Kim Fields and Pamela Warner sit down for a raw, layered conversation about legacy, motherhood, and what it really takes to survive Hollywood without losing yourself. Kim shares how her mother, Chip Fields, laid the foundation for her career and her sanity, why she and her peers had to “design careers, not just book gigs,” and how she is now pouring into wellness, retreats, and world building beyond the camera. Pam Warner opens up about raising Malcolm-Jamal Warner in the industry, the difference between being famous and being grounded, and why your child’s welfare has to come before your ego, your dreams, or the money. She breaks down parenting a working actor, enforcing boundaries even when your child is the breadwinner, and the hard truths she wrote for other parents of “showbiz kids.” Together, Kim and Pam talk about: Aging out of Hollywood and creating new lanes Why some actors lose their minds when the phone stops ringing How village, accountability, and faith kept them anchored Parenting, power dynamics, and not stopping being “Mom” just because the checks are big Fame then vs fame now in the era of social media and “microwave” celebrity Wellness, grief, reinvention, and giving yourself permission to be well This is not just a Hollywood conversation. It is a masterclass on parenting, purpose, resilience, and building a life that is bigger than your job title or your last credit.
