Journey Forward with Joree Rose

Marriage and family therapist turned relationship coach, Kama Hurley, and I are on the same page when it comes to manifesting the relationship you're wanting. This episode covers so many valuable tools for anyone struggling to find the right person, or maintaining a strong relationship with the one you do have. After a series of unhealthy relationships and health issues, Kama realized she had to step back and slow down to not only manage her stress, but to awaken to what was not working in her life. She now guides women to work through their own stuff and let go of attachment to predetermined expectations so they can become more authentic and aligned. We talk about how from that place of clarity, you can choose a life in which you feel whole, complete and content and ultimately be able to attract the right person into their life, while repelling the wrong ones. If you want to get out of the same old patterns of relationship and find the right person who adds to your life, then this episode is for you. Kama's bio:

This is a beautiful conversation with Alena Turley in which we talk about how easy it is to lose ourselves in our roles of wife, mom, caretaker or even employee. And unless we consciously create the space for our own compassionate self-care, we can feel lost, overwhelmed, depleted or could become resentful or reactive to those we love most. Alena shares insightful wisdom about how to honor our children's inner truth, how to cultivate rejuvenative self-care and how to deepen our relationships.

Alena's bio:

Alena Turley is an award-winning Australian educator, podcaster and martial artist.

Have you ever set an intention, and then the Universe gave you multiple signs that you were on the right path? This has happened to Joree many times, and the past 2 weeks has been a powerful example of just how powerful aligned energy can be. In this solocast, Joree shares a personal recent story of how she has been working on aligning her energy, reclaiming her power and breaking old narratives that were holding her back, and then all of the synchronicities that occurred. There are never any accidents. If you want to get inspired by the magic that occurs when the quality of your thoughts aligns with your desires, then be sure to take a listen.

As women, there is so much that we experience in our bodies throughout the course of our lives that feels out of our control. And how we are socialized can impact our narrative of how we view natural occurring processes such as menstruation and menopause. When we are raised with a narrative of "this sucks" or fearing "the big change" it will impact how we relate to these biological and necessary shifts in our bodies. In this conversation with Ruth Jamieson, who is a nutritional therapist and functional medicine practitioner, we talk about the experience that she went through in perimenopause that lead her to seeking more information not only about her own body, but how to guide women in increasing great awareness and understanding of their own bodies, as well as ways they could soften their shifts into perimenopause and menopause. This helpful and insightful conversation will help any woman to feel more empowered about how to take more control over their overall health. Hint: diet and lifestyle are almost always the answer!

Bio:

After failing to get answers for some unusual symptoms in her early 40s, Ruth discovered they were related to Perimenopause. Her own journey and research into this very important and natural phase of a woman's life, opened her eyes to a whole world of unnecessary suffering and lack of support for women going through perimenopause.

Knowing from her own experience that it needn't be this way, she felt compelled to help women change the perimenopause narrative, and navigate through perimenopause naturally with cutting edge hormone testing, diet, lifestyle, and natural supplements.

She is a women's health and hormones expert, the founder of Empowered Wellness her online clinic supporting women 1-2-1, and her Menopause Matters and Magic group coaching membership, helping women in their 40s and 50s sail smoothly through perimenopause so they can feel better than ever, and live a life they love.

In this joint episode, with my fiancee Dr. John Schinnerer, we talk through common pattern dynamics that we see in couples. It looks something like this: the man is feeling insecure and needs reassurance, for which he continuously reaches out to his partner, though the way he seeks reassurance and connection is through blame, shame or judgment. This in turn, pushes his partner further away, creating greater disconnection, the very opposite thing that he is seeking. John and I dissect these relational patterns with curiosity of what is the underlying problem. If you are in a relationship with these dynamics, you'll want to take a listen.

