As the wife of Canada’s much-loved prime minister, Justin Trudeau,Sophie Gregoire Trudeaureigned supreme.
Let’s take a look.
The gathering had some high-profile guests, including Hillary Clinton, but Sophie’s night didn’t end there.
Abedin toldVoguethat she ended up losing Sophie in the crowd.
“I was panicking.
Sometimes I just want to run in a field.”
It was a labor of love for Sophie and the book that turned her into a fully-fledged author.
Perhaps it’s somewhat bittersweet though, considering that the work was finished before she separated from Justin Trudeau.
“Is it my fault?
Is it his fault?
“This is a sign of our emotional and relational immaturity.
It’s still black or white, married or divorced.
But the modern family is reorganizing.”
Navigating shared custody must be tricky given Justin’s hectic schedule, and they have even vacationed together.
“I think it hurts me for the kids,” she admitted.
One of the ways she navigates this is by staying put in the family home, Rideau Cottage.
She splits her time between the property and another place of her own.
“We go along with the kids' schedules,” Sophie told the publication.
“We keep each other posted.”
“I see my situation differently,” she admitted.
However, it’s an ongoing process for her that can’t be underestimated.
“I can’t say I’ve resolved all of that.”
“it’s possible for you to still nourish each other in different ways.”
For Sophie, one of the biggest questions was perhaps rather simple: What should she call herself now?
Coming out of retirement for Sophie means being able to pick up where she left off.
According to her Speakers Spotlight profile, this could mean everything from keynote speaking to intimate chats.
One of the most interesting things to note is Sophie’s shift toward reclaiming her previous career.
When she wasn’t attending events, she was looking after their three children.
During a chat with92ndstreety, Sophie explained that she has always been used to living life at breakneck speed.
“I used to be called Tornado,” she told the crowd.
“I used to do so many things at the same time.
I’m quick, I’ve always been that way.”
“We don’t think we’re worthy of rest,” she continued.
“But rest is the only way that our bodies and minds make sense out of life.”
