Welcome to the podcast that’s here to flip your world—and your mindset—upside down.
This is The Hilary Silver Podcast, where being self-centered isn’t selfish—it’s the cheat code to getting everything you want in life. Because when YOU are good, everything else falls into place. Your relationships, your confidence, your success, your body, your peace—they all start with you.
So, if you’ve been running yourself ragged trying to be everything for everyone and still wondering why you feel like crap, buckle up. It’s time to step into the role of the main character in your own life.
Hilary’s the straight-talking, script-flipping, former psychotherapist you didn’t know you needed—part brain science, part universal laws, and 100% no bullshit. She’s your bestie with receipts, here to help you stop waiting for permission, start trusting yourself, and finally build a life that feels as good as it looks.
Every week, Hilary dives into the real stuff—confidence, boundaries, aging, relationships, success—all the things that actually matter, without the fluff (or the toxic positivity). Just real talk, hard truths, and tools that work, served up with little spoonfuls of sweetness to help the medicine go down.
New episodes drop every Friday on all podcast platforms and YouTube.
Hit follow, tune in, and let’s make self-centered the best thing that’s ever happened to you.

If You’re The Fixer, Helper Problem-Solver Type, Please Listen
Are you the fixer? The one who always steps up, saves the day, and keeps everything running smoothly? Yeah, that might sound noble, but here’s the truth—you’re not helping. You’re enabling.
Hilary is here to break down why over-functioning is actually a trap—for you and everyone around you. You think you’re keeping things together, but what you’re really doing is creating dependence, burning yourself out, and blocking others from stepping up. And let’s be real—you kind of love being the one everyone relies on, don’t you? 👀
Episode Highlights:
Why “helping” is keeping everyone stuck (including you)
How over-functioning leads to exhaustion, resentment, and crappy relationships
The sneaky reason you can’t stop fixing everything
How to back off without guilt and let people handle their own mess
The magic of actually receiving for once (yes, you deserve it)
Episode Breakdown:
00:00 Are You Over-Functioning?
02:00 Five Reasons Over-Functioning is Bad
02:32 Reason 1: Training People to Rely on You
03:24 Reason 2: Robbing Others of Their Wins and Lessons
05:08 Reason 3: Getting Something Out of It
08:08 Reason 4: Hogging the Joy of Giving
09:53 Reason 5: Blocking the Flow of Reciprocity
12:22 The Hard Truth & Simple Fix
It’s time to drop the superhero cape and let people solve their own damn problems. Because the less you do, the more you actually get.
