Journey Forward with Joree Rose

In this episode, I interview Joanna Kleinman, who is a therapist that helps people understand how to manage their minds so they can design a life that they love. So many of us get stuck in the belief system that if I change my external circumstances, then I'll feel differently internally, only to realize that that's not the answer. You have to be able to take responsibility, accountability and own...

The ability to hold the paradox of two truths at the same time is a valuable skill and tool, and something that I work with a lot of my clients in being able to do. Research shows how being able to believe two things at the same time not only makes for a great leader, but also in how you are able to be empathetic and compassionate towards others. In this episode, I delve deeper into not only what...

Lilia shares her journey from being miserable and out of alignment to embarking on a self-development discovery that helped her not only make money, but from a place of being healed from the old stories that used to hold her back. She no...

Life is hard, and the lens through which you view the world and your experiences matter. While you can't always control what arises, you have 100% control over how you respond and what you do with how life unfolds. It's not just about mindset, it's about making it a conscious practice. In this week's episode, I share some of my favorite ways to bring gratitude into your life, that are taken from m...

There have been plenty of experiences in my life in which I learned to trust my intuition and gut for guiding me on my path. Sometimes in fact, when I could rely on logic and reason, my inner light was still the north star that led me in the right direction. In this episode, I share one of my favorite stories in which this was highlighted in the most beautiful of ways, and I share the metaphors, l...

The new year is a time when many people often set new goals for themselves, and then just a few weeks later, fail at meeting those new resolutions. So this year, I invite you to set intentions, rather than be attached to goals, and allow the path to shift and move in a way that is in alignment with you. One of the ways to do this is to be values-driven, and allow your values to be what guides your...

In this week's episode I finish up our mini masterclasses in mindfulness, in which I talk about the power of letting go of what is no longer serving you so you can create the lasting positive change that you are seeking in your life. The foundation to this is awareness - when you begin to recognize your habits and patterns that have kept you on autopilot, you can begin to choose to live more consc...

So often we focus on "stuff" rather than what's really most important. During the holidays, it's so easy to stress over how to find the perfect gift for the people we care most about, and what we often fail to recognize is that the most valuable present we can give others is our presence. Especially this year, now more than ever, our presence is a valued commodity that we truly can put no price on...

One of the hardest and yet most powerful practices in mindfulness is the practice of equanimity. This is mental calmness despite what is arising around you. It is radical acceptance at the deepest level, and when you can come to accept what it is - even if you don't like what is - things begin to shift; you are no longer stuck in cycles of judgment and reactivity. This provides you freedom because...

Suffering exists; it's the first Noble Truth as defined by the Buddha and mindfulness offers the pathways out of that suffering. In this week's episode, I share how and why compassion, self-compassion and lovingkindness are practices that you need to be practicing right now. While these tools don't negate the pain or challenge in your life, they simply offer a different lens through which to see t...

In a continuation of mini master classes in mindfulness, this week's episode I talk about how to be more mindful of your thoughts. I see people most getting stuck in one of two areas (or both!): their emotions and their thoughts. When we get stuck in our thoughts, we ruminate, the thoughts never seem to slow down, we get caught in a cycle of reactivity, we believe our thoughts as truth, we focus o...

You often hear the phrase, have an attitude of gratitude...and while your attitude and mindset are important factors of how you bring gratitude into your life, what's more important is your action. In this week's episode, another mini masterclass in a mindfulness practice, I talk about the power of gratitude, the research that backs it up, and some of my favorite ways to practice being more gratef...

In a continuation of each episode through the end of December, I'm offering a mini masterclass in the application of mindful tools to help you get unstuck and journey forward to living your best life. In this episode, I talk about how to get through the tunnel of emotions from which you are stuck. It is said that emotions have a cycle, and emotional exhaustion, burnout and feeling overwhelmed does...

It's an easy pattern to get stuck in our thoughts and in our emotions...mindfulness can help free us from that old pattern. We are not often taught to manage our emotions...we cling to positive emotions, and resist difficult emotions. So a big question is, How do I manage emotions when they take over? How can I sit in the discomfort without denying, resisting or ignoring what's arising? Equanimity...

This week's podcast episode is a continuation of these mini "masterclasses" in mindfulness I'm doing from October through the end of December. Mindfulness is a practice to help get you out of your head (where we tend to overthink, over-rationalize, over-analyze almost everything!) and get into your body where you can not only get into the here and now, but where you can learn to embody your experi...

Awareness sucks. Why? Because with awareness comes responsibility. Awareness is hard - it's like holding the mirror up to our own selves, and our contributions to the areas of our life that we are struggling with. Without awareness, it's easy and possible to stay stuck in whatever spiral of reactivity you are currently in. It's easy to externalize, blame, judge, and not take action towards creatin...

Mindfulness isn't something you add to your "to-do" list - it's something you have on your "to-be list." But before I go more into that - oops! I forgot to share in last week's episode one of the most common myths I hear about meditation that often stops people before they start. After I cover that final myth, in this week's episode I delve into the differences between mindfulness and meditation....

Meditation has so many myths that prevent people from cultivating and maintaining a practice. In this episode, I go through 12 different reasons that stop people before they are starting to meditate. I see meditation as the root of all wellness; it's the ability to be observant without judgement. When we are able to strengthen that muscle, we are more resilient with all of life's challenges. I hop...

Emotional wellness is not the absence of struggle or things going wrong; it's having the ability to know what to do when things are out of balance and the resources draw upon when you need more tools. Wellness implies that things always have to be positive, whereas balance can allow for both positive and negative experiences to be present, and knowing how to get to equilibrium. Cultivating and mai...

This is a fascinating conversation with Julie Jancius, who is an Angel Medium, and works with her clients in finding connection with those who have passed. Julie had an awakening moment in which she had an experience with her dad, who had passed, in which she felt the nudge she no longer could ignore. Tuning into the intuition that she had otherwise dismissed, she learned her gift for connecting w...
