They run companies, manage households, juggle a million responsibilities—and still find themselves accepting the bare minimum in love. Why?
In this Summer of Love kickoff, Hilary calls out the quiet epidemic of high-achieving women settling for less in their relationships. From doing all the emotional labor to accepting the bare minimum in return, Hilary spells out what “crumbs” really look like, and why so many women accept them without even realizing it.
The truth? Starving women eat crumbs. If you’ve spent a lifetime feeling emotionally underfed, even the smallest scrap of affection can feel like a meal. But that won’t get you the love you want, and it’s not your fault. The fix? Stop looking outward, and start filling yourself up from within.
If you’re ready to quit the chase and start receiving real love, this episode is your wake-up call.

The subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs you're accepting crumbs
Why blaming men misses the point entirely
How emotional deprivation starts early—and shows up in dating
The difference between chasing love and attracting it
What it actually takes to become the woman who won’t settle

This Book Changed How I Think & Live
Think you're doing all the work but still stuck? This episode might explain why.

What “thinking truth regardless of appearances” really means (and why it’s so hard)
