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. Joy shares why she knew she had to tell this story, the parts of her own lived experience she poured into its pages, and who the “invisible women” are that she dedicates the story to. 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! And don’t miss Joy's mini rapid-fire “Hot Takes & Hangouts” interview, our part 2 to this conversation where she’s answering burning fan questions, dropping Thursday, October 29!
