    CALLINA LIANG on Becoming A Video Game Character, Mastering Nunchucks & Fighting for Representation

    This week, Tommy is joined by actress Callina Liang who plays the iconic character Chun-Li in the new Street Fighter movie. In this episode, Callina opens up about the emotional moment she broke down crying after her final Street Fighter auditions, the pressure of stepping into the shoes of one of gaming’s most beloved female fighters, and what it took to master the nunchucks in less than two weeks. She reveals the intense daily training routine and diet that helped her grow her thighs by more than six centimeters to authentically embody the character, her favorite scene to film, and the never-before-shared backstory she created for Chun-Li to help get into character. Plus, she shares what she did before filming her scenes with Bison, the process of bringing Chun-Li’s iconic costume to life, what she hopes to see in a potential sequel, the role she auditioned for in Fourth Wing, why some of the rejection she’s experienced throughout her career has felt deeply personal, her commitment to helping future generations of Asian actors get the fair shot they deserve, and so much more.

    Tommy Talk: YOU’RE ALLOWED TO OUTGROW YOUR OLD SELF

    On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” I’m opening up about a personal realization that sparked a much bigger conversation about identity, change and giving ourselves permission to evolve. From learning to distinguish what we genuinely want from what we’ve simply gotten used to wanting, to releasing the pressure to fulfill every dream our younger selves had, I'm exploring why changing our minds isn’t a failure, an identity crisis, or a betrayal of who we once were. It’s growth, maturity, and sometimes it’s freedom. This episode is your reminder that you’re allowed to want something different, let go of who you thought you were supposed to become, and embrace who you are today, without guilt, shame, or explanation.

    BETHANY JOY LENZ on 23 Years of One Tree Hill, Turning Pain Into Purpose & the Invisible Women.

    This week, Tommy is joined by actress and author Bethany Joy Lenz, who you know and love as Haley James Scott on One Tree Hill. Her new book, The Betrayal of Cora Wexford, is out now! In this episode, Joy opens up about celebrating 23 years of One Tree Hill, finally introducing the series to her daughter, the scenes she’s most excited (and least excited!) for her daughter to see, and what she’s most proud of from her work on the show. Then, we dive into her incredible new book and the deeply personal experiences that inspired it.

She also reflects on what it means to push aside your gut instincts even when something inside you is telling you otherwise, how to recognize manipulation and narcissistic behavior, her personal journey with grief, and why forgiveness doesn’t always mean the anger disappears overnight. Plus, she shares a big revelation about Taylor Swift and so much more!

    Tommy Talk: YOU CAN’T BE EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE...AND THAT’S OKAY

    Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to be everything to everyone, and why do we get so disappointed when the people in our lives don't show up exactly the way we expect them to? In this episode of Tommy Talk, Tommy opens up about the unrealistic expectations we place on ourselves and others, the guilt that comes with not always being able to show up for the people we love, and how these pressures can create unnecessary stress, disappointment, and resentment in our relationships. From missing family gatherings and struggling to balance busy schedules to feeling frustrated when others don't do things the way we would, Tommy explores why we can be so quick to judge without considering what someone else might be going through. He reflects on the importance of recognizing that everyone has different capacities, different ways of showing love, and different ways of navigating life. Just because someone doesn't call as often, miss a special occasion, or show up on our timeline doesn't necessarily mean they care any less. So how do we learn to communicate our needs instead of expecting others to read our minds? How do we distinguish between relationships that genuinely aren't serving us and the everyday imperfections that require a little more understanding? And how do we stop holding ourselves to impossible standards?  Subscribe, rate, and leave a written review if you enjoy this conversation!

    This week, Tommy is joined by reality TV royalty Heather Dubrow, who has been a fixture on The Real Housewives of Orange County for 10 seasons. In this episode, Heather gets candid about what made this season especially difficult, why returning to RHOC felt different after leaving the show, and why she believes her OG franchise is the best.

Heather also reveals the one thing she’s protective of showing on camera, which past-season fights she can finally laugh about after some time, and what she really wants to set the record straight about when it comes to “Paparazzi-Gate.” Plus, she shares why she will forever be a champion for the LGBTQ+ community, how her perspective on aging has shifted as she’s gotten older, why she’s giving fewer F’s as the years go by, and so much more!

    Tommy Talk: STOP WAITING FOR SOMETHING “BIG" TO BE HAPPY

    What if the happiness you’ve been chasing is already waiting for you in the life you’re living right now? In this episode of Tommy Talk, Tommy explores why we keep putting happiness on hold, waiting to be happy until something “big” happens. Why do we convince ourselves we’ll finally feel fulfilled when we get the promotion, find the relationship, achieve the goal, or reach the next big milestone? What happens when we become so focused on building the life we want that we forget to enjoy the life we already have? After turning 40 earlier this year, Tommy shares his own journey toward living more presently, finding joy in the seemingly ordinary moments, and breaking the cycle of constantly worrying about what comes next. He also explores why gratitude doesn’t mean ignoring life’s struggles, why we need to stop overlooking the little things that make life meaningful, and how learning to appreciate the present can change the way we experience our lives. Because one day we might look back and realize that the moments we were rushing through were the moments that mattered most.Subscribe, rate, and leave a written review if you enjoy this conversation!
