    Christy Carlson Romano: Love Addiction Brought Me To My Knees

    Christy Carlson Romano (Disney actress, activist, entrepreneur, content creator) breaks down her career pivot from Disney icon to child star advocate, the mechanisms of dissociation, and her struggles with love addiction. She details the juxtaposition between her typecasted acting roles with her actual complicated family dynamics, feeling “othered” from her siblings as she became the focal point for family, and the insecurities she carried after her Disney career. Christy explains why child actors are prone to addiction, her own sobriety journey, and the importance of supporting children’s mental health on sets. She shares her heartbreaking story of being assaulted while on her path to recovery, why she once cut her family off, and how she was conned by a “psychic”. Christy opens up about imposter syndrome when it comes to therapy, why she’s not active in it anymore, and her experience with EMDR. NOTE: This episode was recorded before the SAG-AFTRA strike.

    The Voice of BATMAN Can Freaking Sing!

    Today on I Hear Voices, Will Friedle and Christy Carlson Romano sit down with the ONE and ONLY Kevin Conroy, AKA Batman AKA Bruce Wayne. Kevin has been bringing the animated Batman to life through his voice for 30 YEARS! Can you believe it? Kevin shares how his Julliard training and love for Shakespeare inform the way he voices Batman. He also details the origin of how the two distinct voices between Bruce Wayne and Batman came to be. Kevin is such a generous artist. It’s evident in the way he’s mentored Will, but also in how he celebrates everyone person who acts or voices a Batman. He gives insight into why Batman is still a relevant and welcomed character to explore.  Kevin also shares what cartoons he grew up watching and offers the sweetest story about his first imaginary friends. Although Kevin believes the Batman story is the ultimate true hero’s journey, Kevin is OUR TRUE HERO, and we think you’ll agree. Follow Kevin on Twitter @RealKevinConroy. Kevin is also on Cameo! So if you would like a personal message from the voice of Batman, be sure to check his Cameo out.
