In this episode of the You're Too Picky Podcast, I'm talking about a wild (or just interesting...?) update: my MOM wants to set me up on a blind date.

Is this what hitting dating rock bottom looks like—or is it the start of a Hallmark movie arc? I'm spilling the tea on the text that started it all, her mixed feelings about community matchmaking, and why she's both mortified and lowkey into it.

In today’s episode, Ellyn sits down with confidence coach Elyse Conroy for a powerful conversation about the importance of redefining success and embracing imperfection. Together, they unpack how perfectionism and people-pleasing tendencies fuel burnout for high-achieving women. Elyse shares her personal journey from the corporate grind to launching her own coaching business, revealing how healing from burnout required a deep shift in her definition of success.

Welcome back to the You’re Too Picky Podcast— helping you date, not settle.

I'm sitting down with my friend Michal Kaye, a single Jewish woman living in Israel, to unpack what dating looks like across generations, cultures, and belief systems—yet feels remarkably the same.

We’ve been sold the lie that rest only counts if you completely disconnect. But for solopreneurs, that’s not always realistic—or necessary. In this blog, I’m breaking down how I worked on vacation without burning out, why strategic rest matters more than all-or-nothing thinking, and how you can build a business that actually lets you breathe. Spoiler: your version of rest doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

Someone recently said, “It’s not the apps—it’s the people on them.” My response? Nah. It’s the apps.

And this episode is the full rant you’ve been waiting for. Today, we’re breaking down exactly how dating apps have gone from cute convenience to full-blown pay-to-play chaos—and why that shift is making it way harder to find anything real.

If you're dreaming about starting over, you’re not broken—you’re evolving. Here’s exactly how to rebuild a burnout-proof business that actually supports your life.

You’re not lazy—you might just be evolving. If you’ve been dragging your feet on tasks that used to light you up, this blog breaks down how to tell if you’re procrastinating or pivoting… and what to do next.

You don’t need more content. You need a strategy that actually works while you rest.

If you’re sick of babysitting your Instagram feed or burning hours making videos no one sees—this episode is for you.

Pinterest strategist Camille Kurtenbach is here to flip the script on what sustainable marketing really looks like. This isn’t another “just repurpose it!” conversation. We’re talking about how Pinterest is a visual search engine (not social media!)—and how to make it your business’s best-kept visibility secret.

Whether you’re a course creator, coach, or creative… if you’ve got content, you’ve got searchable marketing assets. Now let’s use them.

This one’s fresh off a 2000s dance party—and I’ve got a hot take for the men still standing on the sidelines. If you've ever looked around the club and thought, “Why do all these men look like they were dragged here against their will?”—same, babe.

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.

You’re Too Picky is the dating podcast for high-standard women who are done settling and over the bare minimum. Hosted by burnout coach and serially single millennial Ellyn Schinke, we’re talking dating apps, red flags, emotional labor, and the wild world of intentional dating. Come for the rants, stay for the solidarity. This isn’t a fixer podcast—it’s a f*ck it, let’s talk about it podcast.
