Podcasts about Belonging

"What if the sacred is not somewhere else? What if it's right here and right now?" In this rich and reflective episode of the Allender Center Podcast, Dan and Rachael welcome theologian, author, and beloved mentor Dr. Keith Anderson. Drawing from his book, "On Holy Ground: Your Story of Identity, Belonging, and Sacred Purpose," Keith invites us to reconsider vocation not as a role, title, or single decision made when you're young, but as a lifelong relationship with Jesus. It's one shaped by seasons, suffering, questions, and ordinary faithfulness.  Together, they explore how calling is formed not in abstraction, but in the particularity of our stories: our bodies, our sufferings, our relationships, and our hope. If you are asking questions about purpose, identity, belonging, or how to remain open-hearted amid suffering and uncertainty, this episode is a gift. It's a reminder that vocation is not about getting it right once, but about learning, again and again, how to live your life with God. *This episode contains discussions of addiction and includes a quoted derogatory term.

Leadership burnout isn't just about workload — it's about the internal state you lead from.This episode explores why tension leaks into teams, how calm builds trust, and how identity-level alignment creates sustainable authority without tightening.If you're a high-capacity leader who feels capable yet quietly depleted, this episode puts language to what your system already knows.Many leaders assume exhaustion comes from long hours, decision fatigue, or the weight of responsibility. But often, the deeper cost comes from how leadership is carried internally. When vigilance becomes your default state, it shapes your presence, your decisions, and the nervous systems of the people around you — whether you intend it to or not.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores how leadership doesn't begin with strategy or execution. It begins with state. Drawing from nervous system science, psychology, and lived leadership examples, she shows how calm communicates safety, how tension communicates urgency, and why teams respond to your internal posture before they register your words.You'll hear why:Leadership fatigue is often less about doing too much and more about carrying responsibility from tensionNervous systems read posture, voice, and presence in millisecondsCalm increases trust, clarity, and follow-throughRegulation restores energy without disengagementJulie references the steady leadership of Rosalind Brewer, whose calm authority in high-pressure environments demonstrates that effectiveness does not require hardening. The episode also draws on insights from Vanessa Van Edwards on nonverbal communication and Linnea Passaler, whose work helps leaders understand how nervous systems continuously orient to one another.Discover why:Tension is often adaptive — not evidence of failureFragmentation is inefficient, even when it's rewardedPeace sharpens execution rather than slowing it downYou don't have to leave yourself behind to lead wellToday's Micro RecalibrationBefore your next interaction, pause and ask:“What state am I bringing into this room?”Team RecalibrationWhere do we unintentionally reward constant readiness — and confuse it with leadership — and what does that cost trust and clarity over time?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Episode 300! For decades, the standard response to challenging behavior has been simple: reward the good, punish the bad. But what if non-compliance isn't a sign of disrespect, but a signal of distress? Why do traditional behavioral frameworks like PBIS often miss the mark for neurodivergent students? And how can adults shift from being enforcers to problem-solving partners? Today, Emily Kircher-Morris talks with Dr. Ross Greene, author of The Explosive Child and the upcoming book The Kids Who Aren't Okay, and the originator of the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) model, about the critical difference between modifying behavior and solving the problems that cause it. Dr. Ross W. Greene is a clinical psychologist and the originator of Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS), an innovative, evidence-based approach for supporting kids with concerning behaviors. He is the author of several influential books, including The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, Raising Human Beings, and his forthcoming title, The Kids Who Aren't Okay: The Urgent Case for Reimagining Support, Belonging, and Hope in Schools. He also developed and executive produced the award-winning 2018 documentary The Kids We Lose. Dr. Greene is the founding director of the nonprofit Lives in the Balance and previously served on the faculty at Harvard Medical School for over 20 years. He is currently an adjunct professor at Virginia Tech and the University of Technology Sydney. His CPS model has been implemented in schools, inpatient units, and juvenile facilities across the globe, significantly reducing the use of punitive discipline and promoting connection, collaboration, and long-term success for kids.

