After Hilary left Disney, she made a choice a lot of people didn't really get. She stepped back from Hollywood. Not because her career failed or anything like that. But because she chose to build a real life over chasing fame. In this episode, we're walking through the years when people kind of forgot about her. How she came back with shows like Younger. And why her return to music now isn't about proving she's still got it, it's just about showing up as who she is today. If you've ever felt pressure to stay the same version of yourself, or if you've wondered whether you can step away from something and come back as someone completely different, Hilary's story might be the permission you need. You're allowed to live in seasons. No apology needed.
