Michelle Obama, the former first lady of the United States, recently shared that she has been attending therapy sessions to help her transition into the next phase of her life. This revelation was made during her appearance on the Jay Shetty Podcast, where she also addressed ongoing speculations about her marriage to former President Barack Obama.
During the podcast, Obama explained that she turned to therapy to assist her in navigating the significant changes in her life, such as becoming an empty nester after her two daughters moved out. She underscored the importance of therapy as a tool she is utilizing to prepare for this new chapter in her life.
The 61-year-old former first lady also highlighted the benefits she has derived from therapy. She said it has been instrumental in helping her break old habits and deal with past guilt. She views this period as a new chapter in her life and 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, especially after she was absent from several high-profile events earlier this year, including President Trump’s inauguration.
However, Obama firmly refuted these rumors. She stated that if there were issues in her marriage, she would not conceal them. She also expressed her commitment to her marriage, stating that neither she nor her husband would ever abandon 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.
