I know I've been posting a lot recently, asking for help... but, I need it. What can I do to help my pilea? I've had her for a while and this has never happened (where a bunch of leaves turn yellow and die). I'm going to repot her into a larger pot in hopes that helps!
It could just be that some leaves just die. It could be. She is overwatered or underwater, but I would check for pests. She also might need to be repotted, but I don’t really know.

I think having some leaves die and fall off is pretty common, it happens to mine too. I would make sure you aren’t over watering and it isn’t too close to sunlight (directly next to window).
1 LikeI've had it hanging in the window for years, so that wasn't even my first thought- it's been ok for so long. Should I move it?

well first - does this plant like to be root bound? if so don’t repot and if the roots look good than don’t move it to a too big a pot. it will get root rot if the pot is too big
1 LikeI'm not sure! I will totally look into that! Thanks!

Leaves dying off on the bottom layers can be normal over time, but if you’re noticing something different than normal, it may need a change. Sounds like you’ve had it here for years- she may be ready for a larger pot if you’ve had it in that one for well over a year. In my experience, pileas are super dramatic after a repot, but be patient and it’ll bounce back. Be sure you use a good well-draining soil. 🙏🏼
