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

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 da

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 awaren

He believes that life becomes less complicated when we are living our truth and is passionately and authentically guiding others in how to live their truth.

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 pract

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+ yea

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 organiza

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.

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

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

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

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 unknow
