About this listen

If you’re interested in unexpected conversations that go uncharted places, are remotely self-aware and like to laugh, then please join me as I continue to find my public voice on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky. (That’s me.) I will have honest, wide-ranging interviews with all kinds of people – recognizable names, regular folks, experts and friends – about what it means to reclaim what’s been lost or taken in the broadest sense. Every week, I’ll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves. And because I love a good tangent, we’ll probably also touch on other stuff, too.

  • KESHA
    Jul 8 2025

    In this deeply soulful and wide-ranging conversation, Monica sits down with singer, songwriter, and now record label founder Kesha to talk about healing, spirituality, and the long road to joy. Kesha opens up about her fight for autonomy, the emotional toll of public scrutiny, and how her spiritual journey and her work with Rick Rubin helped her reconnect with herself. From crystals and plant medicine to reclaiming her voice in every sense, this episode is a celebration of vulnerability, truth, and radical self-love. She also shares why she made the decision to change the opening lyric in her hit song ""TikTok"" as an act of solidarity and advocacy. Plus, Kesha talks about the inspiration behind her new single Joy Ride and what the “Tits Out Tour” really means.

  • Josh Radnor
    Jun 24 2025

    This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with actor, writer, and musician Josh Radnor for a soulful, searching conversation about identity, creativity, and the lessons that come from letting go. Josh reflects on the surreal weight of becoming a household name through How I Met Your Mother—and the years it took to untangle his sense of self from the character of Ted Mosby. He opens up about his deepening relationship with music, the healing path of spiritual exploration—including transformative experiences with ayahuasca—and how those journeys helped him reconnect with purpose beyond fame. We also unpack the value of failure, the discomfort of being misunderstood, and why Josh believes that confronting our self-consciousness, rather than avoiding it, can be one of the most powerful catalysts for personal growth.

Think about sitting down to catch up with your most interesting, inspiring, and badass friend, and leaving the conversation feeling emboldened to approach your life from a more powerful and generous place, every time you talk to them. That's what listening to the Reclaiming podcast is like.

I admittedly checked out the first episode because I'm a fan of Monica Lewinsky for her activism and candid humor, and wanted to hear her tell her own story, in her own words. That episode was absolutely brilliant. The following two episodes have revealed that Monica is a very talented interviewer who creates a welcoming space for both her guests and her listeners. The guests so far have been authentic and fascinating, and speak of some of the most difficult things someone can go through, and show, in very real ways, what reclamation is all about. I'm so excited for the next episode.

As I write this as a queer person in the US in February 2025, I have to say that I've spent too much time lately dissocdissociating into comfort shows and mindless entertainment, scared and overwhelmed about these very frightening days we're in. I recently made a decision to not only revive my awareness about what is happening in the country around me, but to actively work on finding what makes me more empowered for the long fight ahead. Reclaiming is bringing me one step closer.

Powerful and Timely
