Ep. 339 - How to Stop Burnout & Perfectionism and Start Manifesting with Ease

“It works out for other people, but not for me.” “There’s too much standing in my way to even start.” “I’ve done everything, so why don’t I feel amazing? “ “I should settle for this. It’s supposed to make me happy.”

If any of this sounds familiar, this episode is going to rock you out of your rut and into a new mindset. One of abundance, freedom, and peace. Today we are joined by Coach Keren who helps break down the manifestation struggles unique to high achievers.

Keren Eldad is an author, speaker and executive coach to high performers including Olympic athletes, politicians, Hollywood stars, supermodels, Special Forces operatives and serial entrepreneurs, and today Keren shares her story of extreme perceived “success” in all facets of life: a dreamy house, an executive suite at a high-paying job, and a marriage that looked picture-perfect. And yet all of these shiny achievements were disconnected to her truth and authenticity, which ultimately led to her rock bottom. Together Coach Keren and Jessica unpack the hidden traps of perfectionism, control, and overwork that sabotage manifestations. She talks about learning how to deeply surrender, trust, and realign with her true soul desires. Whether you’re feeling restless in your current reality or forcing outcomes that won’t stick, this episode is your guide to breaking free from the gilded cage and stepping into true abundance.

– Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
– Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self
