Journey Forward with Joree Rose

If you're a mother, then you know what I mean when I say that motherhood is a mindf*ck. What a crazy and wild journey it is to give everything of yourself to raise another human, with the intention to launch them into the world, and then feel a significant transition once they've left the home. In this episode Joree shares her very vulnerable transition she's in right now as she just recently launched both of her daughters; her 16-year-old is on a semester abroad in Israel and her older one just started college. Joree muses on the various and competing emotions: it's a “soup of and”… feeling pride and grief, excitement and sadness, even jealousy and a bit of loneliness, and more! More importantly Joree guides the listener to see this point in life as an opportunity, and openness, a gift to re-discover who you are outside of your role of being a mom.

We pick up right where we left off from our last conversation and delve into the practices for day-to-day life, and how to make conscious choices and shifts in how to stay aligned with your intentions and how to practice self-care to help prevent you from feeling depleted. We cover topics ranging from dealing with busy schedules, how to reframe old thought patterns that are keeping you stuck, and how to not take on the energy of those around you. We talk about the difference between operating from essence rather than energy, which means to let energy move through you, rather than from you. This mindset shift is huge when we keep finding ourselves in repeating patterns. If you are an empath or find yourself often trying to pour from an empty cup, then this is episode is for you.   To learn more about Rob: www.coachrobmack.com @robmackofficial

Being a single mom is even harder. In this interview with Julia Hasche, we delve into the world of single motherhood, from the challenge of ending the relationship with your child's father, to co-parenting, shared custody (or not having shared custody!), to dating again and ultimately in moving forward and blending with a new partner.

If you want to join John and I on a relationship retreat in Costa Rica, in April 2023, here is all the info: https://joreerose.com/retreats/costa-rica/   John and I are back for another joint episode on how to be better in relationships. Oftentimes, we consider what this means by looking at our interpersonal skills, communication patterns, love languages, triggers, previous traumas, tools for connection and so on. And while all of that is important and necessary, the foundation of being in better relationship with others - whether it's your partner, children, parents, friends, coworkers - is to be in a healthy relationship with yourself. In this episode, John vulnerably shares a story of his own healing, both physically (which is honestly, nothing short of a miracle!) and emotionally. I also share the work that I've done and still do, to be a whole and complete person, because it's only then that we are able to show up fully for another. In absence of doing our own work, it's easy to externalize too many of our needs on others, which can compromise the balance and integrity of the relationship. We also share exciting news of a retreat that we are hosting in Costa Rica April 22-29, 2023 - click on the link to learn more.

Being a mom is so hard and also one of the most fulfilling roles a woman can have. It's full of so many ups and downs, twists and turns, and each stage brings about different gifts, challenges, lessons, hardships and joys. In this episode, I share some of my top parenting tips that I not only share with my clients but have been the core of my own parenting journey as well. I cover topics ranging from how to raise a secure adult, managing our kids (and our own) anxiety, what it means to be a mindful parent, and how to authentically show up as a human through role modeling what you're feeling in the moment. From early childhood to adulthood, our role as mom is constantly shifting and it's a practice to tune into our own self-awareness to know not only what we are feeling and needing, but how it's separate from what our kids are feeling and needing. If you are a mom who is wanting to learn some tools to parent from a more peaceful, authentic and boundaried place, this episode is for you.

After losing her mom at age 25, Melissa spent over ten years struggling with her pain and grief, which ended up resulting in overwhelming anxiety. Once Covid hit, all the emotions that she had tried to not face came to the surface and she finally stepped towards processing her emotions of trauma and loss. Therapy helped her from feeling alone in her struggles and being unsure of her purpose to living being the “real Melissa” - a woman who wasn't afraid of being vulnerable, facing her shame and guilt, and learning to tune into compassion. She now knows that it's through stillness, calmness and presence that we can allow ourselves to heal and feel, and is now inspired to have more conversations with others to help them do the same.   Melissa's bio: After losing her Mom at the age of 25, she would spend the next ten years not processing the trauma, losing her self confidence along the way, and feeling alone in her struggles. This all came to a head in 2020 when the whole world was hurting, Melissa decided to turn her pain into her purpose and start healing. Simultaneously while starting therapy, she started thinking about her true purpose in life. She looked out into the world and saw other people hurting as well, and wanted to help. Now she puts joy back into people's hearts through her podcast, The Bright Side of Life, where she talks to people that have successfully navigated their way back to joy and happiness despite their struggles, pain and grief.   Learn more here: https://www.thebrightsideoflifepodcast.com/ https://www.facebook.com/MelBright13 https://www.instagram.com/the.bright.side.of.life_/

