Christy Carlson Romano is most notably known for being the former star of the popular Disney Channel series Even Stevens alongside Shia Lebouf. But she was also the voice of Kim Possible, the star of Disney’s Cadet Kelly, and Belle in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. (You may have even seen her in a Lifetime movie.)

Today, she hosts the YouTube popular series “Christy’s Kitchen Throwback." She wrote an incredibly compelling essay on Teen Vogue about her silent struggles to fit in growing up in the spotlight, and when we read it, we knew we had to have her on the show.
