How Maggie Q Went From Spending $0.75 per Day to Hollywood Stardom and a Wellness Empire

You’ve seen Maggie Q on the big screen in Mission Impossible III , Nikita , and now in the Bosch spin-off Ballard —but what you haven’t seen is the money hustle behind the scenes. Until now. Today, Maggie joins Nicole to share her extraordinary journey from being broke to building real wealth, financial independence, and a wellness empire. She opens up about the scrappy ways she saved money, how Jackie Chan changed her life, and the financial (and emotional) fallout of losing her home in a mudslide. Plus, she takes us inside the launch of her wellness brand, Activated You, and opens up about relationships, legacy, and the question of whether she wants to have kids.
