As a podcaster, crafting narratives in the public eye means making mistakes along the way is inevitable. But I've started to wonder—what if those very mistakes could be the secret sauce to creating relatable, engaging, and transformative storytelling?

Alongside Eman Ismael, host of the multi-award-winning podcast Mistakes that made me, we explored the importance of embracing the notion of learning from failure to build authenticity and connection with audiences worldwide in public, exemplified perfectly by Monica Lewinsky’s newest podcast, Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky.
