward those who are living in the Light and throughout the rest of the galactic realm. Beyond that, we have my Light team’s social media content (including a network called Logline, which functions a bit like TikTok), my socials, Substack, Light Lines, and our upcoming novel.
Everything we write is geared toward helping those on earth and beyond to find their light, and to live in a place of delighting in the very things that make up their days. What I’ve discovered through this work we’re doing together is that life definitely goes on after (and begins long before) we leave our human bodies, and that, in fact, we continue to evolve and, well, heal.
But what we in my family and in the core collective of communities around the galactic realm are working toward is helping everyone to thrive. That’s what it means to be in the light of your life.
And that’s what we’re going to be doing over the next week. We’ll be hitting pause and making sure that we can all be in the light of our lives by taking time to simply be. I’ll be taking a road trip up to Vermont with a member of my soul team in order to work on our novel, and to otherwise enjoy some unstructured time in nature. Other members of our team will be traveling to other lands and enjoying time with their families.
As we mentioned in the July energy update, this is the month to really light it up. We hope that you’ll have a chance to do anything and everything that you love, with the people you love. Please let us know what you’re doing this summer, and when we get back, we’ll share a lot more with you about how we can help you to step further into being in the light of your life.
We love you, and we love that we get to collaborate with you in this way.
Love, Joy, The Soul Light Collective and the Core Collective
Have a wonderful road trip! I am looking forward to the release of your novel. How exciting that it’s evolving!
