I have heard a lot of people say derogatory things about her since she was in the White House. I never saw or heard anything she did to deserve the criticism. She is a brilliant woman with a lot of compassion and will go down in history as one of the top First Ladies.
She's black..that's all the reason hate-filled people need. If she was malania can you imagine what they would say. They hate educated black people while simultaneously telling black folk to pull themselves up by the bootstraps. It's unbelievable that even poor white uneducated people hated this woman but loved Melania who has zero accomplishments.
*Ladies (plural non-possessive) Lady's = singular possessive (or a contraction of "Lady is/has") Apostrophes are for contractions and possessive nouns, not for pluralizing or words that just happen to end in -s. To pluralize a noun that ends in -y, drop the -y and add -ies. *Presidents Don't put spaces before punctuation marks.
Wow I appreciate her. I can't believe I get to witness her and her legacy. Everything she said was so on point. I needed to hear that today.. I hope people take notes from her because we all need it.
I'm old school Republican, and her 2020, "Vote like your life depends on it" speech made me & my fam vote STRAIGHT BLUE! And again in 2022! #NeverTrump4Ever

@@ViridianaD24 having worked on a TV set, I know there are many things that can go wrong. This type of show usually has three cameras, one each for individual shots, and one for the two-shot. Also, these days studio cameras are robotic, meaning there's no one standing behind it to manually pan, tilt and zoom. The camera focusing on Michelle may have gotten stuck or had the video go bad. Also, there could have been a problem in the control room where the couldn't switch to the next camera. Also, most of the late night talk shows actually tape earlier in the evening. It could be a case they forgot to edit the other shot in. Making a TV show is sometimes like making sausage. It's often better not to watch how it's made.
Michelle Obama describing doing art projects as a family is one of the most wholesome things I’ve ever heard! I want to see how far she has progressed in her knitting. She is a beautiful woman, a loving mother, and a kind & supportive spouse. So glad that she represented us for 8 years on the World’s stage. She is a gift! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Stephen and Michelle for giving me a reason to smile. This interview was a delight to witness. i think we all need to be reminded to look to where another person's fear comes from. it's important to remember to have empathy. We as a country seem to have lost our willingness to love our neighbor. Take a moment to consider what might that stranger's life really be like. Did they plan to be at this point in life? Did they stumble and not recover ? How can I help in some small way? Then do that one thing..... and give a hug!
Michelle Obama has this incredibly relatable way of breaking down our individual and collective anxieties into ways of managing it and finding light to exit that trapping space. She’s too great for politics because she’s too busy being America’s guiding moral compass, a mantle I think she wouldn’t like to admit she possesses, but it brings me such joy and appreciation to live with that through books, podcasts and just all of it.
her husband is basically why i'm alive, because I was diagnosed with a severe pain condition and couldn't go back to work, couldn't get any kind of disability and lost my insurance. I had to enroll in college I was too sick to attend just to get health insurance coverage for a couple years before the ACA took effect because any insurance I could buy wouldn't pay for anything at all because of preexisting conditions. Not even pain meds. Luckily the ACA changed things before my pain condition worsened or I wouldn't be here at all. it wasn't just him but all the people who voted for it, wrote the laws, etc. But I genuinely don't think it would've happened without him. It's not perfect, but boy is it a lot better than the alternative.
Mdm Michelle is the most intelligent, well spoken of all the president's wives in American history. Her beauty and grace is on par with Jackie O and Princess Diana. She continues to inspire
Jackie Kennedy had to go through a lot more with President Kennedy he was a great president but wasn't probably the best husband. She had to go through a lot after his assassination I wouldn't wish that on anybody. Michelle Obama's trials were different with President Obama being the first African-American president all the racism and hatred they had to endure was a lot different than the Kennedys.
I'll never understand why so many people think Diana was beautiful. But yes, Mrs Obama is beautiful and gracefull. And intelligent, compassionate and funny.
