Summary

This week on Reclaiming, Monica is joined by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ronan Farrow for a conversation that’s as vulnerable as it is incisive. From growing up under relentless scrutiny to reporting on some of the most powerful men in the world, Ronan opens up about the emotional toll of telling the truth and the unexpected ways trauma can shape ambition. They talk, disinformation, misplaced reality, and the quiet bravery of choosing compassion in a world that rewards cruelty. It’s a revealing and unexpectedly tender episode with one of journalism’s most fearless voices. Plus, Monica talks about the time she got catfished by a fake Greta Thunberg.