We all have goals or dreams that we are working on that we'd like to achieve. And we often take action to step ourselves closer to those goals. And yet, we don't always stop and consider whether the quality of our thoughts is in alignment with our desired outcomes. In this episode, I delve into the power of your thoughts, and the implications of staying stuck in old narratives and negative thought habits. I highlight some funny and yet valuable examples to help you realize that every time you are stuck on thoughts that are out of alignment with your desired outcome that you are making an unconscious agreement to not meet your higher goals.

Marriage and family therapist turned relationship coach, Kama Hurley, and I are on the same page when it comes to manifesting the relationship you're wanting. This episode covers so many valuable tools for anyone struggling to find the right person, or maintaining a strong relationship with the one you do have. After a series of unhealthy relationships and health issues, Kama realized she had to step back and slow down to not only manage her stress, but to awaken to what was not working in her life. She now guides women to work through their own stuff and let go of attachment to predetermined expectations so they can become more authentic and aligned. We talk about how from that place of clarity, you can choose a life in which you feel whole, complete and content and ultimately be able to attract the right person into their life, while repelling the wrong ones. If you want to get out of the same old patterns of relationship and find the right person who adds to your life, then this episode is for you.   Kama's bio: Kama Hurley has been working in the psychology field for the last 20 years. As a licensed counselor she runs a thriving private practice in Boise, Idaho and provides coaching to women who are ready to find healthy, committed relationships and break old unhealthy patterns. Kama uses several modalities in her psychotherapy and coaching practices including tools from neurosciences, EMDR, CBT and mindfulness. Using this eclectic tool box, paired with individualized treatment, she is able to get her clients get transformative results quickly.    Learn more about Kama: www.kamahurley.com https://www.instagram.com/kamahurley/ https://www.facebook.com/KamaHurley208/

This is a beautiful conversation with Alena Turley in which we talk about how easy it is to lose ourselves in our roles of wife, mom, caretaker or even employee. And unless we consciously create the space for our own compassionate self-care, we can feel lost, overwhelmed, depleted or could become resentful or reactive to those we love most. Alena shares insightful wisdom about how to honor our children's inner truth, how to cultivate rejuvenative self-care and how to deepen our relationships.    Alena's bio:  Alena Turley is an award-winning Australian educator, podcaster and martial artist. Founder of pioneering blog, the Soul Mama Hub, her new membership - the Soul Mama Academy -  a monthly coaching membership and community - helping mothers create holistic, intentional and satisfying lifestyles so they can feel lighter and make more time for the fun stuff.   Podcast: https://www.soulmamaacadamy.com/blog Website: https://www.soulmamahub.com

Have you ever set an intention, and then the Universe gave you multiple signs that you were on the right path? This has happened to Joree many times, and the past 2 weeks has been a powerful example of just how powerful aligned energy can be. In this solocast, Joree shares a personal recent story of how she has been working on aligning her energy, reclaiming her power and breaking old narratives that were holding her back, and then all of the synchronicities that occurred. There are never any accidents. If you want to get inspired by the magic that occurs when the quality of your thoughts aligns with your desires, then be sure to take a listen. 

As women, there is so much that we experience in our bodies throughout the course of our lives that feels out of our control. And how we are socialized can impact our narrative of how we view natural occurring processes such as menstruation and menopause. When we are raised with a narrative of “this sucks” or fearing “the big change” it will impact how we relate to these biological and necessary shifts in our bodies. In this conversation with Ruth Jamieson, who is a nutritional therapist and functional medicine practitioner, we talk about the experience that she went through in perimenopause that lead her to seeking more information not only about her own body, but how to guide women in increasing great awareness and understanding of their own bodies, as well as ways they could soften their shifts into perimenopause and menopause. This helpful and insightful conversation will help any woman to feel more empowered about how to take more control over their overall health. Hint: diet and lifestyle are almost always the answer!   Bio: After failing to get answers for some unusual symptoms in her early 40s, Ruth discovered they were related to Perimenopause. Her own journey and research into this very important and natural phase of a woman's life, opened her eyes to a whole world of unnecessary suffering and lack of support for women going through perimenopause. Knowing from her own experience that it needn't be this way, she felt compelled to help women change the perimenopause narrative, and navigate through perimenopause naturally with cutting edge hormone testing, diet, lifestyle, and natural supplements.     She is a women's health and hormones expert, the founder of Empowered Wellness her online clinic supporting women 1-2-1, and her Menopause Matters and Magic group coaching membership, helping women in their 40s and 50s sail smoothly through perimenopause so they can feel better than ever, and live a life they love.    To learn more about Ruth: www.empoweredwellness.co.uk

