Let’s talk about the unspoken epidemic hitting high achievers: perfectionism, scarcity thinking, and the belief that our worth is tied to hustle.

In this episode of the Jasmine Star Show, I sit down with powerhouse coach and recovering perfectionist Keren Eldad—and y’all, it’s the permission slip we didn’t know we needed.

Keren has coached world leaders, Olympians, and 8-figure entrepreneurs, and guess what they all battle? The fear of not being enough.

We unpack the adversarial mindset that equates pressure with performance—and explore how ease can be your edge.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for resting, obsessed over “getting it right,” or mistaken anxiety for ambition… this one’s for you.

Keren doesn’t just drop gems—she drops frameworks. Tune in to rewire your patterns and lead with clarity, not chaos.
