Summary
If you’re succeeding on paper but feeling flat, wired, or quietly exhausted, this episode will land. Executive coach and spiritual teacher Keren Eldad joins me for a conversation that cuts through the noise and gets to the real root of burnout. We talk about the relentless pursuit of “more,” the hidden cost of being a high performer, and why peace and purpose start with better questions, not bigger goals.
Keren blends psychology, Kabbalah, and grounded compassion to help you dismantle sloppy thinking and come home to yourself. You’ll learn how to begin self-inquiry without overwhelm, why self-compassion has to come before growth, what Tikkun really means, and what to do when you’re in a dark place. We also explore soulmates, redefining success from the inside out, and the simple daily practices that keep you anchored. Press play, and let this one shift something deep.
