Summary

This week on Reclaiming, we sat down with comedy powerhouse Chelsea Handler for a conversation that peels back the layers of her signature confidence and wit - and oh did we laugh! Chelsea opens up about the profound loss of her brother and how his death shaped the trajectory of her life. She candidly discusses her late-in-life embrace of therapy, offering her thoughts into why it's never too late for self-discovery. We also explore societal expectations around motherhood and how Chelsea has cultivated meaningful relationships with children in her life while remaining true to her decision not to have children of her own.
