Jennie Garth

And this week's guest's new book, I Choose Me, chasing joy, finding purpose, and embracing reinvention might just be the spiritual literature needed for this journey.

She found fame in 1990 when she was cast as Kelly Taylor, the iconic, perfect on the surface, complicated underneath high schooler on Beverly Hills 90210, a cultural phenomenon that not only pushed Fox from laughing stock to powerhouse network, but sent everyone on the show into an orbit beyond fame.

She spent 10 years at Beverly High facing drug addiction, pregnancy, and amnesia, all while spending weekends at the Peach Pit and helping launch spinoffs like Melrose Place and Models Inc.

Wait, they were in high school for 10 years?

They went to college.

They went to Occidental.

Occidental was the location for their college.

Okay, good.

Yeesh.

Then rebooting it all to revisit the character in 2008 for the self-aware spinoff 90210.

She'd later co-star with Amanda Bynes on the sitcom What I Like About You and make it all the way to the semifinals with partner Derek Hough on season five of Dancing with the Stars.

Plus, she's a fellow podcaster with I Choose Me and her own rewatch endeavor 90210MG, both here at iHeart.

And she's an entrepreneur with her own lifestyle and clothing line sold exclusively on QVC.

And yes.

Her newest memoir slash self-help manifesto invites the reader into her real story of growing up on TV and facing Hollywood's impossible beauty standards, all while facing loss, heartbreak, and the challenge of motherhood.

She's seen it all, and now in her 50s, she's aging with confidence and just learning to put herself first.

Sounds familiar, right?

Well, let's commiserate now with our guest this week, a TV legend, Jenny Garth.

Hello, Ryder.
