Honestly, nothing was so much of a Surprise. Michelle Obama was Exquisite, Highly Articulate, Poised, Dignified, Graceful in every way. However what to me personally was the most powerful message from everything she said was about Re-gaining control about one’s own Narrative because people trying to distort your truth, your being and your ‘personhood’.
How to bounce back from that, in the midst of all that she was put through. I bow down to that! Because I know how hard it is, and how personal it is, when some people want to make the world believe something you know FULLY in your Heart and Soul you are NOT!
I literally love your podcasts,at the same time I am getting better and better with my english as well as myself by listening your podcasts and different guests you invites.I admire the way you start conversation and the way you talk with your guests,I am able to connect easily.Hatts of to you Brother🙏❤Lots of love.
I'm sorry but that's what you chose to wear in front of the first lady?
It surprised me that she knocked Barack upside his head just yesterday! LOL j/k Great interview Jay! She dropped so many gems! Kudos
You know, when I first saw them as a couple, I thought she got lucky with Obama. After hearing her speak, I realized he’s the one who lucked out.
It's crazy how people who don't know people personally can make that type of assessment.
When my brother was shot at Fort Hood, we got to meet the president and Michelle Obama. She was one of the most genuine people I have ever met in my life. When she gave me a hug, you can feel that it was not fake and if there was love behind that hug. She looked me straight in the eye, and you could tell that she cared. It’s very few people that I have met in my life that are like her. She’s one of a kind for sure.
So sorry for your loss....for you and your family. Take comfort that you were able to experience true compassion with this experience.
Be well and be at peace.
@@dz7a756 Fortunately, my brother was one of the survivors. He was one of the 17 that was shot that day, and was one of the most critical other than the man that died that day. You can look up his story. His name is Deon Josephs. Ivan Lopez was the shooter.

I love the CIA too
I’m so sorry, sending support to you!
Love and respect her so much. She’s a real mensch.
I love HER! The way she speaks, what she stands for, her kindness and truth. ❤❤❤
Her?
I can listen to Michelle Obama forever. She is intelligent, beautiful inside and out. No chip on her shoulder. My favorite First Lady this lifetime.
She? Lady? 😂😂
I second that @superpreet2011.
@@jackybrummelhuis8860Are you a man or he?
Same!!! She is the definition of class and integrity
Is it a black or white lie?
Forever...?what a boring people out there
She’s a national treasure!!! ❤
There were 2 things she spoke about that stood out to me. 1st, the number 1 rule this country should provide to every person in America is a home, food, education, and a job. That's a powerful Leadership speaking moment from Michelle Obama. The 2 thing is that powerful people Fear other people who they can't connect with or control, and powerful people are afraid they will lose more if this country did provide the fundamentals of the number 1 Rule Michelle spoke on.
All of these years later, The Obamas still inspire me. Even though I have never met them personally, their genuineness and sincerity make you feel as if you know them.
Love Michelle. She is intelligent, has dignity and is honest. Would hear her speak anywhere anytime🔹🔵🩵🔷💙🟦🇺🇸
It's he. Thank you.
Luv, respect and so admire her.
She is so great! ❤❤❤
She is truly a phenomenal woman. An inspiring role model.
“The bars are different for people in life ..” you learn how to be excellent all the time because you can’t be less than .”
Michelle is such a great communicator and definitely one of the greatest,smartest first lady of the United States.
Ms.Obama,
One interview that I loved mostly about the openness of mind and expression .
An excellent expression of emotions for people to hear and learn and improve their lives.
Thank you so much.
Sabay
Yo I just wanna say this puts so much to bed. The content here is through the roof. Jay shetty you have excelled yourself and Michelle is holding feminine energy. She is a very advanced soul and I appreciate what she shares. ❤❤
I never get tired to listening this Lady, you are perfect, i am improving my english, and also i can understand everything that you say. Lovely!
I am always amazed at how grounded Michelle Obama is, considering the life she has had. She is such a great role model for young women of today.
i have never seen a better interview - this guy can really listen and can ask some really good questions
OMG please
Please what? --> @@scarletgen
Nooooo.
And this guy can answer so well
Hey @annapajmel5843 - then you have not seen many interviews ... have you!
First Lady Mitchell, could you please have an enlightenment talk-show wisdom guru for the people , the world
Michelle is an amazing woman. So well spoken, wise and sincere. So pleasant to watch.
