Heal Squad x Maria Menounos 1130. Heal Your Inner Child: Alyson Stoner On Trauma & The Cost of Childhood Fame
Hey, Heal Squad! This week, we’re joined this week by Hollywood child star, Alyson Stoner for one of the most vulnerable conversations we’ve ever had on children’s mental health.
In Part 1, Alyson opens up about the hidden cost of childhood fame, the impact of growing up in unsafe environments, and the long-term effects of being a “performing child.” They share what it’s like to heal publicly, how childhood trauma shows up in adulthood, and why so many of us are still carrying the coping mechanisms we learned just to survive.
PLUS, we talk about the importance of creating safe spaces for kids today (especially as the mental health crisis deepens) and how to begin reparenting your inner child with compassion. This one’s for anyone healing their past, parenting in the present, or simply looking to break the cycle for the next generation. You don’t want to miss out, tune in!!
HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:
-
The Cost of Early Success: Childhood fame often comes with emotional neglect and performance pressure. Alyson breaks down how trauma hides in plain sight, and how to reclaim your voice.
-
Trauma Responses Are Not Personality Traits: People-pleasing, perfectionism, overachievement, these aren’t quirks. They’re signs your inner child is still trying to survive.
-
Reparenting Your Inner Child: Healing means meeting the needs you never got growing up, especially rest, safety, and emotional validation. You can be the safe space you always needed.