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?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly addresses the quiet resistance many high-capacity humans feel when the conversation turns toward peace, integration, or inner alignment. Beneath performance pressure and decision fatigue is often an unspoken fear:If I stop fragmenting myself… will I lose what's made me effective?This episode dismantles that fear and reframes wholeness as a strategic upgrade — not a personal softening.In this episode, you'll explore:Why performance pressure often comes from identity fragmentation, not workloadHow role confusion and constant self-management quietly drain energyThe hidden cost of success without fulfillmentWhy fragmentation is inefficient — even when it looks like strengthHow peace reduces internal friction and sharpens executionWhy effectiveness improves when identity becomes coherentPsychology + Nervous System InsightJulie draws on psychology and nervous system integration to explain:How identity-based motivation becomes cleaner when you're one person across rolesWhy internal division increases cognitive, emotional, and identity loadHow wholeness removes background effort — freeing capacity without disengagingThis is not burnout caused by failure.It's fatigue caused by misalignment.A Living Example of Integrated ExcellenceJulie points to Denzel Washington as an example of drive without internal division. His presence demonstrates:Authority without tensionIntensity without urgencyExcellence sustained by coherence, not pressureIf you've been successful but tired…If achievement feels heavier than you expected…If you sense peace might actually sharpen your edge…This episode offers clarity, permission, and a grounded path forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhere does fragmentation cost me more energy than the task itself?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, Krista examines the "I" in DEI from a historic Christian perspective. She contrasts the widely agreeable "noble" definitions of inclusion and belonging with their real-world applications in workplaces and Christian institutions, highlighting unintended consequences, ideological conflicts with biblical teaching, and how DEI practices often infiltrate conservative Christian universities through a shifting of definitions. A thoughtful call for Christians to pursue biblical unity, hospitality, and impartial justice rather than secular social engineering.

High performers often feel drained even when life is working. In this episode, Julie Holly explains why always being “on” exhausts your nervous system — and how identity-level recalibration restores energy without disengaging from leadership.Why do high performers feel tired even when nothing is technically wrong?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the hidden cost of always being “on” — a state that often looks like strength, leadership, and responsibility, but quietly drains capacity over time.Many high-capacity humans experience a unique kind of exhaustion that doesn't come from overwork alone. It shows up as decision fatigue, role confusion, success without fulfillment, and a persistent sense of being depleted despite competence and momentum. This episode names what's happening beneath the surface: vigilance — a nervous system state designed for short bursts of readiness that has quietly become a way of life.Julie unpacks the science behind vigilance and explains how three invisible loads stack over time:cognitive load from constant decision-makingemotional load from holding others and managing impactidentity load from sustaining the version of yourself that keeps everything workingThis isn't burnout caused by failure or weakness. It's fatigue caused by adaptation.The episode also highlights Rosalind Brewer as a living example of calm authority in high-pressure environments. Her leadership demonstrates that presence and regulation do not dilute power — they stabilize it.Throughout the conversation, Julie differentiates Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) from mindset tactics, productivity hacks, or surface-level rest strategies. ILR doesn't ask you to disengage or do less. It works at the root — recalibrating identity so the nervous system no longer relies on tension to maintain effectiveness. This is the recalibration that makes every other tool work again.If you've ever felt capable and depleted at the same time…If success feels heavier than it should…If you're longing for relief without losing your edge…This episode offers clarity, permission, and a path forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhere am I staying “on” because it's familiar — not because it's required? No fixing. No forcing rest. Just awareness — because awareness gives your system new options.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Beholding & Belonging | Pastor Richard CriscoWe were not created for achievements, we were created for relationships. In this week's message, Pastor Richard Crisco shares how truly following Jesus is less about performance and more about connection: connection with God, with people, and with our God-given purpose.Jesus didn't command us to build platforms — He called us to make disciples. And here's the challenge: we become what we behold. Whatever captures our attention will eventually shape our hearts, our habits, and our future.Join us as we learn what it means to behold Jesus — and to belong deeply to His family and His mission.

High performers often assume exhaustion comes from full schedules. But this kind of fatigue runs deeper. In this episode, Julie Holly explores burnout recovery, decision fatigue, and why identity-level recalibration restores energy without losing effectiveness.Why do high performers feel tired even when their life is full, functional, and objectively successful?Many high-capacity humans don't describe themselves as burned out. They describe themselves as busy, responsible, and always going. Their schedules are full. Their roles are demanding. And yet, beneath the surface, there's a persistent fatigue that rest doesn't quite touch.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores a rarely named truth: much of what we call burnout isn't failure or weakness—it's exhaustion from adaptation.When leaders, entrepreneurs, and high performers learn to regulate themselves around effectiveness instead of identity, their system adapts by staying “on.” Present at home. Braced with clients. Capable in leadership. Over time, this role-based regulation creates decision fatigue, role confusion, success fatigue, and a quiet sense of spiritual exhaustion—even in a life that looks “right.”This conversation gently reframes:Why burnout recovery often fails when identity drift goes unaddressedHow performance pressure creates internal effort most people never seeWhy success without fulfillment is often a signal, not a problemHow over-adaptation becomes exhausting—even when it once workedThe episode also highlights embodied presence through the example of Denzel Washington, whose grounded authority illustrates what strength without internal division can look like in real life.This episode is especially resonant for those navigating:high achiever burnoutdecision fatiguerole confusionperformance pressureidentity misalignmentspiritual exhaustionToday's Micro RecalibrationYou'll find this in the Recalibration Companion, but here's where to begin:What part of me learned to stay “on” — and what was it trying to protect?No fixing.

