Alyson Stoner on Healing Childhood Fame, Identity & Mental Health

What happens when childhood fame shapes your identity, rewires your brain, and leaves no roadmap for healing? 🎬

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Alyson Stoner—actor, dancer, singer, activist, and founder of Movement Genius—to explore the hidden costs of early success and the science of reclaiming your inner world.

Alyson shares raw insights from their new book Semi Well Adjusted Despite Literally Everything, diving into the pressures of the entertainment industry, the long-term effects of growing up on set, and the neuroscience-backed practices that helped them rebuild.

We unpack:

• Why stability and “boring” routines are essential for brain and body healing

• How fame impacts mental health and identity formation

• The toddler-to-train-wreck pipeline in child stardom—and how to break it

• Tools for reconnecting with yourself after trauma

• The role of community, neuroscience, and intentional practice in real recovery
