High performance and faith often collide, leaving you spiritually exhausted. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals how to move from doing for God to walking with Him — and why your worth was never in your work, but in His workmanship.High performers don't usually think of themselves as performers — especially in faith. But for many, excellence in leadership has quietly merged with striving in spirituality.In this week's Sunday Vertical Integration episode, Julie Holly helps high-capacity humans uncover the difference between doing for God and being with God. Through Matthew 11:28–30 (NLT) and Psalm 127:1, she reframes the exhaustion so many faith-driven achievers feel — the weight of devotion turned into duty.You'll discover how to separate obedience from overextension, and how recalibration restores your ability to lead with peace, not pressure. This episode speaks directly to the high performer's hidden fear: that slowing down might mean losing their edge.As Julie shares from her own story — replacing communion with contribution, and learning to rest inside God's delight — you'll realize that intimacy with the Sovereign isn't measured by what you produce but by how much room you give Him to be with you.This isn't mindset work or productivity theory. It's Identity-Level Recalibration — the root-level alignment that makes every other spiritual, emotional, and leadership tool finally work again.You'll walk away with practical, faith-centered insight for burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, and decision fatigue — anchored in one truth: You were never called to perform for God, only to partner with Him.Today's Micro Recalibration:“If I believed the Sovereign already delights in me, how would I lead differently?”Let that question become your quiet leadership audit today. When you lead from delight, peace becomes your power.Semantic Keyword Clusters Included:high performance, burnout recovery, decision fatigue, success fatigue, role confusion, spiritual exhaustion, identity misalignment, identity drift, belonging, faith-based leadership, presence over performance, grace, stewardship, peace, leadership recalibration, wholenessNamed Entities Referenced:Jesus (Matthew 11:28–30, NLT)Psalm 127:1 (NLT)If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Join us as we see the love of God decreed before the foundation of the world and perfectly demonstrated through work of Jesus Christ!

Hoàng gia Anh hiện được cho là một trong những hoàng gia giàu có nhất châu Âu và sẽ còn có sức sống lâu dài vì sau khi vua Charles lên nối ngôi Nữ hoàng Elizabeth II vào năm 2022, thì có con ngài là Thái tử William còn trẻ. Và William hiện có ba con, hai hoàng tử bé và một công chúa. Như thế, việc nối ngôi cho triều đại của dòng họ Mountbatten-Windsor được đảm bảo. Nhưng thực sự chúng ta có biết nhiều về Hoàng gia Anh ? Thông tín viên Nguyễn Giang, người đã sống ở Anh nhiều năm và theo dõi chủ đề này, cho RFI biết về lịch sử Hoàng Gia Anh, những gì họ sở hữu, điều đặc biệt trong cách chi tiêu và nguyên tắc kế vị : RFI : Ngược về quá khứ lịch sử, Hoàng gia Anh có gốc gác từ đâu ?  