Sophie Grégoire Trudeau is a Canadian-born best-selling author, public speaker, mental health advocate, television host, and certified yoga teacher for both adults and children. Her work for gender equality and empowering women and youth has been recognized by multiple organizations including the United Nations. Her instant national bestseller and Best on Audible (2024) book Closer Together: Knowing Ourselves, Loving Each Other has inspired readers across North America and beyond.
Sophie has spoken on hundreds of global stages about mental health and emotional well-being including Yale’s Faculty of Medicine, the Forbes 30/50 Summit in Abu Dhabi, SXSW in Austin, Texas, Global Citizen, and other events at the United Nations in New York City. She has hosted television and radio programs in Canada, collaborated with leading international organizations as a global ambassador, and her voice has been featured in documentaries, podcasts, magazines, and conferences worldwide.
Throughout her career, Sophie has met and interviewed some of the world’s most inspiring public figures who are shaping a fairer and more compassionate world — including Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai and trauma expert Dr. Gabor Maté — deepening her lifelong exploration of justice, healing, and human connection.
In 2025, she was named a Fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, recognizing her enduring commitment to education, exploration, and the preservation of Canada’s natural and cultural heritage.
Sophie remains a curious student of life and human connection. She’s now completing an introductory training of Gabor Maté’s short Compassionate Inquiry Course (30 hrs) which dives deep into methods to uncover unconscious beliefs, heal trauma, and foster deeper self-awareness and compassion.
Through her teaching, writing, and advocacy, she continues to champion wellness, resilience, and connection with Mother Nature.
