Michelle Obama has revealed that she is currently in therapy as she navigates a transitional chapter in her life.
In an honest conversation on the “On Purpose” podcast with Jay Shetty, the former First Lady spoke about the challenges of becoming an empty nester, letting go of guilt, and preparing herself mentally for what she called the “next phase” of life.
“I’m allowing myself to reflect, to live a life that is freer, which is something that I still have to work on – to let go of the guilt,” Michelle admitted.
“I need to learn how to live again in a different space. And that’s one of the reasons why I’m in therapy.”

Addressing marital speculations
Michelle‘s vulnerability comes at a time when online speculation about her marriage to Barack Obama has been swirling.
However, she has remained firm in defending the integrity of their relationship. In a separate podcast appearance in April, she tackled the divorce rumors directly: “Barack and I have a very strong marriage. We’ve had our ups and downs like every couple, but there’s nothing going on.”
She explained that her decisions to skip public events like Donald Trump‘s inauguration or former President Jimmy Carter‘s funeral were not about her marriage but rather about protecting her peace.
“I’m at a point where I am choosing me,” she said. “I’ve been there for everybody, and it’s time I make space for myself. That doesn’t mean my marriage is failing-it means I’m growing.”
The therapy sessions, as she describes, are not a response to crisis but a means of “tuning up” mentally and emotionally to remain grounded.
Michelle also shared that she has struggled to shed the burden of always being perfect, a pressure she’s carried since her days in the White House.
“You just get used to being needed. And then when that need shifts, it’s like, ‘Well, what do I do with myself?'” she said.
Michelle’s openness about her mental health and commitment to personal development reflects her ongoing role as a public figure advocating for emotional resilience.
Her candid reflections are not only a source of inspiration for many but also serve to counter the rumor mill with transparency and authenticity.

NBA DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy basketball picks for Wednesday, May 7 include Nikola Jokic
Imagn Images Having lost home-court advantage in their respective teams' series, stars in Wednesday's NBA DFS player pool like Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may look to be a little more aggressive than normally in tonight's games. Daily Fantasy basketball managers could take advantage of that expected mindset and target those options for NBA DFS lineups. However, those who are up in their series like Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Nikola Jokic are greedy and want more than just a split on the opposing team's home court. Which group of star players should factor into your NBA DFS strategy?You could also mix and match between the two groups, while complementing them with cheaper options. Payton Pritchard and Miles McBride both had double-digit points in Game 1 of the Knicks vs. Celtics series and won't do too much damage […]

Casagrande indica “grande time” que precisa abandonar soberba na Libertadores: “Obrigação”
Casagrande, em entrevista à ESPN (Reprodução) Casagrande, antes do Flamengo encarar o Central Córdoba, trouxe um alerta ao Rubro-Negro. Apesar da campanha irregular na Libertadores, o ex-jogador acredita que é obrigação do clube carioca garantir o primeiro lugar do grupo. Além da superioridade financeira, o nível técnico superior ao Deportivo Táchira e LDU, demais integrantes da chave, motivaram o discurso. “O Flamengo tem um grande time. Tem obrigação de classificar para a próxima fase da Libertadores, seria uma tragédia (eliminação). Eu acho que o Flamengo, concentrado e focado e sabendo que precisa jogar pela vitória, ganha a partida. O Flamengo tem time para passar em primeiro lugar no grupo.”, disse Casão, no UOL News Esporte.
