Welcome to the Stop Chasing Unavailable Guys podcast. This is the show for single women over 40 who are done wasting time on emotionally unavailable guys and ready for real, healthy love.
I’m Truly Eleanor, an intuitive dating coach with over 17 years of experience, and I help women stop chasing, stop doubting, and start choosing relationships that actually feel good.
If you’ve ever thought:
“Why do I keep attracting the same kind of guy?”
“Why does healthy love feel unfamiliar?”
“Why does dating feel harder the moment I start to care?”
You’re in the right place.
This podcast is where emotional healing meets real-world dating, so you can finally trust yourself, spot red flags early, and move toward love that’s calm, mutual, and deeply connected.
Love is closer than you think. Find me here: https://www.trulyeleanor.com (https://www.trulyeleanor.com)
Episode #66 Why You Go Quiet in Relationships After 40 (Even When You Never Do Anywhere Else)
You know that feeling when a conversation ends and somewhere on the drive home you think, I should have said that.
For my guest today, that kind of staying quiet went on for seventeen years. She built a career, a marriage, a family. She thought she was good at reading people. Then her husband asked for a divorce and she realized the one person she had stopped listening to was herself.
If you've ever felt yourself shrinking in a relationship while staying completely yourself everywhere else, this conversation about dating after 40 is going to feel like someone finally said the quiet part out loud.✨
What's Inside This Episode:
Why confident, successful women often go quiet specifically in romantic relationships, even when they speak up everywhere else in their lives
The deceptively small first step to recognizing exactly when and where you silence yourself
A simple mirror practice that helps you hear your own voice again, literally
Why staying quiet to avoid losing someone usually means you already lost them
Support from Phaedra: You know there’s more in you. But something is still holding you back. In this free challenge, you’ll work with me one-on-one for five online sessions (up to 45 minutes each). No theory, just direct guidance to help you see where you’re holding back and what shifts when you start using your voice. This is your first step. Not perfect. But real. https://linktr.ee/LaReineCoaching (https://linktr.ee/LaReineCoaching)

Episode #65: Dating After 40: How to Become a Woman Who Trusts What She Feels
My guest, Emma Ferris, had all the tools. She was literally a nervous system coach. And she still handed over six figures to a man she loved who turned out to be a convicted con artist.
Her body was sending signals the whole time, but her brain had very convincing reasons to keep going anyway.
If you've ever looked back at a relationship and thought "I felt it and I still didn't stop," this conversation is going to land somewhere important. Dating after 40 with an unregulated nervous system is like trying to navigate with a compass that's been magnetised by every heartbreak you've ever had. Emma helps you reset it.
About Emma Ferris: Emma is a physiotherapist, nervous system coach, author, and speaker, and the founder of The Breath Effect. She works with women whose bodies have been asked to hold too much for too long, helping them rebuild their signal so they can hear themselves again.
What's Inside This Episode:
The moment Emma's world fell apart and what it revealed about the gap between knowing your nervous system and actually being able to listen to it
Why your body might be reading a man accurately while your brain is busy building a very convincing case for why he's fine
What you discover when you finally understand why calm kept feeling boring, and what shifts when that changes
The one place Emma says to start if you want to change who you attract, and it's not a mindset shift

Ep #64 Dating After 40: 5 Habits That Are Quietly Drowning Out Your Intuition
Your intuition hasn't abandoned you. It hasn't gone quiet. Something specific is drowning it out, and until you name it, you'll keep second-guessing yourself right out of your own best decisions.
This episode is for any woman over 40 who's wondering why she can't trust herself in dating anymore. You used to know things. You used to have good instincts. And somehow, somewhere along the way, all that got muddier.
There are five specific habits that block your intuition in dating after 40, and the wildest part? Most of them look like virtues. They look like being careful, being kind, being smart. That's what makes them so sneaky.
What's Inside This Episode:
Why the thing you think is helping you figure him out is actually the biggest reason you can't hear yourself
The "nice" habit that looks like generosity but is quietly working against you
What's really happening when your gut says one thing and your brain immediately shuts it down
The sneaky belief that makes your intuition go silent, and how to know if it's running the show right now
🎧 Listen now and figure out which of the five has the most grip on you right now.
