Summary
#901. If you grew up on Degrassi or 90210, buckle up — today’s episode is a full-on millennial nostalgia trip with actress and former teen TV icon Shenae Grimes-Beech.
Shenae gets real about what Hollywood in the 2000s was actually like: the career-making auditions, the surreal celebrity encounters, the pressure she hid behind the scenes, and the identity shift that came when she finally stepped back from it all. She also spills a few wild 2008-era stories (millennials, prepare to scream), and fills us in on life now — from being a mom of two, to her clothing line, to the new business venture she’s launching in 2026.
If you loved teen dramas, lived for the tabloid years, or just want an honest glow-up story… this episode is it!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
- (7:40) The pinch-me Hollywood moment — when Topher Grace recognizes her from billboards. The early 2000s fame surreality starts HERE.
- (18:30) The dark side of the 90210 era — paparazzi chaos, safety fears, and the moment she sat crying in her car because going home didn’t feel safe.
- (22:37) The wild John Mayer twist — rumors said they were dating… until she actually ran into him at Chateau Marmont.
- (43:19) The most toxic part of Hollywood — Shenae breaks down how your value becomes tied to your last success, and how that shaped (and messed with) her identity.
