Sophie Grégoire Trudeau sits down with us for one of her most honest and vulnerable interviews yet on trauma, origin wounds, addiction, parenting, love, loss, and rebuilding your identity when life forces a reset. She opens up about how childhood shapes every adult relationship, why so many of us feel disconnected, what addiction is really masking, and how she navigated a very public separation while trying to stay grounded and authentic.We dive into the “collective illusion” shaping our culture, the pressure to perform on social media, raising teens in an online world, and what it takes to actually heal. Travis also shares how losing his career triggered depression and a complete reinvention, and Sophie offers grounded, practical insight on grief, starting over, and finding purpose on the other side of pain.If you’re healing from a breakup, burnout, grief, or a major life transition, this conversation will stay with you.Subscribe, share, and join the conversation#SophieGregoireTrudeau #CantBeCensored #CloserTogether #JustinTrudeau #Trauma #Healing #MentalHealth #GaborMaté #SelfDiscovery #ParentingTeens #PodcastInterview
