    Who Are You Without the Pressure? with Kate Northrup

    What if the pressure you believe is responsible for your success… isn't? In this episode of COACHED, Coach Keren sits down with bestselling author and entrepreneur Kate Northrup, whose groundbreaking books Money: A Love Story and Do Less have challenged conventional thinking about money, productivity, ambition and what it actually means to prosper. At the center of the conversation is a deceptively simple question: Who are you without the pressure? Kate shares the intensely personal season that forced her to answer it. While supporting her husband through serious health challenges, raising two young daughters, carrying enormous financial responsibility and running a multi-seven-figure business, Kate discovered that stress wasn't merely something she was experiencing. It had become her fuel. When a therapist asked her to imagine that all of her financial pressure suddenly disappeared, Kate expected relief. Instead, she felt flat — almost dead inside. The realization was startling: she had become so accustomed to pressure, productivity and hypervigilance that ease itself felt unsafe. What followed was a radical 90-day experiment in doing less. No new offers. No unnecessary campaigns. No compulsive over-delivering. Kate simply fulfilled the commitments she had already made while learning not to turn every moment of fear into more activity. The result? She hit her financial goals anyway. Together, Kate and Keren explore what happens when high achievement becomes a socially celebrated stress response — and what becomes possible when we learn to create from safety, inspiration and genuine desire instead. In This Episode, We Explore:Why money is not only a mindset conversation — it's a body and nervous-system conversationHow financial, productivity and achievement pressure can masquerade as ambitionKate's realization that she had become addicted to stress and pressureWhy over-functioning can be a socially rewarded fight-or-flight responseThe 90-day experiment that taught Kate that pressure was not required for financial successWhy periods of rest and reduced output can function like allowing soil to lie fallowThe difference between doing less and doing nothingWhy high achievers can become frightened by ease, stability and "cruising altitude"How to distinguish healthy ambition from hypervigilanceThe difference between creating for approval and creating because something genuinely wants to be expressedProductivity versus worthinessHow scarcity and comparison affect the nervous systemWhy another person's success does not have to register as a threatWhat it means to cultivate an internal experience of safety, support and enoughness Connect With KateWebsite: katenorthrup.com Social: @KateNorthrup Podcast: Plenty Books: Money: A Love Story and Do Less Kate also recommends beginning with her free Money Reset - https://katenorthrup.com/reset/, an audio journey exploring financial pressure and nervous-system regulation.

    When Success No Longer Fits: Lacey Newman on Reinvention, Boundaries & Raising Your Standards

    What happens when the thing you worked so hard to build… works — but you no longer want the life that comes with it? Lacey Newman knows. A former top 1% real estate team leader and host of an Emmy-nominated television show, Lacey built the kind of career most people would be terrified to walk away from. But behind the success was a business that required her to be constantly available, constantly reactive, and increasingly disconnected from the way she actually wanted to live. So she did something most people struggle to do: she left while it was still working. In this episode of COACHED, Lacey and I talk about what it really takes to outgrow a successful identity, why major pivots are rarely clean or comfortable, and how she learned to stop putting clients above herself and start building a business around her actual life. We also get into the particular reckoning that often happens in midlife, when the question changes from Can I succeed? to: Do I actually want the life my success has created? And perhaps most importantly, we talk about why the next level for highly capable women often requires subtraction, not addition. Because if you have spent your life being the woman who can handle everything, the answer may not be becoming even more capable. It may be finally deciding what you are no longer willing to carry. IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS:Why walking away from something successful can be harder than walking away from failureThe hidden personal cost of being available to clients 24/7Why boundaries can actually make you better at what you doThe difference between serving your clients and putting yourself beneath themWhy you do not have to burn your old life to the ground in order to build a new oneWhat Lacey calls “the ick” — and why your body may recognize misalignment before your mind is ready to admit itThe messy reality of changing identities and careersWhy midlife is such a powerful period of individuation and reinventionWhy authenticity matters more, not less, in the age of AIThe danger of becoming addicted to being “the most capable woman in the room”Why overwhelmed women often need to remove responsibilities rather than add another strategyThe difference between changing your strategy and raising your standardsWhy Lacey believes creativity cannot be outsourcedThe deeper purpose behind the book she hopes to write next Connect with Lacey Newman: https://laceynewman.com/ Lacey’s free workshop, AI for Ambitious Women, is on August 25th.

    What Actually Makes a Great Coach? with Carrie Fabris

    Ever heard someone say, “You give such good advice. You should be a coach”? Not so fast. Because coaching — real coaching — isn't about dispensing good advice. It is a discipline requiring training, practice, listening, discernment, and the ability to ask the right question rather than simply offer your opinion. And excellent coaching requires something considerably harder to put on a website: You have to do your own work. In this episode of The COACHED Podcast: Coaching Masters, Coach Keren sits down with executive and leadership coach Carrie Fabris, founder of CareerFrame and author of ALL IN: A Working Mom’s Unapologetic Quest for a Juicy Life, to examine what actually makes a great coach. Carrie and Keren share analogous paths into the profession: substantial corporate careers, rigorous training and accreditation, and the eventual realization that credentials and experience alone are not enough. Carrie candidly shares why her first attempt at building CareerFrame failed, how ego, fear, imposter syndrome, inherited beliefs, and her own unexamined material followed her into her work, and why she ultimately had to go inward before she could successfully go outward again. Today, Carrie describes excellent coaching as learning how to “read the human” in front of you: listening carefully, noticing what changes in their face, hearing what they are saying and what they are avoiding, and asking the right question rather than the impressive-sounding one. Because you cannot take another human being somewhere you are unwilling to go yourself. In this conversation: Why giving great advice does not make someone a great coachWhy coaching is a discipline — not simply a personality traitWhat real corporate experience brings to executive coachingWhy Carrie's first attempt at CareerFrame didn't workThe difference between ego-driven ambition and genuine alignmentWhy Carrie returned to corporate — and eventually realized she couldn't stay there eitherFear, imposter syndrome, inherited beliefs, and the inner work that changed her trajectoryWhy credentials, frameworks, and assessments matter — but aren't enoughWhat it means to truly “read the human” you're coachingWhy great coaches listen instead of rushing to adviseThe difference between asking a question and asking the right questionWhy a coach's own unexamined material inevitably enters the roomThe essential truth at the heart of great coaching: you have to do your own work CONNECT WITH CARRIE Learn more about Carrie and CareerFrame: CareerFrame Read ALL IN: A Working Mom’s Unapologetic Quest for a Juicy Life: Get ALL IN Follow Carrie on Instagram: @cdfabris ABOUT COACHING MASTERS Coaching Masters is a series from The COACHED Podcast devoted to positioning coaching as the serious profession it is by examining what excellent coaching actually looks like, what qualifies someone to do this work, and what those entrusted with another person's growth owe to the human being sitting across from them.

    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.