413 Love, Connection, Belonging, and Comfort Zones    It's easy to forget to take care of the many facets of our health in a world obsessed with value and progress. We forget to care for our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health in ways that dramatically affect us in the long run, which is why it is vital for us to sit down and take stock of our health and to take the time to tend to our own needs. In today's episode Sarah Elkins and Kevin Strauss discuss the importance of connection, comfort zones, boundaries, love, and how important it is to ourselves as humans.      Highlights Emotional, physical, and spiritual health and what the differences are.  How we learn and how it shapes us into who we are.  Identifying your comfort zone so you feel safe stepping into your stretch zone. Taking care of every aspect of your health so that you can operate perfectly. Quit trying to distract, soothe, or numb yourself to your needs. Take the time to properly address them so that you can be a truly healthy and functional person.  What is your reference for comfort?   Quotes "There is no right or wrong or better or worse way, it's just that this is how we are operating in the world and this is how we learn." "Value in our brain translates to love, and that's really an emotional health need. So we're try to feel more valuable, because value equals love in our brain."  "We try to show our value, that we are worthy of love, but it's never enough. It never soothes, we always need more, more, more, because we aren't addressing the real problem. And the real problem is we don't feel love just for who we are." "How many people on the planet are actively, intentionally, daily, practicing love and connection?"    Dear Listeners it is now your turn, I'm going to ask you to define your comfort zone. Consider a moment in time when you felt truly comfortable, loved, safe, supported, just like when I stood in my doorway and saw my children in the room, and thought "If that's not nice, then what is?"  Find a handful of moments like that in your life, define what it felt like, because once you have that foundation, you can step out of it.  And, as always, thank you for listening.  Mentioned in this episode  The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Nighttime by Mark HaddonThe Comfort Crisis by Michael Easter   About Kevin Kevin R. Strauss is the CEO of Uchi, a platform built on one simple truth — everything feels possible when you know someone has your back, every day. With 30 years in human behavior, innovation, and wellness, Kevin focuses on solving long-standing problems with simple solutions.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

In this episode of Conversations with Alan, I'm joined by Ely Winkler, Director of Advancement for Eshel, for an honest and deeply personal conversation about faith, identity, and belonging.Ely shares his journey growing up Orthodox as the son of a rabbi, navigating the fear and uncertainty of coming out, and searching for a place where he could live authentically without abandoning his faith.

Ely also speaks movingly about lessons learned from his rabbi father, the power of compassion, and how change often happens quietly—one conversation at a time.This episode offers thoughtful insight, practical wisdom, and hope for anyone interested in questions of identity, tradition, and what it truly means to belong.

High performers often assume burnout means failure. But what if success feels exhausting because you're divided inside? This episode explores decision fatigue, role confusion, and why identity-level recalibration restores energy without losing drive.Why does success feel exhausting even when everything looks “right”?Many high performers, leaders, and high-capacity humans reach a point where the life they built no longer feels the way they expected it to feel. There's no obvious crisis. No failure to point to. Yet beneath the surface, there's decision fatigue, role confusion, and a quiet sense of depletion that rest alone doesn't resolve.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly introduces a rarely named truth: burnout is often not about overwork — it's about fragmentation.When your nervous system learns to regulate by context instead of identity, you begin living from multiple internal versions of yourself. Calm in one room. Braced in another. Present at home, vigilant with clients. Over time, this internal division creates success fatigue, spiritual exhaustion, and a loss of felt coherence — even in a life that looks objectively successful.This episode explores:Why burnout recovery often fails when identity misalignment goes unaddressedHow decision fatigue is compounded by internal role-switchingWhy “being on” all the time is a nervous-system strategy, not strengthThe difference between flexibility and fragmentationHow success without fulfillment often signals identity drift, not weaknessJulie introduces Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — not another mindset tactic or productivity strategy, but the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. ILR begins with the who, not the how, restoring internal coherence so peace, purpose, and productivity can coexist.This conversation is especially relevant for those navigating:high achiever burnoutleadership fatiguespiritual exhaustionsuccess that feels emptypressure to perform across rolesToday's Micro RecalibrationYou'll find this in the Recalibration Companion, but here's where to begin:Where do I feel most like myself — and where do I feel the most “on”?No fixing.

