Stop the Spiral: Real-Time Tools for Self-Compassion and Boundaries
Journey Forward with Joree Rose
This episode goes deeper into two pillars of healing: quieting your inner critic and practicing genuine self-compassion. Joree breaks down how harsh self-talk can sometimes masquerade as “motivation,” how to spot whose voice you’re actually hearing inside your mind whenever your inner critic gets loud, and what to do in the exact moment you start spiraling. You’ll learn a simple real-time interrupt-and-reframe method, a three-times-daily self check-in that builds awareness with compassion (not judgment), and how boundaries, nervous-system regulation, and reframing shame open the door...

Boundaries as Self-Love: The Missing Pillar of Self-Compassion
Journey Forward with Joree Rose
Self-compassion isn’t just “being nice to yourself” - it’s a trainable skill that rewires how you relate to pain, shame, and stress. In this episode, Joree breaks down Kristin Neff’s three pillars - mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness - and expands them with two game-changers: values-based boundaries and letting go of what no longer serves you. You’ll learn how to combat the fear of emotional “backdraft,” the power of shifting how you name things to yourself, such as saying “I’m experiencing anxiety right now,” vs “I am anxious” and how embodying...

The Power of Befriending Your Inner Critic
Journey Forward with Joree Rose
We’re kicking off October with a truth bomb: your inner critic isn’t the enemy—it’s a clumsy protector with terrible delivery.

Drawing on mindfulness, research-informed practices (hat tip to Kristin Neff), and real-life examples, you’ll learn how to turn down the volume on self-criticism so you can turn up authenticity, boundaries, and embodied joy.

info_outlineWhat Joree thought was going to be the end of her podcast a year ago, actually just turned into a hiatus, and she is so thrilled to be back! And not only is she back, but she’s reinvigorated with a clarity and vision that she’s never had; this isn’t just a podcast, it’s a movement. Think part podcast, part master class series and part community! The episodes are going to be connected by a monthly theme, and April’s theme is: You Can’t Change What You’re Not Aware Of. In this episode, Joree shares why she has felt under a rock for the past two and a half years, what led to her being on a deep healing journey, and more importantly what she learned along the way. Joree shares two questions she constantly asked herself when things got super hard, how those questions grounded her into trust and resilience, and why sometimes you have to just f*ck self-care and what you can do instead. If you are on a journey of self-insight, growth, healing,or transformation, then not only is this episode something you don’t want to miss, but you’re also going to want to check out the new community she is creating.
