Former Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin is featured in a fashion shoot for the December issue of Gloria magazine. The shoot showcases her in various outfits from the Almada Label, a Finnish brand, including a distinctive black skirt from Anmai and stylish boots by Hagelstam.
Sanna Marin’s Challenges and Aspirations
In her interview with Gloria, Marin reflects on the pressures of her past position. She shares that the demands of leadership led to overwhelming stress, causing physical and emotional symptoms. At times, the pressure was so intense that it affected her vision. Her health issues also included digestive problems that caused noticeable weight loss.
Marin now works as a strategic advisor at Tony Blair’s Institute. Despite her new role, she longs for a more structured life. Simple routines, such as walking her daughter Emma to school, are now rarities due to her irregular work schedule. Marin expressed a desire to have time for herself, to enjoy the outdoors and listen to music during these walks.
Family and Co-Parenting
Marin co-parents her 7-year-old daughter Emma with her ex-husband, Markus Räikkönen. According to a recent article in The New Yorker, their co-parenting relationship is described as amicable. The piece documented their day together, including Emma’s first day of school, which Marin found emotionally significant.
Marin notes that during her tenure as Prime Minister, she rarely had the opportunity to pick up her daughter from daycare. She recalls the day the parliament granted her requested resignation as poignant, particularly because she was finally able to take Emma to daycare afterwards.