@@aljoschalong625 Diana walked through mine fields and held hands with people dieing of AIDS when the US and English governments turned a blind eye. The monarchy killed her because she was right and an inconvenience and embarrassed for them

They really connected on all of that in this interview which also connected with me as a couple married 28 years and now empty nesters 😭😭😭🥺🥰🥰🥰 beautiful and I agree 100%words for word!!
I can't accurately describe it, but multiple times throughout the interview her words gave me chills. I know that so many questions and answers of such interviews are predetermined, which is the norm with any interview, especially an icon of her stature, but she has a way of just bringing everything to true realness -- regardless of what anyone planned. I believe every word, I have hope for every sentiment, and I could only aspire to be such a person that makes one see a lighthouse on the horizon in a storm as she does - even regardless of politics she is a beacon
What a down to earth lady. She has a lot of class but even more common sense and wisdom. She didn't let celebrity get the best of her basic humanity. Her husband is a lucky man.
@@collegefootballpicks2972 I guess you're too stupid to see that the neck of her top is so tight, you'd see an Adm's Apple. Sorry - meant to say too racist.
I love how she instinctively turns to the audience and starts speaking DIRECTLY to them when she talks. Yes, Stephen was conducting an interview, but you can tell how important it is to her to speak to EVERYONE in the audience.
Lovely, graceful, intelligent, charming and completely relatable and down to earth. She is the American version of the people's princess. We miss you and Barack soooooooo much!
The Obama's already served their Country, why would they want another 4 or maybe 8 years of Running of the most complex and powerful government on Earth. They probably just want beaches and drinks for the reminder of their lives. But a guy can dream right?
She doesn't like politics. She embraces the responsibility that comes with her position, but to be in the actual arena herself, she had said in the past she's not interested
I have so much love and respect for Michelle Obama. And that little "awww" when he put up the wedding picture... what a joy. I feel lucky to be sharing a planet with her. Thanks for carrying the light, Michelle!
Can't lie when I think about having another family like that in the white house the first one that came to mind is Buttigieg. The main problem with that? Could you win an election if even the people who like you can't spell your name off the top of their head? I don't know. I just think he's full of compassion and his family is so cute and it would be nice to see kids grow up in the white house again.
@TryNDoxMe no misery. Democrats, independents and even many republicans just voted against trumps candidates showing they are done with him. Yet he will run again because he needs the attention. And he will lose. Again. Good times. BTW angry much? Good luck with that.
What a lady, her and her husband are the voices of reason, compassion and are interesting without being confrontational. Here in N.Ireland we only think our politicians are bad but in USA some of the looney's in your houses take the biscuit.
oh she is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! so eloquent, persuasive, brave, and sincere and real,. You can feel it in your utterance. And yet despite all that, she's still funny!
I just started reading Michelle's "The light we carry", beautiful ,captivating introduction .Being a slow reader hopefully I will finish it before the winter ends !
We, among the fools that have the honor to claim her without the wisdom to embrace her, also love and admire her. To those of us who recognize the majesty that comes with integrity, she is our Queen.
hands down one of the best conversations I've ever heard. especially the light she shed on marriage and family. I have no faith in marriage but she really gives me something to think about.
Every time someone says something bad about Chicago, think about people like Michelle. There are lots of smart and decent people here like Michelle that you don’t hear about in the media.
Like anywhere, there's lots of stupid decent people too and they deserve to be recognized for being decent human beings regardless of intelligence. I actually think there's a party divide in intelligence where one party feels ignored by elites who went to colleges and discuss things they don't understand and it's harming the nation but particularly kids because it results in a party who wants to restrict what their children can learn in school so that they don't grow up and talk down to their parents. I think everyone should take responsibility for it, but especially those of higher IQ who expect to use the language we do and not have those who barely got through high school and many who didn't feel like they can't participate in conversation. I'm guilty of it myself, but I do have friends and family I will adjust language usage for so that we can communicate and they don't have to do the embarrassing thing of asking me what words mean. I don't think enough people make the effort to listen and communicate with others because it's easier to categorize someone as stupid and dismiss their thoughts. And conversely, it's easier to categorize someone as elite and dismiss their thoughts because no one wants to talk to someone that makes them feel stupid.
