Julia Fox on Sobriety & Myths of Motherhood 🎬

This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with Julia Fox — actress, artist, author, and unabashed cultural provocateur who has turned fearlessness into a full-blown art form. In this conversation, Julia opens up about the importance of having a positive male role model for her son, her determination not to let the demons of her past overshadow the blessings of her future, and how she manifested — yes — a sugar daddy. She reflects on her meteoric rise from the New York art scene to Hollywood, her sometimes-rocky relationship with her parents, her perspective on being a muse, and the politics of beauty.

About the show:
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. Listen to Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky premieres early and ad-free at https://wondery.com/shows/reclaiming-with-monica-lewinsky.
