Michelle Obama, the former first lady, recently revealed that she is undergoing therapy as she transitions into the next stage of her life. She made this revelation during an interview on the Jay Shetty Podcast, where she also addressed ongoing rumors about her and former President Barack Obama’s marriage.
In the interview, Obama explained that she sought therapy to help her navigate the changes in her life, including becoming an empty nester as her two daughters have grown up and moved out. She emphasized that therapy is a tool she is using to prepare herself for this new phase in her life.
The 61-year-old former first lady also mentioned that therapy has been beneficial in helping her break old habits and deal with past guilt. She expressed her belief that this is a new chapter in her life, and she is using therapy as a form of coaching to guide her through it.
In addition to discussing her personal growth, Obama also addressed the persistent rumors about her marriage. She and her husband have been the subject of divorce speculation, particularly after she missed several high-profile events earlier this year, including President Trump’s inauguration.
However, Obama firmly dismissed these rumors. She stated that if there were issues in her marriage, she would not hide them. She also expressed her commitment to her marriage, stating that neither she nor her husband would ever give up on their relationship.
The former first lady has been active in the media recently, often appearing with her brother Craig Robinson. Despite the rumors, she continues to emphasize the strength of her three-decade-long marriage and her commitment to her family.
