The Recalibration
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 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 exists to name that tension — and navigate what comes next.
Hosted by Julie Holly — speaker, guide, and creator of Identity-Level Recalibration— The Recalibration is more than a podcast. It’s a daily 5–10 minute space to pause, return to yourself, and realign your internal world before you lead your external one.
Each episode blends faith, psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, and lived experience — guiding high-capacity humans back into identity alignment.
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

#232 I Don’t Know What I Want Anymore
High performers often reach a moment where success feels empty and desire goes quiet.
This episode explores why not knowing what you want isn’t loss — it’s identity-level recalibration creating space for truer ambition.
“I don’t know what I want anymore” is one of the most vulnerable sentences a high-capacity human can admit.
In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly speaks directly to leaders, achievers, and high performers navigating decision fatigue, role confusion, and success that no longer feels fulfilling. Rather than treating uncertainty as a problem to solve, this conversation reframes it as a signal of identity transition.
This episode explores how ambition doesn’t disappear when desire quiets — it simply waits for identity to catch up.
You’ll hear why:
- Burnout recovery often includes a season where old goals lose their pull
- Success without fulfillment creates disorientation, not failure
- Identity drift happens when we continue chasing outdated definitions of success
- Spiritual exhaustion can arise when striving replaces alignment
- Motivation rooted in identity must recalibrate before new desire emerges
Julie draws from identity-based motivation to explain why clarity often arrives after old measures are released — not before. This is where Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) becomes essential.
ILR is not another mindset tactic, productivity strategy, or performance tool. It is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again by realigning who you are before determining what you pursue.
This episode also includes a personal reflection on letting go of metrics like output, visibility, and net worth as evidence of worth — and how healing identity wounds allows the need to prove belonging to dissolve naturally.
For listeners navigating burnout recovery, decision fatigue, success fatigue, identity misalignment, or the quiet fear that desire may never return, this episode offers reassurance without rushing the process.
Today’s Micro Recalibration
Gently say to yourself:
I release old measures
and choose true ones.
Notice what softens.
Notice what resists.
Both are information.
