This is the final episode of this series on the Midlife Awakening, recapping the lessons and the many principles we covered in the series. It's titled: "Your New Life Is Going to Cost You Your Old One" - which should already give you a glimpse of what to expect. You will see that though your reckoning with this life stage will (100%) involve real grief, that it will also be well worth it.
I hope that this series will help you to navigate your mid-life shift or any other challenges you might be facing. Let our team know how you loved the series by leaving us a 5 star review, subscribing, or commenting/ emailing us back.
This season was truly a labor of love, inspired by my new TEDx Talk: Pray for a Midlife Awakening, and my way of sharing with you the joy and wonder I have found in this phase.

Are you feeling un-empowered because the dreams of your younger self have not been achieved?
Itâs not too late â YOU get to choose how you live the second half of your life. The world is still your oyster but this time around you have the wisdom that comes with age. When you pair your wisdom with your dreams â you will be unstoppable!
In the eighth episode of the Coached Podcastâs new season, Coach Keren is joined by the impressive Jade Sheppard to answer YOUR questions on the midlife shift. Jade is the President, Owner of Gideon USA, Malibu Popoyo, Scarlet Society, and Fermenteria. Not only is she a serial entrepreneur, but Jade is also the mother of three and a bona-fide adrenaline junkie.
Together, Keren and Jade dive into what a midlife shift means and looks like through the lens of awakening, excitement and eagerness for more - as they answer callerâs questions. You will not want to miss this one.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[02:32] Keren defines the midlife crisis as the loss of our identity, revealed often through a change in physical circumstances, and notes that at this halfway point in life, people tend to re-evaluate their lives. [05:25] Keren introduces a book by author James Hollis â The Midlife Passage from Misery to Meaning in Midlife. She quotes a powerful passage from the book: âif we realize that the assumptions by which the person has lived his or her life are collapsing, that the assembled strategies of the provisional personality are de-compensating, that a worldview is falling apart, then the thrashing about is understandable. [07:08] Keren introduces Jade Sheppard, who talks about her new business Scarlet Society, and their goal: to normalize womenâs sexual health and wellness after 40. Jade created this company following her divorce when she felt unsupported and uninspired by what was out there in the market for women's sexuality in the second half of their lives [14:46] Jade discusses how she found her midlife crisis to be an awakening - more of a blessing than something negative, setting the tone for the discussion with callers. [16:53] We hear from the first caller, Cindy, who feels sad because none of her dreams have been fulfilled. [22:10] Keren and Jade answer Cindyâs question, and encourage Cindy to live her life for HER, giving suggestions on how to take one step at a time towards her goals which will yet be fulfilled. [25:43] Our second caller, Lila, explains that she has gone back to work and now that she is earning an income she has had a shift in her marriage dynamic. Her husband is not being supportive and has been treating her poorly, making her unhappy. She is wondering if this is a midlife shift. [28:58]Jade encourages Lila to take a deeper look, to dive deeper and see if the belittling and berating have been going on for longer than she has noticed. She asks Lila a powerful question â âif this was your child going through this situation, what would YOU tell her to doâ [29:27] Keren asks Lila another powerful, thought-provoking question, âWhat would you do if you were not afraid?â. She explains that there is a certain level of fear that will keep us entrapped in a situation that may not be serving us, and that heeding that question may clarify for Lila what needs to be done.KEY TAKEAWAYS:
It is common for people to re-evaluate their lives at midlife, and this reckoning may give way to make dramatic changes if one ends up placing the blame on their career or spouse, etc instead of going inward. The reckoning may shift your relationship with yourself for the better, but otherwise, your age doesnât define your life. As long as you are alive and healthy, there is still time to accomplish your goals and life aspirations. If you are feeling stuck or unhappy in a situation, but are afraid of change, it is essential to ask yourself âwhere is the fear coming from?â Once you identify it, ask yourself, âwhat would I do if fear wasnât a factor?â That is the power of seeking clarity internally first.LINKS:

