Meet the Host

Hi, I’m Ellie Pickens, LMSW.
I’m a clinical social worker in training with a deep passion for helping people build healthier relationships—from the inside out. After my own experiences with messy, painful, and confusing relationships, I learned the power of boundaries, self-worth, and nervous-system awareness.

Now I want to teach those tools to thousands of listeners so you can date with clarity, confidence, and compassion—without losing yourself in the process.
