Speaker 3: Well, welcome to the Melrose Minute.
Speaker 4: We have another.
Speaker 3: Special guest with us this week.
Speaker 4: We have Colin Egglesfield.
Speaker 3: Melrose fans probably remember him from his appearance.
Speaker 4: He was a star on the Melrose reboot in two
Speaker 4: thousand and nine.
Speaker 3: That's how we came to know him, and that's how
Speaker 3: he came to be on The Melrose Minute.
Speaker 4: But he is so much more beyond Melrose to share
Speaker 4: with us, and we're so happy to have him here today.
Speaker 4: Thanks for coming, Colin.
Speaker 1: All the way from Dublin. Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: breaking the up for Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I'm here.
Speaker 6: My mom was born here, so I've got some roots
Speaker 6: and I'm scoping out my next retreats. So just checking
Speaker 6: out the yoga and the Somble healing and the cliffs
Speaker 6: of More and all that good stuff.
Speaker 4: Get to hear about.
Speaker 1: I saw that you had retreats coming up. Can you
Speaker 1: tell us about those?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: So, you know, I kind of went on this, uh,
Speaker 6: this health and wellness journey a few years ago after
Speaker 6: being diagnosed with cancer.
Speaker 5: At thirty two. Wow, I was actually.
Speaker 6: Working on all my children at the time, and I
Speaker 6: had been I was planning of going to medical school.
Speaker 5: That was what I thought I was going to be doing.
Speaker 6: And then when I was at college at the University
Speaker 6: of Iowa, I've heard on the radio, but come to
Speaker 6: the Model Search America. You can travel the world. So
Speaker 6: I went to this thing, and next thing you knew,
Speaker 6: I was in Mulan, Italy doing runway show. Armani and
Speaker 6: Barsace and you know, the likes of you were in
Speaker 6: the crowd, and I probably waved at you and I
Speaker 6: was walking down the runway.
Speaker 4: I wish I was in the crowd, very crowd.
Speaker 5: I say, yeah, I mean, you do look like a Versace.
Speaker 3: Model, Laura, right, yes, I'm always hearing a little mini version,
Speaker 3: a little miniver.
Speaker 4: Never never was model in my like possible list of
Speaker 4: things to do.
Speaker 6: I found myself in New York City, and you know,
Speaker 6: I'd always been kind of shy and introverted growing up.
Speaker 6: And my modeling agent started sending me on these commercial
Speaker 6: auditions and I started booking some of these things, but
Speaker 6: I was just, you know, incredibly nervous in front of
Speaker 6: the camera because I didn't have any experience. And she
Speaker 6: said why don't you take an acting class see if
Speaker 6: you like it. So I jumped into this acting class
Speaker 6: in New York City and absolutely fell in love with
Speaker 6: it and just felt like my career trajectory was going
Speaker 6: this way instead of this way. And I ended up
Speaker 6: booking this role on all my children, and six months
Speaker 6: into my three year contract, was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Speaker 6: And so it was like the most exciting time of
Speaker 6: my life, but also the most scary because you never
Speaker 6: think you're going to hear those words.
Speaker 5: And when I did, I was thirty two.
Speaker 6: You know, I'd always tried to work out and eat healthy,
Speaker 6: and so you know, it was like this, you know,
Speaker 6: it's kind of like that denial. But I had to
Speaker 6: have surgery radiation treatment, and so I hid this from
Speaker 6: everyone in my cast because at the time, it's guy stuff,
Speaker 6: it's testicular I mean, I don't want to the public
Speaker 6: to know about this stuff. And after a few weeks
Speaker 6: of of showing up on set having the radiation treatment,
Speaker 6: I just I was just feeling weak and sweaty and
Speaker 6: just and not great. And I didn't want my my
Speaker 6: my producers and the director to think I'd gone out
Speaker 6: and was partying all night and my director came up
Speaker 6: to me and he said, you don't you don't look
Speaker 6: so good, and I just I, honestly from trying to
Speaker 6: hold it all in, I just broke down and I
Speaker 6: I just told him I I was going through this
Speaker 6: cancer experience and had radiation treatment.
