Recalibration for high-capacity humans who’ve outgrown the version of themselves they created to succeed.
You’ve built a life you once wanted…
So why does it now feel like it no longer fits?
✔️ You’re the one people count on.
✔️ You’ve done the work — the therapy, the mindset shifts, the leadership courses.
✔️ You’ve optimized your habits and checked all the boxes.
From the outside, it looks like you’ve arrived.
But on the inside, something’s misaligned.
You can feel it — a quiet tension between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.
This show is here to help you name that tension and navigate what comes next.
Hosted by Julie Holly — former educator, real estate investor, speaker, and creator of the Identity-Level Recalibration™ pathway — this podcast offers something deeper than performance hacks or motivational pep talks.
Each short episode (5–12 minutes) blends identity science, nervous system insight, faith, philosophy, and lived experience to guide you back into internal alignment.
Here, you’ll recalibrate from the inside out — so you can move forward with:
✔️ Clarity that comes from knowing who you are now
✔️ Courage to let go of what no longer fits
✔️ Momentum to become who you’re meant to be next
This podcast is not:
– Coaching
– Therapy
– Traditional self-help
It’s not about doing more — it’s about becoming more you.
Whether you're:
– An executive or entrepreneur who’s lost the spark
– A visionary creative or founder craving deeper congruence
– The steady go-to person who realizes it's time to tend inward
– A high-functioning parent or midlife professional entering transition
– Or someone who’s carried quiet courage for years, ready to rise
…you’re not broken. You’re becoming.
With over 600 podcast episodes under her belt and decades of experience in education, entrepreneurship, and identity work, Julie Holly brings a rare blend of depth, strategy, story, and soul.

#49 What to Do When You Feel Like You’re Too Much
Have you ever been told you’re “too much”? This episode unpacks the tension of shrinking your brilliance and offers a new path: one where your growth becomes a gift — not something to hide.
You’ve been told you’re “too much.”
Too intense. Too fast. Too driven.
So you started shrinking — not because you lost your edge, but because it felt safer to soften your presence than risk being misunderstood.
In this episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, we name that quiet ache — and give you language, insight, and next steps to stop apologizing for who you are.
You’ll learn:
- Why “too much” is often a reflection of others’ discomfort, not your design
- How shrinking creates hidden identity fatigue — and what to do instead
- The cost of ungrounded expansion through the story of Howard Hughes
- Three simple steps to start reclaiming your brilliance today
- How to move from managing perception to modeling possibility
Julie Holly shares a personal story of being asked to “tone it down” as a teacher — and how standing in her full capacity (without shame or ego) became a turning point.
You’ll leave this episode with deeper clarity and a powerful Micro-Recalibration to guide your next small shift.
Today’s Micro-Recalibration:
Ask yourself:
– Where have I been shrinking to stay digestible?
– Where do I sense it’s time to let my full presence be seen — not explained?
– What would leadership look like if I didn’t manage optics, but modeled opportunity?
If you lead a team, a classroom, or a company: affirm the people who’ve been called “too much.” They’re not the problem. They’re the next wave of possibility.
