Welcome back, product bosses! In this episode, I’m sitting down with Keren Eldad, my friend and the author of Gilded, to explore her journey to becoming a coach for high achievers. We dive into the concept of the “gilded cage”—that polished, outward success that often hides internal struggles. 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. She reminds us that fulfillment isn’t about accomplishments but about how we feel in our day-to-day lives. And we talk about why building real connections is essential, especially when the entrepreneurial journey feels isolating.
This conversation is packed with practical insights and encouragement. You’ll hear why your best client is often a former version of yourself, why balance is a myth, and how blending your life and work can create real fulfillment. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re chasing a moving target, this episode is for you. Let’s dig in!
