From Italy to Brooklyn to Jersey: Rose’s Journey on The Jersey Buzz Podcast

In this heartfelt and energizing episode of The Jersey Buzz Podcast, we sit down with Rose Galina—an entrepreneur, healer, and community connector whose story begins across the Atlantic.

A CHILDHOOD JOURNEY OF HOPE

Rose immigrated to the United States from Italy at just 7 years old. After eight long years of waiting, her father—a dedicated tailor and entrepreneur—finally brought the family to Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, where he planted the seeds of a dream.

“It took my dad eight years to get the paperwork to bring us here. But I’ll never forget that moment of reunion.”

Growing up watching her father build his business inspired Rose’s own drive and fearless creativity.

FROM BOUTIQUE OWNER TO REIKI PRACTITIONER TO CONCIERGE BOSS

Rose’s path is anything but linear—but that’s exactly how she likes it.

Her entrepreneurial milestones include:

• A Bit of NYC — A stylish boutique in Hightstown

• Certified Reiki Practitioner — Helping others find balance through energy healing

• Founder of The Jogging Octopus — A concierge service for busy professionals

• Host at Just Restaurant — Merging hospitality, energy, and nightlife flair

“If I’m not happy doing something, I don’t want to do it. I need variety. I need joy. That’s why I created my own path.”

WHAT IS THE JOGGING OCTOPUS?

From organizing complicated moves to preparing healthy meals for seniors, Rose’s concierge service is all about making life easier for clients who wish they had a clone.

“People hire me when they say, ‘I need a clone of me.’ That’s where I come in.”

Her services include:  Project management, Personal organizing, Senior care & meal prep or custom support for busy households

ROSE’S ADVICE TO FUTURE ENTREPRENEURS

• Don’t wait — take the leap.

• Bet on yourself.

• Speak your truth unapologetically.

• Keep things fresh with new ideas.

• Don’t let fear block your vision.

“Life is too short to wait. If I had the money to launch all my ideas, I’d be rich! But I keep life exciting by trying.”
