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.

Widely regarded as one of today’s most influential voices on leadership, identity, and social progress, Michelle offers a rare, intimate look at her personal journey.

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.

Navigating life in the White House, grief, personal boundaries, and rediscovering her true calling.
