From Office Burnout to Aesthetic Passion: Hilary’s Journey Into Lasers and Skincare

In this episode of the Pursue Your Passion podcast, Louis “The Laser Guy” Silberman reconnects with Hilary, a former marketing professional who left the 9-to-5 world to pursue a more flexible and fulfilling career in medical aesthetics. After becoming a young mom, Hilary craved more balance and passion in her professional life—so she enrolled at National Laser Institute and never looked back.

Hilary shares how she overcame her fear of science and lasers to find her stride as a cosmetic laser technician. She eventually transitioned into the skincare industry, becoming an account manager for EltaMD, the #1 dermatologist-recommended sunscreen brand. Now thriving in sales, education, and product training, Hilary reflects on her journey, the power of short-term training, and how chasing her interests in beauty and skin health opened up a long-term, rewarding career path.

If you’re stuck in a job that doesn’t inspire you and dream of a career that offers flexibility, growth, and purpose—Hilary’s story will show you what’s possible when you go after it.
