Today on Vulnerable, I chat with actress and children’s rights activist, Taylor Dooley! Taylor made her debut into the industry with her role as Lavagirl in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

She opens up about her experiences as a child actor, and shares some of her most traumatic moments on set. She also talks about her relationship with her mom, advocating for change in Hollywood and reprising her role as Lavagirl on We Can Be Heroes.

What did Matthew Lawrence warn her about on the set of National Lampoon? Did she actually get along with Taylor Lautner? How has becoming a mom helped her process her trauma? Listen now!
