In a lengthy Instagram post, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley revealed that she lost her voice two years ago while performing at her annual Alzheimers fundraiser in Nashville. She further revealed that she recently surgery to address an ongoing issue with her laryngeal nerve.

“It’s been a challenging couple of years, but we finally got to the bottom of it,” Paisley said in a message to her fans.
“I have damage to my laryngeal nerve. I tried everything I could to heal it (so thank you but please don’t give me any tips!). I was finally able to have surgery this week.”
“I haven’t wanted to share about this much until now because it felt too vulnerable. I took for granted my ability to “use my voice” before — for my career, for a good cause, for a timely joke, for SELF-EXPRESSION, for a loud dinner part,” she continued. “Instead, I’ve been the quietest in the room. I’ve felt meek. New people I’ve met thought I was a shy or reserved person. I’ve felt trapped in my body.”
Kimberly stated that she has been undergoing “all kinds of training” in an effort to regain her voice. She also thanked fans, as well as family and friends, for their support during the difficult time.
The mother of one then went into detail about her surgery, which left a formidable scar. “I watched a lot of it on a video screen above my head as it happened and all I can say is MODERN MEDICINE IS MIRACULOUS,’ she joked.
While her voice has yet to return to full strength, Paisley told fans that she has “found her voice” in other ways.
“I’ve healed old emotional wounds. I’ve learned the strength and beauty of silence. I’ve become a serious meditator. I’m deadlifting over a hundred pounds. I’m taking better care of my body. I’m managing stress. I’m dissolving shame. I’m feeling more whole, empowered and joyful,” she said.
