How to Practice Gratitude without the Toxic Positivity
Every year near Thanksgiving, Joree gets practical about gratitude - beyond seasonal clichés and without bypassing what’s hard. You’ll learn how to work with your brain’s negativity bias, use neuroplasticity to “take in the good,” and practice gratitude that deepens presence, resilience, and connection, especially in relationships. Joree also shares favorite tools from her book A Year of Gratitude (365 daily prompts and practices), the “one thing, five reasons” exercise, and a simple guided practice for receiving appreciation so it actually lands. If you’ve worried that gratitude means ignoring the storm, this conversation shows you how to acknowledge the storm and feel the rainbow when it comes - no spiritual bypass required.

Stop the Spiral: Real-Time Tools for Self-Compassion and Boundaries

Stop the Spiral: Real-Time Tools for Self-Compassion and Boundaries
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 to lasting change. Expect practical language you can use immediately - at work, in relationships, and with yourself - so you can swap self-abandonment for self-support and become the kind of inner ally you’ve always needed.

Boundaries as Self-Love: The Missing Pillar of Self-Compassion

Boundaries as Self-Love: The Missing Pillar of Self-Compassion
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 self-compassionate postures (i.e. hand-on-heart, heart-opener, warrior stance, and even a self-hug) can actually help self-regulate in the moment. Joree also walks you through simple loving-kindness phrases you can personalize until you actually believe them. If your inner critic has been running the show, this episode gives you practical, compassionate tools to turn the volume down on that inner critic and how to turn up the volume on your worthiness.

The Power of Befriending Your Inner Critic
We’re kicking off October with a truth bomb: your inner critic isn’t the enemy—it’s a clumsy protector with terrible delivery. In this episode, Joree unpacks how that harsh voice keeps you stuck in perfectionism, comparison, fear, and shame, and shows you how to pause, get curious, and rewire it into a compassionate ally. 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.

Living True, Living Fully: The Path to Authenticity and Abundance
In the final episode of a 3-part series delving into a powerful, transformative framework, Joree will walk you through the final 2 steps: authenticity and abundance. After awakening to possibility, building awareness, and stepping into alignment, you’re now ready to live from your truest self and step fully into a mindset of enoughness. We explore how authenticity frees us from people-pleasing, empowers us to set healthy boundaries, and allows us to live from the inside out rather than by others’ expectations. Finally, it's Joree’s assertion that the inevitable outcome of doing the work of the first 4 steps is abundance; living a life that is full and expansive. She explores abundance, not as financial wealth, but as a state of gratitude, possibility, opportunity and fulfillment that naturally flows when we live as our truest, highest self. If you have the deep knowing that there is more to your life, and you are ready to do the work to create the change you are seeking, then this episode will inspire you in the what and how to Journey Forward so that you can live in a courageous, mindful way that leads to freedom, self-trust, and joy.

From Tight in a Bud to Blossoming
Inspired by the quote from Anaïs Nin, “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom,” this episode invites you into the heart of what it truly means to Journey Forward. Joree shares the emotional, spiritual, and psychological process of creating lasting change - not by needing to necessary overhaul your entire life, but by beginning to reclaim your truth, rewrite old outdated stories you’ve been in a habit of living by, and taking aligned, intentional steps forward. In addition to learning some practical tools, along with her personal story, Joree offers a single, but powerful question to consider as the first step in your ongoing self-exploration. If you're ready to step into the version of yourself that is craving to emerge, this episode is for you.

Untangling the Past to Build a Secure Future
In this powerful crossover episode, we (Joree & John) open up about the real work it took to heal the attachment wounds we each brought into our relationship. Like so many couples, we found ourselves caught in the anxious/avoidant cycle—pursuing, withdrawing, misunderstanding—and it took conscious effort, deep reflection, and lots of compassion to shift out of those patterns. Together, we share how doing our individual and relational healing helped us build a foundation of safety and security. We talk about what it actually looks like to move from reactivity to intentional connection, and how secure attachment isn’t something you’re just born with—it’s something you build. This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck in relationship dynamics that feel frustrating or familiar, and who’s ready to grow beyond old wounds and into a more grounded, connected love.

When High Functioning Becomes Self-Abandonment

When High Functioning Becomes Self-Abandonment
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 wake-up call that finally made me see what I couldn’t unsee What high-functioning codependency actually looks like How trauma imprints in the nervous system and drives over-responsibility Why doing it all doesn't always mean doing it well What healthy boundaries sound like—and how to start setting them I also reflect on what it means to be self-considerate, not just self-sacrificing, and how I'm choosing to live more aligned—even when that means doing less. This is a healing invitation to pause, reassess your patterns, and ask: What am I still carrying that’s no longer mine? Want to go deeper on your journey?

