When High Functioning Becomes Self-Abandonment
Journey Forward with Joree Rose
In this deeply personal continuation of the June theme Burnout & Boundaries, I open up about how I’ve come face-to-face with high-functioning codependency—something I didn’t even know I was still living in until recently. Even after decades of therapy, self-awareness, and teaching mindfulness-based tools, I found myself burned out again. Why? Because I was still unconsciously operating from trauma-driven patterns: over-functioning, anticipating others’ needs, people-pleasing, and believing my worth was tied to how much I could do for everyone else. In this episode, I share: The...

When Doing it All Stops Working
Journey Forward with Joree Rose
In this raw and revealing episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something many of us silently endure: burnout. After years of over-functioning—building two businesses, being a full-time therapist and mom, content creator, partner, and more—I hit a wall. Again. This time, I couldn't ignore the signs. So I’m sharing what led me here, what I’ve learned about myself in the process, and how I’m courageously choosing to do less in order to live more authentically and sustainably. We’ll explore: The hidden cost of being “high-functioning? Why even values-aligned work can lead...

Mind Full or Mindful?
Journey Forward with Joree Rose
This episode is an invitation to pause—and get honest about what you’ve been carrying that’s no longer serving you. Whether it’s old beliefs, unprocessed emotions, habitual overthinking, or that constant striving for the next thing… it’s time to ask: Is this helping me, or is this holding me back? We’re diving deep into the heart of mindfulness—what it really means to be present, to notice without judgment, and to stop outsourcing your happiness to things outside your control.

Happiness Is an Inside Job
Journey Forward with Joree Rose
This week, I’m inviting you into one of the most important conversations we can have: What truly makes you happy? Not the fleeting kind of happiness that comes from vacations, new shoes, or a great dinner out (though those are wonderful too!)—but the kind of happiness that’s sustainable, grounded, and internal. In this episode, I break down: Why we often look outside ourselves to feel good—and why it doesn’t last How disconnection from ourselves keeps us stuck in autopilot The difference between joy, contentment, and fulfillment What the Buddha can teach us about real peace...

When I Thought Slowing Down Might Kill Me
Journey Forward with Joree Rose
This episode kicks off our May theme: “Slow Down, You Move Too Fast.” And wow… this one is personal. I’m sharing the story of my very first meditation — and how, even though it was only 10 minutes, it felt like torture. (Yes, I genuinely thought I might die… and no, I’m not being dramatic.) For most of my life, I didn’t know how to slow down. I was always in motion, chasing the next thing, hoping I’d eventually land in a place of peace, contentment, or security. But what I didn’t realize is that what I was searching for could only be found in the present moment — and I...

What if Being Stuck is Actually an Invitation?
Journey Forward with Joree Rose
In this episode of Journey Forward with Joree Rose, Joree shares a deeply personal reflection on what it means to come back to ourselves—again and again—through the practice of mindfulness.
