The Recalibration
The Recalibration is a daily podcast for driven professionals who aren’t falling apart, but are quietly tired of holding everything together.
A space for nervous system informed identity recalibration before burnout forces the issue.
The Recalibration with Julie Holly is a daily podcast for high-performing professionals, leaders, and driven humans who are successful on paper, but feel worn down, disconnected, or quietly misaligned inside.
Often, this isn’t because something is wrong.
It’s because their nervous system has been carrying more than it was designed to hold.
This show is for people who:
Keep functioning at a high level, even when it costs them.
Feel tired of hacks, habits, and strategies that no longer work.
Aren’t in crisis, but know something isn’t sustainable.
Sense clarity slipping even though effort remains strong.
This isn’t mindset work.
It isn’t productivity advice or performance optimization.
The Recalibration introduces Identity-Level Recalibration, a psychology-backed, nervous-system-informed, faith-rooted pathway that realigns who you are at the root so your decisions, relationships, leadership, and energy begin to work again without pressure or self-erasure.
Hosted by Julie Holly, researcher, coach, and creator of the Identity-Level Recalibration Pathway, each episode blends psychology, nervous system science, leadership insight, philosophy, and faith-forward reflection.
The goal is simple and honest.
To help listeners understand why success can keep working while something inside feels off, and how to recalibrate before burnout, disconnection, or collapse force the issue.
What you will hear across the podcast:
The difference between burnout and identity misalignment.
Why nervous system fatigue disguises itself as motivation or discipline problems.
How pressure erodes clarity, even for capable leaders.
What aligned leadership, parenting, and relationships actually feel like.

The previous 581 episodes are preserved as a living record, not of perfection, but of my own recalibration in real time as identity, faith, leadership, and nervous system alignment deepened over the years.

Ep183 Edmund Chien on In-Person Networking
The universal struggle that we all face is the mindset. Everyone is dealing with their own awkward selves, hoping no one sees the stain on their shirt, or the shoes that don’t match, or the ultimate question “what if they find out I have no idea what I’m doing?” Many don’t even think about other people. So, how do you use people’s reactions and conversations to vet them?
Edmund Chien has been asking questions for years to discover who people are, what are their pain points, what their body language can tell you, and much more. In this extraordinary episode, Edmund shares some key components about people that will help with your in-person networking.
Are you standing in your own way of success? What is your mindset?
How to vet people at a networking event? And get the conversations flowing?
Are you following what everyone else is doing? Or do you stand out?
What does your body language say about you and the people you are talking to?
When and how do you approach people you really want to connect with?
“You can have everything in life you want if you will just help other people get what they want.” - Zig Ziglar
