My guest today is Tricia Helfer — actress, model, and producer best known for her iconic roles in Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer, and a string of powerful roles across shows like Suits and Van Helsing. Born and raised on a farm in Alberta, Tricia’s journey has taken her from small-town roots to the biggest runways in the world, and eventually to some of Hollywood’s most recognizable screens. Her story isn’t just about career success — it’s about evolution, self-awareness, and the art of staying grounded in an industry built on performance. In this episode, we get into her creative process, how she prepares for emotionally demanding roles, and what balance looks like after decades in the spotlight. Tricia opens up about the lessons she’s learned from reinvention, setting boundaries, and building a more intentional life outside the camera. ⸻ In this episode, we discuss: - Growing up on a farm in Alberta and how those early experiences shaped her work ethic and perspective - Transitioning from modeling to acting and what she learned from both industries - Her process on set — how she prepares, connects, and decompresses after intense roles - The importance of creative resets and protecting her energy - Navigating identity, balance, and boundaries in the entertainment world - What she’s currently working on and how she continues to evolve as an artist and person - Voice acting for generational games such as StarCraft and Mass Effect And much more ⸻ Follow Tricia Helfer here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialtriciahelfer/ IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1065454 Primitive War: https://www.instagram.com/primitivewarmovieofficial Hello Beautiful: https://www.instagram.com/hellobeautifulmovie X: https://twitter.com/trutriciahelfer ⸻ Martin Hyu is an entrepreneur, CEO, and founder of Mars Media, a marketing agency specializing in hospitality and helping clients achieve their business goals and grow.
