You have the power to reclaim your story, to reclaim the narrative of who you truly are and to reclaim your life! And today we’re talking about RECLAIMING with my guest and friend, Monica Lewinsky. If you’ve ever felt like your past, maybe a past mistake, a bad decision, an embarrassing failure or something painful that’s happened to you in your past is holding you back, or defining who you are…maybe that past version of yourself that others knew you for has been lingering over you and keeping you stuck from stepping into the next most beautiful, powerful version of yourself, today’s episode is for you, and 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. I’m so excited to share this amazing conversation with you!
