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.

If you’re interested in unexpected conversations that go uncharted places, are remotely self-aware and like to laugh, then please join me as I continue to find my public voice on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky. (That’s me.) I will have honest, wide-ranging interviews with all kinds of people – recognizable names, regular folks, experts and friends – about what it means to reclaim what’s been lost or taken in the broadest sense. Every week, I’ll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves. And because I love a good tangent, we’ll probably also touch on other stuff, too.Follow Reclaiming on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
