11/08/2026 | 34 mins.
What if everything you've worked so hard to build isn't freedom...but a beautifully decorated cage?
In this special episode, Coach Keren Eldad shares the full introduction to her bestselling new book, Gilt Free: Ditching Your Gilded Cage for Good.
If you've ever felt successful on paper yet strangely disconnected from yourself...
If you've checked every box but still wondered, "Is this really it?"
If you've built an impressive life while quietly sacrificing peace, joy, authenticity, or freedom...
this episode was written for you.
Inside this exclusive preview you'll discover:
• Why success without freedom is still a cage
• The hidden psychological trap high achievers rarely recognize
• The fascinating story of Consuelo Vanderbilt and the original "gilded cage"
• Carl Jung's concept of individuation—and why becoming yourself is the privilege (and fight) of a lifetime
• The moment that changed Keren's own life forever
• Why Gilt Free isn't about becoming more successful—it's about becoming more free
Whether you're an entrepreneur, executive, leader, creator, parent, or simply someone who's tired of performing your life instead of living it, this conversation will challenge the way you think about achievement.

✔ Why modern achievement often leaves us feeling empty
✔ The surprising psychology behind overachievement

Annalie Howling: The Cure for Shame Is Self-Compassion
06/08/2026 | 46 mins.
What if the exhaustion, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, and imposter syndrome you have spent years trying to fix are not actually the problem?
What if they are symptoms of something deeper?
In this deeply moving conversation, Coach Keren sits down with coach, speaker, and author Annalie Howling to explore the hidden force that drives so many high achievers: shame.
Annalie shares her extraordinary personal journey from a violent childhood, chronic self-doubt, and self-harm to becoming one of the leading voices on shame, trauma, and healing. Together, they unpack why achievement can never heal unworthiness, why burnout is often a wake-up call rather than a failure, and how self-compassion becomes the antidote to the belief that we are somehow not enough.
This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not about becoming someone else. It is about finally coming home to yourself.
In This Episode
Why high achievement often becomes a strategy for outrunning shame
The critical difference between guilt and shame
How childhood experiences shape adult identity and self-worth
Burnout as a symptom of living out of alignment
Why perfectionism and people-pleasing are survival mechanisms
Understanding imposter syndrome through the lens of shame
How Annalie transformed her relationship with her inner critic
The role of EMDR and trauma healing in lasting transformation
Why receiving compliments feels uncomfortable for so many people
The connection between self-compassion and true freedom
How to begin healing shame one small act of self-kindness at a time

Memorable Quotes
"I wasn't intolerant to gluten. I was intolerant to my life."
"Shame is always an 'I am' statement."
"The imposter's job is to police our shame from ever being discovered."
"There is a cure for shame, and it is self-compassion."
"Start by learning about yourself. Then liking yourself. Then loving yourself."

Remembering Dr. Carolyn Elliott: Existential Kink and Shadow Work
30/07/2026 | 59 mins.
This episode has become far more meaningful than I could have imagined when we recorded it.
Carolyn Elliott was one of the most original thinkers I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Brilliant, provocative, funny, and relentlessly committed to truth, she challenged thousands of people to question not only what they wanted from life- but why they remained attached to the very patterns they claimed to want to escape.
Tragically, Carolyn passed away shortly after this conversation. I later learned that this was the last podcast interview she ever recorded.
I cannot think of a more fitting way to honor her than to share her voice, her wisdom, and her extraordinary mind with all of you once again.
In this profound and deeply philosophical conversation, Carolyn and I explore shadow work, suffering, individuation, spirituality, power, and the unconscious forces that quietly shape our lives.
Carolyn—bestselling author of Existential Kink and founder of Immortal College—shares the personal experiences that led her to develop one of the most challenging and liberating frameworks in modern personal development: the possibility that some unconscious part of us may actually be invested in the very circumstances we consciously wish would disappear.
Together, we discuss why high achievers become trapped in recurring cycles, why healing cannot be another performance, and how lasting transformation begins when we are finally willing to tell ourselves the truth.
In this episode:
What "Existential Kink" actually means
Why the unconscious creates recurring life patterns
The hidden pleasure inside suffering, struggle, and martyrdom
Carolyn's journey through addiction, recovery, and depth psychology
Why spirituality can become another achievement identity
The difference between performative healing and genuine integration
The role of humility, groundedness, and radical honesty
Carl Jung's influence on Carolyn's work
The relationship between suffering, awakening, and individuation
Why freedom begins when we embrace the parts of ourselves we've spent our lives avoiding

If Carolyn's ideas move you as deeply as they moved me, I hope you'll read her books, share her work, and continue the conversations she devoted her life to having.
Her voice may be gone, but her ideas—and the courage with which she shared them—will continue to change lives for many years to come. May her memory be a blessing.
Coaching Masters: Human Design, Inner Authority & Living by Design with Holly Corbett
23/07/2026 | 40 mins.
What if the problem isn't that you're doing too little—but that you're trying to succeed in a way that was never designed for you?
In this episode of Coaching Masters, Coach Keren sits down with longtime friend, former journalist, author, and Quantum Human Design Specialist Holly Corbett for an illuminating conversation about one of today's fastest-growing personal development modalities: Human Design.
Join us for VIP Day 2026: https://coached-with-coach-keren.captivate.fm/vipday2026
Together they explore how understanding your energetic blueprint can help you make better decisions, trust yourself more deeply, and stop forcing a version of success that was never truly yours.
Rather than treating Human Design as prediction or personality typing, this conversation focuses on what matters most: discernment, self-awareness, and personal agency.
In this episode you'll learn:
What Human Design actually is.
The five Human Design energy types.
Why "authority" is one of the most practical decision-making tools in the system.
How Human Design complements coaching, therapy, and personal growth.
Why honoring your natural way of working creates greater fulfillment and impact.
How understanding yourself contributes to healthier leadership and stronger communities.
Why living in alignment isn't selfish—it's essential.

Memorable Quotes
"When you know who you are, you can't be shaken the way you are when you're second-guessing yourself."
"If you want to change the world, start with yourself."
"Stop outsourcing knowing and start living from deeper wisdom—from the inside out."

Legacy Over Speed: Building a Business That Lasts with Jody & Morgan Thelander
16/07/2026 | 45 mins.
What does it actually take to build a company people trust for decades?
In this episode, I sit down with Jody Thelander, Founder & CEO of J. Thelander Consulting, and her daughter and COO, Morgan Thelander, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, legacy, leadership, family business, and the discipline of building something that lasts.
Jody shares how a difficult season of life—including divorce and raising two young children—became the catalyst for creating one of the most trusted compensation intelligence firms in private markets. Morgan discusses joining the company, modernizing the business, embracing media, AI, and technology, and preparing to become the fourth generation in a remarkable entrepreneurial family story.
Together, we explore what happens when mastery, integrity, and long-term thinking become the foundation of everything you build.
In this episode:
Why the long game is still the only game worth playing.
Turning adversity into entrepreneurial opportunity.
Building trust as your greatest competitive advantage.
Why shortcuts always cost more in the end.
Creating a brand people recognize long before they see the logo.
Navigating the unique challenges of working with family.
Setting healthy boundaries between business and home.
Why visibility matters even for highly technical businesses.
Using AI to enhance—not replace—human expertise.
Why showing up in person has become a competitive advantage.
Building a business worthy of becoming a legacy.

Memorable Quotes
"Who better than me?"
"Mastery is rarely about doing more. It is about refusing to lower the standard."