Thanks for creating this space, Jay. You are a great interviewer! something that I love about your podcast is that you let your guest talk. Seems logical, but not many people (even the famous and most respected) forget about that.
I don´t live in the US, but I know for a fact, we all need someone like her to lead that country cause we all get affected by their decisions, and in the last decades she and Sanders are those few who really make sense.
Michelle O is the perfect example of wise intelligence. Compassionate and so approachable, knows and understands the importance of wise leadership. Just glad someone is saying what we sometimes assume is common sense.
Agreed.
This was a great interview. I really enjoyed it. Love MRS. OBAMA
She’s so amazing, such character, wisdom and grace
He's a man
A truly wonderful human being, May Michelle someday consider running for office as we all need more genuine and intelligent people overseeing important matters.Thanks for a really great interview
Such a smart person, whenever I feel lost or stressed I look for Michelle’s voice on an interview or talk or something, she gives me hope for the future of not only the USA but the world. I would really love to meet her in person someday.
Michelle Obama is such a gem. There is no one like her and she is just pure love, one of the most incredible people this world has ever seen. Jay you are a gifted interviewer. Thank you and congratulations on having her as a guest. I hope you get Barrack on too as it would be amazing.
A truly magnificent lady! Wise, genuine.
BTW, Michelle and Obama are one of the best examples in the Internet Era of measured and aware public speaking. Such a wildly difficult position to do it and they've been absolutely brilliant ❤❤❤
i knew she was smart, but i'm really humbled by how much insight she has!
I love her ❤
I love this lady, she is so sincere, and I love watching her and Barack together cos their love for each other is so apparent 😊
RUclips Victoria Nuland Leaked Phone Call. Ukraine was started by the Obamas.
Beautiful lady! Simply the best!
Michelle is so eloquent, intelligent and respectful. And real. I sincerely hope that she will continue to speak loudly and inspire young people to change the world. Thank you for this awesome interview.
He's a man. His name is Michael
@@erwynbalbuena9900hahaha
And even if it were true… so what ?
She or he made it.
Married a president.
Are you going to say the same about Melania?😅
What I realize about Michelle Obama is her amazing ability to switch between being down to earth and being sophisticated when the occasion so merits. She's Kool calm, collective and very intelligent in the way she administers her answers and delivery her points., much love to the Obama family.
Principled, wise, brilliant, clear-eyed, authentic, sincere, unpretentious - with integrity in spades. She is unassuming greatness personified.
I love the Obama’s! Michelle said something that really stuck out. She spoke about having power. And the difference in her and others. Her powerful position, gave her opportunity to help others. Where as, other people in power, use it to self serve. Both the Obama’s will go down in history as smart and compassionate people.
Michelle is a very intelligent woman 👠 with class and wisdom and compassion just a beautiful person inside and out a down 👎 to earth person thank God for people like you. Be bless 🙏🙏❤️💞💞
This is one of the most amazing , illuminating, powerful and positive podcasts. Thank you !! 👍👍🙏
She displays so much grace and amazing communication skills. I would love to see her speak in person .
Many people talk the walk.
Michelle Obama is such a great communicator. this is literally a masterclass
This is one of the best interviews I've ever watched, not just of Michelle Obama, but of anyone.
Wow. She is such an amazing woman. Watching from the UK x
She's a wonderful human being! Hey, I knit, too! I feel everyone should!
Wide open concept of mind itself tells a lot about her inside and her positive nature!!!!
The quintessential phenomenal woman; she is the real deal.❤
Wow! I'm always blown away by her brilliance.. her heart..and her beauty. I will listen to this interview over and over until I thoroughly digest the messages and the wisdom. The ending message's she shared were so powerful and necessary to hear. Thank you both for your enlightenment.
👏🏽👌🏽
Such a beautiful smart intellectual human being .....I love her and love listening to everything she says....Michelle Obama for president 2024!!!!!!!!
She speaks with integrity and is very relatable. Love the wisdom she continues to share it's amazing how much in common you have with somebody you only see in the media. God bless her and her family....
This is one of the best interviews I've ever listened to. We all need more Michelle in our lives❤
Not in mine
“Come home we like you here” I cried when she said that because it’s so relatable.
Unfortunately *home* is not always a safe and joyful place for many people.
