This week on Not A Damn Chance, hosts Phillip Frankland Lee and Neen Williams welcome Disney legend and actress Christy Carlson Romano (Even Stevens, Kim Possible). From childhood fame to reality TV survival, Christy brings the realest conversation we’ve had yet.

She opens up about her journey from middle-class Connecticut to Disney Channel stardom, how the industry fast-tracks childhoods, and the emotional (and financial) fallout many child actors face—including bitter ex-stars, manipulative stage parents, and the hard lessons of growing up on camera. They also discuss Millie Bobby Brown, Shia LaBeouf, the toxic cycle of family business, and how Christy literally fired her own mom.

Things get personal as Christy unpacks her time on Special Forces, being buried alive, facing brutal challenges, and the life-altering moment when she was shot in the face. She shares how that trauma reshaped her relationship with faith, humor, resilience, and sobriety. Plus, Phillip reveals his own child acting past, there's some Ren Faire chaos, sober holiday stories, P90X dads, TikTok conspiracies, they also cover going viral after trauma, as well as the importance of mentorships in the kitchen, on set, and in life.

It’s raw, it’s hilarious, and it’s real. Christy proves that no matter how hard life tries to break you, not quitting can be a superpower.
