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 e

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. Julia shares her courageous story of becoming a single mom when her daughter was only 2 months old, and how from feeling alone, she decided to build a local community and network of single moms, which now almost 9 years later. is a global community! She is now a certified divorce coach and helps hundreds of women go through their journey with greater grace, connections and support. This conversation will be sure to inspire anyone who is on this journey and will help

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 o

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 tur

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’

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 alw

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.

To join the Spring cohort of The Journey Forward Method, starting March 24: https://joreerose.com/journeyforwardmethod/ Special discount code: SWEET16   Happiness, while it is a birthright, does not come easy for everyone. 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 fu

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 an

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 regul

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

After a career in youth development and community building, as well as a struggle in losing herself in her motherhood journey, Julie Neale combined her expertise and life’s path into creating a community called Mother’s Quest. She is passionate about offering mothers space to claim as their own to support connections, growth, unconditional love, resilience and resources, to help moms not feel so lost in their own mothering journey. On this 5th anniversary of Mother’s Quest, Julie not only reflects on her own path that led to this milestone, but shares the wisdom in her recent book that helps women cultivate a life of what matters the most. As a coach, she guides women in how to spark their E.P.I.C. life: how to be engaged mindfully with their kids, be passionate and purposeful, invest in self, and be connected to community. If you are a mom who has ever felt lost on any part of your mothering journey, this is the episode for you!   Julie’s Bio:  Julie Neale is a life and leadership coach, community builder, w

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 val

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 Sh
