## Resource

Emmy-winning creator and star of the TV series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Rachel Bloom joins Monica this week on Reclaiming for a revealing conversation about turning your personal trauma into creative expression. Rachel retraces her path from childhood OCD and early career love triangles, to creating Crazy Ex-Girlfriend—a show that brilliantly dismantled romantic-comedy tropes and reclaimed the "crazy" label with a raw, honest portrayal of mental illness. Expect a conversation brimming with intellectual curiosity, radical candor, and a masterclass in how to find the perfect punchline for your deepest pain...plus Rachel dishes on her latest role in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
