Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky · Jameela Jamil · 3 Feb 2026 podcast

So I am a full time advocate.

And it is my main passion far beyond entertainment.

But that is something that I consider.

I'd much rather spend my time doing that than punishing my body for not looking like a 14-year-old paedophile's dream.

I am just happier to use my brain in the way that it was actually built.

So I consider that important.

But also...

I think it is imperative and I think most great social justice activists throughout history have always said that you must maintain balance.

So with all of the horror in the world, it is unsustainable.

And I was someone who once didn't have any pleasure in my life and it was just...

uh give give give give give to everyone and anyone around me and i found myself barren of any energy and then i had a nervous breakdown and then i got really sick so so it's not sustainable and then i wasn't able to help anyone so you must live a life in which you salvage the good and the joy wherever you can and not feel guilt about it unless it's at someone else's expense um because otherwise what good are you to anyone when you're just a husk

And women in particular are expected only to withdraw.

There is no talk of deposit, you know, apart from a fucking bunch of flowers like once a year on the anniversary if it's remembered.

There isn't much emphasis on society depositing happiness and women.

Even wellness culture is ultimately around making us look less tired than we actually are from the shit we have to eat all day.

It's all about the way that we look to society.

So little of what is actually invested in women is about our peace and our joy and our happiness and our pleasure.

I really like, I struggle with the way that self-care is packaged for women.

I mean, so much of my culture has now been turned into a wellness space.

I don't know.
