This is an IHeart podcast.

In progress.

Hello, Whips, Marties.

Oh, my goodness, do we have a brilliant guest on the show today. This is a person

whose story has inspired me for so long, both in my interactions with them and also in the way

they impact the world. And in the way they have been impacting the world for so many years now,

today we are joined by Alison Stoner. They are an entertainer author and the founder and CEO of Movement Genius, a mental

health company that is providing therapist-led content to improve well-being for all people.

And Allison knows how important that is. During their childhood, they were in over 200 films, TV shows, and tours, everything from Camp Rock to Phineas

and Ferb to step up, cheaper by the dozen, and very iconic music videos you probably know them from

with Missy Elliott and Eminem.

As the writer and host of the award-winning Dear Hollywood podcast, Stoner has been advocating

for industry and policy reform that centers the safety and protection of children in both

traditional and digital media.

Allison now holds multiple certifications across the mental health space and has led programming for the UN, the World Health Organization, LGBTQIA centers, and leading universities.

And now they are releasing their incredible memoir, semi-well adjusted, despite literally everything,

into the world. It is such a profoundly powerful book and it really pulls back the curtain

so that we can all have conversations that we need to have.

And somehow Allison has managed to make this book bold, entertaining, warm, and galvanizing all at once.

It's really a beacon for reform and a roadmap to healing.

And I'm really excited to talk with Allison about this whole journey today. Let's dive in. Do you have Auburn hair now? Is that new?

I did it like a year ago, but, you know, what is time? What do we know about anything anymore?