I've lived in Chicago my whole life, and we're simply getting picked on because we're a Democrat city with a gay, black female Mayor. Yes, we've had our issues with an increase in crime (like every other big city), but we remain a world class city with some of the best universities, culture, architecture and dining/nightlife in the world. On a per capita basis, we're not even in the top 20 in terms of overall crime. But...we became a right wing media punching bag starting in 2008 the second Obama was elected. I'll let you do the math on why it all began then.
There are a few people that I can just sit and listen to for hours on end and Michelle Obama is one of them. She is so authentic, intelligent, inspirational, humble and just a wonderful human being. I am Canadian and I watch her and say she is the example of female leadership at its finest. I wish she wanted to run for President but I completely understand her decision to not expose herself and her family to that vitriol and nastiness. She has decided to give in other ways that are more natural to her. Love, love, love her!
With such grace and dignity, Michelle Obama, expresses to us her vulnerability to help others who may be experiencing too much internalizing and no idea how to get out of our own heads. So appreciated. ❣️❣️❣️
I have always loved the Obama. Both Barack and beautiful Michelle are extraordinary people and the best President and First Lady we ever had. Seeing Michelle is such a joy! Thank you for this delight! 😍❤️
Amazing woman! And you see how at ease Colbert is with her, and she with him, kindred spirits clearly. So heartwarming and inspiring to watch! Loved every second. And her message is so utterly important! I know how hard it is to make time for that internal dialogue and breath through that fear, and I understand the suspicion towards celebrity life lessons so often disconnected and self-gratulatory tone and context, but this is the real deal. Absolutely smashed it, so impressed with her ability to connect. Ace!
Spot on. My old Chinese grandma really likes her - and will stay up late to watch whenever she’s on tv - and nods in approval as she speaks; and also complains each time that the interview wasn’t long enough. That is high praise.
@@liuning6008 Cool granny! My mother is 80 and she also doesn't miss a beat. Sharp as a whip, completely self sufficient and hell bent on staying that way.
Such a delight to watch & listen to this interview! It's like getting a glimpse of the light that the new book bears. So much substance & wisdom from both Michelle & Stephen. I enjoyed watching!
I don't think America appreciated the Obama presidency when they had it. The rest of the world did, but for the most part, Americans will have to reflect on that part of their history and appreciate it in the past tense. The rest of the world will always look to America for leadership and inspiration whether it's political or economic. There is no better country in the whole wide world, in spite of its struggles and turmoil. No other family amplifies this better than the Obama's.
@@duchess2367 so you took the time to say something negative towards the former First Lady rather than saying something positive. You can do better than that! We all have a choice to spread positivity and healing worlds around the world no matter our ethnic background, sex, race, or religion; the question is, do we have the character, morality and humility to want too!!!!
I never do so, but I just added this to two playlists. I know this is going to benefit me to watch this again in the future. 6 months or 3 years down the road. Hell, I should probably buy the book. The universe tossed me a bone this morning because this was perfectly timed and definitely lifted my spirits out of the gutter. What a lovely woman.
@@DivaDen when you mind gets noisy, ask yourself “ are these thoughts useful “ then ask “ what is the purpose “ it will quiet your mind from the chatter,so you may continue to breathe quietly, and if you commit to 15 minutes a day for 30 days it Will change your life and you will want to continue. I was up to 90 minutes a day for 3 years and everything in my life improved and remained at my highest for another 7 years, and I gradually spent less time in meditation and more time “working” and eventually stress returned as did the noise. I’m now 73 and I meditate 15 minutes twice a day,I’m retired and I’m more connected with my kids, my life, my compassion and happier once again
I’ve had a very stressful few days and today my anxiety was next level. Nothing was helping me keep it together until watching this interview with my favorite First Lady, somehow just listening to her I feel better, can’t wait to read her new book!
