Welcome to the Jasmine Star Show and boy are we in for a treat today because here's one thing,

if you've been watching the show for a while, you know I don't bring on repeat guests unless,

unless they are just so good and unless I've heard from you. I read every single DM, I read my

own emails and I get to know who's actually connecting and who's connective.

Those are two separate things.

Connecting means, ooh, this hit me.

Connective means I actually want to get up close to this person.

Now, the person who I'm about to introduce you to, she's coming back on the podcast.

And the reason she's coming back on the podcast. And the reason she's coming back on the podcast

is because since her first conversation with me to today, I started noticing patterns. And patterns

of the people who I am attracting into my orbit are number one, high achievers. Number two,

perfectionist. And number three, for people on the outside, people look at them and they're like,

ooh, they are special. Ooh, they're doing something good. And they themselves don't necessarily

see themselves in the same light. So it is with that extreme honor and pleasure that I am

excited to invite back. Karen Eldad, thank you for being on the Jasmine Star Show. Thank you,

Infinity for having me back. It's an honor and a pleasure to you back and serve the audience.

I am so, I'm very, very, very happy.

And what the audience doesn't know is that you, being the recovering type A, you arrived early.

Unbeknownst to me, you were able to sit outside of the studio door.

And you got to hear a podcast episode where I broke down a ton of things that was happening in quarter one and you're like, oh, Jasmine, I walked out and I said, Karen, you're here. And you're like, boy, did I hear a lot. I was like, oh, no, oh no. Because Karen is that you're like a master of puzzler. You get different pieces that seem to spirit and then you interweave them through a whole theme. And so I have my

notes. Because Karen is that you're like a master of puzzler. You get different pieces that seem disparate, and then you interweave them through a whole theme. And so I have my notes, but we're going to take this wherever I believe you know we need to go. But first and foremost, I want to frame it. Your message is for high achievers who live successful lives on the outside but feel different on the inside. Can you expand there for a second? Because people are like,

well, I'm not sure that that's exactly me. So most people who came to read my first book, Gilded, felt exactly that way. I don't feel like this is me. And then they read the first few pages. I heard this again and again and again from readers. And they said, oh no, it's me. Here's the deal. Most of us do not really see ourselves as classic overachievers.
