growing up in hollywood with Alyson Stoner

Gather ‘round this week as Alyson Stoner joins the circle! As someone who grew up acting in many of my favorite TV shows and movies, Alyson tells us what it was really like for them to be in the spotlight at such a young age. We discuss everything from the long term effects it’s had, to what their favorite and least favorite set to be on was.

as a "tomboy" girl growing up, i thought alyson was the absolute coolest person ever and their roles in tv/movies made me feel happy with who i was, so glad to see theyre healthy & doing well 🥹

[@hoibsh21]

Her roles you mean. Her roles in tv/movies. So glad to see she's healthy and doing well. Review yr grammar book.

[@ThatLaurenThing]

As a Cheaper by the Dozen TWO stan this really hits for me

[@kikiwells69]

YES SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS. Cheaper by the dozen two supremacy

[@k-lady00]

She is so well spoken. Such a great advocate for a focus in the industry that is so needed. Protect those children ALYSON!

[@jayroman]

Alyson's pronouns are they/them 🤍

[@sarahwinters6052]

im so relieved that she had a good experience with phineas and ferb bc i think my dreams would otherwise be crushed

[@mo_nicole]

Also would love some more well spoken guests on your podcast, I’m sure you guys are out there looking for them but in case you’re wondering what resonates with your audience this is it. I love fun and silly but I also want more of theseeees

[@xoviolet32]

I’ve been consistently watching dear hollywood and this crossover is so incredible omg

[@lilylaughlin8752]

Love her honest and mature perspective on a flawed industry

[@faithvanessa6528]

Watching Dear Hollywood has been so cathartic as an actor. Thank you Kelsey for interviewing this lovely human!

[@wanderinggstars]

Alyson talking about their experience with having to not let yourself get attached to people reminds me of things I felt having to move a lot as a kid. not trusting that people will stay in your life.

[@rachelbuck5673]

Alysons voice is so soothing because it reminds me of my childhood 🥲

[@gabbyjohnson]

can she be a permanent co host ? 😭 i love this duo

[@kaitlynhumbert2103]

Growing up, I wanted to be Alyson Stoner because I wanted to be a backup dancer for Missy Elliott. Alyson was a main driver for why I got into competitive dance. When they touched on their perfectionism and competitive nature, that hit home for me. I loved this EP!

[@jaelasnyder]

this crossover goes HARD

[@alisonfields4688]

It’s so interesting to hear that she felt like she wasn’t as educated since she graduated so young; it definitely makes sense that she would feel that way, but it’s surprising because just from the way she speaks it’s so apparent that it’s not the case. As someone who graduated at 18, I didn’t feel that high school even taught me anything useful, and I know Alyson is far more knowledgeable than I am!

[@writerchick94]

It sounfs like they took a lot of steps and time and effort to educate themselves so its never too late!

[@choosehappy9224]

Now THIS is a guest I know. Love the pod always!

[@MyNameIs21Characters]

We love intelligent educated women having elevated discussions. Thank u Kelsey !!

[@mariamacias3949]

I love how you listen and let her speak her truth Kelsey you’re amazing 🫶🏼

[@MeelaMeela000]

I haven’t even watched the episode and I audibly gasped. Alison fucking Stoner!!! So cool Kelsey.

[@MeelaMeela000]

Alyson*

[@katierose6703]

Obsessed with this duo. Loved learning more about the industry and protecting the kids. Such a good pod

[@Estrellita_912]

Hell ya wasn’t expecting this, woo. yay go Kelsey, that’s a big guest! 🎉❤

[@lindsaygilbert1296]

I could have listened to hours and hours of this. So good! I was captivated the entire time. So many important conversations were had. Great job!

[@NICHANnel]

Iconic moment and collab

[@ManicMama.]

I was so surprised to see Alyson Stoner on here!! I loved her growing up!!

[@BerkeleyStocking-yk6wl]

Love everything about this. Such an important conversation to have!

[@trinitymulholland8832]

i’ve always loved the question end segment of circle time but this episode was particularly so sweet with orange and peach :’)

[@SwimSweetie100]

Not an actor, but I can relate to when Alyson talks about needing to shut it off when you leave work. The ability to do this is SO important, even in more typical jobs. I’ve gotten to a place where I can do this now and it is so much healthier rather than being obsessed with work 24/7

[@katrens]

such important messages, great way to use both their platforms ❤️

[@mo_nicole]

Circle time team I have a request!!!!! Can you guys start linking companies/projects/websites/books/places etc. that your interviewers mention? Alyson mentions a company she co-founded around 28:00 and I would love to know more, but can’t seem to find it! If it’s not too much trouble, maybe start putting link in description? thank you guys so much for everything you do already. I love you all! Love you marsh!!!

[@astod1453]

I think they're talking about Movement Genius, she co-founded the org and it's a great resource !!

[@isabelbarganier2455]

LOVED this ep!!

[@juliem2256]

loved this! I hadn't heard about Alyson's podcast and had no idea they're digging so deep into the industry. Love it!!

[@why1389]

What an incredible, eye-opening and important episode. Thank you Kelsey and Alyson!

[@dux14]

The ultimate crossover! This was such a great episode.