She hopes you buy it that's what she's all about, a desperate attempt to be relevant and to make money off of simple minded people that will buy her self obsessed book.
Admiration and respect for MO, smart, classy, dignified, genuine, fun, funny, fit with great family and friends! Never saw that with #45 and his.....never again!
Probably the thesis of her new book- that we all have something beautiful to share with the world and she's sharing her own light. No one should forget to shine because someone else's light is blinding...
When she laughs my whole world becomes ok. Wow. She's breath of fresh air. The very first time I set my eyes on her I've loved her since. Read both of her incredible books. I love this woman very much, she's such a gem and an inspiration. Thank you for the interview 💯💕👌
I love how she is able to connect with every person and connect us all. The opposite of others in the spot light ! That First Lady is a blessing to our country !
Stephen Colbert: You usually give plenty of time to your guests to speak, complete full thoughts, tell their story. Tonight with Michele Obama, you aced it. She's truly inspirational, has alot of advice for everyone who will take the time to listen and see what they can apply to their own life--regardless of their political views. Thanks again.
Love her and miss her so much. She is just so classy, real, and a great Mom. What a bummer to go from this intelligent and wholesome family to the Trumps.
Oh, Michelle Obama......I LOVE YOU!! Thank you for staying positive and being here for us....I look forward to reading your insightful book......Many blessings to you and your family.😍🥰🤩
I'll never understand how Michelle and Barack could have had such an incredible life and remain so humble and centered. Extraordinary.

I know that so many questions and answers of such interviews are predetermined, which is the norm with any interview, especially an icon of her stature, but she has a way of just bringing everything to true realness -- regardless of what anyone planned. I believe every word, I have hope for every sentiment, and I could only aspire to be such a person that makes one see a lighthouse on the horizon in a storm as she does - even regardless of politics she is a beacon
Amen!!!! ❤️
❤❤❤
Exactly Maxi, she spoke from the heart... and the brain. What an incredible woman.
I'm waiting for a Melania interview, she's surely full of wisdom too 🤣🤣
And brought tears to my eyes.☮️💜
What a down to earth lady. She has a lot of class but even more common sense and wisdom. She didn't let celebrity get the best of her basic humanity. Her husband is a lucky man.
@TryNDoxMe
What war, and death did she cause?
Michelle is simply pure class. She keeps it simple and real. Fantastic lady.
She is true class.

That is a man fool. Never saw a women cover up her neck like that. Hiding his Adams Apple.
@@collegefootballpicks2972 I guess you're too stupid to see that the neck of her top is so tight, you'd see an Adm's Apple. Sorry - meant to say too racist.
@@collegefootballpicks2972 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you maddddddd?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love how she instinctively turns to the audience and starts speaking DIRECTLY to them when she talks. Yes, Stephen was conducting an interview, but you can tell how important it is to her to speak to EVERYONE in the audience.
....important to HIM,......Michelle is a HE,.....Obama is gay

She is just so classy. I wish she would run for president. I understand why she won’t.
Why would she want to be considered the bad guy?!
@@rebeccaainslie4637 no one would think she’s a bad guy
The Obama's already served their Country, why would they want another 4 or maybe 8 years of Running of the most complex and powerful government on Earth. They probably just want beaches and drinks for the reminder of their lives.
But a guy can dream right?
She doesn't like politics. She embraces the responsibility that comes with her position, but to be in the actual arena herself, she had said in the past she's not interested
She won't because : "..look and all about that DAMN FLAG.." (which happend to be the Flag that stands for freedom !
I just love everything about her. No pretenses just a beautiful humble soul.
Clearly, your ignorance doesn't need an introduction.