Speaker 5: And he was like, an idiot, why didn't you tell us?
Speaker 5: Like why would you hold something.
Speaker 4: Like this in?
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is what I guess the big reason why
Speaker 6: I now talk about it because I know how lonely
Speaker 6: it can be and how scary it can be to
Speaker 6: go through this experience on your own. And a year
Speaker 6: later the cancer came back, had to have another surgery,
Speaker 6: and so I've been pretty adamant about my checkups and
Speaker 6: early detection, so thankfully because I've been going yearly. And
Speaker 6: this is why I would say anyone out there, if
Speaker 6: you haven't seen your doctor in a.
Speaker 5: While, get it checked out. Guys. Prostate PSA's it's an
Speaker 5: easy blood test.
Speaker 6: Women obviously you know it's you know, breast cancer is
Speaker 6: the number one diagnosed cancer for women. So early detection
Speaker 6: can really help. And for me, thankfully now I'm fifty two,
Speaker 6: I was getting my my yearly checkups and they discovered
Speaker 6: that I had a high PSA and got a biopsy
Speaker 6: and sure enough it was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year.
Speaker 6: So I just had surgery about two months ago for process.
Speaker 2: Again, incredible, it came back after all of these years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a different kind.
Speaker 6: It is different kind, but yeah, I have to go
Speaker 6: through this now for a third time. Wow, I'm grateful
Speaker 6: and I I'm just so grateful that I've I'm here
Speaker 6: to be able to talk about this and just share
Speaker 6: this experience. So I guess in long answer to your question, Courtney,
Speaker 6: I've been trying to put together some health and wellness
Speaker 6: support groups and it turned into these retreats. So I've
Speaker 6: got one in Scottsdale, Arizona, coming up April third through
Speaker 6: the seventh, and it's open to the public, men and women,
Speaker 6: and we do all kinds of things.
Speaker 4: Who's it for, Colin?
Speaker 2: Who is it for people who are ill or people?
Speaker 2: Is it also about your motivation speaking? Or is it
Speaker 2: health and wellness are all tight en er?
Speaker 7: What is it?
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's for anyone who's looking to I mean
Speaker 6: essentially anyone anyone who's looking to come to have a
Speaker 6: weekend of rejuvenation, relaxation, meet some like minded people. We
Speaker 6: have a hot whole lineup of guest speakers talking about
Speaker 6: health and wellness. We have a doctor talking about hormone
Speaker 6: therapy and hormones in general, entrepreneurs, mindfulness. I do a
Speaker 6: talk about resiliency, and I teach some communication, some corporate
Speaker 6: consultancy communication where I teach a lot of what we
Speaker 6: learned enacting classes to corporations to improve people's communication. And
Speaker 6: so it's a weekend of coming together. We do hikings, yoga,
Speaker 6: sound bowl, healing, tai chi. We've got a dance contest
Speaker 6: on Saturday night, and we're going to be airing the
Speaker 6: it's a sneak preview screening of my next film called
Speaker 6: Where the Wind Blows on Sunday night.
Speaker 4: Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 1: We should go.
Speaker 5: Amazing.
Speaker 1: I love that you're talking about that experience when you
Speaker 1: were younger, because it's such a strange thing when we
Speaker 1: get all the embarrassment, like why would you have been
Speaker 1: embarrassed for shame? But it's as if and it's inter
Speaker 1: just because you started with I was fed, I was athletic,
Speaker 1: I did all these things as if you didn't deserve
Speaker 1: to have cancer, right, it's we sort of say, we
Speaker 1: feel like it's our fault when something like that happens,
Speaker 1: and then we get embarrassed. But I love that they
Speaker 1: paid attention and you opened yourself up and they were
Speaker 1: so kind to you, because it's so important to be
Speaker 1: able to talk about it becau when you're hiding it
Speaker 1: anything like this, it makes it so much worse.
Speaker 4: And it's also really incredible that you were just muscling
Speaker 4: up and just.
