In a podcast with Jay Shetty, Michelle revealed that she has become an "empty nest mother" and confessed that she is seeking help.
At this stage of my life, I am currently in therapy because I am in a transition period, you know? I'm 60 years old, I've completed a very difficult stage in my life, leaving my family intact, I've left home, my girls are already home... you know, they've already been released into the world
Michelle added that after leaving public service, she found herself in a situation where "every choice I make is entirely mine."
Now I have no excuse: "My children need it", "My husband needs it", or "The country needs it"
Michelle noted that therapy is a preparation for the next stage in her life. According to the woman, it should help her "get rid of old habits and deal with old guilt", as well as focus on her relationship with her mother.
So, I'm preparing for the next stage, because I think it's a completely different stage in my life
Michelle urged anyone who needs the services of a psychotherapist not to hesitate to contact one.
Rumors of divorce from Barack Obama
Last week, in a podcast with entrepreneur and investor Stephen Bartlett, Michelle Obama denied rumors of her possible divorce from her husband. The latest reason for such rumors was the couple's absence at Donald Trump's inauguration.
If I had problems with my husband, everyone would know about it. I would solve the problems publicly, like: "Let me tell you what he did"
Michelle admitted that marriage is "difficult" for her and the former president, but added: "I wouldn't trade him."
