Kimberly Williams-Paisley opens up about her “terrifying” and life-changing medical ordeal that left her barely able to speak for two years. The actress reveals how she inexplicably lost her voice, setting off a desperate search for answers and countless doctor visits. “So much of our personalities are expressed in our voice. My career—I'm an actor, a public speaker,” Kimberly shares. “When that’s gone, who am I?”

After a long and uncertain journey, vocal cord surgery (performed while the actress was awake) finally provided a glimmer of hope. Throughout it all, Kimberly’s husband, country music star Brad Paisley, stood by her side, offering unwavering support as she navigated the emotional and physical toll of her condition. In this candid interview, Kimberly shares the intimate details of her struggle, the impact it had on her life, and how she found the strength to heal.
