Ready For Love with Hilary Silver
I created this podcast to help smart, successful women like you finally get everything you want in love—and in life—by turning your attention inward, where real transformation begins. Because the truth is: when you change, everything does. This isn’t another podcast about how to “fix yourself” to be chosen. It’s about becoming so whole, grounded, and self-led that you choose what—and who—gets to be in your life. As a former psychotherapist turned truth-teller and life disrupter, I’m not here to play nice or give you tips you could find on TikTok. This is your space for bold insights, paradigm shifts, and the straight-up truth about what it really takes to attract love, feel fulfilled, and live YOUR OWN very best life. You’re not here to settle. You’re here because you’re ready for love—and everything else you deserve. New episodes drop every Friday on all podcast platforms and YouTube.

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 narci...

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.

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 c...

When you’ve been single for 13 years, “I’m fine” starts sounding a lot like “I’ve given up.”
Kimberly was successful on paper, but she was quietly miserable off it. Between perimenopause, work burnout, and pandemic isolation, she’d convinced herself she was too busy (and too jaded) for love. Then she found Ready for Love, and everything shifted.
She thought she was signing up to find love. Happily, she found herself in the p...

If you’re a woman who can run circles around most humans — yet still finds herself scheduling her partner’s appointments, tracking his moods, or generally keeping his life stitched together — congratulations, you’re unofficially in man-keeping mode. Hilary is calling it out the silent epidemic of high-achieving women accidentally becoming their partner’s project manager instead of their partner. Spoiler: nothing kills attraction fa...

If you’ve ever rejected a man because his name annoyed you… this episode is for you.
Hilary sits down with award-winning interior designer and unapologetic former love-skeptic Meryl Stern, who admits she once dismissed perfectly good men for crimes like “bad vibes” and “unfortunate first names.” (Her words.) But beneath all that discernment? A woman hiding behind a beautifully curated emotional wall.

Ever seen those videos promising to “make him obsessed with you in 5 texts” or “7 tricks to make a man worship you like a queen”? Yeah… Hilary’s not having it.
This week, she’s calling BS on the toxic, clickbait dating advice flooding YouTube. From “dark psychology” tactics to straight-up patriarchal conditioning, this advice is designed to manipulate women, keep them second-guessing themselves, and—let’s be honest—get them to ...

You can spend thousands on a matchmaker or swipe until your thumbs go numb, but if you keep running into the same disappointing patterns, the real question isn’t “where are all the good men?” The real question is how are you showing up when you meet them?
In this episode, Hilary unpacks why so many smart, successful women struggle in love even when everything looks perfect on the outside. Ghosting, mismatches, and one-sided relati...

Wanting love and being ready for it aren’t the same thing. You might be on the apps, going on dates, even hiring a matchmaker—but if you keep finding yourself in the cycle of “hot and heavy” followed by fade and fizzle, the problem may be pacing.
In this episode, Hilary unpacks the anxious dating behaviors that push love away and she lays out five concrete ways to date with emotional security rather than a sense of urgency. From k...

Most women I talk to over 40, 50, and 60 say the same thing: “I never thought I’d be here, dating at this stage of life.” And let’s be honest, midlife dating often gets a bad rap. But the truth? It can be the BEST time in your life to find real love… if you know how to approach it.
In this episode, we talk about why dating now can be easier, more authentic, and more fulfilling than ever—and how shifting your perspective can change...

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.

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.

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.
