Reflecting on growth and mental health

Before taking on her recent roles, Brittany Snow took a two-year break from acting to focus on her mental health. In a July 2025 interview with PEOPLE, she revealed that the time away was essential to rediscover who she was and what she wanted.

“During that time, I had to learn how to handle my anxiety and my nerves. I didn’t think I was ever going to work again because I felt like I had to restart my career.”

Looking back, Brittany Snow said that decision helped her find a more sustainable way to approach her career. The break allowed her to focus on self-care, which later made it easier to handle busy periods like this one.

“That time off was hugely important for me to find out who I was. It was a restart, in a way, that gave me a clear path forward.”

Brittany Snow also shared that her idea of success has changed over the years.

“I think my idea of success when I was younger was this sort of one-track mind of needing to be Julia Roberts. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that there are many different forms of success. Success, to me, is the fact that I’m still doing this, and I love it even more now.”