In the seventh episode of the Coached Podcastâs new season, Coach Keren is joined by guest host Greg Scheinman for the second time to answer YOUR questions on the midlife shift. Greg is a Performance Coach, Speaker, Author & Creator of The Midlife Male Podcast & Newsletter.
Today, Greg and Keren thoughtfully advise two callers who are wondering if they are too old to find love, or too old to find their lifeâs purpose. They give insightful answers and suggestions on how to love ourselves, how to turn inward, and how to create a life of fulfillment and meaning. When you start doing things that light you up daily you will be living a life of purpose â cumulatively.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[03:36] Keren discusses how the midlife shift can be compared to adolescence â and how you can turn stagnation and purposelessness into healing. [04:03] Keren welcomes Greg Sheinman back to the show â they recap the last episode and discuss the vulnerable and relatable questions from the previous callers [07:15] The first caller, Breanna, opens up about how first of all she loves herself, but second of all, she is feeling self-doubt because her boyfriend broke up with her for a younger woman. She wants to know how to feel empowered in this situation. [11:51] Keren empowers Breanna and validates her feelings by telling her, â love yourself enough to understand that he is not for you because he is not appreciating all the magnificence of you. There are no deal breakers in real love.â [18:34] The second caller Mattius talks about the anxiety of finding his purpose at 46. Greg explains that the secret is to live positively. Not everyone has a âcallingâ, but doing things that we enjoy or things that make us feel good daily will add up cumulatively to create a life of fulfillment. [23:58] Keren discusses the word: âpurpose.â Purpose is doing anything that creates fulfillment and meaning. Flow is anything that you are doing that makes you lose all sense of time. [25:50] Keren gives tips on how to find out what lights you up, what you are obsessed with, and what will help you to live a happy life full of purpose.KEY TAKEAWAYS:
The Midlife crisis can be compared to adolescence in that it can be a turbulent time with acting out, extreme behaviors, and rage against change â instead we should be turning inward, processing what is happening, and evolving. When you love yourself and live your life being honest and true to yourself â you will find a partner suited perfectly to you. There is no time frame for finding love, you can find who is perfect for you at 42 or 60. Your age doesnât have to dictate who or how you are â you can be an old 40-year-old or a young 60 year old; it is all in the way you carry yourself. How you live, how you operate, and how you execute. Is there vibrance in your face, in your eyes, in your body? How you live is up to you. If day in and day out, you start choosing the things that light you up from inside that you're obsessed with, that you would do if nobody paid you, you will certainly be living a life of purpose.LINKS:

Have you stopped trying to achieve your goals because you think youâve missed the window? Spoiler alert - there is no window! It is never too late to be the best version of yourself!
In the sixth episode of the Coached Podcastâs new season, Coach Keren is joined by guest host Greg Scheinman to answer YOUR questions on the midlife shift. Greg is a Performance Coach, Speaker, Author & Creator of The Midlife Male Podcast & Newsletter.
Together, Greg and Keren use their life experiences to weigh in on the vulnerable questions asked by todayâs callers. Todayâs episode focuses on aging, but contrary to popular belief, aging doesnât have to be something we dread â it can be something to look forward to if you embrace the changes with love and see each day as an opportunity.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[00:00:26] Keren introduces the topic of change, and how it can be extremely hard for people to accept [00:05:24] Keren discusses a psychoanalystâs description of the midlife crisis. The midlife crisis is a spiritual crisis, a profound inflection point in our life that has 5 stages of development: Accommodation, separation, liminality, reintegration, and individuation [00:07:45] Keren welcomes Greg to the show. Greg introduces us to his book that came out Nov 1, 2022, called: âThe Midlife Male: A No-Bullshit Guide to Living Better, Longer, Happier, Healthier, and Wealthier and Having More Fun in Your 40s and 50s (Which Includes More Sex ... and What Guy Doesn't Want That?) [00:15:17] Keren and Greg hear from the first caller, Tim. Tim confides in the pair that he feels self-conscious about his physical changes since turning 40. [00:24:19] Greg discusses being consistent with small positive changes, and that over time those cumulative changes will add up to success. [00:30:41] Keren and Greg hear from Caroline; she courageously confides about wondering if there is more to life and, she feels like she is too far behind to ever catch up. [00:41:58] Keren gives Caroline advice on her issue, she urges her to listen to the whisper. She tells Caroline to go on an inner journey, to find out who she is and why sheâs done what sheâs done, and also why she wants what she wants.KEY TAKEAWAYS:
It is never too late to live the life of your dreams on your terms Middle age happens to everyone â it is involuntary but if you embrace the change it can be beautiful and empowering Make small changes every day (ex. walking every day for 30 minutes) all your small changes will add up like compound interest to make a big beneficial difference Even if it seems hard, you must keep moving forward because regret is poison, and it will not get you anywhere. Keep looking forward with enthusiasm!LINKS:

