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.

    This week on Reclaiming, we’re joined by the hilarious Sarah Silverman, whose career has been built on saying the unsayable—and making us laugh through the discomfort. In this intimate conversation, Sarah opens up about the quiet heartbreak of losing both her parents, the shame and humor of wetting the bed well into her teens, and the evolving landscape of comedy in a culture that’s constantly redefining its boundaries. With her signature blend of sharp intellect and raw honesty, she explores how pain shapes perspective and why vulnerability might just be the truest form of rebellion. It’s a candid, surprising, and deeply human episode with one of comedy’s most enduring provocateurs. And as a bonus, Monica makes another WAP-like discovery.

    This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with supermodel, entrepreneur, and icon Cindy Crawford for a candid and vulnerable conversation about grief, perception, and personal agency. Cindy opens up about the childhood loss of her younger brother and how that early heartbreak shaped her perspective on life, family, and resilience. She reflects on the challenges of being underestimated because of her beauty, and how she’s spent decades building a career for herself that extends beyond modeling. We hear the story behind how Cindy and her supermodel counterparts—Naomi, Linda and Christy— worked to own their narrative of 90's stardom and how the modeling industry has changed for this generation. With grace and clarity, Cindy shares how she’s stayed grounded and grateful through it all.

    This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with actor and author Andrew Rannells for a candid, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about identity, family, and the roles—onstage and off—that have shaped his life. Andrew opens up about growing up gay and Catholic in Omaha, Nebraska, and how those early years informed both his sense of humor and his search for belonging. He shares what it was like to skyrocket to fame with his Tony-nominated performance in The Book of Mormon, and later, to challenge audiences (and himself) as Elijah on HBO’s Girls. But some of his most meaningful roles have been far from the spotlight—like learning how to be a stepparent and navigating adulthood on his own terms.

Monica is so relatable on every topic she covers and makes you feel like you’re just having a chat with one of your girlfriends. Easily one of the best podcasts in a long time.

A must listen!!!

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
