The Cost of Childhood Stardom and Staying Sane in Hollywood with Raven-Symoné | Ep 229 HTBITY

Raven-Symoné stopped by the studio, and from the second we sat down, it felt like two people who’ve seen a lot of the same Hollywood madness finally comparing notes. We talk about what it was like for her to grow up in the spotlight — from The Cosby Show to That’s So Raven — and how she managed to stay grounded when everything around her was chaos.
She opens up about lessons learned working on legendary sets, how fame shapes your sense of self, and what it really means to find your voice when the industry wants to define you. We also get into how Hollywood has changed — the good, the bad, and the overly “polished.”
It’s a funny, honest, and real conversation with someone who’s lived through the extremes of fame and somehow came out with more wisdom than ego.

About Raven-Symoné:
You know her from The Cosby Show, That’s So Raven, Dr. Dolittle, and The Cheetah Girls. She’s been acting since she was a kid and now co-hosts Tea Time with her wife, Miranda. Beyond being a TV icon, Raven’s got perspective — and she brings it here in a way that’s both hilarious and grounded.