Speaker 3: Like being so I can't imagine how hard that must
Speaker 3: have been to try to show up to do a
Speaker 3: job and not just any job, but a job where
Speaker 3: you have to be on camera and you're trying to
Speaker 3: like put on a good face and you're going through
Speaker 3: one of the heaviest, hardest, scariest things ever and alone,
Speaker 3: and like, it's just incredible that you were just you know,
Speaker 3: forcing yourself to try to do that and be strong
Speaker 3: and stuff.
Speaker 1: And it's so proper where you also have to be
Speaker 1: gorgeous and do thirty pages of dialogue in a day.
Speaker 6: That's insane that my shirt off and these scenes and
Speaker 6: both my radiation treatments. But I'll tell you one thing
Speaker 6: that really got me through it was you know with
Speaker 6: my with our acting training, having to play these roles
Speaker 6: that we do to decide who your character is and
Speaker 6: what their objective is.
Speaker 5: I decided to just apply.
Speaker 6: Some of that that same type of perspective to what
Speaker 6: I was going through in the sense that when you're
Speaker 6: diagnosed with something like this, a lot of the times
Speaker 6: you can allow a diagnosis or your outside circumstances dictate
Speaker 6: how you feel about it. And what I learned from
Speaker 6: our acting experience is you've got to decide who your
Speaker 6: character is so that when you walk into that audition
Speaker 6: or you walk in onto set, you're actually communicating to
Speaker 6: the world who this character is instead of being more
Speaker 6: reactive to what your circumstances are. And so I was like, well,
Speaker 6: who do I choose to be in the face of
Speaker 6: all of this? Do I Am I going to let
Speaker 6: this defeat me and get me pressed and worried? Or
Speaker 6: can I choose to be, you know, resilient and courageous
Speaker 6: and what would Maximus do in Gladiator in this moment?
Speaker 6: And so I started channeling some of these characteristics so
Speaker 6: much so that when I was going to Sloan Kettering
Speaker 6: Hospital every month for my checkups, I would stand outside
Speaker 6: of the building in front of you know, New York City,
Speaker 6: and I would just be like.
Speaker 5: Are you not enginetained? And people by like, who's that
Speaker 5: crazy guy?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 6: But just you know, you got to pondure up whatever
Speaker 6: works for you that gives you that that courage and
Speaker 6: that strength to be able to move through something so
Speaker 6: scary and disempowering.
Speaker 5: And that's what I try to share with people.
Speaker 2: Colin. Isn't also the part of the wellness that you're
Speaker 2: also bringing to people, also the vulnerability, also space for rest,
Speaker 2: also the other aspect because it's not a gladiator situation
Speaker 2: all the time.
Speaker 5: Yep, yep.
Speaker 6: It's such a good point that you bring up the
Speaker 6: after you because, especially as guys, we don't necessarily want
Speaker 6: to admit when we're struggling or when we need help.
Speaker 6: And most of the time I think we just try
Speaker 6: to make sure that we're not bothering other people or
Speaker 6: being a nuisance. But what I learned was by keeping
Speaker 6: this all to yourself, not only do you stay isolated
Speaker 6: and alone in this experience, you deny other people the
Speaker 6: opportunity to show up for.
Speaker 5: You, to be.
Speaker 6: Giving and supportive and to create more of these authentic
Speaker 6: friendships and bonds. And as soon as I started telling
Speaker 6: people what I was going through on all my children, Man,
Speaker 6: I've never seen so many people show up to say, Hey,
Speaker 6: do you want me to go with you to your
Speaker 6: doctor's appointments or to your radiation treatments or whatever. And
Speaker 6: I was like, actually, that would be great. And so
Speaker 6: by sharing this and opening up, you know, you don't
Speaker 6: have to be needy in the experience, but you can
Speaker 6: confidently and from an empowered space tell people what you
Speaker 6: need and that and.
Speaker 4: Then accept it and let it in, let the love in.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that creates I.
