• #93: Why You Keep Attracting Narcissists and How to Break the Cycle

  Feel like a narcissist magnet?  If you keep dating narcissists, attracting narcissists, or you keep repeating narcissistic relationship patterns, there’s a reason, and it has everything to do with something no one is telling you. The truth is, narcissistic relationships take hold when you sideline your own needs and shrink your self-worth. Hilary breaks down the traits that make women vulnerable to toxic relationships with narcissistic men: people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, craving attention, chasing validation, overgiving as a way to feel valuable. These habits create the perfect entry point for a narcissist!  This isn’t about blaming you; it’s to finally see the role you play so you can stop repeating it. This episode gives you a path to break the cycle of attracting narcissists for good. What shifts when you trust yourself again? How different would dating feel with real boundaries instead of fear? Hilary shows you how self-loyalty becomes the filter that keeps narcissistic partners out of your life and pulls you back into your own power. Episode Highlights: Why you keep attracting narcissists The patterns that pull you into toxic relationships How people-pleasing kills your boundaries The magnet traits narcissistic partners chase What healing after narcissistic abuse really requires The mindset shift that ends the cycle for good Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Understanding the Attraction to Narcissists 03:12 The Impact of Narcissistic Relationships 06:03 Shifting the Focus: From Narcissists to Self-Reflection 08:55 Identifying and Flipping Magnet Traits 11:48 Healing and Moving Forward Ready to stop attracting narcissists and start choosing real love?

• #92: Stop Loving Someone Who Doesn’t Love You Back

  Unrequited love can take down even the most capable, confident women, and Hilary is done watching smart, high-achieving women lose themselves over someone who can’t meet them where they are. This episode is a call back to your power, especially in those moments when your mind is spinning, your heart is hopeful, and the person you want isn’t choosing you back. Hilary dives into the shame, the second-guessing, and the quiet panic that shows up when you start making someone else’s behavior mean something about your worth. She offers a clearer way to see what’s really happening, why these patterns feel so magnetic, and what becomes possible when you stop interpreting someone’s “no” as proof that you’re not enough. Instead of chasing, contorting, or holding on to hope that never turns into reality, Hilary invites you to be honest with yourself: would you want this person if fear wasn’t making the decisions? She shares the shifts that helped her stop abandoning herself in dating, including the seven things she quit while she was single that opened her up to real love. If you’re ready to step out of the spiral and back into self-respect, this episode is your starting place.

• #91: The Painful Truth About Why You’re Still Single

  Still single and calling your love life “fine”? Please. Hilary isn’t buying it, and neither should you. In this episode, Hilary is getting real about the quiet ache that hides behind independence and success. She’s talking about the kind of loneliness that becomes familiar enough to live with, even when it quietly hurts. Maybe you’ve told yourself the timing isn’t right to start dating or to find romance, or that you’re focused on other things. But what if you’ve just gotten comfortable being uncomfortable? This episode pulls back the curtain on what it really means to “tolerate” being single. Hilary explains how identity, how you see yourself, shapes every part of your love life. Have you started to see yourself as the woman who doesn’t get love? Have you made peace with that story without realizing it? She shares why doing more won’t fix what’s underneath and how shifting your self-concept is the key to creating the love you want. The question is: how long are you willing to keep calling “fine” good enough? Episode Highlights: The hidden cost of saying you’re “fine” How comfort zones quietly become cages Why your identity, not your effort, decides what changes The subtle ways women block themselves from love How to start becoming the version of you who gets everything she wants Episode Breakdown: 00:00 The Holiday Dilemma of Singleness 02:50 How Tolerating Singleness Keeps You Stuck 06:03 Identity, Self-Perception, and Feeling “Unlovable” 08:57 Breaking the Cycle of Limiting Beliefs 11:47 Becoming the Woman Who Attracts Extraordinary Love ✨ I’m Hilary Silver, LCSW, former psychotherapist turned master coach and founder of Ready for Love.

• #89: Why He Won’t Commit (And Why You’re Still Waiting)

  When a man keeps you half chosen and half confused, the real problem isn’t his hesitation but the part of you willing to wait for it! Ever been strung along by a man who gives just enough to keep you hopeful but never enough to give you certainty? One day he’s all charm and chemistry, the next he’s conveniently unavailable? You start analyzing his behavior like a crime scene. Does he have trauma? Is it timing? Is it me? Hilary calls BS! In this episode, Hilary dismantles the obsession with figuring him out and asks a better question: Why are you waiting for someone who won’t choose you fully? Mixed signals are signals. If it only feels good when he’s present but wrecks your peace when he’s gone, that’s not romance — that’s chaos dressed as potential. And if you’re tolerating crumbs, playing it cool, or bending your boundaries just to keep him around, you’re accidentally auditioning for the role of “almost enough.” Hilary’s message is blunt but liberating: stop chasing clarity from him and start demanding consistency for yourself. You don’t need closure, you need standards. So ask yourself, are you in a relationship or just holding space for someone who hasn’t decided? And if you stopped waiting on his decision, what would yours be? Episode Highlights: Why “understanding him” is just a distraction from reclaiming your own power What mixed signals in dating are actually telling you How pick-me energy sabotages real commitment Signs you’re emotionally unavailable too The mindset shift that ends situationships for good Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Women Stay Stuck in Non-Committal Relationships 01:34 The Trap of Overanalyzing His Mixed Signals 03:18 Emotional Burnout from Chasing Clarity 04:21 How to Evaluate a Relationship Beyond Chemistry 05:24 The Hidden Cost of Self-Betrayal and Pick-Me Energy 07:31 When You’re the One Afraid of Commitment 09:17 Shifting from Waiting to Self-Ownership 10:00 Final Call to Stop Settling ✨ I’m Hilary Silver, LCSW, former psychotherapist turned master coach and founder of Ready for Love.
