You've tried everything — the habits, the routines, the resets. But the patterns keep coming back. This episode breaks down why intensity won’t get you there — and how to shift with integration instead.
You've tried all the right things — early wakeups, new planners, strict morning routines — only to find yourself burned out, frustrated, and falling back into old patterns. In this episode, Julie Holly breaks down the root of sustainable change: integration over intensity.
You’ll learn how your nervous system, neuroplasticity, and spiritual grounding all play a role in rewiring your life at the identity level. Plus, the story of Reid Hoffman’s pivot from chaos at PayPal to calibrated consistency at LinkedIn.
We’ll link prior episodes for deeper context in the show notes.