SUCH A WONDERFULLY First Lady
I’ve been married for 28 yrs, I don’t need his air to breathe nor does he need mine, I so agree with Michele, these are special relationships! Especially when you love someone
Best interview ever!
So gratefully for Michelle Obama- we need more people like her in our world.
Resilience and Generosity to yourself and others is what I take from this! Powerful. Thank you!
Authentic, smart, and beautiful.
This lady exudes positivity, smartness, and beauty, This is a fine example of what a First Lady should be. Love her!!
One special and very strong lady. Love her!❤
Michelle spitting bars up in here.... Preach 😊
Omgosh I love her and how real she is. Thats a queen. 😊
what a fabulous interview! so many gems 🎉
❤🎉😊😂!
I appreciate this loving and fair minded woman whom I can call, First Lady that I’ve learned so much from and was able to expose my daughter to as she was my daughter’s First Lady that she grew up under and tried to emulate!
My daughter turned 2 when the Obama’s got into the presidency of caring for this country and everyone that was in it, thank you🎉
I think this Lady is a REAL LADY 4 sure.
One of the most inspirational people I admire in my life. It would be a privilege to sit down with Michelle and talk on issue I face alone as well with so many others. Just sharing POVs that are raw real and genuinely happening. I call them “stuck points “ but on a humanity and American citizen at large scale of things.
❤ greatly appreciate this episode. She’s one of my top favourite role models in my own life.
Michelle. I had such a wonderful feeling listening to you. I don’t feel there are enough of us that take the time to survey where we are in society. I know challenges contribute to our growth. Here is one. We as Americans need your knowledge. Our country needs your leadership. We pray for the day that our countries challenge is also your challenge. Waiting for the day I can put a big proud X beside your name for President of this United States of America. God bless
Her emotional intelligence and wisdom is incredible. I’m happy that she is always sharing her insights and being vulnerable with us.
Me too.
I love her!!
I looooove Michelle ❤ God bless her. I pray she sticks around for a long long time because there is a lot to learn from her.
Edit: I don't know the interviewer but he's great at his job. Much love from Uganda 🇺🇬 ❤
I never post. But this interview made such an impression on me, if I had to choose one friend in the world, it would be Michelle Obama. Her intelligence, grace, her passion, wisdom, but not scared to talk about mote sensitive topics and staying open. This is a real human that enjoys being in the present but evolves through the good and the bad and still takes it in stride. Im a talker too! If only I could be one of her people at the dinner table. Here's to keeping it true.😊❤❤❤
Ok commie
Wow I couldn't expect to like this a lot but I am totally wrong i enjoy it a lot i think I can listen to Michelle Obama for hours on end she is smart n so well spoken. Love it
Very insightful, I loved listening to Michelle Obama, one of the most important persons of our time.
First Lady Michelle Obama you are an amazing person. I admire you so much. You mean a lot to this world. You have the biggest heart. You had made me understand a lot of things. Thank you for being who you are. May god bless you and your beautiful family❤️❤️
She said: first of all “you pick well “ , pick someone you respect and like. START THERE!! Understand they or you gonna be deeply deeply flawed, and might make whole lot of mistakes, in the end you look in the eye and you go see the person you like, love and respect and you figure out!!! Love love Michelle. This is the best simple yet powerful message ive heard❤❤
Great words of wisdom about love and marriage. ❤
What a crock
Well I screwed up cause I didn’t pick well
You are hoodwinked. She has no skills for this job. She may be book smart and that's it. It will be Barry running the show just like he's doing right now. Do you like the current state of this country. You'll get more of the same or worse. You have to know Barry is a ghost president. Biden isn't capable of tying his own shoes. Don't make your vote a personality contest like the last election. Do you realize Barry is the "biggest divider in chief" and caused the division we are experiencing. It is because of him Trump was born. Obama is an elite and part of the oligarchy running this country. Kennedy is the only candidate who can clean house and unite us. Michelle(Michael) is a last resort candidate, otherwise she would have been the progressive pick long ago. BE SMART and wise up with the progressive movement and corrupt gov. VOTE KENNEDY 24. Follow him and learn about his policies. What policies does Michelle intend to institute? So far she only criticizes.
Wisdom? It was all rhetoric! Obama's are progressives and only agenda is to continue the demolition of this country. Please wiseup. A vote for a progressive makes you complicit in the destruction of this country. Kennedy ONLY candidate qualified to tackle corruption and reunite. Down with Trump/Biden or who ever else.
