Jennie Garth on Negotiation Lessons From 90210 and Habits That Are Quietly Costing You

Jennie Garth went from working on bean fields for 25 cents an hour to buying her first home as a teenager after landing the role of Kelly Taylor in 90210. When she hit it big, people tried to tell her that she didn’t need to know about her finances. Today, she shares the money lessons she learned the hard way. Jennie and Nicole dig into the psychology behind money: why a scarcity mindset can literally choke off your income, what "Tall Poppy Syndrome" is and why high-achieving women keep cutting themselves down, and how negative self-talk about money doesn't just hurt you… it hurts your kids, too. Jennie also shares why she and her husband Dave don’t combine finances, how she’s embracing the “I Choose Me” philosophy, and the parenting advice she’d give any new mom.
