#1 When Your Identity Outgrows Your Life: Success Isn’t the Problem
Manage episode 483679090 series 3660976
You’ve built a successful life — but something feels off. This episode reveals the hidden cost of performing from an outdated identity and why alignment, not effort, is the real shift.
What if the reason you feel off isn’t burnout — but misalignment? In this kickoff episode of the Identity-Level Recalibration podcast, Julie Holly explores the moment when success stops feeling like success and introduces the first recalibration truth: Identity precedes behavior. You’ll discover why strategy stalls without identity alignment, how your nervous system protects old self-concepts, and why coming home to yourself is the next evolution. This is where transformation begins — not with doing, but with becoming.
Today's Micro Recalibration:
Where in your life are you still living as a past version of yourself?
Is it in your calendar — saying yes to things that fit an old version of you?
Is it in how you lead your team? How you show up in your relationship?
Is it simply in how you talk to yourself?
Here’s the prompt to carry today:
“I am no longer available to live someone else’s version of me.”
Whisper it. Write it. Breathe it.
Because awareness is the first hinge that opens the door to change.
