Brillantes #27 - Nora Ernst

From climate science to politics— Nora Ernst reflects on trust, family policy, and building a liveable future.

In this episode, Jeanne meets Nora Ernst — co-president of the Green Liberal Party in Zurich, member of the city parliament in Winterthur, environmental scientist, and Senior Sustainability Risk Manager at Swiss Re. Her path into politics began only a few years ago, during maternity leave, when she decided to get active — and has since turned her into one of the fresh, credible voices shaping Zurich’s political landscape.

Together, they explore:

• How maternity leave opened the door to politics
• Why Switzerland’s part-time culture is both a challenge and an opportunity
• The risks of disinformation — and why trust in science matters more than ever
• Why care work should be treated as economic infrastructure
• What gives her hope in times of climate anxiety and political backlash

Throughout the conversation, Nora opens up about balancing three lives at once — politics, a corporate career, and motherhood — and why optimism, even when fragile, is still essential to move forward.

✨ Brillantes brings you powerful conversations with women who challenge norms and redefine what success truly means. Subscribe, share, or leave a review if this episode resonates with you.
