Former Disney Star Christy Carlson Romano and Brendan Rooney on Losing All the Disney Money, Healing Financial Trauma and Working With Your Spouse

[Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin]

You might think that Brendan Rooney, who had a "normal" middle-class childhood, enlisted in the Marines and then went to Columbia University would have very little in common with Christy Carlson Romano, former Disney Channel child star who, in her words, made millions of dollars— and lost them. And yet— they say their childhoods were not that different when it came to the hard financial lessons. Nicole sits down with Christy and Brendan, who run the podcast network Podco, and talk about what it's like being business partners with your romantic partner. Then, Christy talks about her financial journey after rocketing to superstardom so young, and how she made— and lost millions. We talk about when spending can turn into a form of self-harm, and her advice to anyone looking to build a healthier relationship with money.