Join Reverend Oliver Helsabeck as we delve into his sermon "A Story of Belonging."

We live in a world trained to ask, “What can this give me?”—and many of us unknowingly bring that same posture into our faith. Scripture, however, reveals a very different reality: God is not something to be consumed, but an all-consuming fire whose holiness transforms everything it touches. When Isaiah encountered God's holiness, he didn't leave comforted—he left undone, marked, and forever changed.All Consuming Fire is a loving wake-up call for the church—not to condemn, but to re-examine the holiness of our God and what that means for our lives. Over five weeks, we'll encounter biblical moments of God's holiness, paired with tangible, experiential responses and altar moments that invite real transformation. Alongside 21 Days of Prayer, this series calls us beyond information and into encounter - to allow the Holy One who purifies, refines, and restores to refine us, change us and call us into His purpose.To join us for 21 Days of Prayer, text PRAY to 816-203-1835.-At Discover Church, we exist to see our city changed by Jesus, one life at a time by helping people discover LIFE in Christ, BELONGING in Community & PURPOSE in God's Calling on their life so that they can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.-You can join us live on Sunday mornings at 9:00 or 10:45am, either in person or online!

DNCO just turned 20, and founder Joy Nazzari is not done yet. In this episode of The Creative Boom Podcast, Joy joins Katy to talk honestly about building a place brand studio from two slightly rebellious thirty-somethings with no clients, to a 33-strong team working on cities and even a whole US state. Joy shares why she and co-founder Ben walked out of permanent jobs with nothing lined up, how "never doing shit work" became a founding principle, and why saying no early on shaped the kind of clients they attract today. She also opens up about buying Ben out, staying friends, and why founders should be allowed to leave without drama. The conversation delves into the realities of running a studio after the pandemic. Joy talks about the economics no one wants to touch publicly. Productivity, hybrid working, the way slowed pace quietly kills profit, and why getting people in a room together still matters more than anyone wants to admit. She also reflects on what it means to be a tall American non-designer leading a London agency, the label "female-founded", and how it lands in different rooms, including very male, sports-led organisations. There is an honest chat about ageing as a woman in a visual industry, being "an older woman" in the room, and the subtle ways respect and perception can shift. We get into family, identity and what really keeps her going. Joy talks candidly about growing up in California with a father whose career was destroyed by alcoholism, how that experience turned financial security into a core driver, and why she has built a career around helping people feel like they belong in places. Katy and Joy also compare notes on menopause, confidence, video, and the strange process of becoming more visible just as your face starts to change. They talk about raising children, how different generations see work and politics, why debate and nuance matter, and how to keep reading beyond your own bubble. Towards the end, Joy shares the advice she would give her 30-year-old self. Chill out and don't overreact. Delegate sooner. Let designers hear clients unfiltered. Guard relationships and stay in touch with people who back your work. Underneath it all, she admits that for all the big ideas about cities, identity and belonging, the real engine has always been simple: keep the people you love safe and secure, and keep your brain switched on for as long as you can. A big, honest chat about work, power, ageing, politics, money, motherhood and why many of us build studios in the first place.

In this episode of Embodied, Anne Bérubé sits down with holistic nutritionist and bestselling author Julie Daniluk for a candid conversation about trust, cravings, and the body's intelligence. Together, they explore emotional eating, nervous system regulation, blood sugar balance, and why cravings are often a signal—not a failure. The conversation also touches on midlife, perimenopause, intuitive eating myths, and the role of connection and female friendship in long-term health. This episode invites listeners to move beyond willpower and learn how trust is built through the body.

