Guest Bio: Joe Van Wyk inspires people to find inner peace through their creative endeavors. As an author, coach, professional photographer, visual storyteller, and graphic artist, Joe brings a wealth of experience and insight to his readers and clients.  Joe’s journey toward inner peace began with his own personal struggles with depression and anxiety. Through the transformative power of mindful photography, he discovered a pathway to present-moment awareness, which enabled him to confront and overcome his inner demons. Today, his mission is to share these techniques with others, empowering them to achieve a sense of inner calm and fulfillment.  An award-winning photographer, Joe spent many years in corporate creative roles, including brand marketing, catalog and newsletter layout, business photography, and videography. Over the years, he has honed his craft and shared his passion for photography through various mediums, including street photography and visual storytelling.  Joe’s current book, The Mindful Photography Field Guide: 15 Smartphone Photography Practices for Inner Peace, epitomizes his mission to make mindfulness accessible to all so they can experience peace and presence in everyday life. A devout Christian, Joe shows how all people can benefit from these practices regardless of their religious outlook. His goal is to offer those struggling a path toward authentic living so they can embrace their true potential.  Outside of his professional pursuits, Joe finds solace in the natural beauty of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where he is often accompanied by his faithful companion, Frankie the Doodle.
