    Annalie Howling: The Cure for Shame Is Self-Compassion

    What if the exhaustion, perfectionism, people-pleasing, burnout, and imposter syndrome you have spent years trying to fix are not actually the problem? What if they are symptoms of something deeper? In this deeply moving conversation, Coach Keren sits down with coach, speaker, and author Annalie Howling to explore the hidden force that drives so many high achievers: shame. Annalie shares her extraordinary personal journey from a violent childhood, chronic self-doubt, and self-harm to becoming one of the leading voices on shame, trauma, and healing. Together, they unpack why achievement can never heal unworthiness, why burnout is often a wake-up call rather than a failure, and how self-compassion becomes the antidote to the belief that we are somehow not enough. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not about becoming someone else. It is about finally coming home to yourself. In This Episode Why high achievement often becomes a strategy for outrunning shameThe critical difference between guilt and shameHow childhood experiences shape adult identity and self-worthBurnout as a symptom of living out of alignmentWhy perfectionism and people-pleasing are survival mechanismsUnderstanding imposter syndrome through the lens of shameHow Annalie transformed her relationship with her inner criticThe role of EMDR and trauma healing in lasting transformationWhy receiving compliments feels uncomfortable for so many peopleThe connection between self-compassion and true freedomHow to begin healing shame one small act of self-kindness at a time Memorable Quotes "I wasn't intolerant to gluten. I was intolerant to my life." "Shame is always an 'I am' statement." "The imposter's job is to police our shame from ever being discovered." "There is a cure for shame, and it is self-compassion." "Start by learning about yourself. Then liking yourself. Then loving yourself."

    Remembering Dr. Carolyn Elliott: Existential Kink and Shadow Work

    This episode has become far more meaningful than I could have imagined when we recorded it. Carolyn Elliott was one of the most original thinkers I have ever had the privilege of knowing. Brilliant, provocative, funny, and relentlessly committed to truth, she challenged thousands of people to question not only what they wanted from life- but why they remained attached to the very patterns they claimed to want to escape. Tragically, Carolyn passed away shortly after this conversation. I later learned that this was the last podcast interview she ever recorded. I cannot think of a more fitting way to honor her than to share her voice, her wisdom, and her extraordinary mind with all of you once again. In this profound and deeply philosophical conversation, Carolyn and I explore shadow work, suffering, individuation, spirituality, power, and the unconscious forces that quietly shape our lives. Carolyn—bestselling author of Existential Kink and founder of Immortal College—shares the personal experiences that led her to develop one of the most challenging and liberating frameworks in modern personal development: the possibility that some unconscious part of us may actually be invested in the very circumstances we consciously wish would disappear. Together, we discuss why high achievers become trapped in recurring cycles, why healing cannot be another performance, and how lasting transformation begins when we are finally willing to tell ourselves the truth. In this episode: What "Existential Kink" actually meansWhy the unconscious creates recurring life patternsThe hidden pleasure inside suffering, struggle, and martyrdomCarolyn's journey through addiction, recovery, and depth psychologyWhy spirituality can become another achievement identityThe difference between performative healing and genuine integrationThe role of humility, groundedness, and radical honestyCarl Jung's influence on Carolyn's workThe relationship between suffering, awakening, and individuationWhy freedom begins when we embrace the parts of ourselves we've spent our lives avoiding Books Mentioned in this episode: Carolyn Elliott → Existential Kink — Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Existential-Kink-Unmask-Embrace-getting/dp/1578636477→ https://existentialkink.com/→ https://theimmortalcollege.com/ If Carolyn's ideas move you as deeply as they moved me, I hope you'll read her books, share her work, and continue the conversations she devoted her life to having. Her voice may be gone, but her ideas—and the courage with which she shared them—will continue to change lives for many years to come. May her memory be a blessing.

    From Ranch Life to Reinvention: Building a Beautiful Life Without Compromise | Lee Evans

    What happens when the life you've built works perfectly—but no longer feels like you? This week on COACHED, I sit down with entrepreneur, designer, cancer survivor, and founder of Mrs. Momma Bear, Lee Evans, for one of the most inspiring conversations we've had about reinvention, identity, courage, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks. Reserve your spot for Coach Keren's VIP Day 2026 in Austin: https://kereneldad.com/vipday2026/ Raised on a West Texas ranch, Lee learned resilience before most children learned multiplication. She later built a successful career in healthcare before quietly walking away to create an entirely new business—one inspired by beauty, functionality, and removing unnecessary friction from women's lives. We explore what it means to protect a dream before sharing it with the world, why surviving breast cancer transformed the way she leads, mothers, and loves, and why true freedom comes not from abandoning who you are—but integrating every part of yourself. One of my favorite lessons from our conversation? "Wear life like a loose garment." This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of a career pivot, craving more alignment, or wondering whether it's too late to become who they were always meant to be. In this episode, we discuss: Growing up on a fifth-generation Texas ranch and how resilience is cultivatedWhy practical success isn't always personal fulfillmentLeaving healthcare to build an entirely new companyThe importance of protecting your dream before sharing itHow to know when an idea is truly "the one"Entrepreneurship, patience, and trusting divine timingWhat surviving breast cancer taught Lee about receiving loveMotherhood, vulnerability, and courageous conversationsWhy leadership requires more compassion than controlThe power of integrating every part of yourself instead of choosing between identitiesCreating beauty while reducing friction in everyday life Memorable Quotes "A life can work perfectly and still not feel like yours." "Some dreams need incubation before they need an audience." "Wear life like a loose garment." "Freedom isn't becoming someone else. It's allowing all of who you already are to exist."

    Courtney Johnson: The Career Advice No One Is Giving You (That Will Actually Get You Your Dream Career)

    What if the biggest obstacle to your next chapter isn't your résumé... but your identity? As in, who you believe you are? In this extraordinary conversation, Coach Keren sits down with personal branding strategist, entrepreneur, and Career Cheat Codes author Courtney Johnson to unpack what really creates extraordinary careers and why so many brilliant people stay invisible. Together, they explore why strategy is rarely the problem, why authenticity has become the greatest competitive advantage in the age of AI, and why the future belongs to people willing to build lives around purpose instead of permission.
