The Honest Talk is a Canadian podcast for women who are looking for more – out of themselves, out of their businesses and elected leaders, and out of the world around them.
At The Honest Talk, we interview North America’s most influential and inspiring women.
Our guests are famous TV hosts and journalists, entrepreneurs and business leaders, and politicians. We break down silos so women can connect through shared stories, experiences and also our differences.

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau — mental health advocate, author of Closer Together
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau has definitely got high name recognition, and she uses it for causes that make a difference for women too, which is something that a lot of women admire about her. She's invested in equality, mental health, and youth empowerment. And now she's entering a really fascinating period in her life, a period of both joy and healing. She's about to release a much-anticipated book called Closer Together, and she's recently separated from her husband, though they're still actively co-parenting three children. That's a lot to go through for any person.
Sophie Grégoire Trudeau joined us here at The Honest Talk to chat about her book, her feelings, the importance of mental health, and what we as women can do for ourselves to live full lives. -

Her books The Vagina Bible, The Menopause Manifesto, and her latest, Blood, have brought conversations about women’s health and periods to an absolutely new level. Dr. Gunter has been described as the most important truth teller in women's health.
She joined us at The Honest Talk to chat about women’s health, the myths and stigma around it, her own life, and the challenges we as a society are facing right now. -