High performance leadership often comes with decision fatigue, burnout, and role confusion. This episode invites high-capacity humans to stop over-functioning and learn how presence—not pressure—creates sustainable leadership from the inside out.There is a moment every high-capacity human knows well.A meeting where silence stretches. A request that feels heavier than it should. A decision point where urgency quietly takes over.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly revisits the exact moment leaders tend to lose themselves—not to fix it, override it, or perform growth—but to stay present inside it. Because embodiment doesn't happen when pressure disappears. It happens when you don't.Many leaders experience burnout, decision fatigue, and success that feels empty not because they're doing leadership wrong, but because identity has fused with responsibility. Over time, the nervous system learns that safety, belonging, and worth live on the other side of over-carrying.This episode gently guides listeners from doing into being—offering a grounded pathway out of role confusion, identity drift, and spiritual exhaustion. Julie explores how presence builds trust at the nervous-system level and why nothing meaningful is lost when leaders stop carrying everything internally.A subtle cultural mirror is offered through Keanu Reeves, whose calm authority and lack of urgency demonstrate leadership without self-erasure. His steadiness reflects what becomes possible when identity leads before action.This is not mindset work. This is not performance coaching.Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) is the root-level recalibration that makes every other leadership tool effective—by restoring identity integrity, nervous system safety, and presence over performance.This episode is quiet, grounding, and settling. It's for leaders who are ready to stop abandoning themselves in familiar moments—and learn how to stay.Today's Micro RecalibrationBring one predictable leadership moment to mind—a meeting, conversation, or decision already on your calendar.Ask gently:What am I feeling in my body right now?What does this moment usually ask me to do?What would it be like to stay one breath longer?Choose one act of presence:Soften your jawLengthen your exhaleFeel the ground beneath youNo fixing. No forcing. Just staying.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

High performance leadership often creates decision fatigue and burnout in real time. In this episode, Julie Holly explores why leadership must change in the body before it changes in behavior — and how presence restores authority without urgency.For high-capacity humans, leadership rarely fails because of a lack of insight.It falters in the moment.You understand burnout recovery.You recognize over-functioning.You know something about identity misalignment and decision fatigue.And yet — in the meeting, the silence, the moment all eyes turn toward you — your body steps in before your values do.This episode names what's been missing from most leadership conversations: leadership changes in the nervous system before it changes in behavior.If your body doesn't feel safe letting go, you will keep carrying responsibility internally — even when you're supported, capable, and exhausted by the cost.Julie explores why this tension is especially present for leaders in career or life transition, where the old pressure-driven identity no longer fits, but the nervous system hasn't yet learned how to trust a new way of leading.You'll hear how over-functioning is not a character flaw or discipline issue — but a learned survival response tied to belonging, safety, and identity drift.This episode also highlights a powerful cultural mirror in Keanu Reeves, whose authority is marked not by urgency or dominance, but by steadiness, restraint, and identity integrity. His presence offers living proof that respect does not require intensity — it requires alignment.This is not about doing less.It's about leading from presence — in real time.Because nothing meaningful is lost when you stop carrying leadership in your nervous system — except what was never meant to be there.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhen guilt or urgency arises, pause and ask:What does my body believe will happen if I don't step in right now?What is actually true in this moment?Then offer your nervous system proof of safety:Drop your shoulders.Lengthen your exhale.Feel your feet.Leadership begins to change the moment your body trusts it can.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Learn how the stories we tell and hear shape our relationships, values, and sense of belonging.Summary: Storytelling is more than entertainment. It shapes how we think, feel, and relate to others. In this episode of The Science of Happiness, we dive into how immersive narratives calm stress, inspire reflection, and foster compassion across differences. We also explore how stories of resilience, joy, and tradition leave lasting impressions that influence our relationships and sense of self.How To Do This Practice: Choose a meaningful story: Bring to mind a personal memory, family tradition, or moment that carries emotion, care, or learning. Settle the body first: Take a few slow breaths and notice your posture, helping your nervous system feel steady and present. Recall sensory details: Gently remember what you saw, heard, smelled, or felt in the moment, letting the story come alive without forcing it. Notice what matters: As the story unfolds, pay attention to themes of connection, care, resilience, or joy that stand out to you. Reflect on its meaning: Ask yourself what this story has shaped in you—how it influences your values, relationships, or sense of belonging. Share or carry it forward: If it feels right, share the story with someone you trust, write it down, or hold it quietly as a reminder of connection and continuity.

