  • Thoughtful conversations

    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.

  • Amazing podcast

    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.

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Josh Johnson
Q: How has personal loss shaped your approach to comedy and storytelling?
My dad's passing taught me to seize moments and speak honestly; I try to say the thing in the moment to avoid heavy regret, using presence to connect with the audience and the people I care about.
Josh Johnson
Q: When did you realize you were funny, and did it come naturally or grow over time?
It grew as I learned to read a room and let the audience catch up; early family laughs showed me potential, but true confidence came after years of open mics and small sets where delivery and timing could land or crash.
RERUN: Miley Cyrus
Q: Can you share a moment when you reclaimed control over your public narrative?
I learned to set boundaries, forgive myself for past mistakes, and channel energy into work that heals rather than harms, including pursuing intimate conversations publicly and cultivating nuanced, honest storytelling.
RERUN: Miley Cyrus
Q: What does reinvention mean to you beyond fashion or image?
Reinvention is about aligning how I show up with my inner truth, evolving with maturity, and choosing projects that reflect healing, responsibility, and empowerment rather than simply chasing attention.
Tan France
Q: What motivated you to start creating production projects and to focus on Representing diverse groups?
He explains that the drive comes from wanting to broaden representation and give voice to underrepresented communities, turning personal visibility into opportunities to tell stories that normalize and celebrate diversity.