TTV Nguyễn Giang : Vâng, xin giải thích dài dòng là chế độ phong kiến tập quyền của Anh đến từ đâu. Đến từ Pháp vào nửa sau thế kỷ 11 và tồn tại đến bây giờ, Hoàng gia, như một định chế chính trị và văn hóa, tồn tại ở Anh liên tục từ thế kỷ 11, không đứt quãng, còn gia tộc nào nắm quyền thì mỗi thời một khác. Chúng ta biết trong lịch sử có các triều đại làm vua chúa ở Anh như Plantagenet (gốc Anjou, Pháp), có nhà Tudor (tức Theodore, xứ Wales), có nhà Stuart (Scotland), và dòng Hanover từ Đức mà người đại diện cuối cùng là Nữ hoàng Victoria. Gia tộc nắm ngai vàng hiện nay có họ gốc Đức là Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, đến năm 1917 thời vua George V thì đổi sang họ Windsor, lấy tên lâu đài Hoàng gia ở gần Luân Đôn. Còn về dòng máu của các thành viên Hoàng gia Anh cũng như châu Âu thì họ thường có hôn nhân pha trộn rất phức tạp. Cụ thể vua Charles hiện nay có ông bà là người Anh, người Đan Mạch, Đức, Hy Lạp và cả Scotland nữa. Còn nói về thể chế và các quy tắc họ tuân theo để bảo tồn một nhà nước có vua thì tất cả bắt đầu từ năm 1066. Năm đó, công tước Guillaume hay William từ xứ Normandy ở vùng bờ biển miền tây bắc nước Pháp đem quân sang đánh vua Harold, người gốc Đan Mạch, ở trận Hastings bên bờ biển và tiến quân về Luân Đôn, giành được ngai vàng Anh.  Từ đó, Anh chính thức có chế độ phong kiến tập quyền theo mô hình Pháp và các đời vua Anh (Kings of England), trên thực tế trong 300 năm tiếp theo vẫn dùng tiếng Pháp ở triều đình, tiếng Anh Trung đại (Middle English) chỉ dùng trong dân. Hoàng gia Anh thực chất là sinh hoạt theo kiểu Pháp và giới quý tộc Anglo-Saxon cũ, thường rất đơn giản, chỉ có ba cấp vua, các thân vương và tộc trưởng (chieftain, gọi là earl- sau đổi thành count-bá tước), cũng cải tổ theo hệ thống kiểu Pháp, đủ 5 tước vị : công - hầu - bá - tử - nam tước theo truyền thống hiệp sỹ (chivalry) của châu Âu. RFI : Trong thời hiện đại, khác với các nước châu Âu đã chuyển sang nền cộng hòa, Anh vẫn còn vua chúa và quý tộc. Vậy thực sự họ làm gì và có vai trò gì trong xã hội ?  TTV Nguyễn Giang : Nhiều nghi lễ ngày nay dòng họ Windsor vẫn giữ nguyên như thế từ thế kỷ 11 và Hoàng gia đứng đầu 600 dòng họ quý tộc gốc, hình thành sau cuộc xâm lăng của William, người chinh phục và được phong tước trong mấy thế kỷ sau đó. Đây là các tước quý tộc thực thụ của giới chúa đất vẫn còn quyền lợi (landed gentry), và được quyền trao lại cho con cháu họ (hereditary titles). Họ khác hẳn với những người bình thường, được tặng các tước sir, lord (baronnes), hiệp sĩ, quý ông quý bà trong danh sách của Hoàng gia công bố mỗi dịp năm mới (New Year's Honours List). Danh sách này có hàng trăm người thuộc giới doanh nhân, văn nghệ sĩ, nhà hoạt động xã hội và sĩ quan quân đội. Sau nhiều năm phong tặng, con số người có các tước “quý tộc ban thưởng” này hiện ở Anh có trên 30 nghìn, mới đây gồm cả cựu cầu thủ bóng đá David Beckham. Thế nhưng các tước này có giá trị như huân huy chương, bằng khen, và không có quyền thế tập, truyền lại cho con cháu.  RFI : Hiện nay Đế quốc Anh không còn nữa thì vai trò chính trị của Hoàng gia là gì?  