Monica Lewinsky

I think more of a balance.

People talk about this all the time.

I've thought that I was getting closer to balance or having balance, and I was not.

And it's really been interesting because I stopped touring properly, and that is a whole different world for me.

And, you know, I was sitting around with Stephanie these past few days saying, gosh, this must be what it's like to just be a person where, you know, we sit and have coffee in the morning and take a walk and I go record your show.

So something that I'm asking all my guests is what is something that you're working on reclaiming right now?

an emotional answer sorry but your podcast is emotional I've listened to it you go there with people but we could never not go there we could I know and it's just you know what I feel so strongly I'm so not interested in small talk no I want the real I want the connection it's what I'm hoping people get from the conversations is even if they're not sitting here with us that they feel connected

Now we have Mark Duplass, Journey Smollett, Sophia Bush, and skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.

We round out the show asking people if there's anything that they are working on reclaiming.

Like what instrument?

Storytelling.

So I could sit and talk to you for hours, but the last question that I always ask everybody is if there's something you are currently working on reclaiming in a very elastic sense.

Okay, without thinking too hard, the first thing that comes to mind is I'm really working on reclaiming the present.

Not living in the future or, well, the future or the past.

And really embracing the in-between, the unknown, and the radical act of finding my joy now.

I feel like we're conditioned to go, when I get that, I'll be so happy.

Or when I find that relationship.

Or when I can save up and buy that house.

Or when I can get this job promotion.

Or when I can get pregnant or build a family.
