In this episode of Coming Into Focus, we sit down with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau for an open and deeply human conversation about healing, self-truth, and emotional well-being.

Sophie shares her reflections on beauty standards, trauma, and the lifelong process of healing, and how reconnecting with nature, sisterhood, and inner truth can help us come back to ourselves. With honesty and compassion, she speaks about creating space for mental health, emotional awareness, and living with intention in a world that often pulls us outward.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and listen, to yourself and to what truly matters.

• Trauma and the impact it leaves on the body and mind
• Healing as a personal and evolving journey
• The grounding and restorative power of nature
• Sisterhood and the importance of shared support
• Creating space for healing and truth
• Mental health and emotional well-being

In this powerful and deeply honest episode, Susan Raphael joins us to share her personal journey through addiction and sobriety. With openness and clarity, Susan reflects on what addiction really looks like, the myths that often surround being sober, and the beliefs that can quietly hold us back from choosing a different path.

Together, we explore where the term spiritist comes from and how spirituality, self-awareness, and support can play a role in recovery. This conversation isn’t about shame or labels , it’s about understanding, compassion, and the courage it takes to face ourselves truthfully.

Susan’s story reminds us that sobriety isn’t just about giving something up, it’s about coming home to yourself, reconnecting with your spirit, and discovering what’s possible when you ask for help.

Whether you are sober, sober-curious, supporting someone you love, or simply interested in understanding addiction more deeply, this episode offers insight, humanity, and hope.

In this solo episode of Coming into Focus, I’m reflecting on the idea of soul sisters, the women we choose, the women who live in our soul, and the friendships that help shape who we are.

Soul sisters are the women who walk beside us, support us, carry us when we need it most, and remind us of our strength. They are an integral part of being a woman and of moving through life in a deeply connected way.

In this episode, I also explore the friendships that come in and out of our lives. Some relationships are meant to last a lifetime, while others are soul contracts that gently come to an end once their purpose has been fulfilled. We talk about how to hold love and compassion for those connections, even when they no longer fit, and how to honor what they offered us along the way.

At the heart of this conversation is the importance of women coming together, supporting one another, lifting each other up, and helping one another rise. This episode is a celebration of friendship, of soul sisters, and of just how fortunate we are to be women, especially when we walk this journey together.
