to Speak

Not Your Average Burnout Keynote Speaker—
Light your Audience Up with the Burnout Speaker you Can Trust!

Data-Driven, Fun, Relatable Keynotes to help your Audience Bust through Burnout

Hey there, I’m Ellyn— a former scientist turned the #1 burnout coach on Google, burnout survivor, keynote speaker, host of the Burnout-Proof podcast, and outspoken advocate for an anti-hustle, work less and live more lifestyle!

Our word is hustle-driven. We’re encouraged to always be at our best, never slow down, hustle 24/7, and run ourselves absolutely rugged. We’re taught to prioritize results over values, achievement over joy, and external validation over internal fulfillment. So, can we really be surprised that burnout is rampant is simultaneously stealing and stifling our success in life?

My mission is to change the way we work and make decisions about our careers by helping us embrace a work less and live more philosophy. Because what is life when you’re not actually living?

I read somewhere that you “can’t out-work or out-earn burnout.” But what you can do is create sustainable success and bring the SUSTAINABILITY back into your success. And that’s what I’m here to teach your audience.

  • "Hire her! You won't regret it!"

See Me in My Element

Hey there! I’m Ellyn…

I’M A FORMER SCIENTIST TURNED SPEAKER, TRAINER, AND THE #1 BURNOUT COACH ON GOOGLE BASED IN THE SEATTLE AREA.

I am honored to have been invited to speak to organizations including LinkedIn, RxPlus, Avery Dennison, Beam Suntory, and American Licorice Company, just to name a few. I’ve has also been featured in Reader's Digest, Fast Company, CUES: Insight, and as a Senior Level Contributor for Brainz Magazine.

I got my start in science and, during the pursuit of my Ph.D., my burnout came to a head. Emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausted as a newly minted Ph.D. candidate, my experiences led me to delve into topics of self-care, productivity and time management, self-awareness, mindfulness, and more. In doing so, I recovered from my own burnout and accidentally stumbled into the field of coaching...

Now, I have been coaching, speaking, studying, researching, and writing about the topics of burnout and stress management since 2019. It has sparked an obsession that has led to a completely different career than I ever planned.

Outside of coaching? I am a hiker, karaoke enthusiast, amateur photographer and watercolorist, piano player and more! Because no one likes a burned-out burnout coach, and I’m committed to practicing what I preach.

Let’s Make Some Magic Happen!

I’d Be Honored to Speak at Your Event!
