As ever, Michelle Obama brings her trademark humor, candor, and compassion while she discusses her tools for living in today’s world with more luminaries like Gayle King, Hoda Kotb, David Letterman, and others.

Light up your world with Michelle Obama in this fun and uplifting new Audible Original series.

Michelle Obama's voice is so relaxing, it really catches you deeply.
The way she's shared all her anecdotes, healing processes and even though how she managed to be a Mom and a First Lady at the same time, keeping her feet on the ground, is absolutely remarkable.

I loved this episode about the value of friendship. This is something I personally hold in such high regard and share within my business too. True friendship is a powerful thing - that gets us through challenges we face in life. Michelle Obama's honesty, openness and humour make this podcast exceptional. It's wonderful to hear about her life as First Lady and of her friend's experience of collecting her daughter after her first play date at The Whitehouse. Scary and hysterical at the same time! I love Michelle's delivery about the reality of being the First Lady. Listening to her and experiencing her 'human' side and as a 'real person' made EVERY episode of this podcast inspirational, informative, fun, educational, motivational and so much more! I've recommended this to so many people. Michelle Obama, THANK YOU! Anne Goldsmith
