ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau who, as the former wife of the Prime Minister of Canada, has navigated her own very public midlife reinvention.
This is a conversation about what happens after the life you thought you were living no longer fits. Sophie opens up about embracing uncertainty, making brave decisions without having all the answers, and learning to trust yourself when the path forward isn’t clear.
We talk about the discomfort that comes with choosing yourself — especially when everyone is watching — and why that discomfort is often a sign you’re exactly where you need to be. She also shares insights inspired by her book, Closer Together, and the deep inner work that comes with reconstructing who you are in a new season of life.
This episode is for you, the woman standing at a crossroads — the one who feels called to something more, but hesitates because she’s scared and quietly asking herself, “What the heck am I doing?”
If you’re contemplating a leap — quiet or bold, private or public — this conversation is a reminder that choosing yourself isn’t selfish… it’s the first step in coming home to who you really are.
