About The First Story of Intentions
The Introduction To The Inner Child
Like many of you, I’ve spent most of my life with other people’s voices in my head telling me my value, who I should or could not be, and who I was or would never be. I was voiceless figuratively and literally. Until I was able to heal my inner child, I was unable to have personal intimacy with “The Self,” let alone anyone else. I felt like a robot going through life doing what others expected while I was, personally lost, sad, lonely, and numb. The only thing that gave me joy during that time of my life was helping other people.
I had to learn to love myself, which meant, I had to be honest with myself, to face and accept that I was miserable and that where I was, wasn’t where I wanted to be and that was NOT what I wanted for myself, my children.
Writing this book released me from all fear, allowing me to be completely open and intimate about my journey to self-acceptance, my life’s purpose, my gifts, and God-given talents so that you would know who I am, flaws, and all. I would never ask you to be intimate if I wasn’t willing to be intimate, myself.
This book has been a part of my life’s purpose and my most intimate work to date. I want my life to be a living example of what intentional conscious living targeted at the inner child’s subconsciousness can do in your life.

My life is a living example of the true power of intentions and yours can be too!
When I’m asked what I’d like my life and legacy to be, I say… “To Set THE precedent. To lead with courage, kindness, unconditional love, acceptance, respect, integrity, and support for self and others.
My intention is for you to use this book as your roadmap to learn how to target your intentions toward your inner child for healing and connection so that you, too can become the change you want to see in your life, the lives of your children and your children’s children for all generations to come.
In a world of noise, Juniper Jillian Joy is a voice to listen to. She is setting the precedent. Like many of us, she spent her early life without a voice of her own, her head filled with other people’s values and opinions dictating her self-image. Although these external expectations lead the 2-time nominated blues artist through a successful career as a financial strategist and life coach for clients ranging from individuals, and mom and pop startup ventures to Fortune 500 companies, as well as her lifelong music career, Juniper was stuck in a rut, replete with toxic relationships, pain, and negativity.
While she thrived on helping others improve their lives, she knew that she could only really make a difference if she could find personal joy in her own. She needed genuine change.
With that, Juniper embarked on a journey of learning and healing, deepening her relationship with the self through Intentional Conscious Living and becoming a nurturing parent to her inner child. Juniper shed feeling lost, sad, lonely, and numb, to embrace intention, care, love, and honesty with herself. This internal victory eclipsed the multitude of external accolades she had accumulated.
Today, Juniper’s most treasured laurels are her internal freedom and her openness of heart. With these badges, she is able to fully share and teach, leading her readers with courage, kindness, unconditional love, acceptance, respect, integrity, and support for herself and others as she shed light on the path to her own happiness and healing.
The First Story of Intentionsis the culmination of this journey, to date. In this, her most intimate work, Juniper Jillian Joy proudly displays and bestows upon readers her highest honors: the truth and healthy boundaries of the self. Juniper fearlessly embraces and gives voice to her own vulnerability and invites readers to do the same. She crafts a roadmap for readers to apply her meticulously researched formula, find their own voices, and target their intentions toward healing and connection of the inner child. Then, leaning into her rural Arkansas roots and deeply spiritual connection to the world around her, she seamlessly weaves this precious content into a vividly beautiful and surprisingly accessible story, filled with characters that readers will recognize in their own mirrors. Juniper’s lifelong pursuit of education, relentless drive for excellence, love of logical analysis, brilliant creativity, and masterful storytelling combine to make The First Story of Intentions a must-read for anyone who shares her desire to navigate life’s twists and turns with the intention to create a happy, fulfilling life, for those who strive to be the change they want to see, and of course, for anyone who simply enjoys a well-spun yarn.
