- For two years, the 'Father of the Bride' actress grappled with a voice disorder that made her feel 'trapped in her own body' and 'invisible', forcing her to turn down acting jobs and withdraw from loved ones.
- After undergoing a three-hour surgery known as medialization laryngoplasty, where her weak left vocal cord was moved closer to the right, Williams-Paisley's voice returned, and she now feels 'empowered' to use it without taking it for granted.