In this joint episode, with my fiancee Dr. John Schinnerer, we talk through common pattern dynamics that we see in couples. It looks something like this: the man is feeling insecure and needs reassurance, for which he continuously reaches out to his partner, though the way he seeks reassurance and connection is through blame, shame or judgment. This in turn, pushes his partner further away, creating greater disconnection, the very opposite thing that he is seeking. John and I dissect these relational patterns with curiosity of what is the underlying problem. If you are in a relationship with these dynamics, you'll want to take a listen.   Want to work with John and I? www.theultimaterelationship.com

This week marks the 2 year anniversary of Covid impacting our lives - two years ago, virtual school became a thing, shelter in place was all about staying up late and making sourdough and we learned that we could work from home, wearing sweats or leggings. This “great pause” as I like to call it helped highlight what was working and what wasn't working in our day-to-day grind of modern life. Upon this anniversary of Covid, I invite you to reflect on what you learned about yourself and the way in which you want to be living your life. For me, it's been about creating better balance, finding ways to be more intentional about my time and energy, and how to not just jump back on the hamster wheel. In this episode I talk about how to make those conscious choices, along with how, at the end of the day, we can choose our own happiness and that it's in how we relate to our experiences - rather than the experiences themselves - that bring us peace and joy.

You can “have it all” - the job, relationship, house, car, achievements or accolades, and yet, still experience depression. In this deeply powerful conversation, I talk with Rob Mack, who despite having a great life, was deeply depressed and suicidal for over 2 decades. In the split second of after beginning to act upon his suicidal ideation, he felt a moment of peace and decided to hold off on killing himself for a few more minutes to see if he could harness that sensation of peace a few moments longer. Those few moments not only saved his life, but turned it completely around as he developed a deep curiosity and passion for learning how to cultivate happiness, from the inside out and now is a happiness coach and author guiding others in how to live a blissful life. This conversation is full of wisdom, depth, honesty, vulnerability, spirituality, positive psychology, and a ton of tools for people who want to live a happier, more joyful, connected and peaceful life.

To join the Spring cohort of The Journey Forward Method: https://joreerose.com/journeyforwardmethod/ Any parent who has ever protected their child from feeling an uncomfortable emotion, wanted to prevent them from being in an uncomfortable situation or didn't adequately prepare their child to gain the skills to get through challenges needs to listen to this episode. I speak with the amazing Julie Lythcott-Haims, who is a lawyer, turned Stanford University dean, turned author, who is writing to help parents back off from over parenting their children and actually learn how to repattern the unskillful patterns that are preventing young adults from living a thriving life. So many parents have good intentions and yet poor execution, and while many parents are wanting to reduce their kids' anxiety, the results of overparenting are actually increasing anxiety for both parents and kids. This candid conversation shares not only personal stories but really helpful and practical tools that any parent, with kids of any age, will benefit from. Julie also shares about her new book, recently released, Your Turn, which she considers to be a follow up from her first book, How to Raise an Adult.   Julie's bio: Julie Lythcott-Haims believes in humans and is deeply interested in what gets in our way.

If you have ever felt “off” and wasn't sure what to blame it on, there's a good chance that your hormones were out of balance, wreaking all sorts of havoc in areas of your body that you may not think were related. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Brandi Moore, who is a naturopathic doctor passionate about teaching others to understand their hormones, and it was one of my favorite interviews EVER! We cover the impact on low testosterone for men, and what it means to have estrogen dominance for women. And I think most importantly, why managing your stress, and therefore your cortisol levels, are so important for maintaining optimal health. If you are someone who is interested in how to truly be healthy from the inside out, then don't miss this conversation!   Brandi's bio: Dr. Brandi is a Naturopathic Doctor and hormone expert whose health changed significantly when she was able to balance her own hormones. She now guides other women along the same path. Educating them on their hormones , so they can have regular periods, be balanced emotionally, lose weight, and prepare their bodies for pregnancy (or recover from it).

