#YoureTooPicky | The Last Single Cousin — Anticipation Anxiety, Family Scripts, and Owning Your Timeline

Description

I'm building You're Too Picky episodes into the Burnout-Proof podcast on FRIDAYS if and when I have something to say...like today!

Being the last single cousin comes with its own emotional Olympics. I wanna talk about driving to a family baby shower while bracing for “you’re next” comments, why “you’ll want kids when you have them” is garbage advice, and the quiet exhaustion of anticipating judgment before it even happens.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re defending your life choices—and your peace of mind—in advance, you’re not alone. I share the push-pull of liking my life, not wanting kids, still wanting partnership, and refusing to settle just to appease the family script. Consider this your reminder: different ≠ behind. Your timeline is yours.

🎧 If you’re single, I’m in the trenches with you. If you’re not, here’s insight into what your single friends are navigating.