TTV Nguyễn Giang : Anh quốc là nền dân chủ có lâu đời trên thế giới nhưng theo thể chế quân chủ lập hiến (constitutional monarchy), và vẫn duy trì Vương triều: dòng họ Windsor. Nhà vua đóng vai trò Nguyên thủ Quốc gia (Head of State) để đại diện cho nước Anh trên thế giới, và phê chuẩn các đạo luật, bổ nhiệm thủ tướng. Ngài cũng là Tổng tư lệnh quân đội và theo truyền thống của Quân đội Anh, các sĩ quan cao nhất của các quân binh chủng đều được nhà vua phong tước quý tộc tượng trưng, còn bản thân vua Charles khi còn là Thái tử được mẹ của ngài, Nữ hoàng Elizabeth II lúc sinh thời, phong tước Nguyên soái (Field Marshall) vào năm 2012. Không quân và Hải quân Anh đều có chữ “Hoàng gia” (Royal) và trên lý thuyết là thuộc về nhà vua.  Thế nhưng, vua Charles III còn có vai trò nữa là “người dẫn dắt quốc gia” (Head of Nation) về mặt văn hóa, là người nắm quyền chủ thể (the Sovereign) duy trì tính truyền thống Anh, và lễ nghi, đem lại sự ổn định và tính kế thừa, đoàn kết quốc dân. Các hoạt động vì cộng đồng, từ thiện nếu làm tốt là được nhận huân huy chương từ Hoàng gia, chứ không phải từ quan chức chính phủ.  RFI : Hoàng gia Anh, cụ thể là vua Charles III và các thành viên Hoàng gia có sở hữu tài sản khắp cả nước hay không và họ quản lý tài sản ra sao?  TTV Nguyễn Giang : Ở đây cần phân biệt hai loại tài sản. Loại thứ nhất tư dinh, điền sản và tiền bạc của riêng Nhà vua và Hoàng gia, thuộc về cá nhân họ. Loại thứ hai là tài sản của vương triều (Crown Estate) và ai làm vua nước Anh thì được sử dụng suốt đời nhưng không phải là tài sản cá nhân nên không thể bán đi bỏ túi.  Xin nói cụ thể, tính đến tháng 5/2025 thì tài sản riêng của Nhà vua Charles III (personal fortune, not including the crown estate) là £640 triệu bảng Anh (trên 850 triệu USD), đưa ông trở thành triệu phú lớn nhưng chưa phải tỷ phú. Đó là trị giá hai khu dinh thự ở Balmoral (Scotland) và Sandringham (Norfolk) kèm đất đai xung quanh, cộng các khoản nhà vua đầu tư vào các quỹ khác nhau, lợi tức từ kinh doanh mà vua giao cho các công ty phụ trách.  Còn tài sản Hoàng triều, gồm các cung điện lớn nhất nước Anh và cũng là trụ sở và nơi ở của vua như Điện Buckingham ở thủ đô và Lâu đài Windsor ở phía Tây Nam Luân Đôn, cùng nhiều điền trang thái ấp như Duchy of Cornwall...ước tính có giá trị 16 tỷ bảng Anh, thực chất là thuộc về Vương quốc Anh, và ai làm vua thì quản trị chứ không phải của riêng của dòng họ Windsor hiện nay. Lâu đài Windsor chẳng hạn có từ thời vua William người Pháp (1066), nay là trụ sở ngoài Luân Đôn của Vua Charles nhưng cũng là dinh thự quốc gia, nơi đón các khách quốc tế, ví dụ như Tổng thống Emmanuel Macron của Pháp mới đây. Ngoài ra, Crown Estate sở hữu và quản trị các “công quốc” (duchies), tức là các khu trang trại sản xuất nông nghiệp, đem lại lợi tức lớn. Tiền đó được chuyển vào một ngân hàng do chính phủ Anh quản lý (Consolidate Fund) và chừng 25% đem ra chi lại cho Hoàng gia để đi lại, bảo dưỡng, trùng tu các cung điện...  Thế nhưng, các tài sản này như đã nói, thuộc về Vương triều, và vua Anh không thể đem cho thuê, bán cho bất cứ ai ở Anh hay ở nước ngoài. Các hoàng tử, công chúa cũng không được hưởng gì từ những tài sản này. Ví dụ còn nhỏ thì họ được ở cùng cha mẹ, tức là vua và hoàng hậu (thời trước là nữ hoàng và phu quân) trong các cung điện đó nhưng họ không có quyền thừa kế. Chỉ vị trưởng nam, hoặc trưởng nữ (như trường hợp công chúa cả Elizabeth kế vị vua cha George V), thì được hưởng tiếp tục quyền lợi ở trong các cung điện, dinh thự này. Những người khác, vẫn là hoàng tử, công chúa thì có thể phải rời đi.  