In this landmark 100th episode of At the Podium, Patrick Huey sits down with Tembi Locke , New York Times bestselling author, actor, and producer, for a deeply personal conversation about love, loss, legacy, and what it takes to begin again.

Following the success of her acclaimed memoir and Netflix series From Scratch, Tembi returns with her new memoir Someday, Now—an intimate, audio-first work that explores midlife, remarriage, motherhood, and the quiet ache of letting a child step into her own future. Returning once more to Sicily, this time with her new husband and her daughter, Tembi reflects on grief that has changed shape, the courage required to integrate past and present, and the possibility of renewal after profound loss.

Together, Patrick and Tembi discuss the nature of time, the emotional terrain of the empty nest, blended family dynamics, and what it means to live fully inside change. It’s a conversation about presence over prediction, and about the legacies we build not only through what we leave behind, but through what we carry forward.

This episode is a reflection on becoming—and a reminder that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is stay with the questions.