Agree I love her ❤️💕

This woman is a national treasure. I'm so happy you had her on and look forward to reading her new book.
Happy Holidays to the Obama Family! Michelle, you are a shining star!🎉
She has to be the classiest 1st Lady ever. She's a great role model. Mad respect for her and her husband. 🫡
She is extremely classy and a person whom I would love to have as a friend. Lovely lady.
One of many... in fact; basically; Melania was the only one that didn't give a damn about the "office".
First to be called "FLOTUS". Don't know that just any first Lady is cool enough to merit the nickname
And the coolest
I agree. Kennedy was pretty cool too.
I have so much love and respect for Michelle Obama. And that little "awww" when he put up the wedding picture... what a joy. I feel lucky to be sharing a planet with her. Thanks for carrying the light, Michelle!
She is extremely articulate and eloquent in putting forth such serious matters. Her wisdom is one to acquire. Thank you for this wonderful interview!
Yeah. Ok.
"Fear is a powerful emotion. We need it; it keeps us safe. But if we overprivilege it, it keeps us stuck." Come through with that deep wisdom!
Notice his little comment when she said that? "Fear is the mind killer." It's a Dune reference haha!
This interview did my heart such good. Michelle is golden. Literally.
My gratitude to and for this phenomenal woman is ever-deepening.

Man I miss that family in the White House. Relatable, glamorous, smart, fun, compassionate.
Can't lie when I think about having another family like that in the white house the first one that came to mind is Buttigieg. The main problem with that? Could you win an election if even the people who like you can't spell your name off the top of their head? I don't know. I just think he's full of compassion and his family is so cute and it would be nice to see kids grow up in the white house again.
Me too ❤
@TryNDoxMe no misery. Democrats, independents and even many republicans just voted against trumps candidates showing they are done with him. Yet he will run again because he needs the attention. And he will lose. Again. Good times. BTW angry much? Good luck with that.
And you didn't have to worry about them embarrassing America. Every. Single. Day.
One thing is for certain, your excessive ignorance will never be called into question.
Intelligence at it’s finest. She is so empathetic, a bright light, and an inspiration to all woman. She is amazing. 🙏🏼🫶🏼
What a lady, her and her husband are the voices of reason, compassion and are interesting without being confrontational. Here in N.Ireland we only think our politicians are bad but in USA some of the looney's in your houses take the biscuit.
And they snatched the biscuit from the dog!
I think that every day, Andrew. We need something to make us feel semi-normal in this part of the world we live in!
She's so relatable. We identify with her humanity.
Your comment made me laugh.... about them taking the biscuit🤣
But then of course reality set in.😞 you are right. It's constant craziness here.
@Spirit Unbound No more Kari Lake....and Boebert is not home safe yet....
Can’t remember the last time an interview made me smile and laugh out loud. She is lovely. I’m a fan girl.
Thank you for this wonderful interview. The world is a much better place because of Michelle Obama and Stephen Colbert.
This is a lovely person!!! What class! What grace! What honesty! 😍😍😍
oh she is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! so eloquent, persuasive, brave, and sincere and real,. You can feel it in your utterance. And yet despite all that, she's still funny!
I just started reading Michelle's "The light we carry", beautiful ,captivating introduction .Being a slow reader hopefully I will finish it before the winter ends !
Thanks Michelle, for the love and marriage advice, even for a non-young person.
The true example of a class act. The greatest woman that ever lived. LOVE U GIRL!!!!
Michelle’s positivity is infectious. She is always gracious and eloquent. Her attitude is inspirational and uplifting. ❤🙏👏🏻
She is such a smart woman! Love her 💛 A lot of people over here in Europe admire her.👏
We, among the fools that have the honor to claim her without the wisdom to embrace her, also love and admire her. To those of us who recognize the majesty that comes with integrity, she is our Queen.
Clearly, you in Europe have greater wisdom than many in the US.
