Michelle Obama has revealed she is actively attending therapy as part of her effort to adjust to a new season in life. At 61, the former First Lady described herself as navigating the transition of being an “empty nester” now that her daughters, Malia and Sasha, are living independently.
In a recent discussion, Obama referred to therapy as a “tune-up,” helping her reassess old patterns and let go of unnecessary guilt. She emphasized that stepping back from the public spotlight and daily parenting duties has allowed her to reflect on her own personal needs and future aspirations.
Amid renewed public interest in her personal life, she also addressed speculation about her marriage, making it clear there are no serious issues between her and former President Barack Obama. She affirmed their bond remains strong and would not be hidden if ever tested.
Obama’s openness about seeking mental health support underscores her ongoing advocacy for emotional wellness and personal development, encouraging others to prioritize their mental well-being during life transitions.