Speaker 2: Know you talk about heart space, you talk about communication
Speaker 2: from the heart on your I was looking at some
Speaker 2: of your reels, which I love because you don't expect
Speaker 2: that from someone looking like you and having had the
Speaker 2: career and being in charge, and it was like, whoa, Wow,
Speaker 2: that's a whole other level of wisdom.
Speaker 4: I think that you can share with people.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't you say?
Speaker 6: Our acting, though, has enabled us to to be more
Speaker 6: open about our feelings and our emotions, and you have
Speaker 6: to be to channel all the crap and life into
Speaker 6: our work.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but it can be a double edged sword
Speaker 1: because I think yes, we have to stay open and
Speaker 1: vulnerable for our work. But I know when I was
Speaker 1: younger and more recognizable, it was harder for me to
Speaker 1: be authentic and honest because I felt like I was
Speaker 1: maintaining this persona. And I remember when my dad was
Speaker 1: very sick and I finally allowed myself to start telling
Speaker 1: the truth about it instead of trying to maintain this persona.
Speaker 1: And so many said, oh, I had that experience, I
Speaker 1: had that experience, that had that experience, and suddenly what
Speaker 1: was separating me? You know, I love the term, there's
Speaker 1: a term where sick as our secrets, and I would
Speaker 1: say it was as separate as separate as our secrets, right,
Speaker 1: Like we're hiding it, we're trying to maintain this and
Speaker 1: like you said, you're not giving people a chance to
Speaker 1: show up for you. But you're also not allowing yourself
Speaker 1: to be authentic. You're separating yourself from the moment. So
Speaker 1: I'm so touched by that moment when you allowed yourself
Speaker 1: to be seen as you really were and allowed yourself
Speaker 1: to accept that help, right.
Speaker 3: And so much of who you are and how you've
Speaker 3: handled everything that's come your way is so inspiring.
Speaker 4: And you have been.
Speaker 3: As long, I mean as long as I've known you,
Speaker 3: and clearly your whole life.
Speaker 4: You're not just one thing. You were not just an actor.
Speaker 4: You were so many things.
Speaker 3: Even while you know, while you were dealing with cancer
Speaker 3: and recovery and healing, you were always very entrepreneurial and
Speaker 3: there were so many other things that you were pursuing
Speaker 3: and that you were focused on, and you've always had
Speaker 3: other business interests, And I love that you've channeled all
Speaker 3: of those things about who you are and you're bringing
Speaker 3: your message and healing to other people, and it's just
Speaker 3: such a wonderful thing to share.
Speaker 4: You're so cool, Colin.
Speaker 3: You just have so many cool things going on, and
Speaker 3: you're very inspiring.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I'm sorry you've gone through and are
Speaker 1: going through. You have gone through and are going through.
Speaker 1: But I also feel like the right person was chosen
Speaker 1: because you're turning it around and using it for good
Speaker 1: and using it to connect to people. You could use
Speaker 1: it to stay in the shame in the dark, but
Speaker 1: you're using it to step out and connect and lead
Speaker 1: the way to say you can go through it this way.
Speaker 1: Like one of the things I've been looking at in
Speaker 1: my own life A lot is the story I tell
Speaker 1: about what's happening to me, Like there's a thing that happened,
Speaker 1: and there's a story I tell. And how I can
Speaker 1: change the story, which is what you were talking about,
Speaker 1: You sort of change your character. And I would say,
Speaker 1: I can always change the story. I don't have to
Speaker 1: say this is bad. I can say this is interesting,
Speaker 1: this is different. And you're literally utilizing this difficult thing
Speaker 1: to connect. It's such a wonderful example for people.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I actually I wrote a book a few
Speaker 6: years ago called Agile Artist Life Lessons from Hollywood and Beyond.
Speaker 6: I talk about the experience of going through this cancer journey.
Speaker 6: And I actually I lived through the whole nine to
Speaker 6: eleven experience as well. I was living across the street
Speaker 6: when the planes hit and saw.
Speaker 5: Colin and when.
