I’m a Catch. So Why Am I Still Single?


These days, “being a catch” has become its own kind of identity. 


Career? On point. Emotional intelligence? Check. Working with a therapist? Obviously.


But if you’re still single—and tired of pretending not to care—this episode is for you.


Ashtyn and I unpack the disconnect between being successful in life and why that doesn’t always translate to success in love.


We break down:

  • How high-achieving habits can create unexpected barriers in dating.
  • How high standards can get in the way of emotional availability.
  • What it really means to be a “catch”—beyond the résumé.


Whether you’re dating, healing, or just trying to make sense of why love feels so elusive, this conversation will give you the clarity you didn’t know you needed.


Because the goal isn’t to look like a catch.

It’s to become one.
