Sophie Grégoire Trudeau says she never saw Justin Trudeau as a prime minister

Snap out of every role you're in, because if you believe it for half a second you're doomed.

— Sophie Grégoire Trudeau

She said she would encourage people to go into public service only if they do not have young children, because political life takes a family's time.

Grégoire Trudeau and the former prime minister separated in August 2023 after 18 years of marriage. She moved back to Montreal, her hometown, this year.

What's next

She spoke on a podcast posted Oct 10, World Mental Health Day, mostly about her self-help book, Closer Together. A children's book on emotions follows in 2027.
