Jennie Garth on Beverly Hills 90210, Depression & Reinvention

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Jennie Garth, actress, designer and author best known as Kelly Taylor on Beverly Hills, 90210, for an honest conversation about depression, divorce, motherhood and choosing yourself after 50. Jennie shares why she stopped hiding behind a happy face and started making room for a life that feels more like her. Diagnosed with depression at 18, Jennie opens up about medication, the shame she once carried and why she now speaks openly about her mental health. She and Kerstin discuss protecting sleep, setting work boundaries and quieting a racing mind. They also explore her approach to food, movement and getting back into an exercise routine after surgery. The conversation then turns to ME by Jennie Garth at QVC, her I Choose Me podcast and her book, I Choose Me: Chasing Joy, Finding Purpose & Embracing Reinvention. Jennie explains why she calls her 50s her “building decade” and reflects on the hardest part of telling her story: falling apart after divorce and piecing her life back together. Jennie also shares the emotional weight of caring for her mother, who has Alzheimer’s, and accepting that she cannot manage all of her care at home. Kerstin draws on her own caregiving experience as they discuss guilt and giving yourself grace. The episode closes with Jennie’s message about making time for yourself, pushing through self-doubt and learning to have your own back.
