Mia Wagner regrets accepting minister role

Businesswoman Mia Wagner regrets accepting the ministerial post last year, as she expressed in an interview with Berlingske, ten months since her withdrawal, caused by a severe health episode and subsequent sick leave after only two weeks as the minister for digitalization and gender equality. Wagner, known for her role in the Danish TV show Løvens Hule, conveys regret for the inconvenience she caused Denmark and for the impact on her career, as she had invested significant energy in her board career. She initially attributed the fainting incident to stress, but doctors later discovered heart problems, which led to a pacemaker implant. Despite this, the health issue prompted her resignation one week later, marking a low point in her life but eventually leading to her current well-being and return as an independent advisor with her company Impact for the People.
