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. She opens up about why she feels some of the women are always waiting for her to fall, the moment she had to immediately shut down a comment made this season to protect her husband, and what she does when DMs land in her inbox containing potentially life-altering dirt on other cast members. 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! And don’t miss Heather's rapid-fire “Hot Takes & Hangouts” interview, our part 2 to this conversation where she’s answering burning fan questions, dropping Thursday, October 22!

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.

This week, Tommy is joined by actress Marina Squerciati, who you know and love as Detective Kim Burgess on Chicago P.D. In this episode, Marina opens up about why her and her character’s growth has been parallel over the course of the series, the one scene she would show someone who has never watched Chicago P.D., whether she created any elements of Kim’s backstory to help her get into character, and why she’s rooting for Kim and Adam Ruzek’s love story. She also reflects on the only times in her career when losing a role left her feeling defeated, why she was always willing to risk it all to become an actress, and what she considers one of Kim’s most defining moments. Plus, Marina shares how she navigates the show’s darker storylines, the one thing that genuinely scares her on set, a painful rejection that was hard to shake and what it taught her, why she sometimes feels like she’s failing as a mother, why she would never want her kids to become actors, why she’s learning to stop focusing on the things she doesn’t do well, and so much more.
