What if the success you worked so hard for is actually what’s holding you back? Keren Eldad (aka Coach Keren), a globally recognized executive coach, reveals the hidden costs of high performance — from burnout and perfectionism to chasing external validation. With empathy and sharp insight, she unpacks the "gilded cage" that traps achievers, showing how success can feel hollow without authenticity and purpose. Through candid stories and reflections, Keren offers a path to break free from overachievement and redefine success on your own terms. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone ready to trade the illusion of more for the freedom of enough.