I've said it a million times - love isn't enough. Strong relationships require work, and ongoing maintenance to stay strong and connected. And yet, much to the chagrin of my fiance and I, Dr. John Schinnerer, even though we have been together for 6 years, and engaged for 2, we still get stuck. We hate this human aspect of ourselves, that despite being trained in psychology and emotional awareness, guiding others in how to manage the roadblocks in their relationships, and teaching the skills of effective communication, that we still experience impasses in our relationship that feel sticky and hard. In this episode, John and I vulnerably share some of our difficult struggles that we've gone through as well as how we got through them, and continue to get through them. We have learned to revisit old challenges so we can learn more about our patterns and our needs when we feel stuck as well as how to be patient, curious and compassionate to ourselves and each other when we fail to meet the mark of our intentions.

Are you ‘vanilla coasting' in your life? This week's guest, Samara Zelniker, defines vanilla coasting as being mediocre or too comfortable in your life, which can lead people to often stay stuck in their “shoulds.” Creating change is generally not easy; it can make us uncomfortable and requires the skills of listening to the whispers of our intuition and leaping into the unknown. Samara, a yoga and mindfulness teacher, guides others to look at their lives through the lens of possibility, rather than feeling stuck and misaligned. In this fun and insightful conversation, Samara and I talk about how to find the courage, trust your intuition, and honor the space between your thoughts, emotions and challenging situations, since that's where the opening for forging a new, more mindful path resides. If you are someone who is seeking to shift your mindset towards alignment, purpose and possibility, then this episode is for you.   Samara's Bio: Featured in Forbes, Business Insider, Parsley Health, and Focus TV, Samara Zelniker is a mindfulness coach dedicated to creating resources for leaders to reach their infinite potential. With over a decade of experience teaching yoga, meditation and mindfulness, Samara's coaching philosophy melds western wisdom with ancient eastern techniques and combines neuroscience and emotional intelligence tools into practical applications.

So not only is Dr. John an amazing executive coach who teaches men the skills of emotional awareness, communication, and the skills to become happier, he's also my fiance. We were lucky enough to find one another 6 years ago, when we were dating, post-divorce, and share a passion for teaching others the skills to live their best life. In this podcast episode, that is co-branded with John's podcast, The Evolved Caveman, we not only talk our experience dating post-divorce prior to meeting each other, but we give some very practical tips, tools and advice that we give to our clients about how to navigate dating apps, first dates, how to not get too attached too quickly, how soon to date after separating, how to figure out what it is that you are really wanting in a new partner, and so much more. We share parts of our story of when we met along with some of our memorial dating experiences. The key when dating is to stay authentic, curious and have an open, abundant mindset, along with knowing your list of top values of what you are looking for, as well as deal-breakers. This is the first of an ongoing series in which John and I will do joint podcasts.   To learn more about John: www.theevolvedcaveman.com  www.guidetoself.com IG: @theevolvedcaveman

So many moms struggle with their identity after having kids, and not many know what to do with that shift. It comes with a shift in values, purpose, and time, and many moms get stuck in a spiral of not knowing who they are and how to align with the various roles they have in their life. In this episode, I talk with Sara Dean, who is host of the well known podcast Shameless Mom Academy, about her journey into finding her balance, personally and professionally. What started as a career in the fitness industry, Sara pivoted to podcasting and coaching, in which she went from guiding women how to get smaller, to supporting them in living fully, unapologetically taking up space and learning to create the life they want to be living. We cover everything from identity struggle, parenting during Covid, overcoming the shame narrative, and the harsh reality of time flying. If you're mom, this episode is for you.   About Sara: Sara Dean is mindset, business and leadership coach. She is also the creator and host of the Shameless Mom Academy Podcast, a top rated podcast with over 3.5 million downloads. Sara's biggest passion is helping women own their space. After enduring her own identity crisis following the birth of her son, Sara took her background in psychology/health/ wellness and rebuilt her identity, one step at a time. Sara motivates and inspires women to stop shrinking and start shining. She is on a mission to inspire women and moms, in particular, to live bigger, bolder, braver #everydamnday. Sara serves women through her podcast, her thriving Momentum Mamas membership community, her Tenacious Mamas business & leadership mastermind and her annual event, Shameless Mom Con (coming this spring!) When she's not supporting Shameless Moms, you'll find Sara with her husband and 9 year old son - building Legos and pretending to understand Minecraft.   Connect with Sara: www.shamelessmom.com Shameless Mom Academy Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-shameless-mom-academy/id1092674204 Free Facebook Group: www.shamelessmom.com/facebook Instagram: www.instagram.com/shamelessmomacademy

