Monica Lewinsky

I think there's just been an acceptance of it and also surrounding myself with people who accept it as well is such a huge thing.

I'm so thankful.

I could talk about my partner until the end of time, Jack.

Yeah.

but that I and my family has always my mother has always been so deeply accepting of my brain and my mental state and I'm so lucky that I have her and then I'm so lucky that I have a partner who's deeply compassionate and empathetic for my experience as well and I think like

building that community around me has made such a vast difference in just how I view myself.

And I don't view myself as sort of a problem to be solved anymore.

It's more of just a work in progress.

Yeah, that's really beautiful.

Our last question that we ask everybody on the show is, what is something you're wanting to reclaim right now?

And the answer could be anything, a part of your identity, an emotion, a place, a thing.

I don't know if there's something beyond you reclaiming yourself every day.

That's a fucking good reclaiming, Tarana.

That's a good reclamation, baby.

Anne Lamott, Jamie Kern Lima, Dr. Mary Claire Haver, and Richard Christensen are next.

This sort of final question that I'm asking guests is, what is something you have lost that you would like to find or reclaim?

And it could be a physical object, a place, a part of your identity.

I know all of this.

Not I know it, but I mean I know it from my own experiences in my own life, too.

reclaiming journey now of not being scared of my own light or how bright it can be.
