Blind spots can quietly wreck your dating life long before you realize they’re there. And for high-achieving women, they’re sneaky. You can be doing all the “right” things on paper and still keep ending up with the wrong men—or no men at all. Hilary’s breaking down the four biggest ones she sees over and over again. Are you sending mixed signals without realizing it? Mistaking career confidence for genuine self-worth? Letting yourself be chosen instead of actually choosing? Or telling yourself you’re “working on it” when nothing has actually changed? Each blind spot comes with a hard truth and a way forward. And once you see them, you can’t unsee them—which is exactly how you stop getting in your own way.   Episode Highlights: Why mixed signals can repel the kind of partner you actually want The difference between situational confidence and genuine self-worth How “being chosen” keeps you stuck in relationships that don’t fit The myth that dating is a numbers game (and what really works) Why self-awareness is the fastest way to change your love life   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 How Blind Spots Block Love 01:04 Hilary Silver and Ready for Love 01:36 Blind Spot #1: Ambivalence in Dating 04:15 Blind Spot #2: Low Self-Worth in High Achievers 07:04 Blind Spot #3: Waiting to Be Chosen 09:23 Blind Spot #4: Hoping Love Just Happens 12:22 How to Attract the Love You Want   Ready to stop being your own biggest obstacle?  Apply for a call with Hilary’s team to see if Ready for Love is the right fit for you: hillarysilver.com/apply

What gives? In this episode, Hilary calls it like it is: this pattern isn’t about the men. It’s about you. More specifically, your subconscious beliefs, unresolved self-worth issues, and fear of real intimacy.

Everyone’s suddenly an expert on attachment styles. Anxious, avoidant, disorganized—it’s all over your feed, and maybe even your therapist’s office. But here’s the truth: if you’re trying to use attachment theory to decode every date and relationship, it’s keeping you stuck. In this episode, Hilary is  breaking down why obsessing over your (and his) attachment style is doing more harm than good, and what actually matters when you’re looking for real love. If you’re a smart, self-aware woman who’s done the work but still isn’t seeing results in your love life, this might be why. Because knowing better doesn’t automatically mean doing better. And the answer isn’t more information—it’s radical self-trust, embodied confidence, and knowing how to assess how a relationship feels instead of overthinking why someone acts the way they do.   Episode Highlights: Why therapy, books, and expert advice often lead to “knowing better but not doing better” The trap of over-intellectualizing your love life What to look for in a relationship that actually matters How long-term love evolves, and why labels won’t help you grow it   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Attachment Styles Are Keeping You Single 02:21 Information Doesn’t Equal Transformation 04:46 The Problem with Overthinking and Intellectualizing Love 06:06 The Danger of Labeling Your Partner (or Yourself) 08:02 What a Healthy Relationship Actually Looks Like 09:16 Stop Fixating on Him, Focus on You   If you're ready to stop psychoanalyzing every text and start showing up as the woman who knows what she wants and how to get it—this episode is for you. 🎧 Watch the free masterclass: https://hilarysilver.com/masterclass/ 📞 Apply for a call with our team: https://hilarysilver.com/apply/ 🔗 Ready for More Membership Waitlist → https://hilarysilver.com/waitlist/

You’ve got the career, the confidence, the killer heels… so why are all the men you're meeting either emotionally unavailable, totally underwhelming, or gone after two dates? Here’s the hard truth: It’s not about them. It’s about you. Not because you’re broken or “too much”, but because there’s a disconnect between the woman you look like on the outside and the one you’re being on the inside. And good men? They can feel that.   Episode Highlights: The subconscious beliefs sabotaging your love life (yep, even if you’re “putting yourself out there”) Why men aren’t intimidated by your success, they’re turned off by your walls The hidden ways your self-talk is killing your vibe And what it really takes to attract a healthy, high-caliber man   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why You’re Not Meeting Good Men 03:04 The Myth of the Secret Place Men Are Hiding 04:17 Reason #1: Limiting Beliefs Are Repelling Love 05:31 Reason #2: Fear of Intimacy and Vulnerability 08:01 Reason #3: Looking High-Value on the Outside, Not Inside 10:08 You Must Become the Woman Who Can Receive Love 11:44 Real-Life Stories: When Good Men Start Appearing 12:26 Stop Searching. Start Showing Up Differently   There’s no underground speakeasy of good men you haven’t been invited to. They’re all around, you just can’t see them until you become the woman who’s ready to meet them. Door #3 is waiting. But first, you’ve got to stop playing defense and start playing real. 💥 Apply for a breakthrough call: https://hilarysilver.com/apply

Ever feel like you're on date #200, with the same guy? In this episode, Hilary breaks down emotional unavailability for what it actually is: a lack of real intimacy. If you're attracting men who can't go deep, there's a reason. And it may have more to do with you than you think. For high-functioning women especially, this is a sneaky blind spot. You might be warm, flirty, and fun—but still totally guarded. You might talk about your emotions, but not feel them in real time. And that performative intimacy? It’s what keeps real connection out of reach.   Episode Highlights: Why emotional unavailability isn’t just a “man” problem The two biggest reasons people avoid true intimacy The subtle difference between being expressive and actually being emotionally available How to finally break the pattern by turning inward   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why “200 First Dates” Is a Red Flag 01:51 What Emotional Availability Actually Means 02:45 Fear of Vulnerability and Rejection 04:19 Emotional Expression Is a Learnable Skill 06:06 Why Surface-Level Connection Isn’t Enough 08:04 How to Break the Pattern for Good   If you’re done settling for surface-level connections—or being the one who always “catches feelings” first—this is the episode for you. 💥 Ready to stop the cycle for good?

Hilary breaks down why smart, high-achieving women override their instincts—not because they’re clueless, but because they want love so badly they talk themselves out of what they already know.

In this bold and deeply personal episode, Hilary Silver pulls back the curtain on the five lessons she’s deliberately teaching her kids, especially her daughter. These aren’t fluffy Pinterest quotes—these are the things that took Hilary decades to learn the hard way. Now she’s handing them down with intention, clarity, and zero apology. She’s teaching her daughter to know who she is. To trust herself without second-guessing. To stop asking for permission and start asking for what she needs. To see herself clearly, speak up boldly, and never—ever—abandon herself to make others comfortable.   Episode Highlights: The truth about self-trust (and why it matters more than approval) What it looks like to be your own best advocate How to stop outsourcing your happiness Why being self-centered is the most responsible thing you can do How to model the kind of woman you hope your daughter becomes   Episode Breakdown: [00:00] Introduction [00:33] Meet Hilary Silver [01:05] Parenting Imperfections [01:26] Teaching Self-Identity [04:05] Trusting Inner Wisdom [05:30] Developing Self-Trust [07:04] Self-Advocacy [08:40] Personal Responsibility for Happiness [10:03] Be the Woman You Want Her to Become Raising kids or not, these lessons are for every woman who’s done bending, shrinking, and shape-shifting just to keep the peace.
