Jennifer Garner says she panicked about money after her divorce. It inspired her career pivot at 45.
Jennifer Garner says her divorce from Ben Affleck made her rethink money and her Hollywood career — helping fuel her second act with Once Upon a Farm.
Jennifer Garner, 45, recounted on Emma Grede's Aspire podcast how her divorce from Ben Affleck inspired her to rethink her career. The former Hollywood star said she panicked about her financial future following the 2018 split. Garner explained her anxiety stemmed from Hollywood not guaranteeing increasing income for older women.
She emphasized the need to secure her own financial future and that of her children. Garner's newfound focus on money led her to explore entrepreneurship, including founding children's organic food company Once Upon a Farm in 2017. The company recently went public and Garner credits it for providing a new avenue for her career.
