All about kimberly

Inspiring audiences to rethink success and design a life that truly works, blending energy, heart, and practical strategies. Helping professionals and leaders align their priorities, reclaim their time, and lead with lasting joy.

Kimberly {JOY} Evans is a professional speaker, event planner, and founder of JOY. Consulting + Experiences, as well as the host of The Joy Curator Podcast.

With over 20 years of experience designing meaningful, high-impact events, she brings a rare dual perspective to the stage, understanding both how to deliver a powerful message and how to create an experience that truly resonates with audiences.

Through her signature J.O.Y. framework, Kimberly helps professionals and organizations realign their time, energy, and priorities so they can build success that feels sustainable, intentional, and fulfilling. Her work is rooted in the belief that success should not come at the cost of the life you are trying to build.

Her message is deeply personal. After a life-changing moment when her daughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, Kimberly was forced to rethink how she was living, working, and leading. That experience became the foundation for her work today, helping others move beyond overwhelm and into a life designed with clarity, alignment, and joy.

Known for her vibrant energy, heartfelt storytelling, and practical strategies, Kimberly creates experiences that go beyond inspiration. Whether on stage, in workshops, or leading conversations, she leaves audiences feeling seen, empowered, and equipped with tools they can apply immediately.

It All Started With A Lightning Bolt Moment

Already exhausted from carrying the load of business owner, event planner and mother of two, I was trying to do it all on my own. The incredible amount of unpaid, invisible work in managing a household on top of running a business right as my daughter was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. The physical, mental and emotional load to carry felt completely overwhelming and I knew something needed to change. There had to be a better way…and like a true entrepreneur, I intended to create one. My health, business, sanity and identity depended on it.

That moment forced me to see time differently. It reminded me that the life we’re building isn’t something that happens later…it’s happening right now.

The result is The J.O.Y. Lab: a time, energy and values alignment system that offers professionals the opportunity to see how their personal and professional life is intertwined and where they spend their time matters in order to get the life you want. With the simplicity of The J.O.Y. Lab strategies, you will understand what is working and what is not working currently and how to get it all done efficiently with easy to follow systems that are created for you. You will understand your values and priorities and where things need to shift in order to feel aligned.

“Alignment” means restructuring your personal life, professional life, relationships with others and reigniting who you want to be and how you want to show up in the world.

I care deeply about helping professionals create lives that are fair, sustainable, and aligned with what matters most. Because when you truly understand the value of time, you stop designing your life around survival and start designing it around joy.

From keynote addresses and moderating panels, to hosting large-scale events and facilitating interactive workshops, I bring a unique presence and authentic connection to every stage and board room. I help professionals uncover the exact steps they need to move forward while celebrating wins, fostering connection, and embracing joy along the way.

"The thing about working with Kimberly is that you just know everything is taken care of. It removes all the stress because she remembers to pay attention to the details, the things I would never think of. She knows them intuitively, it's natural for her so she doesn't need to strive to figure it out. She is created for organization and planning. Being able to trust someone with your own business is so key, because your heart is quite involved. Kimberly will take good care of your heart."
