#73 Already Approved — Who You Were Before the Hustle

Season 1 Episode 73 Published 6 months, 1 week ago
Description

You’ve carried the weight of proving yourself. But what if you were already enough? This episode recalibrates the soul — away from performance and into anchored, identity-rooted approval.

What if the part of you that’s exhausted isn’t broken — it’s just tired of performing?

In this episode of Identity-Level Recalibration, we explore the truth many high-capacity humans never say aloud: “I don’t feel like I’m enough.” Even if you’ve succeeded by every metric, the pressure to prove can quietly erode your peace.

This isn’t another mindset hack. It’s a root-level return.

Julie Holly shares her own recalibration — a story that began with deep loss and led to unexpected freedom. You’ll also hear how Justin Bieber’s public unraveling became a catalyst for reclaiming identity beyond performance.

Whether you’re a leader, creative, founder, or healer — if you’ve ever felt like the love had to be earned, this conversation is for you.

You were already approved — before the hustle, before the title, before the applause.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The hidden costs of high-functioning performance
  • Why believing you're loved changes everything about how you lead
  • How identity recalibration begins when we stop performing for love
  • What Justin Bieber’s spiritual journey reveals about public recalibration
  • A practical, identity-rooted Micro-Recalibration to integrate today’s truth

🧭 Today’s Micro-Recalibration:
Write this in your own handwriting: “I am already loved and approved.”
Then ask: If I truly believed this today — how would I show up differently?
Let it lead how you rest, lead, decide, and speak.
