I wanted to do a mid month energy update for the month of June! Let me know your thoughts. For a lot of you, the first half of 2026 was internal. Heavy. Quiet in the ways that matter most. You were doing the work and showing up, shifting beliefs, rewiring patterns, building new habits, but the outside of your life hadn't caught up yet. You kept going anyway. That's the part nobody talks about. The season where you're doing everything right and it still looks the same. Where you're becoming someone different but your circumstances haven't gotten the memo. That season is now ending. Mid-June is where the internal work starts to express itself externally. The momentum you built, slowly, quietly, sometimes painfully, has reached a tipping point. It's heavy enough now that it moves on its own. You don't have to push it anymore. You just have to stay in alignment with it. Here's what that actually looks like: relief in places that felt pressured. Opportunities that feel like they found you. A version of yourself showing up more consistently, even on hard days, than the old version ever did. But there's a catch. This is also the exact moment most people self-sabotage. Not because they're broken or there's something wrong with them. Because their nervous system doesn't recognize the new level yet. Things start to move fast, life gets activated, and the old identity gets loud. And without the right container, people retreat back to what's familiar and wonder what happened to all that momentum. If you're inside the Identity Alchemy Challenge, you know what I'm talking about. This is why we do the work we do. Not just to feel the shift, but to hold it. Check out the full reading in the video and let me know what resonates. Where are you noticing the shift showing up this month? Drop it in the comments. 👇

I just want to talk about what I'm experiencing at this point in the Identity Alchemy Challenge. Day 23/28: We are getting close to the end now and everything is going according to schedule and my body is literally feeling the gradual shifts that haven taken place. The work is compounding and now the body is catching up to the work we've done up until now. I want to start by saying, It feels VERY uncomfortable to have more time and energy. It's like my mania wants to kick in a spend it all like a kid with too much money in a candy shop. I want to GOOO even when I'm meant to be still. My body spent its whole life being overactivated and in overdrive. This is part of living with bipolar. It's been my mission to manage my bipolar by giving myself structure and managing my energy intentionally and my body simply wants to get up go go go go. So much is coming up that hasn't been processed over the years and it has triggered my PTSD symptoms, to be honest. My time in the military suppressed parts of my identity that didn't have the space or acknowledgement to be processed so it got shoved down. Im at a point in my life, many years later, that I'm able to now process it. My nervous system is already always activated from a biological stand point so things compound quickly when living with bipolar. It's like always being turned on and the military trauma added to this and made it MUCH worse. Part of finding myself outside of the military, is managing the need to operate from hyper vigilance and urgency. I'm VERY aware of when I'm activated and even now as I type, I'm speeding up while typing and feeling the tension and speed rise as autopilot starts to take over simply by talking about this. What has been helpful for me is to intentionally SLOW DOWN as often as I can but ESPECIALLY when I notice things start to become rapid like my talking or my thoughts, or when I feel like I can't sit still. This creates the sensation of wanting to jump out of my skin. I'm developing the discipline to overcome this and so the work is working but it has been HARD.

This is your daily check-in thread for the entire 28-day challenge. Every day, drop your update in the comments below. This is how you mark the day as done — not just in the tracker, but in community. Accountability is not a performance. It is a signal to your nervous system that the new identity is real and witnessed. Copy the template below, fill it in, and post it as a comment. 📋 DAILY CHECK-IN TEMPLATE Day ___ of 28 | House of ___ ✅ Tasks completed: ___ / ___ 🔥 Current streak: ___ days ⭐ Alignment today: ★★★★★ How I showed up today: One thing I noticed: Tomorrow I am choosing: --------- Once you have posted your comment: → Right-click your comment → Copy link → Paste it into the tracker to verify and unlock your green day The green day does not unlock without the post. That is intentional. The identity is built in the doing and the declaring — not just one of them. See you in the comments. 🌿 — Holly

Hi everyone! I wanted to create one formal place for app-related bug reports so I can keep everything organized and make sure nothing gets missed. A few members have already mentioned issues they’ve been experiencing, and I want you to know those have been heard. I’m actively working on the bugs right now and doing a larger overhaul of the app as we speak so the experience is smoother, easier to use, and more aligned with how the Academy is meant to function. If you notice anything not working properly inside the app, please post it in the comments here. When reporting a bug, please include: 1. What issue you’re experiencing 2. Where it happened in the app 3. What device you’re using 4. A screenshot or screen recording if you have one Examples: buttons not working, pages not loading, login issues, formatting problems, broken links, missing content, confusing navigation, etc. This thread will help me track everything in one place while the overhaul is happening. Thank you for your patience as I clean things up behind the scenes. Your feedback is genuinely helpful and it’s making the app better for everyone. note: I might have to pause the challenge until I can get some of the major issues fixed. I hope it won't come to that but I want to make sure everyone has a smooth experience. This is only making the app better for us all :)

We're at day four and if you've been tracking honestly, you already know. The old patterns don't disappear just because you decided to change. They show up. Loudly. In the moments you least expect; when you're tired, when you're triggered, when someone pushes a button you didn't even know was still live. That's the work revealing itself. Today we're looking at what identity shows up when you're under pressure, the version of you that comes out in reaction, in the automatic moments, in the split second before you can even think. That's the identity still running the default program. Your nervous system defaults to the familiar under stress. Every time. That's just biology. And it's exactly why the 1% daily action exists, because you're not waiting until a crisis to become the new version of you. You're building then now, in the small moments, so everything is already wired when a trigger comes up. It's why training in the military is so important for when reality hits and you're prepared. The tracker is going to make this impossible to ignore. Let it. 🧠 Core Teaching 01 Reminder Your brain does not update through grand gestures. It updates through repetition. Every time you practice your 1% daily action, you're sending one signal to your nervous system: this is who we are now. Not a declaration. Not a breakthrough moment. A quiet, consistent message practiced daily, strengthened every single time you chose it when you didn't feel like it. ✅ Your Day 4 Homework Before you do anything else today: 1. Watch the Day 4 Intro VideoThe context for everything we're working with today 2. Complete & check off the homework in the 7 Day Sprint Walkthrough 3. Watch the BTS Video —> this one is REALLY important, don't skip it. It was really profound 4. Go to your blueprint and find your 1% daily action and practice it today, exactly as written, at the time you planned 5. Notice what comes up: the resistance before, the relief after, the small satisfaction of choosing it anyway 6. Write one sentence: what did it feel like to choose this today? 7. Check it off in your tracker (that checkmark is a neural pathway being reinforced)
