Inner Wisdom’s Magic

March 5, 2025 Joline Lenz 34:15 0 Comments

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.

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.

Perfectionism’s Hook

June 28, 2024 Joline Lenz 7:45 0 Comments

Perfectionism keeps us from pursuing our dreams. Its hook is not about striving for excellence but rather is a protective strategy according to Brene Brown. Joline shares ways to free yourself.

Perfectionism is not about getting it right or striving to do your best. It’s about setting unrealistic standards. Perfectionism keeps us from moving ahead and its hook can keep us from pursuing our dreams.

Julia Cameron, the author of “The Artist Way,” says that perfectionism is a loop – an obsessive, debilitating closed system that causes you to get stuck in the details of what you are writing or painting or making and to lose sight of the whole. The perfectionist is never satisfied.

Perfectionism is not a quest to do our best, but rather fear that we may be discovered for our flaws. What if we have an unconscious belief that we are not good enough? And perfectionism can become a comfortable unhealthy habit, and create even more anxiety. The fear of being judged is its hook.

The Virtue of Courage

June 14, 2024 Joline Lenz Comments Off

One of my favorite speeches on courage is by Teddy Roosevelt given in Paris, France, in April 1910. He said it is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or how the doer of deeds could have done better. Rather, what counts is the man who…
