Journey Forward With Joree Rose

Join John and I in Costa Rica Sept. 2024 for a relationship retreat; early bird pricing ends Dec. 31, 2023: https://joreerose.com/retreats/costa-rica/   After coming back together after a short, but painful breakup, John and I consciously adopted daily and weekly habits and tools to strengthen our relationship. While we had always put time and attention into our relationship, it didn’t always result in the connection or alignment that we both needed to feel seen, heard, validated or fulfilled. In this episode, we go into detail, sharing what we did differently than before to consciously step towards one another in an effort to demonstrate our love, commitment, and dedication to the relationship. Once again, we share very vulnerable and honest examples and insights into how we healed in the hopes that we can inspire you to create shifts in your relationship. We know that strong relationships are foundational to your happiness and health so we invite you to adopt some of what we have embodied so that you can th

Anyone who is in a relationship knows how difficult it can be to divide up the household and child responsibilities. Too often, inequity in partnership can lead to great frustration, build resentment and affect the quality of connection. In this episode, I talk with Zach Watson who is a content creator on the topic of fair play, which is equitable mental and emotional load, along with the benefit of sharing domestic responsibilities. He shares the factors that laid the foundation for an ease of sharing the responsibilities with his wife, including being raised by a mom who taught him to respect women, along with having an inherent interest and desire for personal growth and effective communication. Zach shares in detail the shifts he made when his wife was pregnant, including giving up drinking and wearing a weighted belt so that he could fully embrace and emulate her pregnancy experience, making it their joint pregnancy experience. This is an example of how a small inconvenience can lead to an increase in eq

Relationships are not easy and love is not enough. And especially when we come from a challenging childhood homelife, we quickly learn what doesn’t feel good and know the patterns we don’t want to continue in our future relationships, but we don’t always know the “how” to do that. In this episode, well-known best-selling author and renowned relational therapist Terry Real shares insights and tools on how to build a foundation of relational awareness so that we can develop healthy and thriving partnerships. He shares how the gift of a dysfunctional family is heightened emotional awareness as it forces you to tune into the micro cues of others’ behaviors, moods, and tone, as well as how to develop a stance of self-protection, as the key is survival. Terry has taken his personal experiences of growing up in a difficult home environment as the foundation for developing a transformative relational style of couple’s therapy that highlights how to overcome your trauma so that you can connect with those you love in a

Here’s the true story of two therapists who fell in love, struggled in their relationship with some repetitive, seemingly unbreakable patterns that lead to a painful breakup and how they eventually healed to be better than ever. In this Season 5 opener, me and my now-again fiancé, Dr. John Schinnerer, share our very vulnerable journey over the past year of what led to our breakup and how we were able to come back together. We always knew love isn’t enough, and our love for one another was never in question. However, an accumulation of small hurts, combined with wounds and traumas from our past and childhood got in the way of us being able to be fully authentic, vulnerable and ultimately able to hear one another. Despite our education, training and careers, we found ourselves in the painful (and common!) anxious-avoidant dance that many couples get into. And after a couple of months apart, realizing that we were the only ones for each other, we committed to doing the deep work of healing, which has led us to b

Growing up with worth, esteem and confidence is something we all want for our children, especially our daughters, and yet it is something that is not always easy to accomplish. In absence of these attributes many parents are sending their girls off into the world potentially unprepared to thrive. In this episode, I talk with Nellie Harden, a family life coach and founder of the 6570 Family Project which guides girls in learning to trust themselves, be aligned in their values and embody confidence so she can become the leader of her life! Nellie is passionate about guiding parents in how to decode their daughters so that they can mindfully use the 6570 days before their kids turn 18 to provide a solid foundation for their future. We cover in depth what it looks like to raise girls with worth, esteem and confidence, and ways in which to model these values. Nellie shares her experience in raising 4 daughters, now all teenagers, to be in service to others, be anchored in moments of joy throughout the day, and lea

Hey ladies! Have you ever experienced a decrease in desire for sex? Or, have you experienced pain associated with sex, preventing you from enjoying it? Or have you ever had a wandering mind (like thinking about what you’re going to make for dinner tomorrow, or setting up a playdate for your kids) that has left you completely not present during sex? If any of this is familiar to you, you’re not alone! In this week’s episode, I talk with Dr. Lori Brotto, a clinical psychologist and sex researcher who has helped women understand their normative and adoptive changes in their sex response so that more pleasurable and enjoyable sex is available to them. She shares her research in which women’s body are positively responding to sexual stimuli with a higher arousal than what is self-reported. This mind/body disconnect can be the result from a myriad of causes such as negative self-talk, chronic stress or fatigue, depression or anxiety, illness, trauma or unhealthy relationships. The solution to creating more synchron

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the “right” things but still aren’t getting to where you want to be in your life? Or like you are following a formula for success, and you are seeing others achieve their goals but you’re not quite reaching yours? If you have experienced this, you are not alone…and probably are looking in all the wrong areas for the solution. In this week’s episode, I interview Melissa Wright, who as an expert in Human Design, explains what Human Design is and how you can use it to understand yourself and how to live in full alignment with your purpose. Your Human Design is your mental, emotional and sacral life force energy that is impacted by cosmos from the moment of your birth and it activates traits specific to you. When you get a reading done, it’ll show you how you can harness your strengths and personality to reach your full potential in the way in which you are uniquely designed. When you are not in alignment with who you actually are, you likely will keep spinning your wheels

