Eliza Dushku Graduates With Master's Degree After Acting Retirement: ‘Deep Calling Realized'
Bring It On actress Eliza Dushku fulfilled a new dream, earning an advanced degree in clinical mental health counseling. 'Graduating with my master's degree (!!) feels like more than an achievement — it feels like a deep calling realized,' Dushku, 44, wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 6. 'True growth, energy, and passion — manifested.' Dushku received a Master of Arts degree from Lesley University late last month. 'After nearly a decade of inner work and building a new life, I'm so grateful for this moment in time,' she captioned her Friday post. 'To my highest self — for taking this wild leap away from everything I knew and making it happen. To my boys + ♥️ — for the little sacrifices made & love you gave, each day to honor and support this dream.' Eliza Dushku Reveals She Transitioned From Acting to Revolutionizing Trauma Care in Boston Dushku has been married to Peter Palandjian since 2018, and they share kids Philip, 5, and Bodie, 3. Palandjian, 61, and the couple's kids were on hand for Dushku's graduation ceremony. 'And to my family, friends — new and old — my colleagues/classmates, professors/teachers, and community, I give thanks: for rooting me on, encouraging me day in and day out, and affording me the grace, strength, and space to step fully into these past years of clinical training,' she wrote. "Today, I stand grounded and ready to support others on their journeys of becoming — through self-discovery, healing, and transformation. The connectedness I feel in holding safe, compassionate space for those who seek the undertaking is such lifeblood now.' She concluded, 'To possibility, hope, and healing, all. Non sibi sed toti 🤍.' Dushku took a step back from acting in 2017, turning to a new career in mental health counseling. In a 2024 profile for Boston Magazine, Dushku revealed that she is certified in psychedelic-assisted therapy. 'I had the means to shift directions and choose a course in my life that focused on healing myself so that I could help heal others,' Dushku told the outlet. 'I would be remiss if I didn't now share the transformation and the peace and the passion that I have. This is just absolutely so clearly my real calling, my real purpose.' Stars Who Left Hollywood Behind Over the Years: Cameron Diaz, Michael Schoeffling and More According to Dushku, she had previously used psychedelics to help recover from past traumas. 'I found myself feeling so wholly unwell,' she recalled. 'So painfully vulnerable, raw, exposed — terrified and suffering from what was diagnosed as PTSD. I finally surrendered and began to feel a release and a sense of peace and security and calm whooshing through me.' Dushku revealed past struggles with alcoholism and addiction in 2017.

WWE Money in the Bank big takeaways: R-Truth's release 'all part of the show,' says Triple H
John Cena's retirement tour saw another unexpected swerve with Ron Killings — aka R-Truth — returning at the conclusion of a wild WWE Money in the Bank 2025 event on Saturday night from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The show provided plenty of twists, with a new Women's Intercontinental Champion, two new contenders with the Money in the Bank briefcase, and Jacob Fatu yet again stealing the spotlight. Advertisement As we unpack all that went down, here are our biggest takeaways from WWE Money in the Bank 2025 as we march toward SummerSlam. 1. R-Truth Out, Ron Killings In John Cena's final run is certainly unlike anything we've seen before. It felt like his matches with Randy Orton and R-Truth were his odes to the past before he moved on to the current day and the future of WWE on his way out. His tag-team match with Logan Paul against Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso on Saturday provided the right level of chaos, and his breakdown with Paul was perfectly played. Cena used the title as a weapon once again and was on his way to another win over Rhodes before Ron Killings made his unexpected return, just days after his reported release. Advertisement Whether this was the plan the entire time or something that was a reaction to the fans, it's fascinating to see where we go from here, though WWE Chief Creative Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque claimed Killings' release was "all part of the show" in his post-event press conference. Regardless, it's clear for now that WWE is doing its best to keep Rhodes and Cena on the back burner. 2. Naomi's Next Step With a blend of former champions and rising up-and-coming stars involved in the Women's Money in the Bank match, Naomi had the most to gain from pulling down the briefcase. She had a standout performance at WrestleMania 41 and seemed well-positioned for a main-event spot, but it's never a guarantee to get to the top of the mountain. Advertisement Once at risk of getting lost in the shuffle, Noami has now secured herself a title shot and rightfully been rewarded for her work over the past year, both individually and elevating other talent. She legitimately has a chance to be the top heel in WWE as she rises to the top of the card. 3. Big Time Becky Is Back Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkryia have incredible chemistry, and this rivalry feels like it has legs to get us through SummerSlam. For the feud to get there, Lynch was eventually going to have to take the belt — and Money in the Bank felt like the perfect time to pull the trigger. Lynch is doing some of her best work in this rivalry, both in the ring and throughout their interactions. Her winning the belt with a hold of the tights, then demanding Valkyria celebrate her around the ring until she'd had enough, was incredibly executed. With Evolution 2 slated for July 13 and this feud far and away the best in the women's division, don't be surprised if Lynch-Lyra 3 heads toward the main event. 4. Jacob Fatu Rockets Up the Roster Jacob Fatu's turn on Solo Sikoa was only a matter of time, with the final seeds being planted just one night ago on Friday's "WWE Smackdown." When he hit the ring to help take out Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, his turn on Sikoa was a brutal swerve to cost Sikoa the Money in the Bank briefcase and set himself down his own path. Advertisement Sikoa was predominantly involved in the main-event scene as Roman Reigns' top aide, and he seemed destined to eventually find his way to the top as the leader of the new Bloodline. He just never quite made the strides to stand on his own, and now it looks like Fatu may just leapfrog him as his stock only continues to rise. 5. The Safe Choice Was Seth Rollins WWE could have gone plenty of different directions with the Men's Money in the Bank winner. LA Knight and Solo Sikoa have been on the cusp of respective main title runs for the past few years. El Grande Americano was perhaps a dark horse alongside Penta. Meanwhile, an established star like Seth Rollins felt like an easy way out — which is where WWE landed. Where Rollins plugs in is intriguing. Monday night's "WWE Raw" provides an opportunity for him to cash in on Jey Uso, when the World Heavyweight Champion takes on Gunther once again. Regardless of where he cashes in, though, it feels like only a matter of time before Rollins is champion again.
