Jenna Zoe: Human Design, Self-Trust, and the Courage to Become Who You Are
18/06/2026 | 46 mins.
This week on COACHED, Keren sits down with Jenna Zoe, creator of My Human Design, founder of the Align App, bestselling author, and one of the leading voices responsible for bringing Human Design into the mainstream conversation. What follows is not simply a discussion about Human Design. https://coached-with-coach-keren.captivate.fm/gilt-free-ditching-your-gilded-cage-for-good It is a conversation about authenticity, intuition, self-trust, and the hidden cost of spending years trying to become someone you were never meant to be. Together, Keren and Jenna explore why so many ambitious people find themselves successful on paper yet disconnected in practice, why force is often mistaken for discipline, and why true fulfillment begins when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start learning who we actually are. Jenna shares the story of her own journey—from atheist science student to spiritual seeker, from Kabbalah student to Human Design pioneer—and explains why understanding your energetic blueprint can become a practical roadmap for making decisions, navigating uncertainty, and creating a life that feels deeply aligned. Whether Human Design is completely new to you or already part of your vocabulary, this episode offers a powerful reminder that the goal of personal growth may not be becoming more. It may be becoming truer. In This Episode Jenna's journey from science-minded skeptic to spiritual teacher The Kabbalah teachings that transformed her understanding of life The Human Design reading that changed everything Why obsession is often a clue to purpose The difference between success and aliveness The five Human Design energy types and what they reveal How conditioning pulls us away from our authentic nature Why self-understanding is the foundation of self-love The hidden danger of forcing outcomes How to navigate uncertainty without panic The paradigm shift Jenna believes humanity is currently experiencing Why intuition is often more trustworthy than logic The ultimate manifestation: becoming someone you love being

Natalie Ellis: The Truth About Building a Freedom-Based Business
11/06/2026 | 40 mins.
What happens when you achieve everything you thought you wanted - and discover you're still not free? This week on Coached, I sit down with entrepreneur, speaker, bestselling author, and BossBabe founder Natalie Ellis for one of the most honest conversations I've had about ambition, success, motherhood, and the very, very high cost so many of us pay in pursuit of them all. https://coached-with-coach-keren.captivate.fm/gilt-free-ditching-your-gilded-cage-for-good Natalie built one of the largest communities for female entrepreneurs in the world. From the outside, she had everything: a thriving business, millions of followers, financial success, a beautiful family, and a life many people dream about. Then she found herself sitting on her bathroom floor at 2 a.m., exhausted, anxious, and questioning everything. In this conversation, Natalie shares the moment that changed the trajectory of her life and business, the painful process of stepping away from what she had built, and how she ultimately returned to create something far more aligned. We discuss: Why success without freedom eventually becomes a trap The hidden cost of building a business around other people's definitions of achievement How postpartum anxiety and burnout became an unexpected catalyst for transformation Why defining your personal "enough number" changes everything The danger of lifestyle creep Freedom versus financial security The role motherhood played in reshaping Natalie's priorities How to stop making decisions from FOMO The systems every entrepreneur needs to create a freedom-based business Why one offer often beats many offers What alignment actually looks like in practice How to identify the part of your business you should never delegate
Natalie offers us a powerful reminder: Freedom isn't something you earn after success. Freedom is something you must build into success from the beginning.

Derek Gaunt: The Negotiation Secrets That Transform Relationships, Leadership, and Life
04/06/2026 | 50 mins.
"Everything makes sense when you have enough data." Former FBI hostage negotiator Derek Gaunt explains why the best negotiators aren't persuasive—they're curious. Learn the five levels of listening, the power of dynamic silence, and how to uncover the hidden information that changes everything. https://coached-with-coach-keren.captivate.fm/gilt-free-ditching-your-gilded-cage-for-good What if the secret to influence wasn't persuasion? What if it was understanding? In this fascinating episode of Coached, Keren sits down with Derek Gaunt—former hostage negotiator, senior coach at The Black Swan Group, and co-author of Fight Less, Win More—to explore the psychology of communication, negotiation, and human connection. Drawing on nearly three decades in law enforcement and years training leaders around the world alongside Chris Voss and The Black Swan Group, Derek reveals why the best negotiators aren't the most persuasive people in the room—they're the most curious. Together, Keren and Derek discuss: How Derek went from street cop to hostage negotiator The lessons he learned negotiating with people in crisis Why every conversation is a negotiation The biggest mistake people make in difficult conversations The Five Levels of Listening Why most people aren't actually listening The power of labels and mirrors How to use Dynamic Silence to transform communication The hidden psychology behind conflict What a "Black Swan" is and how it can completely change an outcome Why curiosity beats certainty How great negotiators build trust without sacrificing results The myth of win-win negotiation Why empathy is one of the most powerful leadership skills in the world

Coach Keren Eldad's Books Gilded Gilt Free
Sneak Peek: Gilt Free, Chapter 1 - "Debunking the Great Folly"
21/05/2026 | 28 mins.
In this very special episode of Coached, host Coach Keren Eldad shares something she's never done before: the complete first chapter of her brand new book, Gilt Free: Ditching Your Gilded Cage for Good. This isn't a summary. This isn't a teaser clip. This is the real beginning. Chapter 1, "Debunking the Great Folly," is the moment where everything starts to shift - where we finally tell the truth about what isn't working and begin to understand why. If you've ever felt the quiet friction of a life that looks successful on paper but doesn't quite feel like yours, this chapter was written for you.
In This Episode The Gilded Cage revisited - Keren's first book, GILDED, named the phenomenon: a life that looks good but doesn't feel good – and was about breaking free of that “gilded cage” resulting from a life of Ambition, Perfectionism and a Relentless Pursuit. Gilt Free answers the harder question: how do you actually STAY out? Chapter 1 in full - "Debunking the Great Folly," read by Coach Keren, unedited and unabridged The questions at the heart of this work: Why do I stop circling the same patterns, even when I "know better"? How do I begin to identify what is happening – so I can stop rebuilding shinier versions of the same cage? Why should I aim at building a life that not only looks good - but feels genuine? What’s the payoff?
About the Book Gilt Free: Ditching Your Gilded Cage for Good is Coach Keren Eldad's second book - and a direct answer to the question her highest-performing clients have been asking for years. It's not about insight alone. It's about transformation: releasing the patterns, identities, and attachments that keep you circling — and stepping into a way of operating that is grounded, open, alive, and deeply self-trusting.
