Honestly, nothing was so much of a Surprise. Michelle Obama was Exquisite, Highly Articulate, Poised, Dignified, Graceful in every way. However what to me personally was the most powerful message from everything she said was about Re-gaining control about one’s own Narrative because people trying to distort your truth, your being and your ‘personhood’.
How to bounce back from that, in the midst of all that she was put through. I bow down to that! Because I know how hard it is, and how personal it is, when some people want to make the world believe something you know FULLY in your Heart and Soul you are NOT!
I literally love your podcasts,at the same time I am getting better and better with my english as well as myself by listening your podcasts and different guests you invites.I admire the way you start conversation and the way you talk with your guests,I am able to connect easily.Hatts of to you Brother🙏❤Lots of love.
I'm sorry but that's what you chose to wear in front of the first lady?
It surprised me that she knocked Barack upside his head just yesterday! LOL j/k Great interview Jay! She dropped so many gems! Kudos
When my brother was shot at Fort Hood, we got to meet the president and Michelle Obama. She was one of the most genuine people I have ever met in my life. When she gave me a hug, you can feel that it was not fake and if there was love behind that hug. She looked me straight in the eye, and you could tell that she cared. It’s very few people that I have met in my life that are like her. She’s one of a kind for sure.
So sorry for your loss....for you and your family. Take comfort that you were able to experience true compassion with this experience.
Be well and be at peace.
@@dz7a756 Fortunately, my brother was one of the survivors. He was one of the 17 that was shot that day, and was one of the most critical other than the man that died that day. You can look up his story. His name is Deon Josephs. Ivan Lopez was the shooter.

I love the CIA too
I’m so sorry, sending support to you!
I can listen to Michelle Obama forever. She is intelligent, beautiful inside and out. No chip on her shoulder. My favorite First Lady this lifetime.
She? Lady? 😂😂
I second that @superpreet2011.
@@jackybrummelhuis8860Are you a man or he?
Same!!! She is the definition of class and integrity
Is it a black or white lie?
Forever...?what a boring people out there
What I realize about Michelle Obama is her amazing ability to switch between being down to earth and being sophisticated when the occasion so merits. She's Kool calm, collective and very intelligent in the way she administers her answers and delivery her points., much love to the Obama family.
I am always amazed at how grounded Michelle Obama is, considering the life she has had. She is such a great role model for young women of today.
i have never seen a better interview - this guy can really listen and can ask some really good questions
OMG please
Please what? --> @@scarletgen
Nooooo.
And this guy can answer so well
Hey @annapajmel5843 - then you have not seen many interviews ... have you!
“The bars are different for people in life ..” you learn how to be excellent all the time because you can’t be less than .”
Michelle is such a great communicator and definitely one of the greatest,smartest first lady of the United States.
“Come home we like you here” I cried when she said that because it’s so relatable.
Unfortunately *home* is not always a safe and joyful place for many people.
I’ve been married for 28 yrs, I don’t need his air to breathe nor does he need mine, I so agree with Michele, these are special relationships! Especially when you love someone
Her emotional intelligence and wisdom is incredible. I’m happy that she is always sharing her insights and being vulnerable with us.
Me too.
this interview literally just defined "with great power comes with great responsibility". Imagine being not able to live life like a normal people going into the cinema or walking down the street.
There were 2 things she spoke about that stood out to me. 1st, the number 1 rule this country should provide to every person in America is a home, food, education, and a job. That's a powerful Leadership speaking moment from Michelle Obama. The 2 thing is that powerful people Fear other people who they can't connect with or control, and powerful people are afraid they will lose more if this country did provide the fundamentals of the number 1 Rule Michelle spoke on.
BTW, Michelle and Obama are one of the best examples in the Internet Era of measured and aware public speaking. Such a wildly difficult position to do it and they've been absolutely brilliant ❤❤❤
Michelle Obama is such a great communicator. this is literally a masterclass
Principled, wise, brilliant, clear-eyed, authentic, sincere, unpretentious - with integrity in spades. She is unassuming greatness personified.
I love the Obama’s! Michelle said something that really stuck out. She spoke about having power. And the difference in her and others. Her powerful position, gave her opportunity to help others. Where as, other people in power, use it to self serve. Both the Obama’s will go down in history as smart and compassionate people.
❤🎉😊😂!
