About Being... a Child Star (with Alyson Stoner)

Tell Me More with Nicole Walters

Show Notes

“We are collectively, inadvertently, signing up young people to be entered onto this toddler to train wreck pipeline.”

Friend, this chat is about childhood fame but it’s also about so much more! I am so honored to bring you this chat with Alyson Stoner, a multi-hyphenate artist and mental health advocate.

Alyson and I chat about her lived experience as a dancer and actress in Hollywood, the journey she went on to heal, and how the topic of childhood fame touches us all.

Alyson will blow you away with her compassion and research-based ideas on what it means to be successful, especially as a child. From mental health reform to creating safe and creative spaces for kids, this chat is a must-listen.

Hit play and grab Alyson’s new book, Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything, wherever books are sold!

"The message that you will only see proper and consistent success if you have a crazy number of eyes on you is one of the biggest lies you've ever been told."
