Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky · Suleika Jaouad · 31 Mar 2026 podcast

you know, perhaps the most soothing musical form.

Kind of primal.

Primal, absolutely.

And, you know, maybe it seems like a silly thing, but it changed my entire experience of that stay.

I was no longer afraid of...

My dreams and my nightmares, they became a subject, something interesting and even beautiful when I translated them into watercolor.

And that to me is the power of the creative process.

You can...

alchemize something that feels painful or difficult into something where you begin to also find moments of beauty or interest or unexpected revelations even.

I've always been fascinated by alchemy, and I think traditionally we think of it as this magical process of transforming something considered worthless like lead into something precious like gold.

And that, to me, has such a rhyme with how I experience the creative process, whether

You're someone who doesn't consider yourself creative or you're a musician by profession or a visual artist.

The ability to make something where there was nothing has always felt miraculous to me.

The ability, even in the privacy of a journal, to take a swirl or mess of feelings that you're having and to distill them on the page has always...

felt like a sacred kind of transformation.

The second I write something down, especially something that feels heavy, it lightens.

I can see it differently.

I can examine it.

I externalize it from my body onto the page.

I had no artistic training.