When Doing it All Stops Working
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 to burnout How trauma responses and people-pleasing keep us overextended Tangible, research-backed tools to begin healing And the essential mindset shift that comes with setting boundaries that actually stick This is the start of a new theme for June: Burnout + Boundaries. I hope my vulnerability gives you permission to look inward and ask: Is this working for me? And if not—what needs to change? Tune in. Pause. Reflect. And remember: you don’t have to carry it all.

Joree explores why mindfulness and meditation are not just wellness buzzwords, but essential practices for healing, growth, and transformation.

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.

When I Thought Slowing Down Might Kill Me
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 had no idea how to access it. In this episode, I unpack: Why slowing down can feel so confronting (especially if you’re not used to it) The myths we carry about what meditation should look like How discomfort is often the doorway to real transformation Whether you’re brand new to mindfulness or just need a reminder of why you started, this is your invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself — without judgment, pressure, or perfection.

What if Being Stuck is Actually an Invitation?

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?

Just like the spirals of the Unalome, we all have moments where we feel stuck in patterns, overwhelmed by emotion, or disconnected from our true selves. Joree shares how mindfulness can become a powerful tool to increase awareness of these stuck places, and how simply naming where you are is often the very first step toward shifting out of it.

Back and Better than Ever!
What 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!

How to Stop Being a People-Pleaser, with Dr. John Schinnerer
Anyone who has ever been a people-pleaser can know how hard it is to be in relationships that don’t have reciprocity. It can feel like we give and give and give, and just because we are connected in the relationship, can think it’s enough, when in reality, we end up feeling depleted and resentful. In this joint episode, with my partner in life and love, Dr. John Schinnerer, we talk about 6 areas that people-pleasers can get stuck in or struggle with, along with some of the context that may lead you to becoming a people-pleaser. The 6 areas that we go in depth into are: difficulty drawing boundaries, feeling an overactive sense of guilt, being conflict avoidant, having a fear of loneliness, building resentment and not knowing what your needs are. If you are someone that feels an imbalance in your relationships, and wants greater insight into why you may be doing what you’re doing, and have the tools to shift into healthier relationship patterns, then this episode is for you.

The Anxious-Avoidant Trap, with Dr. John Schinnerer

The Anxious-Avoidant Trap, with Dr. John Schinnerer
One of the most common struggles many couples face is what’s known as the anxious-avoidant dance; it looks like this: one partner has an anxious attachment style and gets triggered by her partner needing a time out during an argument, or threatening to leave. The other partner has an avoidant attachment style and gets emotionally flooded during disagreements. During these challenging moments, the anxious partner seeks to turn towards their partner, needing to reconnect in order to calm their physiology. The avoidant person turns away from the relationship, seeking time and space to calm themselves. The anxious partner pursues the avoidant partner verbally and physically, resulting in neither person getting their needs met. And even though this is one of the most common relational dynamics we have seen in our private practice assisting couples, one of the best ways to get out of this dance is through awareness and insight into what is occurring; only then can couples get back on the path to rekindle their passion and connection. And unfortunately, we have struggled with this dynamic in our relationship as well! Listen in as we explain what this dynamic is and, more importantly, how to break out of it for a happier and more connected relationship. Here’s a hint: It takes a combination of individual work and relational work to evolve beyond it! If you are someone who is wanting to get out of dysfunctional patterns, then this episode is for you.

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. To reclaim their true self.

Disentangling Enmeshed Family Dynamics, with Mary Beth Somich
As a therapist, Mary Beth is passionate about guiding millennials in modern mental health, which she defines as support that is accessible and relatable so that there is an increase in healing. A main focus of her practice is helping teens and young adults understand how to navigate boundaries and individuation if they are in an enmeshed family system. Enmeshment occurs when there is a lack of boundaries, often rooted in a parent (often the mother) getting her emotional needs met by her children, rather than from a partner or friends. This dynamic prevents young adults from easily voicing their own needs, wants or desires because the expectation puts the parent’s needs above theirs. Mary Beth shares strategies, tools and insights on how to shift out of these unhealthy patterns so that they can develop healthy relational dynamics in their future. If you are someone who has been affected by an enmeshed family system or would like to support someone who you know is, then this episode is for you! About Mary Beth: Mary Beth Somich is a licensed therapist with a group private practice located in North Carolina called Your Journey Through. She completed her graduate training at Columbia University and specializes in family dynamic work with teens and adults. Mary Beth is passionate about promoting modern mental health and making therapy accessible and relatable.
