I really enjoy the thoughtful conversations Monica has with her guests. She is a compassionate listener and makes space for folks to tell their own story. One thing I’m still trying to figure out is if this podcast is supposed to be part of the press tour circuit or if Monica is just on an exploratory journey, picking up people along the way.
I can listen to his stories all day ❤️
I discovered Reclaiming sometime last year and it quickly became one of my favorite podcasts. I really enjoy the conversations Monica has with each guest. I’m slowly making my way through episodes I have not yet listened to. Conversations are always thoughtful, funny and a really great listen. Monica is a great interviewer. What makes this podcast special, IMHO, is how vulnerable and real Monica is. Makes my commute to work so much better every week.
Oh Monica! Have been listening to you since podcast began. Saw the TED talk. You are eloquent, thoughtful, & a great interviewer! So glad you’re doing well!!
It’s terrible that the mistake you made was judged so harshly by society when all of us do things in our twenties that we would never want put out for all to see. Remember those who judged you are not worthy of your time.