RFI : Về chi tiêu của Hoàng gia thì nhà nước Anh, hay người đóng thuế Anh phải bỏ ra bao nhiêu một năm?  TTV Nguyễn Giang : Số tiền Nhà nước Anh, chi cho hoạt động của nhà vua và Hoàng gia hàng năm là khoảng 86-87 triệu bảng (tương đương 115 triệu USD). Như tôi nói ở trên, tổng tài sản của Hoàng triều (Crown Estate) trị giá 16 tỷ bảng, đem lại lợi tức hàng năm và nhà nước Anh thu tiền đó lại rồi lấy ra 25% chi lại cho Hoàng gia, gọi là Sovereign Grant.  Trong khoản tiền này thì chừng 50-51 triệu bảng chủ yếu để bảo vệ, duy trì, sửa sang các dinh thự, cộng với chi phí đi lại, ví dụ vua Charles đi thăm nước nào đó, ở cương vị Nguyên thủ Quốc gia thì đó là chi phí máy bay, khách sạn... Ví dụ từ năm ngoái tới nay, Hoàng gia có thuê 55 chuyến bay riêng với gần 600.000 bảng Anh, và các chuyến bay theo lịch trình mất 126.000 bảng Anh. Tổng chi phí đi lại của hoàng gia là 4,7 triệu bảng Anh, tăng 500.000 bảng so với năm trước. Trong năm qua, khoản chi lớn nhất là 400.000 bảng cho chuyến đi của Nhà vua và Hoàng hậu tới Úc và Samoa. Nếu chia ra thì để duy trì các hoạt động của Hoàng gia, mỗi người dân Anh hàng năm đóng góp chừng 77 xu Anh.    RFI : Theo anh tìm hiểu thì nguyên tắc truyền ngôi và thừa kế tài sản, các cung điện, dinh thự lớn của Hoàng gia Anh ra sao?  TTV Nguyễn Giang : Phải nói rằng Hoàng gia Anh đứng trên cao nhất nhưng không đứng ngoài các nguyên tắc của quý tộc Anh : hạn chế quyền thừa kế, chỉ cho trưởng nam, hoặc trưởng nữ nếu vua không có con trai. Đây là nguyên tắc ‘primogeniture', nói rằng trừ một số biệt lệ với quý tộc Scotland cho con gái có quyền thừa kế, chỉ con trai trưởng được thừa kế gia sản đi kèm tước vị. Nếu nhà quý tộc có hai con trai trở lên, các con trai thứ sẽ không nhận được gì.  Với Hoàng gia Anh, khi Nữ hoàng Elizabeth còn sống thì Thái tử Charles là người duy nhất thừa kế ngai vàng cùng các điền sản, tiền bạc từ mẹ. Các hoàng tử thứ Andrew và Edward, cùng công chúa Anne bị loại ra ngoài khoản thừa kế. Nay thì vua Charles sẽ để lại hết cho Thái tử William, còn hoàng tử Harry thì ngoài các khoản tiền hay dinh thự tư nhân mẹ để lại, không được thừa kế cả quyền sống trong các lâu đài của Hoàng gia. Nay đã sang Mỹ sinh sống, vị Hoàng tử này đã trọ ở khách sạn trong lần gần nhất về Luân Đôn tham gia một vụ kiện chống lại báo chí Anh. Tất nhiên ta phải hiểu là Hoàng tử Harry như một công dân bình thường thì vẫn có quyền nhận thừa kế từ cha mẹ (Công nương Diana khi tử nạn năm 1997 ở Paris có để lại tài sản cho hai con trai, William và Harry), nhưng đó là tài sản cá nhân, còn các điền trang thái ấp thuộc Hoàng triều (Crown Estate) thì chỉ được trao cho trưởng nam, hoặc trưởng nữ nếu nhà vua không có con trai.  Nguyên tắc này còn phân biệt đối xử với phụ nữ. Với các công chúa Anh thì con của họ đều không còn tước quý tộc. Ví dụ hai con của Công chúa Anne, em gái Vua Charles, là Zara và Peter Philipps, thì mang họ cha, một sĩ quan quân đội không phải quý tộc. Xin mở ngoặc là điều này khiến Hoàng gia Anh khác hẳn với các dòng đế hệ của triều Nguyễn ở Việt Nam mà từ thời vua Minh Mạng đã để lại các tên riêng, đánh dấu địa vị quý phái của họ, gồm cả công tằng tôn nữ cho cháu chắt của vua chúa đến mấy đời sau. Bên này chỉ đến đời thứ hai, con của công chúa trưởng đã mất hết tước vị.  