I just didn’t want the interview to end, she’s such a source of wisdom, clarity, and hope! The best role model
We could
All ask for as women! Thank you Michelle Obama.🙏

Great interview! I sure miss President Obama and 1st Lady Obama!
queendom! grace , elegance wisdom...simple a wow personality!!!
She's a great woman and very honest through her conversations all the interviews are truthful to her experiences.
Very good interview. Michelle Obama is very, very interesting!❤❤
I could listen to Michelle Obama talk for hours she is so captivating. And these were some beautiful questions as well
I love her so much❣️
She is just like good normal ordinary person who we admire because they symbolize the ideal from our hope and aspirations.
She doesn’t flaunt herself or her background.
Her sincere efforts for good health and health food and growing your own vegetables and being active and working out etc are what we need nationally and worldwide.
If we ever needed a woman leader then she would be a natural choice.
She is probably not a warmonger but she would be resolute and responsible quality knowledgeable leader.
She might be a uniter !
Such an amazing person with wisdom so far ....loved it
This lady is so wise. I could listen to her talk all day long ❤❤❤
Wow......
Love the interview with Michelle Obama, suche a interesting and informative talk with a intelligent Pont of view. She is outstanding .
❤❤❤ thank you !
Amazing interview!!!
Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
An amazing conversationalist
Well done Michelle!
Wisest marriage advice ever. She’s a special human and I love her spirit, wisdom, humor.
One of the best interviews I have ever watched, dozens of lessons learnt from this. Michelle is one among the Idols that we young people need to learn from on day to day basis. Her life journey is a testimony. God bless you all.
Sickos vote for Big Mike
If Michelle Obama ran for president, I think the majority of millennials and gen z would vote for her. This is the type of woman who would nail being the first woman president. She’s intelligent and empathetic.
There is no way Michelle Obama would ever want that role.
America doesn’t need a woman to run the country
Yea but it's not a female. It's a male named Michael.
Thank you Michelle for the courage to share your compassion and wisdom.❤ you are beautiful
Thank you J ❤
19:23 I agree. I deleted all social media and intentionally do not read certain things to help bring down my anxiety and to also be able to reconnect to myself and my family! It's too much sometimes, the noise!
I want to do this but I feel like I’ll be very lonely because it keeps me company. Any tips on how you coped?
Bless ya heart!
I AGREE! I have 'practiced' Yoga since 1974 and it is truly 'a saving grace' to embrace. It is a safe place to quiet my Mind, Body & Spirit. Essential for Me~! in fact, I have often said 'everybody should have Yoga in their Life'!
@@JS-kc2xs Join groups to make friends. Or just join groups for things you are interested in. Get out of the house and do stuff.
RUclips is also social media, but I hear you, everything in moderation.
I have to rewatch and write down some of the gems she dropped! She is a one of a kind First Lady. I’m afraid to took the Obama for granted! They are the epitome of leadership!
Literally… gems 💎 for life. Especially humans not being ready for the advancement of technology and social media & the harms. She couldn’t have said it better.
Just a remarkable human being the great energy, and compassion from both sides. Just a real person. ❤
Shetty is selling "program" lying to people that it will grant university degree - he is a scammer and a great liar
wow !!! after watching this.... It feels like I just visited/attended a masterclass ! You were right, Jay 👍👌 She is really AMAZING ❤ Thank you so much 🙏
"Maturing my passion". This is the strongest message I took from this interview. Michelle Obama will always be THE 1ST LADY. MY FOREVER FIRST LADY 🫂🫂🫂🫂
What an incredible interview about personal development. First Lady Michelle Obama epitomized it with her vulnerable and transparent stories and insights. Such golden nuggets for all of us. I appreciate how real she was…That’s so unusual and deeply appreciated. Thank you Jay for treating us to one phenomenal woman!
Such a classy, beautiful, intelligent, and thoughtful woman. Great interview!
Positive Attitude,Authenticity,Empathy, Adaptability, Reliability,Cultural Sensitivity ---all in one amazing lady I felt that ....Thankyou Jay Shetty
A brilliant, thoughtful, wise woman! A breath of fresh air! I hope this is listened to by many, many, many! Michelle Obama’s words are beyond an interview, and words to live by in every situation!!
Thank you for your tenacity, strength & endurance Mrs. (FOREVER) First Lady. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