I don’t think there is anyone who has never experienced the pain of a break-up. It can be one of the most debilitating and devastating things we go through, and can sometimes even prevent us from opening up our hearts to others. Or, breakups can lead to breakthroughs, if we have the awareness and ability to look at ourselves and gain insight and understanding into how not only we can heal, but how we can learn how to grow and be a more evolved, mature self in our next relationship. In this episode, I talk with heartbreak coach Keishorne Scott, who after a difficult breakup over a decade ago learned how to heal, love himself and grow into becoming the partner that he wanted to be. We talk about what healing actually means and how to begin the steps to healing after heartbreak, and how to recognize when you’ve done the healing work enough to begin to move on. Keishorne also vulnerably shares his journey of becoming a stronger man, how to reach out for support to other men, how to take self-inventory so that he

You are not too f***king old to do what you f***king what! This is the motto that Jen Marples lives by as she is a champion for mid-life women to live a life of purpose, passion and ease. After having gone through a sh*t-storm of a few years, running a successful PR firm and raising 3 young kids, she had the breakdown that led to the breakthrough resulting in the question of “who am I outside of my roles?” It is all too common and easy for women to just keep going despite the negative impact it has on their health, mental health or relationships. Jen got herself to a place of stability, through therapy, yoga, stillness as well as stepping out of her comfort zone to do things alone so that she could allow serendipity to step in, and now she coaches women on how to do the same. Jen supports women in how to pivot and in this episode walks through the steps you can take to come from a place of joy and ease, how to trust and surrender to the Universe, and how to thrive in mid-life in preparation for the 2nd half b

It can be so difficult to feel as though you have to live your life being a role that has either been placed on you by others, or that you feel obligated out of expectation to be. For some people they can tolerate living in this dissonance and for others, there is no choice but to be a disrupter to the status quo and choose a more aligned path. In this week’s episode, I talk with Susan Maruffo, who in her late 20’s realized that her marriage and her successful career in advertising were leaving her feeling empty, unfulfilled and turning to alcohol to cope. She uprooted herself and delved into the unknown as began a journey to find her voice and healing through yoga, which came with the ego death of everything she had thought about what her life was supposed to be. Ultimately Susan opened Samasara Center, a community for seekers, in which she facilitates yoga, self-inquiry and her signature course and corresponding retreats, Yoga, Sex & Death which is seeing the world through a yogaic lens of everything be

Have you ever had the experience in which you just felt something in your body, and wanted to believe it as truth, even if you had no logical reasoning for why you were feeling what you were feeling? You probably have, and this is your body giving you messages, that you likely have been conditioned to ignore. We live in a culture and society in which we value logic, reason, and rationality, and often dismiss what we feel. However, when you can harness this awareness of your gut feelings, you likely will never be steered the wrong way. In this week’s podcast, I talk with clairvoyant Janet Rae Orth, who has been developing her sense of “clear seeing” since she was young. She began doing readings for others, which validated their experiences, often giving them confirmation of what they felt, but were unsure of what to do with what they felt. Janet provides tools and practices to strengthen your own intuitive abilities and how somatic experiences can deepen your connection to your body, emotions and feelings. If

How would you face your challenges differently if you believed that life was happening for you and not to you? What would shift for you if you learned how to stop being a people pleaser and developed the ability for internal, rather than external validation? In this podcast episode, I talk with Wendy Sterling, who is an author and coach, guiding women to uncover their joy, self-worth and freedom. We discuss the challenges of feeling stuck, how to shift from blaming others and feeling like a victim to your life circumstances to being able to take accountability and responsibility for your actions and choices, and more importantly to find the humility to see your role in what unfolds. Wendy is the author of the new book, Divorce Sucks, Now What? And she shares her framework of how to live free from pain, fear and anger and more in abundance and self-love. If you are someone who is tired of feeling stuck in the same cycle of patterns and is ready to finally move into a healthier and more aligned way of living, t

Do you ever have a desire, want something to manifest in your life or set an intention for how you’d like your life to unfold? I know your answer is most certainly a YES! And, of all the desires or intentions you set, how many of them would you say actually come to fruition? My guess is that you’d most likely say only a few have actually worked out the way that you hoped, am I right? What if I told you that it was possible to get more of what you want, more of the time, would you believe me? What if I shared the ways for you to actually achieve your desires, would you engage in those practices? In this episode, I share the wisdom I gained during my recent journey of being on a 9-day Abraham-Hicks cruise; I explain who Abraham-Hicks is, what the Law of Attraction is, why it matters, and how you can practice it. I’ll cover my top take-aways such as how to tune into your emotions as an indicator of whether you are in alignment with your desires, how to stop controlling the outcomes and emotional experiences of o

