Today, I’m honored to welcome the one and only Michelle Obama to On Purpose. Michelle, who needs no introduction, sits down with me to reflect on her eight years in the White House, the challenges one faces in the public eye, and how her personal relationships have changed since becoming First Lady.

We discuss a variety of topics, from the addicting nature of cell phones to weathering the storms faced during long-term relationships. Michelle, having had such a unique lived experience thus far, has such important advice to offer, and this conversation truly showcases that fact.
