Reaching midlife necessitates a series of reinventions. If you are lucky, you head into your middle years with a curious, ever-blooming spirit. This week, former First Lady of Canada, longtime mental health advocate, and perennial bloomer Sophie Grégoire Trudeau joins host Katie Fogarty to explore the life’s work of building emotional wellness and her new book "Closer Together: Knowing Ourselves, Loving Each Other. " Learn practical tools for emotional regulation, the power of slowing down, and the "Catch, Pause, Repair" relationship framework that Sophie credits with transforming her own life. We get into mental health challenges, parenting teens, evolving romantic and platonic relationships, why self-knowledge is not a luxury but a human right.