What is a Women?
yes; shes a class-act, support her, she earns it
Factually inaccurate but morally correct 🤣🤣🤯🍆🍆
hands down one of the best conversations I've ever heard. especially the light she shed on marriage and family. I have no faith in marriage but she really gives me something to think about.
I love her too.
Same.
it's definitely the most honest perspective I've ever heard on marriage.
Every time someone says something bad about Chicago, think about people like Michelle. There are lots of smart and decent people here like Michelle that you don’t hear about in the media.
Like anywhere, there's lots of stupid decent people too and they deserve to be recognized for being decent human beings regardless of intelligence. I actually think there's a party divide in intelligence where one party feels ignored by elites who went to colleges and discuss things they don't understand and it's harming the nation but particularly kids because it results in a party who wants to restrict what their children can learn in school so that they don't grow up and talk down to their parents. I think everyone should take responsibility for it, but especially those of higher IQ who expect to use the language we do and not have those who barely got through high school and many who didn't feel like they can't participate in conversation. I'm guilty of it myself, but I do have friends and family I will adjust language usage for so that we can communicate and they don't have to do the embarrassing thing of asking me what words mean. I don't think enough people make the effort to listen and communicate with others because it's easier to categorize someone as stupid and dismiss their thoughts. And conversely, it's easier to categorize someone as elite and dismiss their thoughts because no one wants to talk to someone that makes them feel stupid.
I've lived in Chicago my whole life, and we're simply getting picked on because we're a Democrat city with a gay, black female Mayor. Yes, we've had our issues with an increase in crime (like every other big city), but we remain a world class city with some of the best universities, culture, architecture and dining/nightlife in the world. On a per capita basis, we're not even in the top 20 in terms of overall crime. But...we became a right wing media punching bag starting in 2008 the second Obama was elected. I'll let you do the math on why it all began then.
Well, there are still very valid reasons why they left...along with Oprah, Michael Jordan...
There are a few people that I can just sit and listen to for hours on end and Michelle Obama is one of them. She is so authentic, intelligent, inspirational, humble and just a wonderful human being. I am Canadian and I watch her and say she is the example of female leadership at its finest. I wish she wanted to run for President but I completely understand her decision to not expose herself and her family to that vitriol and nastiness. She has decided to give in other ways that are more natural to her. Love, love, love her!
The best First Lady and thank you for your inspiration. I respect you and Barack Obama so very much.
With such grace and dignity, Michelle Obama, expresses to us her vulnerability to help others who may be experiencing too much internalizing and no idea how to get out of our own heads. So appreciated. ❣️❣️❣️
Pure class and intelligence. I admire her so much for sharing her fear and how she overcame it.
I actually can’t believe how many impactful things she managed to say in 25 minutes. Really glad to have her as a role model
She is amazing, a light.

She's the best and enjoy her personhood, truthfulness and relating with others. She is a jewel.
Michelle and Barack Obama makes one feel safe. Thank you Michelle for “getting on board “to become a First Lady.
Authentic and relatable. There is such power in this, when combined with intelligence and passion. Love her. ❤
Amazing woman! And you see how at ease Colbert is with her, and she with him, kindred spirits clearly. So heartwarming and inspiring to watch! Loved every second. And her message is so utterly important! I know how hard it is to make time for that internal dialogue and breath through that fear, and I understand the suspicion towards celebrity life lessons so often disconnected and self-gratulatory tone and context, but this is the real deal. Absolutely smashed it, so impressed with her ability to connect. Ace!
Spot on. My old Chinese grandma really likes her - and will stay up late to watch whenever she’s on tv - and nods in approval as she speaks; and also complains each time that the interview wasn’t long enough. That is high praise.
@@liuning6008 Cool granny! My mother is 80 and she also doesn't miss a beat. Sharp as a whip, completely self sufficient and hell bent on staying that way.
