  • Episode 432: Dr. Debi Silber
    Jun 27 2025

    Dr. Debi Silber is a holistic psychologist, health and mindset expert, author, speaker, and mentor specializing in helping individuals heal from Post Betrayal Syndrome—a real and often overlooked challenge.


    She brings powerful insight into how unhealed betrayal impacts health, relationships, work, and overall quality of life, making her a natural fit for business, health, and relationship-focused podcasts.


    Dr. Silber serves two primary audiences: those currently struggling to recover from a painful betrayal, and those who have survived such an experience but have unknowingly settled.


    The latter often accept their current physical, mental, and emotional state as “good enough,” living within the limits of safety, stagnation, and smallness—whether in their health, relationships, career, or lifestyle.


    As a podcast host herself, Dr. Silber understands the importance of amplifying meaningful conversations. She is committed to sharing each episode across all of her social media platforms and is always honored to serve new audiences with her empowering message.
