Wondery Presents: Reclaiming with Monica...

Armchair Umbrella
About this episode

You’ve heard her name in headlines, during trivia nights, as a punchline: Monica Lewinsky. She’s been a major reference in pop culture since she was 24 years old when a scandal made her a household name overnight. Since then, she’s fought to redefine her reputation - and now she's ready to use her experience to encourage others to take back their power, too.

On her new podcast "Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky," Monica leads honest and wide-ranging conversations about what it means to write your own narrative. Each week, guests like Olivia Munn and Alan Cumming share how they've rediscovered purpose, rebuilt relationships, and redefined success after their most vulnerable moments.

Watch Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts: Wondery.fm/ReclaimingWithMonicaLewinsky.
