If you're familiar with the name Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, there's a lot more to it than the former First Lady of Canada. A best-selling author, celebrated public speaker, and a passionate mental health advocate, Sophie has championed gender equality, female empowerment, youth self-esteem, and the importance of physical activity for over two decades.

In her first book, Closer Together: Knowing Ourselves, Loving Each Other, Sophie explores the science behind brain health, emotional intelligence, and our unique emotional signatures, drawing on her personal journey and interviews with a wide range of experts in neuroscience, mindfulness, mental health and more. She candidly shares her own struggles with learning to love herself, and it's this vulnerability that makes it such a special read.

Between some serious heart-to-heart topics and a few giggles, we discussed:

The root cause of stress as a dysfunctional relationship with the present moment – i.e. being "here" and wanting to be "there"
As women, we don't have patience with ourselves, we’re not taught we are worthy of rest
Women who put their own needs last have a substantially greater chance of suffering from autoimmune diseases like MS, fibromyalgia and lupus
The rhythm of love is slow – how can we truly love when we are stressed and our energy is frenetic and panicked?
The importance of unstructured play in every relationship
Don't miss the amazing breathwork exercise Sophie leads at the end of our chat! Tap into the vagus nerve and calm the F down
