Your past doesn’t define you—unless you let it. In this episode, Hilary Silver serves up a reality check with core concept number four of her self-centered model: identity is a choice. That’s right—who you are isn’t carved in stone, no matter what your childhood, parents, or society told you.
For too long, you’ve been letting outdated beliefs and hand-me-down narratives dictate your life. It’s time to rip up that old script and write a new one where YOU call the shots. Whether you’re 40, 50, or 60, it’s never too late to hop off the train of old beliefs and step into a new self-concept. And she’s living proof, sharing how she went from therapist to boss, business owner and beyond by redefining who she was—and who she wanted to be.
If you’re ready to get off that tired train of self-doubt and step into the CEO role of your life, this episode is for you. And trust us, it’s about to get personal, empowering, and a little uncomfortable—in the best way possible.
