#74 Stop Earning What God Already Gave You

You’ve proven yourself a thousand times over — but still feel like you can’t stop. This episode is your permission to rest, receive, and remember: you don’t have to earn what God already said was yours.

If you’re the kind of person others rely on — high performer, high achiever, leader — then you likely built your life on effort. But what happens when that effort turns into performance? When striving becomes your safety net?

In this episode, we name the invisible weight so many High Capacity Humans carry: the belief that they must earn their identity, their value, their belonging.

Julie shares a story from a client who had it all on paper — but couldn’t stop performing. And she reflects on her own journey of realizing: you don’t have to earn what God already gave you.

You’ll also hear the powerful recalibration story of former NFL linebacker Sam Acho, who stopped pretending and began leading from the unshakeable truth of who he already was.

This isn’t just an invitation to slow down. It’s an invitation to stop striving and start living like you’re already approved.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How high achievers unconsciously link performance to worth
• Why identity recalibration matters more than behavioral change
• What Sam Acho’s story reveals about public strength and private struggle
• How faith and nervous system safety intersect in true transformation

🧭 Today’s Micro-Recalibration:
Take five quiet minutes and ask yourself:
“Where in my life am I still trying to earn what God already gave me?”
Then write this sentence — or speak it aloud:
“I don’t have to earn what’s already mine.”
Let that truth land in your body.