What if your life looks perfect on the outside, but on the inside you just want MORE?
On the fifth episode of the Coached Podcastâs new season, Coach Keren is joined once again by guest host and superstar coach Christopher Chandler to answer YOUR questions on the midlife shift - and within this context, about the question of all questions: what is my lifeâs purpose?
Together, Chris and Keren passionately advise a caller who is feeling resentful and suffocated with her life, even though her life looks perfect on the outside and relay the very steps each of them has taken to unleash their true passion and next passion in life - and what YOU can do, too, for the magic to unfold in your life.
In the episode, above all the case is made that suppressing your desires will take a lot more energy than it would take to live honestly and authentically, honoring your desires and honoring your purpose. If this sounds like it might be just what you need today, we hope youâll tune in.
IN THIS EPISODE:
[00:02:50] Keren and Christopher revisit episode 4, and discuss the key takeaways from that last episode, touching on happiness and satisfaction. [00:06:22] Personal agency: what is it - and how do we get it? [00:09:29] The hosts take the first call, from Danny, in California, who is struggling with a feeling of purposelessness. [00:10:21] Chris and Keren discuss: Why is being honest with ourselves so hard? And how does NOT being honest with ourselves result in a feeling of purposelessness? [00:16:44] Keren and Chris demonstrate how to dig deeper so you can find out what is keeping you out of alignment with your purpose. [00:20:04] In closing, Keren posits that you are right to be scared of asking for more, because your new life may cost you your old one. But, though it may be scary, leaning into a life of meaning and into your calling is always worth it.KEY TAKEAWAYS:
To change our lives into the life we are dreaming of we must first be completely honest with ourselves. This is much easier said than done. It might be easier to leave well enough alone. But if you are not living your life honestly - living your life the way YOU want to live it - it will a lot more effort to hold up the farce than it will be to live honestly and authentically In âgoing for it,â you will find that your new life may cost you your old one. Still: be honest, be truthful, be real, and be genuine. And ask yourself, âWhat makes you happy? And âwhat gets you excited?âLINKS:

[04:46] Chris shares the grief experience that shifted the trajectory of his lifeâs path. [07:41] Keren introduces the first question from Dev, an author who just published her book. Devâs question is: why doesnât she feel happy and satisfied now that she has reached an awesome goal? [08:46] Christopher defines trauma regarding life experiences: âtrauma is simply an experience you had where you didn't have the coping skills to truly express how you're feelingâ [17:03] Keren welcomes the second question from Kara who has called in asking for advice on how to make a big life change though it may come with the cost of upending her existing circumstances.KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Trauma doesnât necessarily happen surrounding grief, it can be caused by everyday experiences if you donât have the tools to cope with the situation. You have everything you need, and life is urgent. Donât wait until tomorrow to live the life you want. Comfort zones are meant to be blown up, donât stay within the comfort zone if it is not serving you.GUEST BIO:

In this episode of our Midlife Awakening season of the Coached Podcast, the courageous Jody Lavoie joins Coach Keren Eldad to share her story of grief and growth.
After an employee killed Jodyâs husband at their place of business, in addition to waking up to the horror of the tragedy, she was forced to contend with a future that looked nothing like she had planned. Faced with the unthinkable, she decided, in an instant, not to choose defeat, but to step up.
In one fell swoop, Jody went from being a stay-at-home mom to running a multi-million dollar business, solo parenting three daughters, and juggling new legal, financial, and household-related issues - succeeding above and beyond even her own expectations. Having taken this experience and merged it with a career as a certified professional coach, Jody talked to us about grief, about purpose and about reimagining your life.
https://kereneldad.com/enthusiasmacademy/
Highlights from this Episode:
[02:50] Jody shares her remarkable story: from grief to transformation. [05:02] Keren discusses the stages of the grief process. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance [13:27] Jody shares how she built her second act and new business: âWidows in the Workplaceâ. [16:35] Jody shares how you can find inspiration in life after loss, seeing the other side even as an opportunity for rebirth, reawakening, and rediscovery of who you are.Key Takeaways:
Grief stands on its own, but does share a few key elements with the Midlife Crisis. A midlife crisis can feel like grief in the beginning stages, but like grief, there can be beauty on the other side. Grief, like the midlife crisis, can turn your weakest moments into your greatest success by sharing your experience with others in a similar situation.Quotes:
âI believe the grief process requires radical acceptance. Everyone should have a safe place to speak candidly without judgment or shame because itâs a messy path to move forwardâ. â Jody LaVoie

In This Episode:

When public speaking, the audience wants you to succeed. So, get out there and give it your best shot. Audacity is about connecting to your WHY.

