What You're Getting Into
This isn't a
self-care podcast.
This is a performance podcast that respects your nervous system. Each episode is game film — real strategy, real systems, and real talk about what it actually takes to build a business that performs without destroying you.
No vague inspiration. No productivity cosplay. If you're looking for someone to tell you to take a bath and journal your feelings, wrong show. If you want the playbook — you're in the right place.

Ellyn Schinke
Sustainable Performance Coach · Systems Architect
A former research scientist who walked away from a PhD to rebuild from burnout, Ellyn coaches ambitious founders, coaches, and consultants at the intersection of performance, structure, and systems. Her signature lens: burnout is an overtraining problem, not a character flaw — and the fix is a better system, not a better attitude.
She's helped hundreds of founders stop running on memory and improvisation — and build businesses that actually perform. On this podcast, she brings the same game-film energy: real strategy, real plays, zero fluff.
