From Survival to Prosperity
You can always switch it up.
Reinvent yourself.
Redefine who you are, as many times as you need.
That’s exactly what I’m doing.
That’s exactly what Whole with Joy is doing.
For so many of us, there’s so much to unlearn and shed—
about who we think we are,
about who we’ve been told we must be in this world.
Over the past year, something’s been stirring in my spirit.
A quiet but persistent knowing:
it was time to change how I approach healing and liberation work.
Everything has its place.
But the confines of therapy no longer held me.
What I’d been taught a therapist is, does, or can be within these current systems...
it wasn’t working for me anymore.
I needed to be free from that box.
So I began to break free.
I stepped into what felt like a new identity at the time—a transformational healer.
But eventually, even that didn’t feel right.
It wasn’t mine.
It was something that had been handed to me, something I tried on because it felt safer.
It was familiar to the industry…recognized, respected.
But that was also the problem.
It didn’t feel natural.
It didn’t feel true.
It didn’t reflect the essence of Whole with Joy, what it is and what it’s here to do in this world.
So I let it go.
It was scary. Uncertain.
Because what was coming alive in me didn’t have a model.
I couldn’t look to anyone else for a blueprint.
So I got quiet.
I prayed.
I listened.
Then one day—it came.
A quickening in my spine.
A whisper in my spirit:
Prosperity Coach.
That’s when I knew.
Prosperity is what I discovered on my own healing journey.
From facing pain, shame, and fear.
From transforming trauma.
From unlearning the lies I was fed as a Black woman in this country, in this world.
From returning to the joy that lives within me.
I realized: prosperity isn’t something that can be given to me.
It’s something I remembered.
It’s who I am.
Prosperity rooted in being, not in proving.
In truth, not performance.
In love, not lack.
We are not here to suffer endlessly.
We are not meant to live in constant struggle.
Yes, life brings pain.
Yes, grief and complexity will shape us.
But we are not here to remain in suffering.
We are not here to survive off scraps.
We are not here to live in scarcity—
not when the Earth herself shows us, again and again,
the miracle of regeneration,
the truth of abundance.
So here I am.
A Prosperity Coach—
redefining what prosperity truly means.
I guide others to heal scarcity at its roots.
To remember the abundance already alive within.
To reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies, their ancestors, the land, and God. From that place, they begin to create lives rooted in joy, purpose, and the heart’s deepest knowing.
Prosperity starts within.
And this is just the beginning.
Join me on this new journey.
Because prosperity is not about how much you have.
It’s about how deeply you trust and honor yourself.
It’s feeling safe in your body, your relationships, your truth.
It’s knowing your worth isn’t tied to how much you give, produce, or prove.
It’s cultivating joy that isn’t dependent on outside validation.
It’s living in alignment with your values, your boundaries, your desires—
and what nourishes you.
It’s feeling rooted in your purpose, and knowing why you’re here.
Knowing who you truly are—
and being anchored in that truth,
no longer defined by what you’ve been told to be.
It’s being at home in your wholeness.
Just allowing yourself to be.
This is the heart of my work as a Prosperity Coach.
This is what Whole with Joy is all about.

About the Author:
Joy Long is a mother, writer, healing artist, ecotherapist and prosperity guide devoted to remembering wholeness in a world shaped by fragmentation. She is the founder of Whole with Joy, a healing movement rooted in embodiment, Earth wisdom, and joy.
Joy’s journey has moved through community mental health, private practice, ecotherapy, movement, ritual, and creative expression. It has also been shaped by years of travel and learning across the African diaspora, the Americas, and other land-based cultures, where the wisdom of place, the centrality of rhythm and movement, and ancestral ways of knowing deepened her understanding of what it means to live in right relationship with self, community, and Earth. Motherhood, ancestral memory, and a lifelong relationship with nature continue to shape both her work and her way of being.
Rooted in earth-based spirituality, somatic healing, attachment healing, and Black feminist and eco-womanist traditions, Joy creates spaces for people to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the living world. Through individual prosperity work, organizational wellness consulting, and community healing offerings, her work invites a remembering: that prosperity is not something we earn, but something we embody when we return home to who we are together, with dignity, pleasure, and power.