It was a fascinating experience to both be sick, and yet be observing the process I was going through from an emotional, physical and spiritual perspective. I'm always curious about the lesson I'm supposed to learn as I go through different experiences in my life, and having Covid taught me a lot. Not only was I practicing my mindfulness practice in real time, putting all my tools to use, I was also tapping into the bigger picture in acknowledging something that I've been told for years, have set intentions for for years, but clearly have not been able to integrate into my life fully and put into practice. Listen to this episode to hear what the message the Universe had for me, and what I learned from having Covid.

Two main areas I focus on are expectations, and my value of being seen, heard and validated. I often say that expectations are the quickest path to suffering and yet it can be so hard to release expectations you have on others, yourwelf, or even how life unfolds. Additionally, one of the things I'm working on this year is seeing, hearing and validating others from a lens of compassion and acceptance, knowing that when I can do this for others, a relational reciprocity is likely (or hopefully able) to occur. Lastly, I share 12 mindfulness practices that I continue to practice every damn day that help keep me grounded, centered and feeling good from the inside out, because as life continues to unfold in a way that is out of our control, we need all the tools we can to feel at our best.

Take the Get Unstuck Assessment here: https://joreerose.com/getunstuckassessment/   Join the January cohort of The Journey Forward Method: https://joreerose.com/journeyforwardmethod/   Every year I guide a “let your shit go” workshop, and this episode is a virtual workshop, in which I guide you through the steps to let go of what is no longer serving you, and how to set intentions (not resolutions) for the upcoming new year. I start with a short guided mindful meditation moment, then have you consider all the things you're carrying (all the slights, pains, resentments, hurts, expectations, and more!) that are weighing you down and preventing you from moving forward. Once you have identified the things that are no longer serving you, I guide you through the steps on how to let it go so that you can create the space of what you want to bring in for 2022. I am never a fan of setting goals, which can be arbitrary and often lofty, but rather I prefer to set intentions, which are moment-to-moment actions and awareness that are in alignment with your values and with the quality of presence you want to be living your life. Cheers to a peaceful, healthy and aligned new year!

Whether it is being stuck in obligations or expectations, experiencing a retriggering of old traumas, feeling uncomfortable family dynamics, or simply the overwhelm of being in excess (spending too much money or indulging in too much food and/or drink) the holidays bring with it a myriad of emotions. In this episode, I guide you through tools of emotional self-regulation, how to manage expectations, set boundaries and practice self-compassion. I also give you permission to disappoint someone, because you are never going to be able to please everyone, and in attempting to do so, you abandon your own self, resulting in unhealthy patterns of codependency. The key to making the holidays more peaceful and enjoyable is to practice awareness of your needs, your emotions and your values, so you can show up authentically and intentionally, even if it's a departure from previous ways of celebrating the holidays. And remember: self-care is never selfish, and during the busyness of the season, it's more important than ever.

Take the Get Unstuck Assessment here: https://joreerose.com/getunstuckassessment/   Join the January cohort of The Journey Forward Method: https://joreerose.com/journeyforwardmethod/   We all have core wounds from our childhood, and often they can be “normal” instances that still leave a lasting imprint on our lives. In this conversation with Peggy Oliveria, we talk about these core wounds and how to go through the process of healing ourselves. Trauma can be a result of experiences ranging from abuse to living in a chaotic environment, and can shift how we show up in relationships. In absence of honoring these wounds, we tend to continue patterns that no longer serve us.    Peggy's Bio: Peggy's soulful way of getting us to connect to our truth... pain, fears, dreams, & desires inspires us, with arms and hearts wide open, to look under the surface and honor the whispers of our soul.   Known as the Survivor Whisperer®, she weaves her story of impact & healing from childhood sexual abuse with her 20+ years of experience as a trauma therapist and advocate to inspire us to release what holds us back and courageously step into the life we deserve.   Peggy is the Founder of Courageous Journeys, a practice of guiding people on their Journey to Freedom through 1:1 sessions, online programs, and her transformational Journey to Freedom Retreat.   Follow Peggy: www.youtube.com/peggyoliveiramsw www.facebook.com/courageousjourneys www.courageousjourneys.com

