Michelle Obama Shares Emotional Experience Leaving the White House in Debut Episode of New Podcast

Former First Lady Michelle Obama recently opened up about her emotional experience leaving the White House after eight years in office. In the debut episode of her new podcast, “Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast,” Obama candidly shared her experience of taking her last flight aboard the presidential airplane after Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Obama recalled the moment she and her family left the White House, saying, “When those doors shut, I cried for 30 minutes straight, uncontrollable sobbing, because that’s how much we were holding it together for eight years.” She also noted that there were not many people present at the inauguration, contradicting Trump’s claim that a massive crowd had turned out to witness his swearing-in.

The podcast audio comes from the former first lady’s recent book tour for her third book, “The Light We Carry,” which reflects on how she’s dealt with relationships, self-doubt, and other issues. Obama has been open about her struggles with the transition from the White House to civilian life, and her podcast is a continuation of her effort to share her story with the world.

The former first lady has been vocal about her support for the Biden-Harris ticket, and has been actively encouraging people to vote in the upcoming election. She has also been advocating for the importance of mental health, and has been using her platform to encourage people to prioritize their mental health and well-being.

Michelle Obama’s “The Light Podcast” is available on Audible, and is a must-listen for anyone looking to gain insight into the former first lady’s experience in the White House.
