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

I love writing, of course, but it's also my job.

for me.

I want to allow myself the joy as I did as a teenager of filling up an entire notebook or a legal pad with a story without thinking to myself, is this something publishable?

Is this something I should post?

And when I think about the title of your podcast and

It's so in sync with, I think, the theme of what I'm exploring in my life right now, which is a reclamation of smallness.

Interesting.

Of prioritizing depth over reach, prioritizing smallness over skill, of...

of really allowing myself to think about the small joys, to think about ways that I want to narrow my attention to something

that may be small and may not go anywhere in terms of what other people see, but that feels deeply nourishing to me.

I mean—

American capitalism nudges us constantly towards velocity and volume.

And as someone who is

a first-generation American, the notion of the American dream was so deeply ingrained in me.

Honor the sacrifices that your parents made for you.

Work as hard as you can to have as big of a life as you can.

I've not been there.

Oh, you have to come.
