Jennie Garth: Beverly Hills 90210, mental health & dealing with fame

Jennie Garth is here! The way 90210 defined my childhood…this was more than nostalgic. We get into her new memoir I Choose Me and why she finally felt ready to share this version of herself. We go deep on 90210, from landing the role of Kelly Taylor, what that level of fame actually felt like, becoming a mom while filming, and how real life mirrored the drama on screen. She opens up about her surprising real first love, losing 2 cast members, her struggles with anxiety and depression before anyone was talking about it, and what rock bottom and recovery looked like. We also talk the mindset shifts that helped her find clarity and actually choose herself.
