This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with the iconic Brooke Shields—actress, model, author, and lifelong performer whose career has spanned decades and defied expectations. In this conversation, Brooke opens up about aging in the public eye and the freedom she’s found in embracing it on her own terms. She reflects on the joy and vulnerability of live performance, her deep love of comedy, and why making people laugh has become one of the great pleasures of her life. We also explore her unexpected passion for science, as Brooke shares candid thoughts on Darwin, natural selection, and how survival of the fittest plays out not just in nature—but in Hollywood.