Not connecting is called marriage counseling & depression
@@jwvandegronden
Her and her husband only care about being stinking rich and rubbing noses with only rich white folk, you and I they despise
Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints! ❤️
Such a delight to watch & listen to this interview! It's like getting a glimpse of the light that the new book bears. So much substance & wisdom from both Michelle & Stephen. I enjoyed watching!
Wow, this message needs to be spread throughout the world on live national telivised news bc she is brilliant and anointed.
I don't think America appreciated the Obama presidency when they had it. The rest of the world did, but for the most part, Americans will have to reflect on that part of their history and appreciate it in the past tense. The rest of the world will always look to America for leadership and inspiration whether it's political or economic. There is no better country in the whole wide world, in spite of its struggles and turmoil. No other family amplifies this better than the Obama's.
She wore a belt around a roll of fat
@@duchess2367 so you took the time to say something negative towards the former First Lady rather than saying something positive. You can do better than that!
We all have a choice to spread positivity and healing worlds around the world no matter our ethnic background, sex, race, or religion; the question is, do we have the character, morality and humility to want too!!!!
She is one of the most impressive people we have ever been lucky enough in this country to have... The epitome of class
Michelle Obama is when intelligence meets emotional awareness. So much of what she said resonated.
IMHO it´s called "wisdom" 😊

What a remarkable woman. She never ceases to amaze me. We were blessed to have such an extraordinary woman as First Lady.
Everything she says is so thoughtful and on point.
I know she is master communicator and all but she genuinely seems like somebody you wanna have in your life!
yes-she gets it/irrationality can become enveloping-but shes centered
Michelle Obama is like a warm, safe, familiar hug.
She is. That's why I have her last (audio) book playing on a loop as my bedtime story--and have pre-ordered her new one!

@@jaquelinethomson6210 so accurate.
I just love Michelle Obama and the fact she meditates and such a brilliant leader and teacher .
Imagine what the world would be like if more meditated.
Less talking, more listening.
@@Edu_Kate I tried to its so hard. My mind just winders the qho 10 mins 😔
@@DivaDen The gift of being present to our inner quiet is well worth the effort of moving through the disquiet.
@@DivaDen when you mind gets noisy, ask yourself “ are these thoughts useful “ then ask “ what is the purpose “ it will quiet your mind from the chatter,so you may continue to breathe quietly, and if you commit to 15 minutes a day for 30 days it Will change your life and you will want to continue. I was up to 90 minutes a day for 3 years and everything in my life improved and remained at my highest for another 7 years, and I gradually spent less time in meditation and more time “working” and eventually stress returned as did the noise. I’m now 73 and I meditate 15 minutes twice a day,I’m retired and I’m more connected with my kids, my life, my compassion and happier once again
Now that love & standing ovation is well deserved for Mrs. Obama 💯 🙏

I’ve had a very stressful few days and today my anxiety was next level. Nothing was helping me keep it together until watching this interview with my favorite First Lady, somehow just listening to her I feel better, can’t wait to read her new book!
She hopes you buy it that's what she's all about, a desperate attempt to be relevant and to make money off of simple minded people that will buy her self obsessed book.
Yeah,....I was constipated until after this interview....thanks Big Mike Obama!
Well Jenny it's good to know that the former first lady was able to help you emotionally. Stay well and stay social
Admiration and respect for MO, smart, classy, dignified, genuine, fun, funny, fit with great family and friends! Never saw that with #45 and his.....never again!
A most charming delightful and enlightened lady and quite inspirational as well !
Love the light she shines on the world !
Probably the thesis of her new book- that we all have something beautiful to share with the world and she's sharing her own light. No one should forget to shine because someone else's light is blinding...
When she laughs my whole world becomes ok. Wow. She's breath of fresh air. The very first time I set my eyes on her I've loved her since. Read both of her incredible books. I love this woman very much, she's such a gem and an inspiration. Thank you for the interview 💯💕👌
