COACHED with Coach Keren

If you’ve ever held a dream so big it scared you - if you’ve ever wanted to start something new, scale something meaningful, or finally become visible in a world that rewards the brave - this conversation is your blueprint.In this Coaching Masters episode of COACHED, I sit down with Jasmine Star, CEO of Social Curator, multi–seven-figure founder, globally recognized strategist, and one of the clearest, most courageous voices in modern entrepreneurship.Jasmine’s rise is nothing short of remarkable: a first-generation daughter of immigrants, a law-school dropout who walked away from the “right” path, a photographer who built a business from scratch, and a founder who transformed a $19 PDF into a multimillion-dollar empire. Her story is discipline, resilience, reinvention — and unshakeable self-belief.Together, we explore what it really takes to build a life, a business, and a brand in the new era of entrepreneurship — and why visibility, consistency, and courage matter more than ever.This is not a typical business interview. It’s a masterclass in identity, faith, grit, and execution.In This Episode, We Explore:Why your first step is the most important one you’ll ever take(and how to take it without waiting to “feel ready.”)The new laws of visibility in the age of AIWhy hiding is now the most expensive decision you can make.How Jasmine built a multimillion-dollar empire from a $19 digital productA real-time lesson in starting where you are with what you have.The energetic difference between aspiration and actionHow to make your behavior finally match your dreams.The psychology of criticism, comparison, and being seenAnd why the internet does not get to decide your destiny.The role of partnership and supportThe way Jasmine and her husband work together as a team — and what that means for ambition, leadership, and family.Why iteration beats perfection 100% of the timeHow Jasmine uses testing, failing, learning, and trying again as a strategy for exponential growth.Why your brand must reflect your truest identityAnd why people don’t buy “perfect” — they buy presence.The future of business in 2026 and beyondAnd the specific skills every entrepreneur, creator, consultant, and coach must develop now.Key Ideas & Quotes“Your actions must map your aspirations.”“You can’t scale what you never start.”Visibility is no longer optional - it is currency.Discipline creates confidence; confidence creates opportunity.AI won’t replace you — but it will expose those who refuse to evolve.Connect with Jasmine Star:Website: https://jasminestar.com/Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/jasminestar/?hl=enPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-jasmine-star-show/id1479619320Connect with Coach Keren:Website: www.KerenEldad.comInstagram: @coachKerenListen & Subscribe🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-courage-to-begin-jasmine-star-on-visibility/id1467079024?i=1000741808574🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/72bcby702Y2gJO0AdSMUN2?si=f6e3c3c4abbb43c4📺 Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/lHgnx-pLdpU?si=YDE1oPMy9RnJIQrSIf this episode inspires you, please share it with a friend, tag @coachkeren, and...

In this Coaching Masters episode of COACHED, I, Coach Keren Eldad (PCC), sit down with one of my true heroes: Dr. Gay Hendricks – psychologist, teacher, and author of classics like The Big Leap, Conscious Loving, Five Wishes, Conscious Luck, and his new memoir, Loving Life.For over 50 years, Gay has helped millions of people (myself included) break free from hidden limits on their happiness and success, step into their Zone of Genius, and create relationships where honesty, responsibility, and creativity replace blame and hiding.In this conversation, Gay takes us behind the scenes of his life: from his spectacularly dysfunctional Southern family and 300-pound, chain-smoking twenties… to the fall on the ice that dropped him into pure consciousness… to meeting Ram Dass, starting a daily meditation practice in 1972, and building a body of work that has changed how we think about success, love, and luck.We talk about what really blocks our happiness (hello, Upper Limit Problem), what it actually takes to live in your genius zone, and how he and his wife Kathlyn have sustained 44+ years of conscious partnership.If you’re ready to stop self-sabotaging, claim your genius, and love more fully from wherever you are – this episode is a masterclass.In this episode, you’ll learn:Gay’s origin story & the fall that changed everythingGrowing up in Leesburg, Florida, in a loud, opinionated, “perfect for a future therapist” familyHis mother’s “on a dare” run for mayor, and the grandparents who barely spoke for decadesBeing the only obese kid in a skinny family, diet pills in 9th grade, and toxic early relationshipsThe ice fall at 24 that opened a window into pure consciousness – and why he committed to finding his way back thereMeditation, happiness, and a hotel room in rotten-egg spa townHow a Ram Dass lecture and a paperback in a grocery store doorway gave him a pathStarting a daily meditation practice in 1972 (and never missing a day since)The New Zealand flu story: being desperately ill, reeking sulfur, and discovering a layer of happiness that circumstances couldn’t touchWhy he says our “true home” is not ecstasy or achievement, but the quiet field of pure beingThe Upper Limit Problem & Zone of GeniusThe moment he noticed himself sabotaging weight-loss progress with a giant sundae in Harvard SquareHow we unconsciously cap our happiness and success because we’re “allergic” to feeling too goodThe four classic ways we upper-limit: worry, criticism, accidents/illness, and conflictThe Zone of Genius: the sweet spot where what you most love to do is what most serves the worldMoving from 10% genius time to 100% – and why Gay hasn’t done anything outside his Zone of Genius in 25 yearsConscious Loving & creating relationships where no one has to hideRealizing the problem wasn’t “out there”: “It’s an inside job. My job is to figure out who I am and what I want in love.”The three foundations he committed to before meeting Kathlyn: radical honesty, ownership instead of blame, and shared respect for creativityHow Conscious Loving went from living-room groups to a major book deal and an Oprah appearanceWhy “nobody ever blames their way to happiness or enlightenment”Luck, intention, and what’s nextThe ninth-grade decision to “be one of the lucky ones” – and the coin-collector story that followedWhy he says if you’re still stuck, you likely haven’t made a deep enough commitment...