High performance leadership often leads to burnout, decision fatigue, and role confusion. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals how leaders can hold authority without self-abandonment by leading from identity integrity instead of pressure.High-capacity leaders rarely struggle because they don't care enough — they struggle because they care too deeply, and they've been carrying leadership in their nervous system.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores why leadership so often feels like a trade-off between authority and inner peace — and why that trade-off is unnecessary.If you've experienced leadership burnout, decision fatigue, role confusion, or the quiet fear that slowing down might cost you respect, this conversation names what's really happening beneath the surface. The exhaustion many leaders feel isn't a motivation problem or a boundary failure — it's an identity integrity issue.Julie introduces the concept of identity integrity: the internal boundary that allows leaders to stay deeply invested without being internally consumed. When responsibility lives inside identity, leadership becomes heavy. When responsibility lives inside role, it can be carried — and set down.This episode gently dismantles three common leadership myths:That boundaries equal withdrawalThat presence means passivityThat strong leadership requires self-erasureInstead, listeners are invited into a more grounded way of leading — one where authority is steady, calm, and trustworthy, and where nothing meaningful is lost when leadership stops living in the nervous system.This is not mindset work or performance optimization. It's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — the root-level realignment that makes every other tool effective again. When identity leads before action, decisions simplify, boundaries feel clean, and leadership becomes something you inhabit rather than survive.Whether you're navigating burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, success without fulfillment, or an identity drift brought on by years of responsibility, this episode offers language, relief, and a clear path forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationPause and ask:Where have I been equating authority with over-carrying? Then gently ask:What would leadership look like if I stayed rooted while remaining responsible?Notice what shifts in your body as you reflect.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

 In 2016, Tara Roberts was living in Washington D.C. and working at a nonprofit when she visited the National Museum of African American History and Culture and a photograph she saw there changed her life. The image was of Black scuba divers from the group Diving with a Purpose which searches for and documents slave shipwrecks around the world. Roberts quit her job, learned to scuba dive and chronicled the work of these scuba divers. Her book about that journey is “Written in the Waters: A Memoir of History, Home and Belonging.”

IDENTITY BEFORE STRATEGY- As we open a new year inside the Christian Life Coach Collective, this episode begins somewhere different. Not with pressure, performance, or planning, but with listening. Through prayer and guided reflection, you are invited to ask God who He says you are as a coach, why He shaped you the way He did, and who you are meant to serve. This episode walks you through identity, purpose, belonging, and a Great Exchange where lies are released and Truth is received, setting a grounded foundation for your coaching and business in the year ahead. Key Takeaways: Identity precedes clarity, and listening comes before doing. Your coaching purpose is often simple, faithful, and rooted in how God formed you. Belonging is about resonance, not chasing markets or money. Action Guide: Set aside quiet time this week to revisit the core questions from the episode. Ask God who He says you are, why He shaped you for coaching, and who you are meant to serve. Write down what you hear without editing or rushing. If lies surface, intentionally exchange them for Truth and let that Truth guide your next small, faithful step. If you want to go deeper into identity, purpose, and belonging as a woman of faith, listen to my companion podcast: StoryMakers. To explore working together, visit SterlingAndStoneMentoring.com.

While statelessness affects millions of people around the world, Australia also has stateless people.The United Nations refugee agency says there are around 8,000 stateless people in Australia, but experts say there could be more. The UNHCR is calling on the Australian government to create a stateless determination procedure (SDP), which would contribute to efforts to assess the size and the situation of stateless population amongst migrant populations.The fourth episode of Belonging Nowhere looks at Australia and how it deals with statelessness.

High performance leaders often over-function due to decision fatigue, role pressure, and identity fusion. If delegation feels hard and success feels exhausting, this episode explains what's really happening — and how identity-level recalibration restores clarity.Many high-capacity humans believe delegation is a skill they haven't mastered yet. But what if that's not the problem?In this episode of The Recalibration with Julie Holly, we explore why leaders over-function — not because they lack trust, competence, or systems, but because their nervous system doesn't know where they end and the role begins.If you're experiencing decision fatigue, success without fulfillment, role confusion, or spiritual exhaustion, this episode offers a long-awaited “aha.” We unpack how identity and responsibility quietly fuse over time, turning capacity into self-sacrifice and leadership into vigilance.Through nervous system science — explained without jargon — you'll learn why over-functioning is automatic, why rest doesn't land, and why slowing down can feel unsafe even when nothing is wrong. This is not about doing less; it's about restoring identity boundaries so leadership becomes discerning rather than compulsive.We also explore a real-world example from Kathleen Hogan, who led cultural transformation at Microsoft. As leaders learned to separate identity from role, collaboration increased, psychological safety expanded, and innovation accelerated — proving that clarity strengthens both people and organizations.This conversation is especially relevant for high-capacity humans navigating career transition, leadership evolution, or the quiet realization that what once worked is no longer sustainable.In this episode, we explore:Why over-functioning is an identity boundary issue, not a skill gapHow decision fatigue and role fusion exhaust the nervous systemThe difference between contribution by choice vs. compulsionWhy rest feels risky when identity is tied to responsibilityHow presence over performance restores sustainable leadershipToday's Micro RecalibrationPause and ask:Where am I still acting like I am the role?Then notice:What happens in your body when you imagine stepping backWhere tension appearsWhere relief tries to surface but doesn't fully landExplore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Rabbi Angela Buchdahl leads the largest synagogue in New York City. But she says she's never been so afraid to talk about Israel. That's because she thinks that compassion for people suffering on either side of the war in Gaza has come to be seen as disloyal and even threatening – a zero sum empathy calculus that also applies to ideological battles fought in our country every day. Buchdahl is the first Asian American to be ordained a rabbi, a journey she describes in her new memoir “Heart of a Stranger: An Unlikely Rabbi's Story of Faith, Identity, and Belonging.” We talk to her about why knowing what it feels like to be an outsider has helped her enable connection among people with disparate views and what happens when we become incapable of empathy.

