Drawing from her own journey in the public eye, Monica's unique ability to understand both vulnerability and resilience creates a rare sanctuary where cultural figures, experts and friends feel safe to truly open up. Each week, these intimate conversations go deep but not heavy and invite listeners to find their own connection to the stories of how we get back what was once lost or taken from us. Monica guides conversations into self-exploration with warmth, humor and the kind of unexpected insights that can only reveal themselves when one has navigated the complexity of life.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T14:19:06.997700+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/reclaiming-with-monica-lewinsky-7190769"},"episode":{"title":"Allyson Felix","slug":"allyson-felix","published_at":"2026-06-02T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/reclaiming-with-monica-lewinsky-7190769/allyson-felix","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/reclaiming-with-monica-lewinsky-7190769","url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/ADL7169945828.mp3?updated=1780334401","audio_url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/ADL7169945828.mp3?updated=1780334401","summary":"The most decorated American track & field athlete in history, Allyson Felix joins Monica this week on Reclaiming for a conversation about what it takes to turn a moment of rejection into a movement. Allyson retraces her path from a shy, 'head-down' competitor focused solely on winning medals to the powerful advocate who risked everything to challenge a corporate sponsor system that penalized women for becoming mothers. She opens up about the isolating experience of hiding her pregnancy from Nike, negotiating her job security when her pregnancy became public, and the terrifying condition that threatened both her life and her daughter's. Allyson reveals how that confluence of personal crisis and professional injustice ignited her voice, leading her to walk away from a sponsorship, publish her groundbreaking New York Times op-ed, and ultimately build her own footwear company, Saysh, from the ground up. Expect a conversation filled with quiet determination and hard-won wisdom. * Since we taped this episode, Allyson made the exciting announcement that she’ll come out of retirement to compete in the 2028 Olympics is Los Angeles Learn more about your ad choices.
