Who Is TikTok Star and Mental Health Advocate Elyse Myers?
Elyse Myers’ rise to TikTok fame

Myers is a 28-year-old comedian and content creator whose rise to internet superstardom began in October 2021.
Viral TikTok sensation Elyse Myers took the internet by storm when she started uploading hilarious content in 2021. Since then, Myers has become one of social media’s most relatable content creators, amassing well over 5 million followers on the app. So what is Myers’ story, and how did the TikTok star become “the internet’s best friend”?
After catching the internet’s attention with her relaxed, casually hilarious storytelling, Myers continued to upload more relatable stories and “Q&As over coffee.” She’s since expanded to other social media platforms.
The writer-comedian’s first viral hit was a story time-style video detailing a first date gone horribly wrong. In the two and a half minute clip, she shared a vivid retelling of the date. On it, she was swindled into paying for 100 hard-shell tacos in a Taco Bell drive-through, per Vanity Fair.
Elyse Myers opens up about her personal life and mental health
Based in Nebraska, Myers lives with her husband and young son. Before catapulting to TikTok superstardom, she had a career working as a web developer.
“My most creative time is early morning,” she told Vanity Fair. “I feel like if the rest of the world is awake, and I’m getting texts and messages all day, I just can’t sit and be creative.”
Plus, as a mom and full-time influencer, Myers isn’t afraid to get real with her content. Her day-to-day routine is far from glamorous, with a typical morning beginning sometime around 4:30 a.m.
Many TikTok users have praised Myers for her candid chats about mental health. Often appearing on camera in a messy bun and sweatshirt, Myers acts as a sort of coach to many who deal with mental health issues.
Outside of her social media channels and new podcast, Myers also makes a living off of her merch line. She sells clothes with her signature catchphrases embroidered onto them. Options include a shirt that reads “go find less” or a baseball cap that says “absolutely not” in an all-lowercase font. The items are currently available on her website.
