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.
How to move from effort to alignment without losing your edge.

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.

ABOUT RYAN STIEG
Ryan started down the path of passive investing after he picked up a little purple book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and since 2016, he has focused on all different kinds of investments, always coming back to real estate and business being his mainstay. He has a small portfolio of one to three-unit rentals across five other markets in the United States. He has also invested in nearly twenty real estate syndication investments individually or with an investment group that he co-founded with fellow Infielder, Jim. Besides that, Ryan has investments in note funds, mobile home park funds, life settlements, a development project, cryptocurrency, and other assets that further cement his self-diagnosis of “shiny object syndrome.” However, with all of those reaches over the years, Ryan still believes in the long-term success and tenets of passive, cash-flow-focused investing with proven syndicators and shared knowledge in investing. When he’s not working on passive investments, he is working in the transportation insurance industry or with his wife watching whatever sport one of their two boys is involved in during that particular season.
