This week, Ashlyn connects with dancer, actor, and mental health practitioner Alyson Stoner. Listeners may know Alyson from their childhood roles in Cheaper By the Dozen, Camp Rock, and much more, but these days they’re exposing the “toddler to train-wreck pipeline” that child actors are up against. Alyson’s new memoir, Well Adjusted Despite Literally Everything, details their personal journey in this system and how they have begun to heal from it. Alyson and Ashlyn connect over a passion for mental health advocacy, discovering who they are beyond what they do, and protecting kids in entertainment, sports, and beyond.
