Why would a 36-year-old high-achieving solopreneur—who’s definitely still single—start a dating and relationships podcast? In this very first episode of You're Too Picky, Ellyn gets radically honest about her own dating history, insecurities, and the real reasons she's launching this pod.
From body image battles and shame around sex to a decade of workaholism and app burnout, this is the unfiltered backstory to why dating’s been on the back burner… and why that’s finally changing.
This isn’t expert advice. It’s real, relatable, and refreshingly honest storytelling for every woman who’s been told she’s “too picky,” “too independent,” or “too much.”
🔥 In This Episode:
Why being the “single friend” became part of Ellyn’s identity
Dating with body shame and a toxic relationship with sex
How hustle culture and burnout sabotaged her dating life
Why dating apps drain her introvert battery—and what she’s trying instead
The reframes she’s using to fall in love with dating again
- What this podcast is really about (hint: it’s not just dating)
