REWIND Vulnerable EP09: Halloweentown Actress Kimberly J. Brown Gets Vulnerable
VULNERABLE REWIND:
Today on Vulnerable, I sit down with Kimberly J. Brown. Kimberly is an actress who started her career at just five years old. We grew up together in the industry, crossing paths at commercial auditions, on Broadway, and later in California during our Disney Channel days. So it was great to catch up with my friend!
In this episode, Kimberly and I reflect on our experiences in NYC being child actors. Kimberly shares what it was like to be Young Cosette in Les Miserables and how she juggled being on Broadway and a regular on Guiding Light at the same time.
We also talk about being the first Disney Channel “stars” and what it was like to usher a new era for the Disney Channel in terms of entertainment that adults and kids today still enjoy!
Kimberly shared how she navigated her education while acting and why she decided to go to college and study something entirely outside of “the arts.” Kimberly’s deep wisdom from growing up in the industry, has allowed her to really own her creative endeavors, from continuing her acting, to writing and producing sketches on her YouTube and social channels, to selling unique graphic tees on her Etsy shop, to traveling and interacting with fans at Cons. Kimberly has crafted a life she enjoys. She truly loves that her work can bring someone joy.
PLUS, we even learn how unexpected love came into her life when she reconnected with her Halloweentown co-star.
This episode highlights how you can design a life you love that will uplift all the talents that make you, you!

Customer Reviews
Awesome!
Just read the hateful review someone left you last month and wanted to say that none of that is true. Even Steven’s was great. You’re great. This is an interesting topic and advocating for young actors is important.
Cutting Edge is ICONIC
I’m ready for that Cutting Edge tea Christy! Let’s get a costar on and hear the true Hollywood story 😊.
YIKES
No amount of rebranding can save your solo podcast. “Hollywood’s Iconic Big Sister” 🙄 Come on, babe. My friends and I are young millennials and literally none of us liked your role on Even Steven’s.. I don’t even think you did either. Podco is a cute name, but I’d ditch Iconic and the Ned’s Rewatch and focus on the others. Jen and David are great in the Wizards Rewatch and Anneliese is a brilliant choice in cohost for Big Name. If you put energy into a couple of projects instead of trying to pull off so much at once you could actually get the ratings/views you want 😘
