What if Being Stuck is Actually an Invitation? 04/17/2025

What if Being Stuck is Actually an Invitation? 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. After noticing how easy it is to slip into autopilot and feel disconnected, she made a conscious decision to slow down and return to my foundational tools for presence, awareness, and healing. A central theme in this episode is the cycle of reactivity—those familiar patterns we find ourselves caught in when we’re triggered, overwhelmed, or emotionally hijacked. Joree talks about how mindfulness becomes the bridge out of that reactive loop, offering us the pause we need to respond rather than react. You’ll hear: What it looks like to unintentionally drift from presence—and how to gently find your way back. How the body holds cues that tell us when we’re caught in reactivity, and how to listen. The difference between reacting from old patterns vs. responding from conscious awareness. Practical ways to interrupt the cycle of reactivity through breath, self-compassion, and intentionality. This episode is an invitation to remember: you are not your reactions. You are the awareness behind them. And every moment is a new opportunity to choose a different path—one that leads to more peace, alignment, and freedom. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just yearning to feel more connected to yourself and your life, this conversation will meet you where you are and guide you gently forward. ✨ Want support in practicing this in real time?

Psychedelics for Everyone with Matt Zemon 02/26/2024

Psychedelics for Everyone with Matt Zemon As trauma affects millions of people around the world, the search for how to heal is ongoing. We are now in the beginning of what’s considered to be the psychedelic renaissance as there has been a re-emergence of using psychedelics for healing; the research behind it is not only amazing and abundant, but it’s showing that psychedelics are more effective than any pharmaceutical tool in a psychiatrist’s toolbox. This is a thrilling evolution in the field of psychotherapy and many psychedelics are on the verge of being legalized or therapeutic use. The first time that Matt Zemon went on a guided psychedelic journey, he not only learned about himself in a way that he never had before; the way he looked at the world completely changed - for the better! It allowed him to gain insight into the spiritual interconnectivity of everything and understand how this could lead to impactful and lasting healing in a way that he had never before experienced. In this episode, Matt shares the power of psychedelics on how it can change our brain, heal our traumas and shift out of a scarcity and lack mindset into an abundant worldview. We talk about different psychedelics - ketamine, MDMA, psilocybin (or more commonly known as magic mushrooms), ayahuasca and LSD - and how they each differ and how to understand the psychological and healing abilities of plant medicine. If you are someone interested in healing, then this episode is for you. About Matt: Matt Zemon, MSc, is a dedicated explorer of the inner world, and a passionate advocate for the thoughtful and responsible use of psychedelics. With a Master of Science in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health with honors from King’s College London, Matt has studied the effects of psychedelics on the mind and the potential for these experiences to serve as a catalyst for positive transformations. His work in this field is motivated by a profound desire to help people navigate the sometimes challenging terrain of the psychedelic experience, and emerge from it with a deeper sense of purpose, connection, and understanding.