In this episode of the Imagine Belonging Podcast, Rhodes Perry invites listeners into the "liminal space"—that unique, quiet week between the holidays and the New Year. Using the metaphor of the "monkey bars," Rhodes explores the terrifying but necessary moment of suspension where we must let go of the past (2025) before we can firmly grasp the future (2026). Rather than rushing to fill this silence with strategic plans and checklists, Rhodes challenges leaders to stop "white-knuckling" clinging to the old tools of leadership and instead learn how to swing with the chaos. This episode features a 10-minute guided somatic visioning practice to help you regulate your nervous system, release the tension of the past year, and embody the wise, grounded leader your team needs. Rhodes also officially introduces his new Roads Less Traveled Coaching Cohort, an intimate, 6-week incubator for deep transformation. Key Reflections & Timestamps: [0:00] Entering the "Liminal Space": Navigating the quiet week between years. [1:15] The "Monkey Bar" Metaphor: Why we feel suspended between letting go and grabbing hold. [2:45] The trap of "White-Knuckling": Why old checklists and strategies are failing to hold the weight of the moment. [4:10] Introducing the Roads Less Traveled Coaching Cohort: Moving from doing the work to being the leader your team needs you to be. [6:30] Guided Visioning Practice Begins: shifting attention inward and finding ground. [7:30] Visioning 2026: A somatic inquiry into who you want to become next December. [10:15] The Somatic Marker: Teaching your nervous system that it is safe to let go. [14:00] Integration: Two invitations to continue this work in the New Year.

High performance leaders often feel guilty when they slow down, rest, or delegate. If decision fatigue, role pressure, or success without fulfillment resonates, this episode reframes guilt as conditioning — and opens a path to identity-level relief.Many high-capacity humans describe what they feel as guilt — especially when they slow down, rest, delegate, or step back from constant responsibility. But what if that word isn't telling the truth?In this episode of The Recalibration with Julie Holly, we explore why high performers experience guilt even when nothing is morally wrong — and why that feeling is often a conditioned nervous system response rather than a failure of character.If you're navigating burnout recovery, decision fatigue, role confusion, or the quiet ache of success without fulfillment, this conversation offers language, relief, and compassion. We unpack how early belonging patterns, family-of-origin dynamics, and performance-based attachment can wire the brain to equate contribution with connection — and why slowing down can feel risky even when it's wise.This episode gently challenges the cultural and spiritual misuse of guilt, clarifying that what many leaders call “guilt” is often the body responding to unfamiliar safety. That distinction matters — because language shapes identity, and identity shapes behavior.This episode is especially supportive for high-capacity humans in career transition or life transition who sense that the role they're in no longer reflects who they're becoming — yet don't want to burn everything down to find relief.In this episode, we explore:Why guilt isn't a moral signal — it's often a relational oneHow decision fatigue and over-responsibility impact belongingWhy slowing down can feel unsafe even when nothing is wrongThe difference between guilt, conditioning, and identity driftHow presence replaces pressure as a steadier internal guideToday's Micro RecalibrationWhen guilt shows up, pause and ask:What is my body afraid will happen if I don't carry this? Then gently offer:What's actually true right now?No forcing. No convincing. Just orientation.Team reflection: Where might worth be quietly equated with constant output — and what would shift if rest and clarity were modeled as leadership strengths?Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Retrograding VillainsRevisiting the Medicine of Each Inner VillainIn this episode, Kristina and Anna step back and do something essential. They revisit every Inner Villain, not to re-explain the theory, but to clarify the medicine. What actually helps. What works in real life. What moves someone out of being stuck.This conversation reframes villain work as inversion, retrograde, and polarity shifts. Nothing to purge. Nothing to fix. Just learning how to move differently with what already exists.Stuckness is the real enemy. Movement is the cure.Core ThemeRetrograding a Villain means changing the spin, not erasing the trait.Every villain contains intelligence. When that intelligence freezes, it becomes destructive. When inverted, it becomes power.This episode walks through each villain with:A grounded overviewThe Hero form (the inversion)The Legend form (integrated mastery)Practical, lived examples of medicineVillain-by-Villain Breakdown1.