Speaker 6: The first tower fell, I was one of the people
Speaker 6: running down the street and I couldn't get back to
Speaker 6: my place for a few days. And once I did,
Speaker 6: it looked like the windows were blown in. It looked
Speaker 6: like a bomb had blown up in my apartment. And
Speaker 6: I just I always think of that day and it
Speaker 6: always reminds me of no matter how crappier life, for
Speaker 6: your day might be going there's always someone who has
Speaker 6: something or some challenge that they're going through that may
Speaker 6: be worse than yours, or and or they were, they're
Speaker 6: not even here to be able to experience another day
Speaker 6: to pursue their dreams and their goals. And so at
Speaker 6: twenty seven years old, when I experienced that whole thing,
Speaker 6: I'd been studying acting for a couple of years, but
Speaker 6: the idea of going out to Hollywood to pursue this
Speaker 6: crazy acting dream was like, well, who am I to
Speaker 6: think that I could do that? And after that experience,
Speaker 6: I realized the only thing that was holding me back
Speaker 6: was my fear of what other people might think, or
Speaker 6: my fear of failure. And that experience made me realize
Speaker 6: that I feel like I had a second chance at life,
Speaker 6: and that if you ever think about if you were
Speaker 6: one of those people trapped up on the top of
Speaker 6: those towers and someone said, Okay, I'm going to give
Speaker 6: you a second chance at life, would you let anything
Speaker 6: stop you from going after.
Speaker 5: What you care about?
Speaker 6: Tell that person you love them, that you love them fully,
Speaker 6: you know, because tomorrow is not guaranteed. And I think
Speaker 6: that's the philosophy that's really helped me go into It's
Speaker 6: incredible a lot of the challenges that we face in life,
Speaker 6: and that at the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 6: if you're for me at least, if I'm not pursuing
Speaker 6: my goals or my dreams, and if not, if I'm
Speaker 6: not being authentic to who I who I am and
Speaker 6: pursuing purpose, I feel like why are we here? Then
Speaker 6: you know what's what's the point? And so that's just
Speaker 6: what I've been trying to pay.
Speaker 4: I'm going to your retreats.
Speaker 5: You just told me I'm there.
Speaker 2: So sts Tail is April third to seventh, and Ireland
Speaker 2: is May twenty second to twenty sixth, correct Iland. I
Speaker 2: would love to be a part of your stuff, honestly,
Speaker 2: I I that's just such an organic, amazing journey with
Speaker 2: this gift of one life that we have.
Speaker 4: It's really amazing.
Speaker 1: And did you decide to do these retreats because you
Speaker 1: thought it was something you'd want to do? Like, are
Speaker 1: you guessed at the retreat or are these retreats that
Speaker 1: you have organized and you've created?
Speaker 6: So I was invited to speak at a retreat Intulu,
Speaker 6: Mexico like three years ago, and so a woman had
Speaker 6: organized it and got down there and there was yoga
Speaker 6: and steam baths and it was just an amazing few
Speaker 6: days of complete strangers coming together. By the end, you've
Speaker 6: got these authentic connections and bonds and it's spiritually and
Speaker 6: mentally physically rejuvenating. And it was like, Man, I'd love
Speaker 6: to do this back in the States, and so I've
Speaker 6: rented an airbnb in Scottsdale now for the third year
Speaker 6: in a row, and we just we put on these
Speaker 6: events and now we're doing Ireland. So it's slowly expanding

Speaker 1: people that you retreat, who are all bonded and they're

Speaker 6: thank you for when I was working on Melrose's Place.
Speaker 6: It was right after I had gotten off All My
Speaker 6: Children and my three year contract on All my Children
Speaker 6: was not renewed, and.
Speaker 5: I thought, well, yeah.
Speaker 6: Everyone on the soap opera the contracts were renewed, and
Speaker 6: I played the transplanted, unaboarded fetus of Erica Caine All
Speaker 6: my Children, so.
Speaker 5: I was.
