From Sally Brown to "Helga": Hilary Momberger Powers on Peanuts, Life's "Soup," and Staying in the Gray Zone

  1. From Sally Brown to "Helga": Hilary Momberger Powers on Peanuts, Life's "Soup," and Staying in the Gray Zone Richard Wilmore 21:51

I am so excited to be talking with Hilary Momberger Powers. You might recognize her voice—she started her career at just five years old as the voice of Sally Brown in the Peanuts cartoons!

Hilary shares the fascinating story of her life, which she describes as a ‘cauldron’ or ‘soup’ filled with the good, the bad, and everything in between.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The Early Years: What it was like to be a child voice actor for one of the most famous cartoon franchises in history.

  • The “Helga” Alter-Ego: Hilary explains her ‘turbo’ personality that she calls Helga and how she learned to embrace her.

  • Finding Gratitude: Why she spends every morning in bed practicing gratitude for even the smallest things.

  • Self-Acceptance: Why she stopped ‘driving in the rearview mirror’ and learned to Love the woman she has become.
