## Resource

This week on Reclaiming, we’re playing one of our all time interviews with comedian, writer, and host John Oliver— a candid and thoughtful conversation about comedy, shame, and the power of laughter. John and Monica first connected in 2019 when she was interviewed for Last Week Tonight and she shares how that moment ultimately became part of her reclaiming journey. They explore the ethical tightrope of making jokes in a world full of gray areas and how humor can be both a coping tool and a way to call power to account.John shares what really surprised him about interviewing the Dalai Lama and the unexpected way His Holiness threw him off balance. With wit and depth, he and Monica dig into the weight of public shame, the risk of accountability, and why, for John, getting into trouble might just be the point. (And they use the C Word quite a bit!) Get 15% off OneSkin with the code RECLAIMING at oneskin.co/RECLAIMING#oneskinpod #ad Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
