Break Free from Perfectionism, Anxiety & Burnout and Build a Life You Truly Love with Keren Eldad, Executive Coach & Author

Keren Eldad is an executive coach, speaker, author, and mentor to
high achievers. She helps them break free from burnout, escape
the perfectionism trap, and redefine success and true fulfillment
on their own terms.


Keren’s journey began with her own wake-up call. Despite holding
a prestigious C-suite role, being in a marriage that looked
perfect on Instagram, and living what seemed like a dream life,
she found herself deeply unfulfilled. Trapped in what she now
calls a “gilded cage,” she realized that no amount of external
success could fill an internal void. After years of personal
transformation, she now helps others escape the relentless
pursuit of more and build lives filled with purpose and joy.
She’s been named a Top 10 Executive Coach by the International
Coaching Federation and is the author of her most recent book,
Gilded: Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism,
and the Relentless Pursuit of More.


In this week's episode, we chat with Keren about the hidden
struggles of high achievers, including perfectionism,
self-judgment, and the pressure to always do more. Keren breaks
down why overachievers often play not to lose instead of truly
playing to win, how success without fulfillment is the ultimate
failure, and why mistakes are never life sentences—they’re just
delays. She also shares why self-compassion is key to real
growth, how recognizing burnout and unfulfillment can be the
first step to real change, and how shifting from a scarcity
mindset to an abundance mindset can open the door to more
happiness and success. We also get into how fear holds us back,
why gratitude and self-acceptance are game changers in creating a
life that actually feels good, and so much more.
