With a client roster that includes Olympic athletes, politicians, Hollywood stars, and global organizations like Estée Lauder, JPMorgan, and Nike, Keren specializes in guiding high achievers out of the endless grind and into true success and fulfillment. Her unique approach blends mindset mastery, wealth consciousness, and actionable strategies, making her a sought-after voice on building both happiness and wealth. On this episode we talk about: Why the traditional path to financial success is broken-and what's replacing it How Keren shifted from scarcity to abundance thinking (and grew her business 600%) The real meaning of “wealth consciousness” and how to develop it The importance of happiness and gratitude in building lasting wealth Actionable steps to reset your mindset and environment for financial growth Top 3 Takeaways Wealth is as much about mindset as it is about money-developing an abundance mentality is foundational to lasting success. Happiness and financial achievement are not mutually exclusive; building wealth holistically leads to greater fulfillment. Your environment and inputs-what you read, watch, and who you spend time with-directly impact your ability to create wealth. Notable Quotes "No unhappy journey has a happy ending." "Real wealth consciousness is not 'I have.' It's 'I can make it.'" "You have the ability to craft your own environment, which means you control who you become."

What if the very thing you think is protecting you is actually the thing holding you back? In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I sit down with Coach Keren Eldad to talk about breaking free from perfectionism, the gilded cages we build for ourselves, and what it really looks like to find freedom and fulfillment on the other side of divorce. Keren shares her own powerful story of walking away from a high-achieving, picture-perfect life that looked amazing on the outside but was slowly breaking her down on the inside. We dive into what it means to be a recovering perfectionist, how trauma and control show up in success-driven women, and why being fulfilled is not the same as being successful. Keren opens up about her abusive marriage, losing everything (including all her belongings in a fire), and rebuilding a life that actually feels good instead of just looking good. We also talk about entrepreneurship, money fears after divorce, and the courage it takes to be honest with yourself and start over from scratch.

Are you climbing the wrong ladder? Feeling stuck in a job that looks great on paper but drains your soul? In this Mailbag episode, Jean Chatzky and executive coach Keren Eldad tackle your biggest career and ambition dilemmas—whether you're burnt out in your 30s, reentering the workforce in your 40s, or wondering what's next at 55. Mailbag Questions: [01:00] “I Did Everything Right… So Why Am I Miserable?” [05:30] “Am I Too Late to Catch Up?” [10:00] “I'm 55, Bored, and Not Ready to Retire” [14:30] “How Do I Avoid a Life of Regret?” Looking for more financial confidence?
Are you constantly chasing the next big achievement, but still feeling unfulfilled? You're not alone. This week, we're diving into the concept of empty ambition—that relentless pursuit of success that often leaves high achievers burnt out, anxious, and wondering, “Is this all there is?” Our guest, Keren Eldad, executive coach, TEDx speaker, and the author of Gilded: Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism, and the Relentless Pursuit of More joins us to unpack why so many high-achieving women get stuck in a cycle of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and loss aversion — and how to break free.
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.In this episode, we'll talk to Keren about:* High achievers often struggle with perfectionism. [03:19]* Recognizing the red flags of unfulfillment. [04:44]* Playing to lose and not to win. [10:39]* Mistakes are not life sentences; they are opportunities for growth. [18:06]* Success without fulfillment is the ultimate failure. [22:31]* How to have happiness and true success.[23:54]* Keren's life story: the journey of transformation often begins at rock bottom. [25:32]* Challenges are a gift for personal growth. [30:07]* The anger can be a driving force but must be managed for happiness. [31:52]* Shifting from scarcity to abundance mindset. [36:42]* Fulfillment is satisfaction for what is and eagerness for more. [43:43]* Importance of self-compassion and acceptance. [46:44]* Purpose is found in how we do things, not just what we do. [54:11]* Understanding your why. [57:53]* Healthy relationships stem from self-love and acceptance. [59:41]* Know and own who you really are.

Keren shares her own experiences of feeling trapped by external achievements and reveals why emotional awareness, letting go, and self-discovery are key to finding true fulfillment.As we chat, we explore how emotional awareness and mindset play a huge role in personal growth, especially for those of us who feel restless despite hitting big milestones. Keren and I discuss the importance of letting go of perfectionism and learning to embrace the process, both in life and business.

Welcome to this week's True Fiction Project Podcast. I have the privilege of speaking with Keren Eldad, personal/business coach and TedTalk speaker. Keren starts the episode by telling us about her rocky transition from a “princess” life to military life. Next, she discusses what a coach is and how they differ from a therapist or teacher. She gives us some incredible insights into mindset shifts and how “hustle culture” is damaging to ourselves. Keren encourages taking control of our own lives and to push ourselves to discover our values and live to those values. At the end of the episode, we hear the short story titled Spec Ops for the Princess, written by Parker James. IN THIS EPISODE: [2:30] Keren Eldad discusses her military experience. [6:15] How did the early days shape who Keren is today? [7:20] How did Keren get into the coaching industry? [10:50] What is the difference between a coach, therapist, and teacher? [13:38] What are “princessy values,” and do they have a purpose? [16:24] Do big companies like Nike, Este Lauder, etc. need “saving?” [17:52] What is the superstar paradox? [20:44] How does one stop him or herself from becoming an “overachiever?” [23:02] What was it like being mentored by Olympia Dukakis? [27:23] Short story Spec Ops for the Princess by Parker James KEY TAKEAWAYS: Superficial things will not build our character. Those things will not bring you any happiness. Focus on your values and live your life towards those values - that is what will fill your life with joy and happiness. Everybody could use clarity, ease, and tools to feel like they are in the driver's seat of their own life. This is what a coach helps you with. They uncover beliefs and where the views came from and help you choose a new set of beliefs to reach your goals. When you're in survival mode, you are in a completely different mode. You are twice as likely to be depressed or anxious the higher your income and achievement levels are. Your focus is on the things that don't bring you joy and experiences in your life.
