Sprakkar: an ancient Icelandish word that means "extraordinary women".
Our guest today is the First Lady of Iceland, Eliza Reid. Not only is she the best-selling author of Secrets of the Sprakkar, but also a passionate advocate for gender equality, utilizing her platform to organize significant events like a gender equality strike in Iceland, fighting wage disparities and gender-based violence.
But she doesn't just support gender equality in politics but also for everyday women, from self-care to unrealistic expectations of women "having it all."
BTW, this isn't Jess's first interview with Eliza.
Listen to how their initial chat helped Jess rediscover her identity after having a baby.
