This week on Reclaiming, we’re joined by the hilarious Sarah Silverman, whose career has been built on saying the unsayable—and making us laugh through the discomfort. In this intimate conversation, Sarah opens up about the quiet heartbreak of losing both her parents, the shame and humor of wetting the bed well into her teens, and the evolving landscape of comedy in a culture that’s constantly redefining its boundaries. With her signature blend of sharp intellect and raw honesty, she explores how pain shapes perspective and why vulnerability might just be the truest form of rebellion. It’s a candid, surprising, and deeply human episode with one of comedy’s most enduring provocateurs. And as a bonus, Monica makes another WAP-like discovery.

This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with supermodel, entrepreneur, and icon Cindy Crawford for a candid and vulnerable conversation about grief, perception, and personal agency.

This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with actor and author Andrew Rannells for a candid, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about identity, family, and the roles—onstage and off—that have shaped his life. Andrew opens up about growing up gay and Catholic in Omaha, Nebraska, and how those early years informed both his sense of humor and his search for belonging. He shares what it was like to skyrocket to fame with his Tony-nominated performance in The Book of Mormon, and later, to challenge audiences (and himself) as Elijah on HBO’s Girls. But some of his most meaningful roles have been far from the spotlight—like learning how to be a stepparent and navigating adulthood on his own terms.

This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with actor, writer, and musician Josh Radnor for a soulful, searching conversation about identity, creativity, and the lessons that come from letting go. Josh reflects on the surreal weight of becoming a household name through How I Met Your Mother—and the years it took to untangle his sense of self from the character of Ted Mosby. He opens up about his deepening relationship with music, the healing path of spiritual exploration—including transformative experiences with ayahuasca—and how those journeys helped him reconnect with purpose beyond fame. We also unpack the value of failure, the discomfort of being misunderstood, and why Josh believes that confronting our self-consciousness, rather than avoiding it, can be one of the most powerful catalysts for personal growth.
