You’re not lazy. You’re not behind. And your energy isn’t broken. It’s likely misalignment — not burnout. Learn why high-capacity humans feel depleted, and how breath, identity, and presence help you recover without quitting it all.

You’re eating well. Sleeping decently. Still ambitious.
So why do you feel so drained?

Today’s episode will help you name what most high-capacity humans can’t:
Your exhaustion isn’t about doing too much — it’s about doing it from a misaligned identity.

Julie Holly walks you through why so many leaders, creatives, and vision-carriers feel fatigue they can’t explain — and why your nervous system often knows the truth before your mind will admit it.

You’ll learn:

• Why adrenaline can feel like energy — until it doesn’t
• What “wired but tired” really means
• The difference between high performers and high-capacity humans
• How breathwork can begin re-regulating your nervous system in 90 seconds
• How to reclaim energy without blowing up your life

Julie also guides you through two simple breath practices — 4-7-8 and Box Breathing — and explains how shallow breathing signals stress to the body, while deep breathing invites safety.

Plus, she shares how Michael Gervais, high-performance psychologist and author of Finding Mastery, shifted elite training from output to presence. His quote, “The quality of our lives is a direct reflection of the quality of our inner world”, anchors this recalibration. Julie shares how this book shaped her journey — and links it in the show notes.

Today’s Micro Recalibration

“Where in my life am I feeling tired — but it’s not physical?”
→ “What version of myself am I still performing that no longer feels true?”

For team leaders:

“What’s one thing you’re doing that feels more like proving than flowing?”

This is your permission slip to stop overriding your system and start listening to it.
Your exhaustion isn’t failure. It’s feedback.
And when you recalibrate your identity, your energy returns — without burnout.
