Josh Radnor
Manage episode 490487968 series 3643120
This week on Reclaiming, we sit down with actor, writer, and musician Josh Radnor for a soulful, searching conversation about identity, creativity, and the lessons that come from letting go. Josh reflects on the surreal weight of becoming a household name through How I Met Your Mother—and the years it took to untangle his sense of self from the character of Ted Mosby. He opens up about his deepening relationship with music, the healing path of spiritual exploration—including transformative experiences with ayahuasca—and how those journeys helped him reconnect with purpose beyond fame. We also unpack the value of failure, the discomfort of being misunderstood, and why Josh believes that confronting our self-consciousness, rather than avoiding it, can be one of the most powerful catalysts for personal growth.
