Monica Lewinsky

I'm reclaiming the belief that I deserve support and unhooking from feeling like this is a quid pro quo universe, asking for what I need and want, and sometimes demanding it from people on whom I can make those demands.

But that's part of letting the story about my extreme competence and self-sufficiency go and –

recognizing that's on me.

And in the same way, like I can ask people to do things for me.

Okay.

So the last question I ask everybody on the podcast is if there's anything that you are currently like working on reclaiming and that's, you know, in this elastic definition of, you know, for some people it's a hobby or, or being able to go to a place or personality trade or, you know, anything.

But I do want to help the people that I work with and love that are close to me get to that next step.

That for me is, and I think that helps me reclaim whatever trauma I've had in my life by making, you know, not in a big way.

I'm not a big picture kind of guy that way.

I'm not a help the whole world.

I wish I was.

But if I can help my corner of it, tend my own garden, that I think is probably the closest thing

I come to something, reclaiming something.

Yeah.

That's really beautiful.

Really interesting.

Yeah.

I am reclaiming freedom and like freedom in every way.

Not just, I'm not just talking about my voice.

It's a big one, but I'm talking about to anything and everything that takes me away from myself.
