Sophie Gregoire Trudeau has spent much of her adult life in the public eye as a broadcaster and political leader. And, as someone who has been public about her own struggles with mental health, Sophie believes that the key to restoring trust in our institutions lies in our leaders reckoning with emotional awareness and their own traumas.  Sophie joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the complexities of mental health and the power of vulnerability and connection, topics she also explores in her new book, ‘Closer Together.’ Sophie opens up about her struggle with bulimia, the importance of breaking generational cycles of trauma, and the significance of asking for help. Jay and Sophie get into how self-awareness, love, and presence are needed to effectively address the global mental health crisis.    Episode Chapters