I appreciate this loving and fair minded woman whom I can call, First Lady that I’ve learned so much from and was able to expose my daughter to as she was my daughter’s First Lady that she grew up under and tried to emulate!
My daughter turned 2 when the Obama’s got into the presidency of caring for this country and everyone that was in it, thank you🎉
This lady exudes positivity, smartness, and beauty, This is a fine example of what a First Lady should be. Love her!!
If Michelle Obama ran for president, I think the majority of millennials and gen z would vote for her. This is the type of woman who would nail being the first woman president. She’s intelligent and empathetic.
There is no way Michelle Obama would ever want that role.
America doesn’t need a woman to run the country
Yea but it's not a female. It's a male named Michael.
Thank you Michelle for the courage to share your compassion and wisdom.❤ you are beautiful
Thank you J ❤
Wisest marriage advice ever. She’s a special human and I love her spirit, wisdom, humor.
I never post. But this interview made such an impression on me, if I had to choose one friend in the world, it would be Michelle Obama. Her intelligence, grace, her passion, wisdom, but not scared to talk about mote sensitive topics and staying open. This is a real human that enjoys being in the present but evolves through the good and the bad and still takes it in stride. Im a talker too! If only I could be one of her people at the dinner table. Here's to keeping it true.😊❤❤❤
Ok commie
please become President, Michelle! Everybody is hoping you do this one day! To save America from all the crazy and old guys!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mrs First Lady - you have served our world in ways we were completely unprepared for. God gifted YOU and your family with a light and a spirit of Love, and Compassion, and Boldness which has changed the world we live in at this moment in history. Much love and Grace to you. Thank you. ☀️💜🌎
Hate to bring facts to the conversation BUT... God doesn't endorse communists who reject religion or endorse censorship of his good book BUT... Demoncrats do🙄
I love this lady, she is so sincere, and I love watching her and Barack together cos their love for each other is so apparent 😊
TH-cam Victoria Nuland Leaked Phone Call. Ukraine was started by the Obamas.
It is so refreshing to hear two intelligent people discussing everyday issues at all levels of the spectrum
🎉
19:23 I agree. I deleted all social media and intentionally do not read certain things to help bring down my anxiety and to also be able to reconnect to myself and my family! It's too much sometimes, the noise!
I want to do this but I feel like I’ll be very lonely because it keeps me company. Any tips on how you coped?
Bless ya heart!
I AGREE! I have 'practiced' Yoga since 1974 and it is truly 'a saving grace' to embrace. It is a safe place to quiet my Mind, Body & Spirit. Essential for Me~! in fact, I have often said 'everybody should have Yoga in their Life'!
@@JS-kc2xs Join groups to make friends. Or just join groups for things you are interested in. Get out of the house and do stuff.
TH-cam is also social media, but I hear you, everything in moderation.
She said: first of all “you pick well “ , pick someone you respect and like. START THERE!! Understand they or you gonna be deeply deeply flawed, and might make whole lot of mistakes, in the end you look in the eye and you go see the person you like, love and respect and you figure out!!! Love love Michelle. This is the best simple yet powerful message ive heard❤❤
Great words of wisdom about love and marriage. ❤
What a crock
Well I screwed up cause I didn’t pick well
You are hoodwinked. She has no skills for this job. She may be book smart and that's it. It will be Barry running the show just like he's doing right now. Do you like the current state of this country. You'll get more of the same or worse. You have to know Barry is a ghost president. Biden isn't capable of tying his own shoes. Don't make your vote a personality contest like the last election. Do you realize Barry is the "biggest divider in chief" and caused the division we are experiencing. It is because of him Trump was born. Obama is an elite and part of the oligarchy running this country. Kennedy is the only candidate who can clean house and unite us. Michelle(Michael) is a last resort candidate, otherwise she would have been the progressive pick long ago. BE SMART and wise up with the progressive movement and corrupt gov. VOTE KENNEDY 24. Follow him and learn about his policies. What policies does Michelle intend to institute? So far she only criticizes.
Wisdom? It was all rhetoric! Obama's are progressives and only agenda is to continue the demolition of this country. Please wiseup. A vote for a progressive makes you complicit in the destruction of this country. Kennedy ONLY candidate qualified to tackle corruption and reunite. Down with Trump/Biden or who ever else.
This lady is so wise. I could listen to her talk all day long ❤❤❤
I would vote for her . When is she running I’m waiting for her to run so I can vote for her.
