Mark Duplass on Fatherhood, Fear, and Finding Balance

Описание: This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with Mark Duplass — actor, filmmaker, writer, and creative force whose career has stretched across indie film, television, and music. In this conversation, Mark opens up about his personal journey with anxiety and depression, and how he works to keep what he calls “the woog” at bay. He reflects on the tools that help him navigate those darker stretches, the importance of naming what scares us, and how leaning into vulnerability can become its own form of resilience.

He also shares his evolving perspective on creativity, fatherhood, and partnership, and why showing up authentically online—even in the messiness—can foster a kind of intimacy that transcends likes and algorithms.

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-....
