Michelle Obama offered a rare and deeply personal view of her current state of mind during July 9. In an interview with her co -founder and brother Craig Robinson, she spoke sincerely about entering a new phase of life focused on herself.
“This phase of life for me,” shared Obama, “is the first time I was completely free.”
The former first lady of the US was thinking about how her decision turned around her family for decades – her husband, former President Barack Obama and their daughter, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24.
“It’s completely about me”
Michelle Obama, 60, says she has entered the chapter of life, where she learns to prefer her own needs – without guilt.
“I’m at a point,” she explained, “where every choice I do in my life is not about my husband, not about his career, not about what my children need or where they go – it’s completely about me.”
The IMO conversation reflects the growing willingness of the First Lady openly to talk about personal growth, identity and boundaries of determination-especially in the post-white world of the house, where he is no longer bound by political expectations.
From the first lady to the first for the self
In recent months, Michelle Obama has opened up more about her desire to live according to her own conditions. Its podcast offers intimate space for these reflections because it continues to inspire women across generations to devote themselves to their own value and autonomy.
Her latest remarks not only signal the shift in priorities – but a wider message: that even after years of public service and victims, it is never too late to get his feeling for himself.
Michelle Obama in previous podcast episodes
Michelle Obama explained in previous episodes of podcasts why she skipped the second inauguration of President Donald Trump and stressed that this was a decision rooted in the care of self-marital problems.
“My decision to skip inauguration – or my selection decision at the beginning of this year that suited me – has encountered such mockery and criticism,” she said.
Obama refused rumors that her marriage was in trouble and said, “People couldn’t believe I didn’t say not for another reason. They had to assume that my marriage was breaking down.”
She attributed the therapy for helping her to learn to say no, even skipped other important events, such as the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter.
She added that participation in events separately from Barack Obama is part of the boundaries: “It’s a muscle you have to build … I’m starting to build that.”
Michelle Obama, who called for a cultural shift, said she wanted Malia and Sasha’s daughters to refuse the pressure to be perfect.
