Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky is a space for thoughtful, unguarded conversations about who we are and how we make sense of the world. Drawing from her own journey in the public eye, Monica's unique ability to understand both vulnerability and resilience creates a rare sanctuary where cultural figures, experts and friends feel safe to truly open up. Each week, these intimate conversations go deep but not heavy and invite listeners to find their own connection to the stories of how we get back what was once lost or taken from us. Monica guides conversations into self-exploration with warmth, humor and the kind of unexpected insights that can only reveal themselves when one has navigated the complexity of life.

    Emmy-winning actress, producer, author, and transgender rights trailblazer Laverne Cox joins Monica this week on Reclaiming for a live taping at the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival in Seattle. With her new memoir, Transcendent, out in the world, Laverne opens up to Monica about what it means to finally tell her story in her own words—from childhood trauma and self-worth to fame, healing, and the complicated cost of visibility. She retraces her path from growing up in Mobile, Alabama, where homophobia taught her early lessons about shame, to finding freedom, community, and creative purpose in New York City. Laverne reflects on how, after nearly 20 years spent struggling as a working actress, Orange Is the New Black changed everything, making her the first openly transgender person nominated for an Emmy in an acting category. Together, she and Monica explore vulnerability, the difference between being seen and being safe, and how Laverne continues to reclaim dignity for trans people everywhere.

    Queer Eye star, fashion entrepreneur and producer Tan France joins Monica this week on Reclaiming for a vulnerable conversation about identity and belonging. Tan retraces his path from growing up as a gay, Pakistani, Muslim kid in England, to building a wildly successful fashion business designing modest clothing for Mormon women in Utah. He takes us back to the accidental Queer Eye audition he never really wanted—one he only attended in the hopes of making gay friends—and how that reluctant yes launched him into global visibility. Tan also shares what it was like to have his coming out accelerated by the show’s premiere, forcing deeply personal conversations with his traditional Muslim family. Together, he and Monica explore the emotional cost of being seen before you feel ready, the power of humor and how Tan has reclaimed fashion, family, and fame on his own terms.