To have compassion means to “suffer with” or to be present in the midst of someone else's suffering. When being compassionate, you work on reducing your judgment while practicing acceptance, mindfulness and kindness, all of which is easier said than done. This beautiful conversation with Sara Schairer delves deep into the practice of compassion; she shares how she not only practiced compassion to heal herself during challenging times in her life, but has built a non-profit so she can spread the value and teachings of compassion to others. Compassion It became an overnight global movement in 2012 and is built on the foundation that compassion is the most important lesson we can teach others and it. Sara has brought these tools and training with big tech, inmates and educators. Our conversation covers all areas from the impact compassion has in our day-to-day lives and as well as how to begin to practice.    About Sara: Sara Schairer is the founder and executive director of Compassion It®, a nonprofit organization and global social movement whose mission is to inspire daily compassionate actions and attitudes.

After living with chronic pain for almost 20 years, Lauren has learned not only how to live with her pain, but more importantly, how to live in gratitude, and is a self-proclaimed “gratitude junkie.” For the past 8 years, she has built a community of support and tools to provide others a “no complaining zone” for them to feel uplifted, through inspiration, daily intentions and practices to look for and dwell in the good of their lives, despite their diagnoses and pain. In this conversation we talk about the various ways in which gratitude can completely shift not only your mindset, but your health and outlook on life, and finishes up with some really fun and creative ways to be more grateful.    Find out more: visit gratitudeaddict.com.

In this episode, intuitive business and health coach Julie Boyer, shares her passion for the practice of gratitude. Being inspired to do a 21-day practice of writing down 3 specific things she was grateful for, without repeating anything, and being specific to that day, helped her manifest many of her goals. This deep mindset work also raised her vibration and helped to shift the course of her life, as she used gratitude as a response and way of being, after suffering a miscarriage, which was the hardest day of her life. Julie now inspires others in the practice of gratitude and literally wakes up to gratitude every day. We talk about the various ways of practicing gratitude, how to embody it and how to even look for it during the dark moments of your life.    Julie Boyer is the host of the Wake Up With Gratitude™ podcast, an Intuitive Biz + Health Coach and three-time Amazon Best-Selling Author.

I love this conversation with Andrea Rosario, who is a functional medicine doctor, and a functional neurologist, and is passionate about helping women get out of the constant cycle of flight/flight and help them cultivate more rest to reset their body to a place of calm. She takes a whole approach to health, and is more interested in the interconnectivity of the brain and body, rather than just the symptoms a client is presenting. Andrea's unique approach to helping people heal is to connect them to nature as a role model for self-care. Each season presents a different way of being present from shedding what's unnecessary, to retreat and resting, to growth and creativity, and finally to celebrate and play.   About Andrea: Dr. Andrea Rosario, DC, DACNB, is a functional neurologist and functional medicine doctor. In her private practice, she helps people with chronic, complicated conditions to discover the root cause of their suffering and guides their recovery with natural solutions. Through her online outreach at Teach Them Well, she teaches specifically on the topic of helping burnt out women escape “fight or flight” and reset their body chemistry for calm. https://www.teachthemwell.com/   https://www.facebook.com/teachthemwell https://www.instagram.com/teachthemwellcourses/

Have you ever gotten multiple signs from the Universe that are all in alignment with what you are already working on, or are at least trying to work on, but are just having a really hard time implementing the change that you know you need to make? Welcome to my life the past few weeks! In this episode, I share my recent run-in with bees, and how my multiple times getting stung has finally woken me to the messages the Universe keeps sending me: I need to slow down, and not force it. It's so much easier said than done to create new habits and patterns, and sometimes it may take longer than you'd like, and yet it is possible. As a therapist and mindfulness teacher, I'm not immune from getting stuck, or needing to adhere to the lessons I teach, and I'm humbly practicing my own tools right now.   To join my January cohort of The Journey Forward Method, sign up here.   And here's a copy of the poem that I read during this episode, Autobiography in 5 Short Chapters, by Portia Nelson

