Trading Nashville Stages for Central Illinois Roots

What I Pretend to Know by Hart Media Group LLC

Episode notes

In this heartfelt episode, host Julie Hart sits down with country music star Amy Benton to talk about her incredible journey — from chasing her dreams in Nashville to building a beautiful life and family back home in Central Illinois. Amy opens up about the highs and lows of life in the music industry, what it felt like to step away from the stage, and how motherhood has given her a new kind of purpose. It’s a conversation full of soul, honesty, and the kind of wisdom that only comes from walking through change with grace.