High performance leadership can feel exhausting even when nothing is “wrong.” If you're carrying responsibility, navigating decision fatigue, or questioning why success feels heavier than it should, this episode names what's really happening — and where relief begins.Leadership exhaustion doesn't always look like burnout.For many high-capacity humans, it shows up quietly — as decision fatigue, low-grade strain, role confusion, or the sense that success no longer feels the way it should. You're still functioning. Still performing. Still relied on. And yet, something feels heavier than it used to.In this episode of The Recalibration with Julie Holly, we explore why leadership can feel exhausting even when nothing is technically “wrong.” This conversation is for leaders, entrepreneurs, caregivers, executives, investors, and anyone carrying responsibility that lives inside the body — not just on a job description.You'll learn why this isn't a motivation problem or a mindset issue, and why traditional burnout recovery advice often misses the real source of fatigue. We name what happens when identity and responsibility quietly fuse over time — a pattern many experience as role confusion, success fatigue, or spiritual exhaustion.If you're in a career transition, life transition, or simply sensing that the role you're in no longer reflects who you're becoming, this episode offers orientation, relief, and truth — without asking you to blow up your life or perform your way out.In this episode, we explore:Why leadership fatigue isn't a failure — it's often misalignmentHow decision fatigue and over-responsibility impact the nervous systemWhat identity drift looks like in high-capacity humansWhy rest doesn't always restore when identity is carrying the loadHow presence over performance changes leadership from the inside outToday's Micro RecalibrationAsk yourself:What am I carrying right now that feels personal — not just professional? Then notice where you feel it in your body. No fixing. Just awareness.Team extension: When leaders stop normalizing over-carrying, teams become clearer, safer, and more resilient. Regulated leaders create regulated cultures — without ever saying a word.If this episode resonated, join us inside the private Recalibration community and bring this work into embodied practice during Recalibration Live on Fridays.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

As we wrap up our year together, I want to invite you into this meaningful spiritual practice: looking back on 2025 through the lens of Psalm 107 to identify the “fingerprints of God’s faithfulness.” In this episode, we'll walk through four redemptive storylines found in the Psalm—each representing a way God rescues, restores, and reorients His people. Whether you felt lost, trapped, wounded, self-destructive, or overwhelmed by storms, I encourage you to reflect on how God met you in weakness and brought deliverance. We'll close with encouragement for 2026, including the return of my “One Word” series and an upcoming study of Hebrews with a downloadable study guide. What We Cover: 1. God invites believers to tell their story Psalm 107 opens with an invitation: “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.” Reflect on how God has been present—even when it was hard to see. 2. Wisdom comes from reflecting on God's loving deeds The final verse of Psalm 107 is a guiding practice: wise people heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord. 3. Psalm 107 gives four redemption storylines to help interpret your year Psalm 107 offers us four major story arcs that may mirror parts of your 2025: From Longing to Belonging (lost → led home) From Broken to Free (bondage/shame → freedom) From Foolish to Healed (self-destruction → inner renovation) From Pride to Peace (storms and overwhelm → God stills the waves) 4. God often meets us when we are at the end of ourselves Each storyline shares a common theme: people reach the end of their rope, cry out to God, and He responds with rescue. This directly connects us to Jesus’ teachings—less self-reliance opens space for more of God. 5. 2026 will include a “One Word” January + Hebrews Study (Feb–Easter) I'll preview a return to my popular One Word series and share more about a full study of the Book of Hebrews, with a study guide starting in February.

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 pullSuccess without fulfillment creates disorientation, not failureIdentity drift happens when we continue chasing outdated definitions of successSpiritual exhaustion can arise when striving replaces alignmentMotivation rooted in identity must recalibrate before new desire emergesJulie 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 RecalibrationGently say to yourself:I release old measuresand choose true ones.Notice what softens.Notice what resists.Both are information.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.