In this episode of Coached with Keren, Keren sits down with two leaders, Erica Franko (Senior Manager, Accenture) and Larry Perkins (CEO, SierraConstellation Partners), and talks about the ground-breaking concept of Servant Leadership.
Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy in which the goal of the leader is to serve. This is different from traditional leadership where the leader's main focus is the thriving of their company or organizations. A servant leader shares power puts the needs of the employees first and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible.
The creation of a cohesive, positive team comes from leadership thatâs collaborative and trusting - and so, depends on understanding this philosophy. Keren discusses these aspects with experts Larry Perkins and Erica Franko, and how they cultivate these leadership qualities and positive relationships in their own aspects of work, to make this concept practical and actionable for YOU.
In This Episode:
[01:25] Introducing Servant Leadership and how it creates cohesive, positive teams. [02:10] The danger of displaying dominant, aggressive behavior as your leadership style and how that will affect your working relationships. [4:44] Introduction of guest panelists, Larry Perkins and Erica Franko and their backgrounds. [11:00] How to begin: get some insight into your behavior as you work with others in your business. [18:36] The importance of taking the time to recharge your batteries and evaluate how youâre doing in the process of becoming a better leader. [25:24] Larryâs book, Donât Be a Stranger is about networking. It is also about Servant Leadership, and we explore the connection here between the two. [29:04] The key to Servant Leadership: shifting your focus to others by asking how you may serve them and how you can make yourself useful will be a game-changer. [32:35] How you can lean into your strengths and harness those leadership superpowers today.Key Takeaways:
Leadership is about clarity, connection and service beyond yourself. Servant leadership is about putting the company and organization above yourself for the greater good of the people and all involved. Itâs not always about what you are producing or achieving in your business, but how you are also impacting the people around you. Being a servant leader helps you grow, evolve, and adapt into the leadership types that a business or people need. Having self-awareness will allow you to step into the role of a true servant leader as things change. Letting go of perfection is a big step in knowing that wherever you are and whatever state youâre in you can still lead and inspire people. Visit KerenEldad.com -

This talk, between two professional speakers, is about just that: the business of speaking. If you have always wanted to speak clearly and coherently and mesmerize the room, if the thought of talking coherently in front of a group is nerve-racking, or even when you just want to brilliantly be able to give a toast in front of family or the next time you have to present to your team at work â you will learn how to be at ease, be prepared, and wow the crowd.

Key Takeaways:
If youâre nervous about public speaking, donât be afraid to share and be vulnerable. Audiences love authenticity and everyone wants to see you succeed. Mistakes will happen; use them by working them into your talk instead of being afraid of them. Channel the adrenaline that you get when you walk out on stage - the adrenaline is serving you. The best way to get out ahead of a great talk? Know your first lines cold.

Welcome back to another special episode â this time welcoming my extraordinary guest and friend, the best-selling author of âKetotarian,â âThe Inflammation Spectrum,â and âIntuitive Fasting,â and the host of the new podcast: The Art of Being Well, Dr. Will Cole. In today's episode, we're joining forces to share and discuss his thoughts about the backlash he suffered against his book, Intuitive Fasting, and how he dealt with the criticism and harsh words he faced on social media. Through the story of what happened, I talk to Dr. Cole about what he has learned from the experience, and how we can deal with criticism and taking accountability versus accepting shame, or shaming, as any form of legitimate means for creating change.
Tune in as Dr. Cole speaks about the importance of compassion and acceptance and for his top tips to staying âin the arenaâ and delivering your best work and honest message - no matter what.
In This Episode:
[05:25] Dr. Cole talks about the backlash he received from his book, âIntuitive Fasting,â and how he achieved a place of real peace with and through the ordeal. [08:15] Learn about what Intuitive Fasting is, why itâs not restrictive, and how it can inspire you to listen to your body. [12:20] Listen to the story of how Dr. Cole came to thank the people that tried to silence him because it just made his presence more firm and his reach farther-reaching. [18:15] Dr. Cole and I help you deconstruct how you can choose which feedback to take and which feedback not to take. [24:15] Why you need to be flexing your mindfulness muscles every single day, and a few excellent ways to do so.Key Takeaways:
Root yourself in your intention. To rise above criticism, stay mindful and be gentle with yourself by recognizing if your intention was not to harm and was truly earnest. Shame feels like rejection. Social media shame feels like the possibility of collective rejection. You have to learn to identify this feeling and stop it in its tracks. To do so, first: go inward and realize that nothing crazy is going on. That way, you can recognize that you will be okay and work through the details from a calm place. Rely on a squad of people who have been in your shoes and can lend you a much greater perspective. Find the perspective of gratitude to ground yourself. Appreciation is like empathy: it dissolves the stinging effect of shame. -

Welcome to a special PANEL edition of the Coached podcast.