When we get stuck in patterns in which we find ourselves in situations or relationships that no longer serve us, one way of managing is to externalize the blame and not take the responsibility for our part of it. And another approach is to self-reflect and consider how it is that we are showing up that is allowing the pattern to continue. When Andrea Owen found herself in a fetal position on the floor crying, wondering not only how she got to this point, but more importantly, what she was going to do next, she was able to finally create the change that got her to where she is now. And she has used that awareness and the tools she gained in becoming a coach, as well as being certified in Brene Brown's work around shame, to coach others in getting out of their own way so they can live fully. In her new book, Make Some Noise, Andrea inspires women to live their kick-ass life through being curious about where they come from. 

Have you ever truly slowed down to listen to the signs that the Universe keeps sending you? Or have you embodied the practices that you thought you were doing, only to realize that you were still far from where you thought, hoped or wanted to be? In this episode, Joree shares her recent experience of leading a women's retreat at Miraval...she starts with the power and magic that can unfold in a retreat setting, and concludes with her transformation of what she received. Opportunities for growth and healing and mindfulness are truly at every corner - but if you aren't open to walking the path, it can be easy to miss.

Can you imagine it being your wedding day, you're in your wedding dress, the phone rings, you see it's your business line, and you still pick it up because you don't want to miss an important call? On your wedding day?! This actually happened to my guest this week, Stacy Tuschl, who is author of the book The Implementation Code, host of the podcast Foot Traffic Formula, and CEO of a multi-million dollar business. After her wedding day, she realized that something needed to shift...she started delegated work, figuring out her highest priority of the moment, and created the balance to do it all, but on her terms. And now, she is coaching others in how to do the same. So, if you've ever seen someone who is successful, with a thriving business, a healthy relationship, having quality time with their kids and isn't seeming to be exhausted and overwhelmed all the time, and wondered not only, how do they do it all, but how can I, then this episode is for you!   To learn more about Stacy: Stacy Tuschl started her own business at the age of 18 in her parents' backyard and turned that company into a multi-million dollar business she still runs today. Stacy is a bestselling author, and founder of the Foot Traffic Formula - helping small businesses around the world get more customers in the door. The Foot Traffic Podcast now has over 1 million downloads and is frequently on the top 30 of all marketing on iTunes where she's interviewed guests like Suze Orman.

September is self-care awareness month, and yet I teach self-care tools every single day. One of the most common frustrations I hear most from (mostly) women is that they don't have time to practice self-care - and the fact that they have put self-care on their to-do list, only leaves them feeling judgmental and critical towards themselves and their inability to meet that goal. In this episode, I talk about viable self-care tips that will take no time out of your day - tools that begin with an internal awareness of your habits and patterns and how you can shift into more mindful responses to the areas of your life in which you feel most stuck. At its core, adopting a self-compassionate mindset is the thing that will most help you practice more self-care, and I list valuable other tools that you can start implementing right now.    If you'd like some help to uncover your core values, download this PDF   To take the Get Unstuck Assessment, click here: https://joreerose.com/getunstuckquiz

From a young age, Diana Rowan suffered performance anxiety that she thought would derail her career as a professional pianist. Her path was anything but straight, but led her to uncover that the thing that held her back most was not in fact anxiety of performing in front of others, but rather, the fear of not knowing who she was and what she was here to say. When returning to music after taking a hiatus, she discovered herself, and that music was a medium to allow herself to truly feel, to know herself and express herself. Now, Diana shares this gift of inner awareness to spark creativity and inspiration in others so they are motivated to live a fulfilling life. This beautiful conversation will be sure to have you feeling seen, heard and validated that wherever you are in your journey is okay and that it is simply part of being human to feel insecure, fearful and uncertain.    Learn more about Diana's Infinite Inspiration retreat: https://www.dianarowan.com Follow Diana on social media:  https://www.instagram.com/dianarowan/ https://www.facebook.com/DianaRowansBrightWayGuild/ Get her book, The Bright Way: https://www.amazon.com/Bright-Way-Freeing-Creative-Within/dp/1608686442