Chúng ta hiểu là thời xưa, nguyên tắc ưu tiên trưởng nam trong luật thừa kế của vua chúa có ý nghĩa lớn cho sự ổn định của triều đại. Họ hạn chế nạn phân phong đất đai, dẫn tới cạnh tranh kiểu sứ quân. Ngày nay, quy chế truyền ngôi chỉ cho trưởng nam đúng là bất công với anh em trong một nhà, nhưng lại giúp bảo toàn được uy quyền của Vương triều, không để xảy ra việc xé lẻ đất đai, cung điện và tài sản.  RFI : Cuối cùng, Hoàng gia làm gì để tồn tại và phù hợp với tình hình?  TTV Nguyễn Giang : Việc đầu tiên tôi thấy là tính minh bạch của tiền bạc Hoàng gia. Họ công bố hết mọi chi tiêu trên các trang mạng của Quốc hội, của Hoàng triều, ai cũng đọc được. Điều này nhằm mục tiêu chứng minh cho công chúng rằng Hoàng gia không phải là một bộ máy phong kiến « ăn trên ngồi trốc ». Họ đóng góp vào công quỹ và nhận được trợ cấp từ chính phủ để lo việc nước. Có thế họ mới tồn tại được trong một thể chế dân chủ. Vua cũng có trách nhiệm giải trình.  Thứ nhì, từ thời Nữ hoàng Elizabeth II thì số người thuộc Hoàng gia (Royal Family) đã bị giảm đi rất nhiều, để tránh tiếng là Hoàng gia đông quá. Ngày xưa, người trong Hoàng tộc, gồm hàng trăm người, và ai cũng giàu có, cao quý cả. Nhưng nay danh sách “thành viên Hoàng gia đang làm việc cho Quốc vương” (working royals) chỉ còn 11 đại diện cho vua để dự các lễ nhà nước, lo hoạt động đối ngoại, tiếp tân, từ thiện … Những người này được nhận tiền trợ cấp của vua khi làm việc chứ không ăn lương năm.  Còn về tài sản riêng, có những động tác cho thấy Hoàng gia cắt giảm chi tiêu. Ví dụ, năm nay vua Charles vừa ra lệnh dừng sử dụng đoàn tàu hỏa riêng từ năm 2027 để tiết kiệm. Đây là đoàn tàu Royal Train do Nữ hoàng Victoria đặt hàng hai toa riêng cho Hoàng gia vào năm 1869. Khi đó, xe lửa là phương tiện giao thông công cộng duy nhất nối các vùng của Anh, với tuyến đầu tiên xây xong năm 1825. Cho tới gần đây, Royal Train được sử dụng rộng rãi trong các sự kiện trong thời kỳ kỷ niệm vàng và kim cương của Nữ hoàng Elizabeth II ở nửa sau  thế kỷ 20 – và lần tân trang mới nhất cho các toa tàu diễn ra vào giữa thập niên 1980.  Thế nhưng càng về gần đây, Hoàng gia dùng xe hơi, máy bay, trực thăng để di chuyển, nên trong năm 2024-2025 đoàn tàu chỉ được sử dụng trong hai dịp nên họ quyết định từ năm 2027 sẽ dừng dịch vụ này, đem các toa tàu đi trưng bày.  Cuối cùng, như đã nói ở trên, nguyên tắc trưởng nam thế tập tước vị và điền sản, còn con trai thứ, con gái, dù là hoàng tử, công chúa đều bị loại hoàn toàn khỏi các chức vụ và đặc quyền đặc lợi, khiến cho công chúng cảm thấy là chỉ có một người được làm thái tử, làm vua, và đó là làm việc cho đất nước.  Tài sản của Hoàng triều là của nước Anh chứ không phải của riêng của vua, nữ hoàng, để rồi có bao nhiêu cung điện - di sản của quốc gia - lại đem chia nhau. Như đã nói ở trên, Hoàng tử Harry là không còn sống ở Anh, không làm việc đại diện cho Hoàng gia nữa thì không chỉ mất luôn tiền trợ cấp mà còn bị tước hết các chức vụ trong quân đội. Đây là thông điệp mạnh mẽ của vua Charles để chứng minh Hoàng gia đặt lên mức cao nhất công tác phụng sự quốc dân, chứ không bao giờ thiên vị con mình.