Michelle is so eloquent, intelligent and respectful. And real. I sincerely hope that she will continue to speak loudly and inspire young people to change the world. Thank you for this awesome interview.
He's a man. His name is Michael
@@erwynbalbuena9900hahaha
And even if it were true… so what ?
She or he made it.
Married a president.
Are you going to say the same about Melania?😅
I love the way she is so positive about life and marriage, now at days people quick so easily to things like marriage and life
She displays so much grace and amazing communication skills. I would love to see her speak in person .
Many people talk the walk.
Such a classy, beautiful, intelligent, and thoughtful woman. Great interview!
I have to rewatch and write down some of the gems she dropped! She is a one of a kind First Lady. I’m afraid to took the Obama for granted! They are the epitome of leadership!
Literally… gems 💎 for life. Especially humans not being ready for the advancement of technology and social media & the harms. She couldn’t have said it better.
She speaks with integrity and is very relatable. Love the wisdom she continues to share it's amazing how much in common you have with somebody you only see in the media. God bless her and her family....
She is what we need in the white house
We definitely needed Michelle Obama in our time, She is such a breath of fresh air.
Pahahah
Listening to mature, intelligent, authentic, adult conversation …mind blown 😮
I just didn’t want the interview to end, she’s such a source of wisdom, clarity, and hope! The best role model
We could
All ask for as women! Thank you Michelle Obama.🙏

Just a remarkable human being the great energy, and compassion from both sides. Just a real person. ❤
Shetty is selling "program" lying to people that it will grant university degree - he is a scammer and a great liar
A truly wonderful human being, May Michelle someday consider running for office as we all need more genuine and intelligent people overseeing important matters.Thanks for a really great interview
As an Irish person I think shes amazing. She was a truely wonderful first lady. We have huge respect for the Obamas in Ireland
I really like them too ..I am from Poland ...maybe most Poles like Trump
Why was she “truly a wonderful First Lady”?
What did the Obamas ever do for Ireland... OH yeah nothing.
You like BIG MIKE?
😅
I could listen to her all day. I’m Canadian and I have the utmost respect for you both. Feeling your passion for your beliefs and it is so comforting in a strange way.
You’re an amazing woman Michelle Obama 💜💜
Please run for president The Nation needs a true intelligent Leader and that You.
What an incredible interview about personal development. First Lady Michelle Obama epitomized it with her vulnerable and transparent stories and insights. Such golden nuggets for all of us. I appreciate how real she was…That’s so unusual and deeply appreciated. Thank you Jay for treating us to one phenomenal woman!
First Lady Obama is very intelligent. She is such a great role model for all of us.
She is an amazing woman, mother, wife and human being!! ❤❤❤❤
President would Only be the next step Worthy of Her Wisdom!!
One of the best interviews I have ever watched, dozens of lessons learnt from this. Michelle is one among the Idols that we young people need to learn from on day to day basis. Her life journey is a testimony. God bless you all.
Sickos vote for Big Mike
this is my second time watching this interview. Michelle's wisdom is all needed in this world.
She is just like good normal ordinary person who we admire because they symbolize the ideal from our hope and aspirations.
She doesn’t flaunt herself or her background.
Her sincere efforts for good health and health food and growing your own vegetables and being active and working out etc are what we need nationally and worldwide.
If we ever needed a woman leader then she would be a natural choice.
She is probably not a warmonger but she would be resolute and responsible quality knowledgeable leader.
She might be a uniter !
Omgosh I love her and how real she is. Thats a queen. 😊
She's a wonderful human being! Hey, I knit, too! I feel everyone should!
Love this! Her discussion of the “climb” hit home! Everybody is not ready for the climb.
Glad you love HIS garbage. Lmao. Big mike. Haaaahaaa

Many prefer to stay out of the nasty and vicious political fray.
“Staying open is a greater trade-off” - Michelle Obama❤
You mean mike Obama and Barry. Wake up. There all garbage
All of these years later, The Obamas still inspire me. Even though I have never met them personally, their genuineness and sincerity make you feel as if you know them.
