What if your success is the very thing keeping you stuck in love?

In this episode of the Love U Podcast, I sit down with Keren Eldad—executive coach, TED speaker, and author of The Gilded Cage—to explore how high-achieving women accidentally sabotage their happiness. We dive into the costs of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and chasing external validation, and how these patterns show up in relationships. Keren shares her story of breaking free from an abusive marriage and finding clarity around what real love looks like. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still missing the relationship you deserve, this powerful episode will help you see things differently.
