Summary

It’s never too late to reclaim your story, to reclaim the narrative of who you truly are and to reclaim your life! And we’re diving into more insights into how you can do that in your life right now, today, coming up in this incredible part 2 episode with Monica Lewinsky. I am SO excited for this! We can learn so much from each others stories, and when we share powerful conversations like the one we’re having today, together, it can help us feel less alone and more enough, in this one miraculous life! Monica Lewinsky is the host of the wildly successful podcast called Reclaiming, make sure you check that out right away, it’s SO good! She’s also a producer, social and anti-bullying activist, global public speaker, and a contributing editor to Vanity Fair. Her focus is on storytelling that moves the conversation forward – around shame, reclaiming identities, and justice for women. She’s also the Executive Producer of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox out now on Hulu. Monica authored the legendary essay “Shame and Survival” for Vanity Fair in which she re-examined her personal experiences at the center of a political, legal and global media firestorm connected to the impeachment of President Clinton and challenged the often-misogynistic culture of shame that continues to cannibalize the powerless. Monica’s TED Talk on “The Price of Shame,” has been viewed over 22 million times. Monica holds a Master’s degree from the London School of Economics. She’s also smart, incredibly witty, maybe the best curator of Instagram content that will make you laugh out loud daily…she’s a loving aunt, competitive Mahjong player, and I’m so honored to say a loving friend.
