In this episode, I sit down with executive coach and author Keren Eldad to explore how the same perfectionism and overachievement that drive success can also sabotage our relationships. We discuss the trap of seeking external validation in dating, how people-pleasing can lead to unfulfilling connections, and why high achievers often struggle with vulnerability and intimacy. Keren shares powerful insights on breaking free from the need to "perform" in love, embracing authenticity, and building relationships that feel as good as they look on paper. If you've ever felt like you're chasing an ideal in dating rather than real connection, this conversation is for you.
