Are you constantly chasing the next big achievement, but still feeling unfulfilled? You’re not alone. This week, we’re diving into the concept of empty ambition—that relentless pursuit of success that often leaves high achievers burnt out, anxious, and wondering, “Is this all there is?”
Our guest, Keren Eldad, executive coach, TEDx speaker, and the author of Gilded: Breaking Free from the Cage of Ambition, Perfectionism, and the Relentless Pursuit of More joins us to unpack why so many high-achieving women get stuck in a cycle of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and loss aversion — and how to break free.
