About

Hi, I'm Christy.

You might know me as Kim Possible, as Ren Stevens, or as the girl who grew up on your television screen. What you probably didn't see was everything happening off camera.

I've spent the last few years telling the truth about all of it, the falling apart and the putting back together, through my writing, my podcasts, and now a memoir I never thought I'd be brave enough to publish.

This is where all of it lives. The work, the words, and what's next.

The Memoir

Once Upon a Trainwreck

Simon & Schuster · October 6, 2026

The fall and rise of a child star, in her own words. The stories you heard rumors about, and a whole lot you never did.

"I'm probably crazy for sharing these embarrassing details of my life. But if it can help even one person in a bad situation, then it's worth it."
