Podcast Guesting
Let's make a great episode together.
I love a good podcast conversation. If your audience includes solopreneurs, business owners, leaders, or high achievers — I've got topics that will give them something real to walk away with.
Topics
What I bring to the show.
Why burnout is a systems problem, not a willpower problem. The 4 types of burnout. Why "just slow down" doesn't work — and what actually does.
Building a backend that actually holds your business. Tool + Process + Ritual + Outcome. Why organized doesn't mean sustainable — and how to tell the difference.
How solopreneurs and small teams use Notion as a full operating system. AI agents, automations, and building a second brain that actually runs the business.
How to lead without burning out your team. Culture, boundaries, and systems-level thinking for organizations that want results and retention.
Perfectionism, overwork, identity-fused ambition. How to build a career and business that doesn't require self-destruction as the price of admission.
Happy to tailor the conversation to your audience. Student success, academic mentorship, Notion deep-dives, or something specific to your show's niche.

About Ellyn
Ellyn Schinke

A former burnt-out overachiever who rebuilt from the ground up, Ellyn coaches at the intersection of performance, structure, and identity — equipping high-achievers with the playbooks, recovery protocols, and operating systems they need to win big and last long.
Her signature lens reframes burnout as an overtraining problem, not a character flaw. She doesn't coach hustle. She coaches longevity.