[@lijntje266]

i love this so much thank you both for being such strong and loving people :D

[@jasminev7595]

very excited about this episode! on spotify however when you hit play it plays a completely different podcast not from circle time at all

[@jasminec_]

two of my faves! yes! so excited for this one

[@spookeymo]

I've been watching her podcast, I'm so happy you talked to her!

[@sharonsullivan1495]

Ohhh..so exciting. First letter of her first name..please..so happy for you both. ❤

[@alisonfields4688]

i didn’t know this channel existed until seeing a clip on tiktok but i love this

[@rayrunn]

I LOVE THEM

[@hannahbananaslut]

the speed dating for talent scouts was SPOT ON.. such a weird thing to experience at a young age.

[@sarahwinters6052]

this is actually the crossover i never knew i needed

[@alexipacquin]

Like like like like LOVE! ❤❤❤

[@kelseylovesart]

Before Alyson even gave her answers i said to myself I'm feeling 'peach' and my thoughts are moving at '60 out of 100'

[@jamied8717]

Not to take away from the content but I can't get over how much these beautiful ladies sound so alike

[@aprilpalm5546]

Loveeeeddd this episode!

[@dd4850]

I had a huge crush on Alyson im Cheaper by the Dozen when I was also a kid… now that I watch it as an adult I want to protect her because the way they treated that character could not have been healthy for any kid to act

[@sambino62]

great episode kelsey

[@Yeodoongiiie]

dear hollywood podcast is awesome!!!! it really is something everyone should watch! 💕

[@dux14]

I need a part 2 for this episode 😅😭

[@aeofaiosda]

I wish Kelsey had prepared more and had better questions and conversation prompts because Alyson is so smart and knows so much. I feel like Alyson was running this whole episode which is like inviting them on to do all the labor lol I really enjoy their podcast and this didn't feel like it went any deeper

[@wooDebbiedoo]

yea I thought the same thing, could've prepared better

[@dinealone0]

at least from the child development standpoint!

[@liaaca]

This was a nice intro for people unfamiliar with Alyson and their podcast. Hopefully Alyson’s second visit would elaborate

[@grace-gilly]

kelsey did a great job with questions and creating an environment where alyson felt comfortable to speak freely. this isn’t alysons podcast so it’s going to be different

[@goldengateway9652]

I feel like this interview flows so well because Kelsey and Alyson stoner both have a Sagittarius north node which means “your soul's journey involves a quest for higher understanding and wisdom. You are meant to embrace a lifelong journey of learning and personal growth through education, travel, and the pursuit of truth. Adventurous Spirit”

[@softeyesworld]

Love this

[@gracejenson]

I love circle time 🥹

[@alejandraguzman9842]

oh you ate with this guest fr

[@the55midge]

i’m convinced that they are best friends now

[@spider-mantobeymaguirefanc9469]

Alyson Stoner is my childhood I’m in love since her tv shows movies

[@brookemelton7509]

I’m a 4th grade teacher and Phineas and Ferb is our go to indoor recess show. We need a Candace teaches digital citizenship video!

[@Xyzhereh]

great watch :)

[@mleharvey]

I was waiting for her to bring up cheaper by the dozen the entire time

[@angelica1887]

How am I just finding out you have a podcast omg

[@hollyk7052]

My super short show was !!!!!!

[@denissemeza9576]

I GUESSED ORANGE FOR KELSEY 🤣

[@elisepatterson7869]

I think Alyson uses they/them pronouns now x I'm happy they feel comfortable being themselves

[@girlwithpearls98]

Comments, who do y’all think the influencer was

[@baileymurphyy]

Ummmm idk why but there’s an entirely different podcast file on Apple Podcasts

[@steelex44]

YESSSSS QUEER REPRESENTATION ON CIRCLE TIMEEEEEEEEE

[@breaht9321]

anyone else having trouble listening to it on Apple podcasts???

[@charlottekurz6086]

I’m having issues with it on Spotify! And people on the Instagram page said they were having issues on Apple as well!

[@sarahwinters6052]

ISABELLA GARCIA SHAPIRO

[@userr6959]

[@userr6959]

[@dylanbradford8398]

PHINUS N PHERB!!???

[@parkerneathery829]

Ooh girl. They’re going 90, but if you’re like me, they’ll stop going straight and start bouncing off the wall.

[@PeacePants04]

Loved this episode! Just a reminder that Alyson uses they/them pronouns!

[@livvarghese7711]

lols kinda disappointing that Kelsey is using she/her pronouns in the description like cmon man 😅

[@Kelly-cp8nv]

yea boosting this! im sure it was an honest mistake, hopefully we can get their attention with this comment though!

[@katek8311]

I watched their whole Podcast series and didnt catch that, wow. Thanks for informing!

[@jessgirr1728]

🙄

[@PeacePants04]

Just saw the description was changed! Thanks to everyone for boosting this and thanks to Kelsey for changing it!

[@maddiesharpe7118]

Pov: the week Alyson learns the term “both and”😭😂

[@dinealone0]

you could start each episode with guests introducing themselves AND their preferred pronouns :-)

[@trudy9127]

Alyson uses they/them pronouns!!
