Welcome, welcome, welcome to Armchair Anonymous.

I'm Dan Shepard and I'm joined in absentia by Monica Padman.

Today's Armchair Anonymous is Kind Gestures from Strangers.

And if that sounds too PG-rated, I will assure you that there is a gift within these kind gestures in the form of an unauthorized evacuation. So it's going

to deliver on all fronts. Please enjoy kind gestures from strangers. The following is a promotional

message paid for by McMillan Cancer Support, a registered charity. If you or someone you care

about has been diagnosed with cancer, the McMillan

online community is here. McMillan's online community is open 24-7. It's a free, safe space to

connect with people who get what it's like to have cancer. You can browse groups, ask questions to

an expert, share your experience, or just see what others have to say. On the online community,

no question is too big, too small, or too personal. Their members have all been there, too.

Plus, it's completely anonymous. Search Macmillan online community today.

At 24, I lost my narrative, or rather it was stolen from me. And the Monica Lewinsky that my friends and

family knew was usurped by false narratives, callous jokes, and politics. I would define

reclaiming as to take back what was yours. Something you possess is lost or stolen. And ultimately,

you triumph in finding it again. So I think listeners can expect

me to be chatting with folks both recognizable and unrecognizable names about the way that

people have navigated roads to triumph. My hope is that people will finish an episode of

reclaiming and feel like they filled their tank up.
