High performers often fear peace will cost them their edge. In this episode, Julie Holly reframes wholeness as a strategic advantage — showing how identity coherence increases clarity, execution, and sustainable effectiveness.
What if wholeness didn’t slow you down — but actually made you more effective?

This episode dismantles that fear and reframes wholeness as a strategic upgrade — not a personal softening.
