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.

The fact that I've reclaimed my narrative and my voice is a miracle

and still mind-boggling to me because there were many moments where I wasn't really sure

that I would survive. 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. But to me, what the it is can be really surprising.

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. You know, maybe they laughed a little, they connected with the people

that I'm talking to, and leave with maybe some nuggets that

help them feel a little more hopeful.

I'm excited and honestly a bit terrified.

Please listen to reclaiming on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.
