Description

What happens when the image you’re protecting isn’t even you anymore? In this raw, personal episode, Julie shares her own recalibration — trading performance for presence and identity rooted in Christ.

You’ve spent years perfecting the image — polished, capable, always on point. But what if the very version of you that earned applause… no longer feels like you?

In this deeply personal episode, Julie shares her own recalibration story — from driven achiever to rooted daughter. It’s a raw look at what happens when performance no longer fits, and the deeper identity work that comes when you let the image fall away.

You’ll hear:

• The midlife reckoning that revealed misalignment beneath success
• Why “high performance” nearly cost Julie her health, marriage, and calling
• The year-long “cocoon” that became sacred space for healing and recalibration
• How Paul’s story in Philippians 3 mirrors the journey from achievement to intimacy
• What it means to live loved — not to earn love

This is what we mean by Identity-Level Recalibration — it’s not about fixing the behavior. It’s about returning to the root.

If you’ve ever quietly wondered, “Who am I when no one’s watching?” — this episode is your invitation to find out.