Speaker 6: Biological son of Ju's character. And after three years of that,
Speaker 6: my contract was not renewed and I was just like
Speaker 6: in this place of like self doubt and like, you know,
Speaker 6: my horrible actor and whatever on I when I was
Speaker 6: hired on melrose Place, I just remember you always being
Speaker 6: so gracious and so friendly, and I was intimidated at
Speaker 6: first when I first met you, but you were just
Speaker 6: so sweet, so kind, and you just made me feel
Speaker 6: so welcomed on set.
Speaker 5: So I just want to say thank you for that.
Speaker 3: Oh You're amazing, Colin, And I just remember thinking you
Speaker 3: were the coolest person who had so many layers and
Speaker 3: so many more things going on than just acting. You know,
Speaker 3: we were there to do this goofy show, and and
Speaker 3: we're fellow Midwesterners, you know, so I remember bonding over
Speaker 3: you being from Chicago, and you remember that I'm from
Speaker 3: Iowa City, Iowa, which is where you went to college
Speaker 3: at the U of I.
Speaker 4: Right, So go Hawks, I mean, you know, for everybody
Speaker 4: else out.
Speaker 6: There, and Jephane Corney, my sister is incredibly jealous that
Speaker 6: I'm getting to talk to you right now because growing
Speaker 6: up we used to watch Melose Place her and her girlfriends,
Speaker 6: and of course she had hot girlfriends.
Speaker 5: So I was like, I watch that show would actually
Speaker 5: go to bars.
Speaker 6: They would show them at bars, so they'd have these
Speaker 6: viewing parties and I'm like, oh my god, these girls
Speaker 6: are so hot.
Speaker 4: Like this is.
Speaker 1: So when you did the reboot, did it feel like
Speaker 1: was there a lot of build up? Did it feel
Speaker 1: like we're going to restart Meloy's Place, We're gonna do
Speaker 1: seven thousand episodes. It's gonna be amazing. Is that how felt?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Like we just won the lottery.
Speaker 7: Yeah, wait a minute, how come people are watching like
Speaker 7: they first of we'll.
Speaker 2: Call when I walked on that side because I did
Speaker 2: a few episodes. Did anyone point out that the pool
Speaker 2: was in the wrong direction, like my apartment conversation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the pool is like duh.
Speaker 3: I mean, of course the show's not gonna you know,
Speaker 3: the pools in the wrong That was.
Speaker 1: The real problem and killing Sydney like.
Speaker 4: Dance member.
Speaker 1: You know, we talk a lot about when we're doing
Speaker 1: the reboot with the rewatch. It started really slow, and
Speaker 1: I felt like the reboot it was just like crazy
Speaker 1: from the get before I even knew who anybody was,
Speaker 1: like stuff was, people were dying.
Speaker 5: Are the hest.
Speaker 7: It was like, Look, it's like just a couple of
Speaker 7: cool kids in an apartment complex getting to know each other,
Speaker 7: Like can we just maybe have folks on the relationships?
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, it did start up.
Speaker 2: You never know how a show is going to go.
Speaker 6: How long.
Speaker 3: I don't even remember how long that reboot lasted.
Speaker 4: I know it was just one season, and I try.
Speaker 1: To say thirteen episodes on our.
Speaker 3: Yeah, may have just been thirteen sheep, yeah, and then
Speaker 3: just yeah, no more but eye one day we'll do
Speaker 3: a real one.
Speaker 2: But you through it, and you've lived through a lot
Speaker 2: more than that. And again, I'm just going to reiterate,
Speaker 2: it's so inspiring to have someone take life and what
Speaker 2: it's given to you turn it into and stay focused
Speaker 2: on your full potential and your heart's desire and following
Speaker 2: and that giving to others and sharing who you are
Speaker 2: such a huge part of it. It's that right there
Speaker 2: is you know goals over here. So I think that's
Speaker 2: really wonderful.
Speaker 6: You guys do the very same thing, and you know
Speaker 6: the fact that you guys are here bringing people together
Speaker 6: and providing a platform to share.
Speaker 1: We do the really important work, Colin, and.
