You’re 36 & SINGLE?!

Kidding - but, YES! I am…

Hey, I’m Ellyn! And I must not have that much shame around my single status anymore—what with starting this podcast and plastering it all over my about page, right?

I’m looking for…
On the apps? I’d probably say something like “someone who is equal parts homebody and outgoing to be my partner in crime.” But here? I’m looking for women professionals and entrepreneurs who are single, navigating the dating word, and want some single besties in their life to swap stories over a glass of Rose!

Dating Me Is Like…

When your favorite song comes on and you can’t help but to sing every word.

But seriously, though…

Who am I?

Oh goodness—where to start, am I right? Well, I’m a former scientist-turned-coach, speaker, podcaster, entrepreneur, etc. (more on that here) I’m a high-achiever, a recovering perfectionist and people-pleaser. I can be a workaholic and, frankly, my work ethic is probably one of the big reasons why I haven’t found my person yet. Work, my business, accolades… they always felt so important! And dating? Who has time for that? I think my focus was always about getting myself to a place where I felt fulfilled and stable, and dating always took a backseat to that. It just wasn’t my focus.

I’m a former soccer player and high-level athlete, but don’t get it twisted—I’ve always struggled with body image. Body insecurity and self-image are some of my biggest demons.

I’ve moved quite a bit in my adult life, too, which makes finding your people hard. I moved across my home state of Washington at 18 for college, cross-country in my mid-20s for graduate school, and spent 2018 traveling abroad to 11 different countries. I settled where I am now at 30, and it’s only just starting to feel like I’m finding my people again. Another reason it’s been hard to focus on dating—I didn’t know how long I would be in any given place.
