Michelle Obama served as the First Lady of the United States, entering the White House alongside Barack Obama. In this candid conversation, she joins Steven with her brother Craig Robinson, a former college basketball coach turned executive, to open up about everything from Trump’s inauguration to marriage challenges, grief, and rediscovering her purpose.

Together, they discuss:

How their parents instilled empathy, discipline, and resilience growing up amid racial tension.

Michelle’s journey through elite schools and corporate law, driven by a need to tick society’s boxes.

The evolution of Michelle and Barack’s relationship, from colleagues to lifelong partners.

Fertility struggles, parenting tips, and what it really takes to sustain a long-term marriage.