Life unfolds when we are in authenticity, and so often we don’t know how to stay in alignment to allow our authenticity to flow. In this week’s episode, I talk with KJ Atlas, who is a professional astrologer that guides how to return to the blueprint that was set the moment we were born. When we can learn to rid ourselves of the excess noise of our lives, and follow this practical tool, we can optimize our life and our path. Astrology provides a code that is not only a mirror to nature, but helps us tap into our inner wiring to assist in our journey of self discovery. In this conversation, KJ shares how much valuable information we can learn from our birth chart (the snapshot of planetary alignment from the moment you are born, and even how to use this information to your benefit in your career, in relationships and in making big decisions, including optimal places for you to live. She also explains the different aspects of astrology to pay attention to aside from your sun sign, which is the horoscope most of

Have you ever experienced chronic pain that resulted after a year of stress or trauma? My guest this week is Jane Hogan, who after hitting an emotional rock bottom, developed rheumatoid arthritis with a bleak prognosis. Despite the fear of a lifetime of enduring hardship, she listened to her inner knowing that not only was she going to get through this but that she was going to help others get through it as well. She went from being a civil engineer to becoming certified as a health coach, determined to uncover the root causes of people’s chronic pain. In this beautiful and impactful interview, Jane shares the ways in which we can heal our mind and body and the impact of the power of our mind. We truly can create our futures through our thoughts, vibrations and energy; and if you think this is woo-woo, it’s actually physics, so this belief is rooted in science. Jane ends the conversation guiding a radical self-love meditation, which is at the root of all healing.   About Jane: Jane Hogan, "The Wellness Engine

To have soul path guidance is to discover the inner treasures that are being revealed in our lives but that we often ignore. We all have those little nudges inside of us that are trying to awaken us to growth and change, but we are so good at not paying attention to them. We have selective listening and don’t often do the work to notice what is trying to get our attention, since then we may have to make a different choice, and change can be hard. And yet, when we decide to listen to those internal nudges, and are open to the question of “how am I being called forth in this moment for me to know what is next?” then we can take aligned action that supports our soul’s purpose. In this episode, I talked with Pamela Johnson, who guides her clients into attunement of the 12 archetypes that are guiding us towards specific experiences, so that we can trust how our path is unfolding and become more active participants in our journey. If you are someone who wants to learn how to harness the messages you are receiving a

There are so many modalities we use to heal our traumas, process our lives and make sense of the current season we are moving through. In this week’s podcast episode, I talk with Michelle Dench, who is an intuitive astrologer, and uses her gifts and passion of reading the astrological birth chart along with her insights for healing in relationship and family patterns to guide her clients in healing. She so beautifully explains how our lives our impacted by the seasons - the changes of light and dark - and how when we can come to know ourselves and our relationships more deeply through a deeper understanding of the alignment of the energies from the stars and planets, we can be more attuned with the process of the soul. Michelle shares the impact of the once in a lifetime shifts occurring this month - March 2023 - with the ending of a 248-year cycle of Pluto and the end of a 30-year cycle of Saturn, namely that we are on the precipice of irrevocable change. She even pulls up my chart and gives me a short perso

The challenge was so good that I wanted to share the 10 shifts here so that more people can begin to journey forward into living aligned, fulfilling and abundant lives. When we think about creating change, it’s easy to believe that we need to make big changes producing big results. The problem with that belief system is that we aren’t able to implement big change because our expectations are often too high for too much to change at once. Rather, the best way to create the lasting change you seek is to do small, attainable steps that are facing in the direction of what you desire. In this episode, I walk you through 10 different ways that you can look at yourself and your challenges so that you can respond in a new way, allowing you to put yourself on a new trajectory.

In this episode, I talk with Kristin Urbanus who is a practitioner of spiritual psychology and somatic touch, a life coach along with being a yoga and meditation teacher. We take a deep dive into the nuances of how to regulate our nervous system when we are stuck in patterns that go beyond our cognitive or emotional consciousness. When we can become more aware of the multi-dimensional aspects of our human experience, we can then recognize that there are multiple ways we can rewire our patterns, heal traumas, get through challenges, and feel more whole and complete in our lives. We discuss the value of Internal Family Systems theory in understanding how to integrate the different “parts” of ourselves, how to move into being an observer of our own experience, how to decrease judgment and increase self-compassion, and how to put our present-

To join the next cohort of The Journey Forward Method, starting Feb. 28, click here.    Our body does not lie. When something feels off, it likely is, and yet we often dismiss these cues because we don’t want to have to face or deal with, or make a different choice. We get stuck in our heads and how we want things to be and get in habits of ignoring the cues that are available to us. Our ego, or thoughts of what we wanted things to be, prevent us from taking action when we are not in alignment because we tend to believe our thoughts as truth. In this episode, I talk through the ways in which the body does not lie, and how we were wired for their to be physiological cues as indicators when we are in an unsafe (emotionally or physically) situation. This can go back to attachment styles from early childhood, unhealthy yet perpetual relationship dynamics in which we choose connection over safety, and yet over time, we can learn to gain greater agency over our choices and relationships to feel good more of the tim
