On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy discusses why we all need a '90s kind of summer. Nostalgia is having a major moment, and fascination with the '90s has only grown over the past year. Maybe it’s because we crave simpler times. Maybe it’s because we want to reconnect with some of our favorite memories. Tommy reflects on what made summers in the ’90s so special, from carefree days and unplugged adventures to the sense of being wild and free. He also shares ways we can recapture that magic today and bring a little more of that nostalgic '90s summer spirit into our lives.

On this episode of “Tommy Talk,” Tommy discusses something we all continue to fight for: trying to stay focused on what we CAN control instead of getting consumed by what we can’t. When we spend too much time worrying about things outside our control, we end up missing out on the life happening right in front of us. The constant spiraling. The anxiety. The hyper fixation on worst case scenarios. So today Tommy is sharing some very specific (and realistic) things he does to avoid that spiral and stay grounded in what he can actually influence. Because while we can’t control everything life throws our way, we can control where we place our attention, and that can make all the difference.