High performance feels powerful—until it starts to cost your peace. In this episode, Julie Holly unpacks why success can feel heavy, how story work reveals hidden pressure, and how recalibration restores sustainable excellence without losing your edge.High performance isn't the problem—it's who's driving it.In this opening episode of Season Three of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores what happens when the same discipline and devotion that built your success start working against your peace. Many high performers quietly carry burnout, decision fatigue, and a loss of joy behind the veneer of achievement.Drawing from psychology, faith, and story work, Julie reveals how narrative reinforcement—the brain's way of protecting identity—can keep high-capacity humans stuck in cycles of striving. She shares how reframing performance through Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) transforms pressure into peace. This isn't mindset work or productivity hacking—it's the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool finally work again.You'll also hear how Serena Williams embodied this shift, moving from proving to peace: learning to “trust her preparation instead of her push.” And through Matthew 11:28-30 (NLT), Julie reminds faith-rooted listeners that the Sovereign never called them to exhaustion—but to excellence through ease.

Welcome. Patchouli invites you into your body—earthy, sensual, sovereign.It's time to celebrate Patchouli—one of my great loves and haloed essential oils in aromatherapy's pantheon, alongside other jewels such as Lavender and Frankincense. We begin by sinking into Yuliana Kireyeva's synesthetic composition, an auditory translation of Patchouli's aromatic chemistry, before sauntering into Lola Ridge's poem “Potpourri,” a sultry, aromatic remembrance of New Orleans [~ minute 8:00]. With your whole being steeped in Patchouli—body, breath, memory, and energy—I guide you through a “Boundary of Sovereign Light” visualization [~ minute 9:00], a ritual to awaken your luminous boundary, reclaim energetic clarity, and embody your sovereign radiance.Then words from the photographer Minor White unexpectedly resurfaced while I was recording the episode [~ minute 16:00].But wait, of course there's a seasonal theme to explore! Late summer into early autumn is Patchouli's season: the harvest time of boundaries, reflection, and the thinning veil between worlds. Rooted in humus-rich soil and shaded from the high-heat sun, Patchouli mirrors this liminal space—earthy, sensual, quietly abundant—and supports us in releasing tension, sinking into our bodies, and resting in our own stillness.In the final segment, I share my personal love affair with Patchouli—from adolescent memories of “bad Patchouli” incense to nurturing Patchouli plants in my garden. Its personality is evoked with words such as sweaty, animalic, wet compost, and “Kundalini at rest”, before going deeper into Patchouli's power to support self-acceptance, sensuality, sexuality and, yes, boundaries. Earlier this season we looked at Yarrow and Clary Sage, if Yarrow is a neutral shield and Clary sage is earthy euphoria, then Patchouli is our earth-bound body at-rest, a snake master of itself, able to settle into our true selves, unapologetically wear our own skin, and help us set clear boundaries between what is ours and what is not.

