Trailblazing Hilary I’M IN MY PRIME OF LIFE!

‘I get imposter syndrome from time to time... But I recognise the voice and I don’t let it take control’

Hilary Barry has a lot to celebrate. As she chats to the Weekly from her Auckland home, she fist pumps the air with both hands and declares she’s embracing every moment of being an empty nester now that sons Finn, 21, and Ned, 19, have moved away to study at university.

But while it’s a significant milestone, it’s not the only change that has swept through her life this year.

She is – touch wood – coming out the other side of menopause, while her professional life shows no signs of slowing down. Already beaming into homes each weeknight on TVNZ 1’s , she’s also done a stint on The Hits filling in for Laura McGoldrick while she was on maternity leave. And now, Hilary is set to hit our screens in a new role.
