Jacinda Ardern on her life as the ex-Mormon girl who became New Zealand’s Prime Minister

During her two terms as PM, Jacinda gained global attention for her response to the terror attack in Christchurch and for giving birth at the same time as running the country.

Jacinda grew up as a good Mormon girl who planned on making a difference behind the scenes.

But when she unexpectedly became head of the Labor Party, only weeks away from a federal election, Jacinda discovered she had a talent for leadership.

Jacinda's memoir about her time as PM and her life before and after is called A Different Kind of Power.

This episode of Conversations was produced by Jen Leake and Nicola Harrison is the Executive Producer.