We are continuing to face so many challenges - raging variants of Covid, climate change - wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, civil unrest around the world...it's not easy to be a human being in our current times; it's likely been the hardest period we've endured during our recent lifetime. There is so much to stress and overwhelm us that it can be hard just to get through the day-to-day stuff. In this episode, I talk about the ways you can navigate these realities - and it all starts with having compassion for how hard it's been. And as I always say, I think mindfulness is the answer to everything - the ability to accept what is here (if and especially when we don't like what is here), how to not judge what we are feeling, as well as how to stay present. I also talk about toxic positivity and gratitude - you won't want to miss this! These mindful tools will help you now and always as guideposts and route markers for navigating the unknown and uncertain times.    To take the Get Unstuck Assessment, click here: https://joreerose.com/getunstuckquiz

I used to operate out of an old story that no longer served me, and it kept me stuck, but I didn't know who I was without my story. I feared the unknown and thought if I stayed in the “known”, then I'd be happy - until one day I shifted my mindset and was able to trust that the unknown held the possibility of happiness, peace, fulfillment and personal freedom.

I'm talking about sex again!! In this conversation with Faith Harper, we talk about sex, intimacy, trauma, relationships and everything in between! Faith is not only an expert in the field of sex and therapy, but she normalizes all human behavior and frames it in a way that is so fun to talk about (she says the F-word a lot!).

Take the Get Unstuck Assessment here: https://joreerose.com/getunstuckquiz   To sign up for the Journey Forward Method September cohort, here's the link: https://joreerose.com/journeyforwardmethod/   I know that I'm not the only one who gets overwhelmed by their thoughts and has difficulty in managing difficult emotions. I also know that I'm not the only one who was unfulfilled in their life and not only had to come to terms with that reality, but had to gain not only the courage but the tools to create lasting change. And I also know that to change is scary - it's an unknown. But at some point to not create the change, to stay stuck, is harder than it is to get unstuck. That is why I am so passionate about teaching these tools to others, because I know it is possible. In this week's episode, I take you on a deep dive into the pathways to get unstuck. I share with you my proprietary framework, The Cycle of Reactivity, as the way you can work your way out of the habits and patterns that are preventing you from moving forward in your life. This is the crux of all the work that I teach and the foundation for my exclusive Journey Forward Method live course. 

This conversation starts off with the powerful question of “who are you when you are alone, in your own head?” It's one thing to put on your outside persona for others, and yet there isn't always alignment from what we are showing to others and how we feel on the inside. It's so easy to stay stuck and limited in how we show up in our lives, holding ourselves back from stepping into our true authenticity and our personal power. And when we continue to push down our emotions, fears and doubts, they'll eventually show up somewhere and wreak havoc on our health, mindset and ability to live fully. In this interview with Michael Sherlock, we talk about her vulnerable journey through suicidal ideation, depression and the power of putting bright blue streaks in her hair, and how it has all guided her to become more vulnerable and fearless, not only in how she lives her life, but in how she shows up as a leader to train others.    More about Michael: Don't be fooled by the name, the hair color, or crazy shoes. Michael Sherlock is serious about business. She is dedicated to creating positive, productive, and profitable workplaces, and helping individuals, and businesses unlock their ultimate potential.    Before launching her global training company, Shock Your Potential, Michael was Vice President of US Sales for two multi-national medical device companies, responsible for net revenue exceeding $75 million and as many as 500 employees at a time. In 2020 she released the Shock Your Potential App, an on-demand training tool for leadership and sales professionals and was chosen as #12 of the Top Female Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2021 by EnterpriseLeague.com.    To learn more about Michael and everything to shock your potential, find her here: www.shockyourpotential.com https://www.facebook.com/MichaelSherlockSpeaks https://www.instagram.com/shockyourpotential  

I'm fascinated by people and as a therapist I get curious about common patterns that I see come up time and again with clients. As a universal truth, I know that love isn't enough, relationships are hard, and everyone wants to be seen, heard and validated. And though we all have those same basic needs, we often fail to meet our partner's needs, we miss the mark of effective, compassionate communication and we find ourselves stuck and disconnected. In this week's podcast episode, I share a working theory based on my observations that highlight 4 common patterns that are beneath the details within conflict between partners. Tune in to hear what these patterns are, and next time you are stuck in disconnection, see which one of these patterns is arising, so you can use this insight to help you move through the conflict with a bit more compassion, awareness and ease.
