Summary

This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with Mark Duplass—actor, filmmaker, writer, and creative force whose career has stretched across indie film, television, and music. In this conversation, Mark opens up about his personal journey with anxiety and depression, and how he works to keep what he calls “the woog” at bay. He reflects on the tools that help him navigate those darker stretches, the importance of naming what scares us, and how leaning into vulnerability can become its own form of resilience. He also shares his evolving perspective on creativity, fatherhood, and partnership, and why showing up authentically online—even in the messiness—can foster a kind of intimacy that transcends likes and algorithms.
