Ever feel like you’re checking all the boxes—career, relationships, success—yet still feel restless, anxious, or unfulfilled? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy Valentine sits down with internationally renowned executive coach Keren Eldad (aka Coach Keren) to uncover why so many high achievers get stuck in the cycle of perfectionism, burnout, and “the gilded cage”—and how to finally break free.

With clients ranging from Olympians to CEOs to Hollywood stars, Keren has seen firsthand how even the most accomplished people can feel trapped by unrealistic expectations, cultural pressures, and their own inner critics. Together, Wendy and Keren dive into what causes this relentless pursuit of “more,” why breakdowns often lead to breakthroughs, and how embracing imperfection can lead to greater peace, freedom, and fulfillment.

Whether you’re a recovering perfectionist, a chronic overachiever, or simply craving a life that feels good from the inside out, this conversation will help you release what’s holding you back and start designing a life on your own terms.

Is it possible you’ve had ADHD your entire life and just didn’t know it? You’re not alone. In this eye-opening episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, Wendy chats with Kate Moryoussef, host of the award-winning ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast, EFT practitioner, and author of The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Toolkit. After being diagnosed with ADHD at 40, Kate embarked on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and advocacy for women navigating late-in-life diagnoses.
