Podcast appearances and mentions of jo de rosa

Jo De Rosa enables freedom from addiction. Not just alcohol & drugs but food, sugar, abuse, anger - anything where there is an imbalance. The founder of Quantum Sobriety, Jo is all about finding your truth & the journey from your head to your heart. Seven years sober, Jo feels that many recovery programs are limiting & outdated. She explains why Quantum Sobriety takes a different approach. That the opposite of addiction is not sobriety but “connection” and emphasises the importance of replacing the ‘black hole’ with something positive. We cover her Buddhism, inner peace, the benefits of meditation & why she doesn’t speak before 9-30am. Jo’s journey is one of remarkable recovery and a quantum leap. I have an addictive personality. "I swapped drugs for drinking & was smoking up to 80 cigarettes a day.” She describes her previous life a pendulum swing. “There was Yoga Jo & Party Jo. I was spiralling out of control. I was very lucky”. Jo now helps others on their journey to recovery via retreats, her online program and there is now a book, also called Quantum Sobriety. Life lessons abound in this uplifting and truly inspiring podcast. Look out too for Jo’s wonderful “Ghandi story". Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Swearing? Biting your nails? Smoking? Spending too much time on your phone? Gillian Russell delves into our bad habits and asks just how much our health and happiness might improve if we knocked them on the head? Author and expert on the power of the mind Dr David Hamilton explains what exactly habits are, why we form them in the first place, what's going on in the brain when we indulge a habit and why bad habits are always harder to kick. Ruari Fairbairns, author of The 28 Day Alcohol-Free Challenge, returns to find out how Gillian and guest Suzanne Lockhart got on with their quest to quit booze for four weeks. Have they actually completed it and did they feel any better? What did they learn about themselves and their drinking habits? If a habit gets more serious and starts to take over your life ... whether that's sugar, shopping or social media ... what would you do to break the cycle? Jo De Rosa has been there herself and through her own experiences, she's now developed Quantum Sobriety ... a novel approach to challenging what you're addicted to.

"If there is something you want to do, stop thinking about it, and just go and do it, because you will not know the result until you do it. I remember when I first moved to Suffolk, and it took me a year, to approach Inner Guidance Retreat Centre, about selling our art pieces. When I actually got the courage, Jo (De Rosa) said 'you are the perfect match, you are the person we were waiting for!' and I thought why did it take me a year!" I'm delighted to welcome Vendulka Battais who is this week's guest on the Happy Healthy Entrepreneur Podcast.  Vendulka is a textile artist specialising in creating beautiful wall hangings with yoga, sacred geometry and symbols as a theme. She’s the owner of OliVen - a successful and growing patchwork and quilting shop based in the heart of Suffolk, England, where she also teaches workshops, even though she prefers the word “enabler” rather than teacher as she loves to enable people to make whatever it is they want to make. When I asked Vendulka what three words sum up her entrepreneurial journey so far she said: Self Development. Creativity. Flexibility. What you’ll learn by listening to this episode: - How Vendulka went from her passion for patchwork into profit and has since been in business for 6 years. - What it's like to work in a family business, and how her 7 and 3-year-old are very much part of the business too. - What it feels like when all you want to do is 'create' and enable others to as well, but you have to run a business too! - How a daily meditation habit helps to keep her calm and gives her 30 minutes a day to herself. - Joining a mastermind was one of the best investment decisions for her personally and her business, in terms of accountability, support, and amazing friendships, but you don't have to start one, you can start your own. - It's good to be inspired by other entrepreneurs in the same field as you, but it's important to figure out what is right for you. - Fear of rejection is the silliest fear of all because it's not going to hurt you, it's just going to make you stronger and help you to learn and grow and develop.

Welcome! My guest today is Jo De Rosa. Jo shares how she battled addiction for decades until yoga and meditation literally saved her life. She has recently celebrated 1000 days of sobriety! She has lived in Thailand and the UK, running a clothing and jewellery shop, a yoga studio, and a retreat centre. Her business, Inner Guidance, offers coaching, workshops, and retreats focusing on emotional and spiritual healing, nutrition, and visioning for the future.Join me for an inspiring conversation with Jo! Jo candidly shares about the excesses of her adult life, until yoga and meditation showed her a better path. Even in the midst of the addiction pattern, she felt a calling to search for something else for her life. When she attended her first yoga class, it was an “epiphany” moment—exactly what she was searching for to change her life forever! In this episode, Jo discusses: How yoga eventually led to soul-satisfying meditation in her life, and how you can start small and incorporate this practice into your life How she overcame the power struggle between the “old Jo” and the “new Jo” she wanted to become  How family and friends responded to the extreme changes she made in her life—some were supportive and some were not Jo keeps the faith in herself by acknowledging that her inner peace comes from her meditation Hear the miraculous story of how Jo and her husband came to own a 16th-century property that has become the Inner Guidance Retreat Centre How Jo does NOT regret any of her life experiences: “I had to go through what I did to be where I am right now!”   Biggest Learning: Trust.Trusting herself, trusting the process. Trusting that everything is happening for a reason. It has to happen this way for you to be your full potential, so that you can shine in the world. Say YES and mean it. Do things because you say 'YES' to them, not because you 'should' do them. Favourite Quote: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi    Theme Song: Brainwave Music System- Dr Jeffrey Thompson SuperShero Name: The Quantum Mind-Setter   About Jo: Jo offers coaching, workshops and retreats where students can fully immerse themselves into their practice, and most importantly, learn how to take the information home with them and integrate it into their daily lives. Yoga is a complete lifestyle and Jo teaches not only the physical postures, but also nutrition, visioning for the future and meditation. This enables you to feel balanced mentally and emotionally, as well as physically. Jo teaches yoga in the Iyengar style and spent one year in training with her first teacher Suzie in Koh Samui, Thailand. Jo has spent much time in India and completed the Sivananda one month intensive training in Neyyer Dam, Trivandrum. Here she stayed in the ashram for one month living and breathing yoga before heading from the southern tip of India to the Himalayas where she met and studied with Sharat Arora. It was at this time that Jo also became involved with the Tibetan Buddhist movement in Dharamsala. In 2006 Jo took refuge with HH Karmapa which is a great honour, and was given the Tibetan name ‘Karma Choekyi’, which means ‘happy teacher’. The Karmapa is head of the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, and although this is a different lineage to HH Dalai Lama, it is now public knowledge that HH Karmapa will succeed HH Dalai Lama as leader of Tibet.   Connect with Jo: Facebook Twitter   Interview Links And Resources: Jo's Website