Burnout recovery and spiritual exhaustion often come from resisting delay. In this Sunday episode, Julie Holly explores how divine timing develops depth—and why Abraham and David show us that waiting isn't punishment but sacred preparation.When success slows or progress stalls, even high-capacity humans start to question: Did I miss my moment? This episode of The Recalibration brings sacred reassurance that delay isn't denial—it's development.Through the stories of Abraham and David, Julie Holly explores how divine timing refines identity long before it reveals results. These two figures—chosen early, formed slowly, fulfilled fully—embody what Julie calls Faithful Becoming: the slow, sacred process where character catches up to calling.You'll learn how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) helps your nervous system interpret divine delay as formation, not failure. When your identity is secure, you stop panicking in the pause. You start partnering with the process.Drawing on both neuroscience and Scripture, Julie shows that what feels like stagnation may actually be spiritual preservation. Waiting is not wasted—it's the Sovereign's way of fortifying your faith, refining discernment, and preparing you to hold what's next without losing yourself in the noise.In this episode:Why divine delay protects your purposeHow to rebuild self-trust after missteps or disappointmentThe hidden work of waiting: nervous system recalibration and faith formationThe difference between stillness and stagnationWhy willingness matters more than perfectionThis isn't mindset work or performance management. It's Identity-Level Recalibration—the root-level shift that makes every other tool work again.Today's Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself: “Where have I mistaken divine development for delay?” Then write: “I'm not being withheld from—I'm being prepared for.” Let this truth become your new baseline of peace and patience.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Who do you belong to? The answer to this question deeply impacts the way you show up in the world. Are you living a life that's authentic to you or are you contorting yourself to fit the shape of someone else's vision? To be fully sovereign means to belong to oneself. In order to live from this place we must be willing to look at the “whole” of ourselves; the light and the shadow. When we bravely look at the things we'd prefer not to see, we start the journey toward spiritual integration.

In this episode, Julia speaks with identical twins Maryam and Nivaal, who often lead together as one voice. They share how their approach to leading has evolved sometimes converging, sometimes diverging and how they balance respect for each other's strengths with the need to make joint decisions. Maryam & Nivaal were part of Women Emerging expedition for Global Changemakers in partnership with YouthtopiaThe conversation explores a central dilemma for leaders: if you never listen, you risk mistakes and isolation; if you listen to everyone, you risk paralysis. Maryam and Neval talk candidly about how they've learned to find the balance, from setting boundaries around feedback to recognising when to say no, and creating structures that make input meaningful rather than overwhelming. Listen to this episode to explore how to find your own voice as a leader while still creating space for others and how to balance inclusion with clarity when making tough decisions. About the guest: Maryam and Nivaal Rehman became activists when they were eight years old, and started inspiring girls in their village in Pakistan to continue their education, when poverty was leading them to quit school and work instead. The now 18-year-old twins have since worked in their local and global community for causes including girls' education in Pakistan and around the world, climate justice, gender equality and inclusivity. They even have their own non-profit, The World With MNR, that uses advocacy, storytelling and development to take action and inspire others to do the same.They are continuing their activism through volunteering, traveling and sharing their experiences through their social media and their YouTube channel, The World With MNR. They've used their platform to cover several events — from the Social Good Summit in New York City, to the Girl Up Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. — and interview global figures, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai, and Madame Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank. Their activism has led to recognition in media and several awards, including the Governor General's Caring Canadian Award (now the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers). Most recently, they released their documentary on the status of girls' education in Pakistan, and held global screenings to spark further conversation and inspire audience members to take action themselves.

