    Letting Go of the Hustle to Ease

    Joline recently interviewed Leanne Elliott to dive deeper into the topics of burnout, reinvention, intuition, and fulfillment. Leanne Elliott is a Certified Reiki Master, intuitive guide, writer, and host of The Living Wellness Muse podcast. After two decades as a successful wedding planner, she now helps women reconnect with their inner wisdom and purpose through Reiki energy healing, intuitive channeling, and executive coaching. During this conversation, we discussed the necessity of slowing down and taking time for quiet introspection. This pause is the gateway that helps us tune into our inner wisdom and intuition. When we shift from using logic to listening to our heart and intuition, we open up to incredible opportunities, new possibilities, and joy that may surprise us. Most of us have felt burnout at some point in our careers, burning the midnight oil and sacrificing our well-being in pursuit of perfectionism or the need to please. Leanne shares why letting go of the hustle is helping her settle into greater ease. Leanne explains why reinvention is a tender pursuit. If you feel stuck or unsure of where to start, Leanne’s advice in this area may help you unlatch your door and take inspired steps in a new direction.

    Inner Wisdom’s Magic

    Entrepreneur and Experiential Training Pioneer Tim Salmans discusses his hard-earned insights in his new book Inner Wisdom, Outer Impact and Leading Your Life from the Inside Out. With nearly three decades of experience helping corporate leaders, medical professionals, and others develop interpersonal and leadership skills, his approach to self-growth is not only inspirational but practical. Salmans believes that doing the “deep dive” work of the soul changes the world. And, that work requires accountability and authenticity.  He turns the approach to self-growth on its head by proclaiming we must start with nothing rather than with the more common strategy of saying to ourselves, “Here’s the problem and I’m going to fix it.” Starting with nothing allows us to embrace the creative, magical, and sometimes painful process of transformation and leads to amazing things showing up in the world around us. Salmans understands that as humans we want to run away from discomfort and disconnect from pain. Having gone through his own “soul death”, he helps us to recognize that “the pain you’re feeling is a reflection of the love you have to share.” While it might sound like serious business, and it is, Salmans also reminds us how important it is to play, laugh, and embrace our mistakes. In doing so, we not only grow but serve others in the process.

    Creativity’s Grace

    During this podcast, Mansi Bhatia and Joline Lenz discussed the importance of creativity. Mansi advises us to discard limiting societal labels and remember the 3-year-old within who embraces creativity simply as part of our natural state of being. These techniques are meant to banish the self-doubt that keeps us fearful and hesitant. When we reclaim our natural creativity, in whatever form that may take, we don’t just reconnect with ourselves more deeply; we create ripples that touch everyone around us.

    Our Soul’s Calling

    The holiday season can be both magical and stressful. It offers us a time to reflect on our blessings and lessons learned throughout the year. As we approach the winter solstice and the darkest day of the year, it invites us to rejuvenate and reconnect to ourselves. In doing so, a spark may ignite to help us deeper align to our true selves and soul's calling. At times we may go off course and follow the guidance of our ego. Joline shares ways to align with spirit and walk a path in faith and communion with our higher selves. When we are courageous enough to pursue this magical path it leads to synchronicities, discoveries, and hidden treasures.
