    Tommy Talk: WHY YOUR TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

    On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy discusses why finally saying the things we’ve never said before, to a friend, a loved one, or even to ourselves, can be one of the most freeing things we ever do. We all have things we bury deep. But why do we do it? Maybe something feels too painful to relive. Maybe we’re afraid people will look at us differently once we reveal the things we’ve kept tucked away. Will we feel embarrassed? Will we feel like we’re playing the victim when we know other people are going through things we perceive as even worse? Will we feel naked and exposed? Or worst of all…will we feel judged? Admittedly, all of these thoughts have crossed my mind at different points in my life when I’ve wanted to share the things I’ve kept hidden with the people closest to me. And I know I’m not alone. Saying something out loud that you’ve never said before can feel terrifying. But it can also feel like returning a missing puzzle piece to your soul. In that moment you take a little piece of your power back. You push back against fear. You allow yourself to be seen. We all experience defining moments that shape who we become. We all hurt. And hopefully, we all heal.This episode is for anyone who has been carrying something quietly, debating whether to finally say it. Maybe the words are scary. Maybe they’re vulnerable. But maybe saying them is exactly what you need to finally feel a little lighter, a little freer, and a little more like yourself.

    Tracy Spiridakos on Going From Chicago P.D. to Glacier National Park & Why Her Glass Is Always Half Full

    This week, Tommy is joined by actress Tracy Spiridakos, who became a household name playing Detective Hailey Upton on Chicago P.D. Now, she’s trading the city for the wilderness, taking on the role of Anna Pigeon in USA Network’s Anna Pigeon, based on the bestselling novels. Anna is a law enforcement park ranger who solves dark mysteries and murders in the wilderness of Glacier National Park, all while trying to outrun her own past. Today, Tracy opens up about what she misses most about playing Hailey Upton, what she’s most proud of when it comes to the character, and the grieving process of saying goodbye to a role she loved so much. She reveals whether any of Hailey’s personality traits have stayed with her, if she was surprised that Hailey and Jay became one of the most beloved relationships in the One Chicago universe, and whether she would really do a spinoff with Jesse Lee Soffer. Tracy also shares why she knew she had to say yes to Anna Pigeon, what went into creating an entirely new character after playing Hailey for so long, and what she believes Anna is truly searching for in the wilderness. She opens up about how navigating her own grief helped her understand Anna on a deeper level, what her personal journey with grief has looked like, and the self-care practice that helped her through some incredibly stressful moments. Tracy also gets candid about rejection and why even the lowest moments of her career never made her want to quit acting. And don’t miss Tracy’s mini rapid-fire “Hot Takes & Hangouts” interview, dropping Thursday, August 13th! Subscribe, rate, and leave a written review if you enjoy this conversation!

She has three New York Times bestselling books, wildly successful podcasts, and a brand new show, House of Stassi, out now.

She also reveals the one non-negotiable she had before returning for House of Stassi, why she wanted Katie Maloney to appear on the show after their falling out, what it's really like balancing work and parenthood alongside her husband Beau Clark, how she navigates mom guilt, why both working moms and stay at home moms are superheros, what she hopes her children will one day be proud of, the biggest life lesson she's learned from her years on reality TV, the one aspiration she has absolutely no interest in pursuing, the unforgettable advice her grandmother gave her, and so much more.
