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.

Inside Ready for Love, Meryl didn’t just “work on herself” — she resigned from decades-old childhood roles, stopped earning love by overgiving, and rewired her identity from martyring do-it-all to woman who actually receives. Now, she runs a luxury design firm with her daughter, just completed a 12,000 sq ft project featured in Architectural Digest, and treats dating the same way she treats client selection: You don’t pick me. I pick YOU.

She’s single, self-possessed, and fully uninterested in settling, which, around here, counts as a success story.

Episode Highlights:

  • When “I’m just independent” is actually code for I don’t trust myself to choose well
  • Why nitpicking men is just fear in fancy clothes
  • The homework assignment that broke her identity wide open
  • How healing self-worth bleeds into business, leadership, and money
  • Dating rule #1: You don’t get pickedyou pick
