Summary

She’s one of the most requested guests of all time, and I am so excited that for the FIRST TIME EVER, First Lady Michelle Obama is here with you and me, in person on the Jamie Kern Lima Show! And I have to say, it’s one of the most inspiring conversations we’ve ever had on the show! She’s truly revealing all, and shares stories, insights and life-changing lessons she’s never shared before! Get ready to cry (she does in this episode too!), to laugh and gain soul-filling inspiration! And when I say we talk about all the things, we truly talk about all the things! Including the questions you submitted…I asked them, and she answered! All of them! From questions on regrets, to reconsidering running for President, to the state of our country, to body image and beauty standards (and double standards!). From learning to hear your intuition and trusting yourself, to the words her husband, President Barack Obama shares with her when she needs to restore hope, to how to Ignite Your Inner Light & Celebrate Who You Are with Confidence! In her new book The Look, Michelle reveals for the first time ever how she and her team transformed the scrutiny of her public image into a celebration of self-expression, inclusion, and impact. She also has a brand new IMO podcast series, IMO: The Look as well! You can find both here: https://michelleobamabooks.com/ And be sure to tune into her award-winning podcast, IMO, wherever you listen to or watch your podcasts!

I have guests on that might vote differently, love differently or pray differently from you and me because I believe: To heal humanity through love, we must first understand the humans who make it up!
