I don\u2019t know. I have no idea how women like you and some of our other friends \u2026 I don\u2019t know how you all do everything you do. And you\u2019re also mothers and you\u2019re spouses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lewinsky explained that she uses all of her \u201cenergy\u201d to \u201cjust show up and be me, just me looking after myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I don\u2019t know how you all do it. And I just, you know, I have had some extraordinary, unbelievable miracles in my life. And I am very grateful for them,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd if I don\u2019t get any more, I\u2019m good. If I get more, amazing. And that\u2019s really sort of where I feel where I\u2019m at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lewinsky also said that she\u2019s \u201cnot sure\u201d whether she wants a serious relationship.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there are a lot of personal things that I have worked on for a long time, and the shifts there feel, like, millimeters at a time. \u2026 I think I feel really grateful that I\u2019m OK with that,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Lewinsky added that the shift in her feelings about motherhood affected her desire for a relationship.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Monica Lewinsky Pt 3: How to Take Your Story, Your Power &amp; Your Life Back Today, It\u2019s Not Too Late!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OQEK2CPiyc0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes I feel I want that more than other times, but I think moving past having kids, the idea of having kids, at least naturally, that really changed what I was looking for.

I joke [that] I came out of the womb wanting to have a veil and a bridal dress and then be pregnant. So, I had really wanted those things early. And I guess I have to accept that if I had been willing to make certain changes or sacrifices, pretty much anybody could probably get married, and not everybody\u2019s able to have children. But if I had been able to, then that path \u2026 but I did really want it and I froze my eggs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added that she had \u201ctoyed\u201d with the idea of having a child on her own and had an eye-opening discussion with her therapist about \u201cregret.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"article__thumbnail related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/chelsea-handler-took-parenting-classes-despite-not-having-kids-page\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n\t\t\t<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"article__title-link related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/chelsea-handler-took-parenting-classes-despite-not-having-kids-page\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">Why Chelsea Handler Took Parenting Classes Despite Being Kid-Free<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tChelsea Handler revealed she decided to take parenting classes \u2014 despite not having kids of her own. \u201cI\u2019ll always say, like, \u2018I could be a great stepfather,\u201d Handler, 50, joked during the Tuesday, April 16, episode of Monica Lewinsky\u2019s \u201cReclaiming\u201d podcast.

Someone has to do something, or something has to happen, or you f*** up. If you f*** up when you\u2019re by yourself, you\u2019re not publicly humiliated.