This week marks the 2 year anniversary of Covid impacting our lives - two years ago, virtual school became a thing, shelter in place was all about staying up late and making sourdough and we learned that we could work from home, wearing sweats or leggings. This "great pause" as I like to call it helped highlight what was working and what wasn't working in our day-to-day grind of modern life. Upon this anniversary of Covid, I invite you to reflect on what you learned about yourself and the way in which you want to be living your life. For me, it's been about creating better balance, finding ways to be more intentional about my time and energy, and how to not just jump back on the hamster wheel. In this episode I talk about how to make those conscious choices, along with how, at the end of the day, we can choose our own happiness and that it's in how we relate to our experiences - rather than the experiences themselves - that bring us peace and joy.

Happiness, while it is a birthright, does not come easy for everyone. You can "have it all" - the job, relationship, house, car, achievements or accolades, and yet, still experience depression. In this deeply powerful conversation, I talk with Rob Mack, who despite having a great life, was deeply depressed and suicidal for over 2 decades. In the split second of after beginning to act upon his suicidal ideation, he felt a moment of peace and decided to hold off on killing himself for a few more minutes to see if he could harness that sensation of peace a few moments longer. Those few moments not only saved his life, but turned it completely around as he developed a deep curiosity and passion for learning how to cultivate happiness, from the inside out and now is a happiness coach and author guiding others in how to live a blissful life. This conversation is full of wisdom, depth, honesty, vulnerability, spirituality, positive psychology, and a ton of tools for people who want to live a happier, more joyful, connected and peaceful life. This is one of my favorite conversations, and is one not to be missed!

Any parent who has ever protected their child from feeling an uncomfortable emotion, wanted to prevent them from being in an uncomfortable situation or didn't adequately prepare their child to gain the skills to get through challenges needs to listen to this episode. I speak with the amazing Julie Lythcott-Haims, who is a lawyer, turned Stanford University dean, turned author, who is writing to help parents back off from over parenting their children and actually learn how to repattern the unskillful patterns that are preventing young adults from living a thriving life. So many parents have good intentions and yet poor execution, and while many parents are wanting to reduce their kids' anxiety, the results of overparenting are actually increasing anxiety for both parents and kids. This candid conversation shares not only personal stories but really helpful and practical tools that any parent, with kids of any age, will benefit from. Julie also shares about her new book, recently released, Your Turn, which she considers to be a follow up from her first book, How to Raise an Adult.

Here's the articles we mention in the conversation:

If you have ever felt "off" and wasn't sure what to blame it on, there's a good chance that your hormones were out of balance, wreaking all sorts of havoc in areas of your body that you may not think were related. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Brandi Moore, who is a naturopathic doctor passionate about teaching others to understand their hormones, and it was one of my favorite interviews EVER! We cover the impact on low testosterone for men, and what it means to have estrogen dominance for women. And I think most importantly, why managing your stress, and therefore your cortisol levels, are so important for maintaining optimal health. If you are someone who is interested in how to truly be healthy from the inside out, then don't miss this conversation!

Brandi's bio:

Dr. Brandi is a Naturopathic Doctor and hormone expert whose health changed significantly when she was able to balance her own hormones. She now guides other women along the same path. Educating them on their hormones , so they can have regular periods, be balanced emotionally, lose weight, and prepare their bodies for pregnancy (or recover from it). Making it easier for them to find the same balance and healthful peace.

I've said it a million times - love isn't enough. Strong relationships require work, and ongoing maintenance to stay strong and connected. And yet, much to the chagrin of my fiance and I, Dr. John Schinnerer, even though we have been together for 6 years, and engaged for 2, we still get stuck. We hate this human aspect of ourselves, that despite being trained in psychology and emotional awareness, guiding others in how to manage the roadblocks in their relationships, and teaching the skills of effective communication, that we still experience impasses in our relationship that feel sticky and hard. In this episode, John and I vulnerably share some of our difficult struggles that we've gone through as well as how we got through them, and continue to get through them. We have learned to revisit old challenges so we can learn more about our patterns and our needs when we feel stuck as well as how to be patient, curious and compassionate to ourselves and each other when we fail to meet the mark of our intentions. If you're in a relationship, you won't want to miss this episode!
