About this episode

Eliza Reid shares her unexpected journey to becoming the First Lady of Iceland and discusses themes of self-trust and taking chances.

Eliza Reid never expected to become First Lady of Iceland which is exactly what makes her story so interesting. We talk about growing up in Canada, traveling the world alone, proposing to her husband, moving to Iceland without speaking the language, and eventually stepping into one of the most public roles imaginable. What I loved most about this conversation was how much we talked about trusting yourself, taking chances, and learning to take up space. Eliza also shares what it was really like becoming First Lady with no rulebook, no staff, and no preparation for the role.
