“Over time, I’ve discovered that our deepest wounds can sometimes become our greatest opportunities.”
I had the pleasure of welcoming Olivia Grégoire, a member of the National Assembly for Paris, former minister and former government spokesperson.
Her story is both powerful and inspiring. It reminds us that nothing is impossible: obstacles can be overcome, setbacks turned into strengths, and hardships into renewed energy.
A woman of character and conviction, Olivia has been shaped by both personal and political adversity, drawing from it a rare boldness and an unbounded thirst for learning.
In this episode, she reflects on:
- Her childhood,
- Her passion for literature and her studies,
- Her student jobs and her quest for financial independence,
- Her early career in the private sector, her entry into politics and her rise to the highest levels of responsibility,
- The demands of public office: nights at the National Assembly, the Covid crisis, the dissolution of parliament and the threats she faced,
- Her passion for public office: the breadth of the issues and her interest in public policy,
- The place of women in politics,
- And the delicate balance between motherhood and public service.