In 2 Chronicles 7 Yahweh answers Solomon by fire to accompany the huge number of sacrifices. Verses 1-3 tells us that when the priests saw this miraculous event that they responded by praising Yahweh forHis lovingkindness. Verses 4-6 says that there was an incredible number of animals slain as the priests blew their trumpets at the dedication of the House. Verse 7 says that additional to the offerings mentioned before there were peace offerings, burnt offerings and grain offerings made. Verses 8-10 speaks of the great assembly being gathered from the ends of the Land. Verses 11-18 say the Almightyappears to Solomon the second time and speaks of His sincere response to Solomon's loving and dedicated prayer. His ears would always be open and He would respond with loving kindness. Solomonurges his people that whenever they are in trouble they need to beseech their Almighty and loving Sovereign as He will be responsive to their pleas from His House - verse 15. Verses 19-22 indicate thatthe blessings on Solomon and his people are conditional and dependent on their obedience. Note therecurring use of the word IF in these verses.Ezekiel 42 describes the temple's chambers i.e. small rooms. These chambers occupy the entire length of the outer square buildings. These rooms may be for the instruction and meeting the needs of the worshippers who will come in their millions. They measure 500 reeds in length for each side (north, south, east and west) - that is of six cubits (being the Royal cubit of two feet in length - making each side of the House about 1.8288 kilometres long. The perimeter of the Temple would therefore be about 7.31 kilometres. Some versions of John 8 omit the earlier verses of this chapter. There can be little doubt that they should be included in the record. A woman was brought to the Lord caught in the very act of adultery. Where was the man also caught in the act? It was a set up designed to trap Jesus. The Law of Moses made it very clear that adultery was punishable by stoning. As the Lord's enemies persist in goading Jesus he says: "Let the one without sin cast the first stone". Then Jesus stoops down and writes in the dust - most likely our Lord wrote their names in fulfilment of Jeremiah 17 verse 13. One by one the Lord's foes leave beginning at the eldest. Finally, the woman is left alone with Christ and although he does not condemn her she is charged to go and sin no more. This obviously meant an abandonment of her current manner of life. A discussion follows as to Jesus being the light of the world - one of the many Messianic titles John uses. This leads on to a discussion regarding origins - our Lord was from God but his adversaries were murderous liars and were in no way children of Abraham. Only the truth could set them free. Finally, Jesus astounds his foes with a claim that he is the entire focus of God's purpose. Abraham understood this and rejoiced in that knowledge.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Decision fatigue makes risk feel overwhelming, but regret is far more costly. In this episode, discover how recalibration reframes risk as alignment — so you can expand without being haunted by “what if.”Risk feels loud in the moment — your chest tightens, your mind races, your body signals danger. But regret is quiet. It hides in the background until years later, when it echoes with full force: What if I had tried?For high-capacity humans navigating success fatigue, identity drift, and the weight of performance pressure, this tension is real. Risk feels urgent. Regret costs identity. And over time, regret erodes confidence, creativity, and stewardship.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why the nervous system magnifies risk while ignoring regret. Through the ILR (Identity-Level Recalibration) pathway, she shows how to retrain your body and mind to stop confusing risk with danger — and start seeing expansion as alignment.You'll hear Julie's own story of choosing to risk building The Recalibration, and how Jeff Bezos left Wall Street in the early 1990s — before e-commerce even existed — to build Amazon. His “regret minimization framework” became a lens for choosing stewardship over fear.The episode reminds us of a deeper faith truth: the Sovereign doesn't entrust gifts so we can bury them in the ground. Like the parable of the talents, stewardship means multiplying what we've been given.This isn't mindset coaching. This isn't another productivity hack. ILR is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective.Today's Micro Recalibration:Am I more afraid of failing — or of regretting not trying?Where am I letting risk shout louder than calling?What fruit could be multiplied if I chose stewardship over safety?If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.
