The Light Podcast

Podcast is presented by Starbucks and Into It.

Let's give a warm welcome on your feet for our forever First Lady,

Michelle Obama. Obama.

Hi everyone, I'm Michelle Obama, and this is a special bonus

and this is a special bonus episode of the Light Podcast.

Do you ever have days when the state of the world just weighs you down?

Not to mention everything that's going on at work, school, and in life, the kind of days

when you just want to crawl back into bed. Me too. Over the years, I've learned that those are the days when I need to connect with people the most,

even if my instinct is to just hold up by myself.

We all need that sense of connection with our

friends, our loved ones, our communities. And that's always true, but it's especially true during tough times.

Connecting is easier said than done, of course,

but so much of overcoming is about finding the courage to take that first step.

That's what I get into with the brilliant Heather McGee in this final bonus episode of The Light.

Heather is a best-selling author and commentator who has explored hope, fear,

and how we come together during divisive times

through her extensive work on race.

During our conversation, no topic was off limits

and we address some of the challenges of the past few years head on.

It was a powerful discussion and I hope it means as much to you as it did to me.

All right, let's get into it.