Michelle. I had such a wonderful feeling listening to you. I don’t feel there are enough of us that take the time to survey where we are in society. I know challenges contribute to our growth. Here is one. We as Americans need your knowledge. Our country needs your leadership. We pray for the day that our countries challenge is also your challenge. Waiting for the day I can put a big proud X beside your name for President of this United States of America. God bless
Michelle Obama is such an inspiration to the younger generations. The journey of life must be open and random. Great interview Jay Shetty and Michelle Obama 💪👏
'Mature with my passion" alot more resonates. Going high is the mature way to live. Very inspiring ❤
This was the most inspiring and helpful Interview I’ve ever listened to. I sat through many tears as I realized many of my errors in life and appreciate so much, some elegant and honest, intelligent advice from one of the most beautiful women in the world inside and out. Thank you, Michele.
She's a great woman and very honest through her conversations all the interviews are truthful to her experiences.
What a smart women! So intelligent and warm and not afraid to tell the truth! We appreciate you Michelle
That last question and answer was amazing. It is exactly what is happening now. Spoke so much in so little.
i knew she was smart, but i'm really humbled by how much insight she has!
I love how she shares hard truths while not caring she will be judged for it.
This was a phenomenal interview. The questions by the interviewer were great. I loved her responses. I know she would never want to do it, but she would be the most wonderful FIRST female President. Just like her husband, I can listen to them talk all night. They give you a sense of peace and you know everything will be alright. Thank you for doing this interview! Amazing!❤❤❤
First female president with a pecker
Here in Europe, there is talk that Michelle Obama will take up the mantel and run for president as it becomes more obvious that Biden should drop out of the race. It doesn't sound to me that they would have been getting indications from hearing her speak. I think she is happy where she is right now. However, she might consider it if she saw that she were someone that would garner the support to beat our old criminal-in-chief.
Amen!
Hey Jay, Thanks for inviting this ironic, Intelligent and outstanding woman!
Lots of love from Ethiopia 💚💛❤
Such a beautiful smart intellectual human being .....I love her and love listening to everything she says....Michelle Obama for president 2024!!!!!!!!
Gardening, cleaning the house, doing laundry and cooking are my favourite distractions. The feeling is unbeatable 😊
Thank you for your tenacity, strength & endurance Mrs. (FOREVER) First Lady. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Michelle O is the perfect example of wise intelligence. Compassionate and so approachable, knows and understands the importance of wise leadership. Just glad someone is saying what we sometimes assume is common sense.
Agreed.
Michelle Obama is such a gem. There is no one like her and she is just pure love, one of the most incredible people this world has ever seen. Jay you are a gifted interviewer. Thank you and congratulations on having her as a guest. I hope you get Barrack on too as it would be amazing.
Her humility!! To have the status in life she has, the wisdom and the influence yet she is on eof the people. Truly. She is real and relatable. Thank you for having her as a guest and thank you for your style and not interviewing her in a mechanical style. Great interview
I found it to be a very thought provoking interview. Out of many approaches she touches on in this interview that I agree with, I have always appreciated and shared Michelle’s perspective on being open & allowing the “possibility of new” as she calls it. “I’d rather give people the benefit of the doubt than lose the possibility of someone special”. Hope you find this as insightful as I did! Happy weekend! 🔆
This too resonated with me.
She's simply gorgeous, Intelligent, kind and a strong hearted determined woman. What an inspiration to the younger generations to look up too! ❤
🤣
OMG! her husband changed our country we can't recognize anymore. Disgrace!
One of the most inspirational people I admire in my life. It would be a privilege to sit down with Michelle and talk on issue I face alone as well with so many others. Just sharing POVs that are raw real and genuinely happening. I call them “stuck points “ but on a humanity and American citizen at large scale of things.
❤ greatly appreciate this episode. She’s one of my top favourite role models in my own life.
Love how open and honest she is, shares the imperfections.
Seeing what has beeen happening in the last few and observing what is trending, Women like Michelle Obama ,who is intellegent, highly intellectual while being very compassionate and well respected , is going to be very very rare .She is a Gem
Love her!
wow !!! after watching this.... It feels like I just visited/attended a masterclass ! You were right, Jay 👍👌 She is really AMAZING ❤ Thank you so much 🙏
Ive learned so much, both of them are so delightful to listen to. Not an ounce of vulgarity. Can we get more of that?!😞
Michelle is a very intelligent woman 👠 with class and wisdom and compassion just a beautiful person inside and out a down 👎 to earth person thank God for people like you. Be bless 🙏🙏❤️💞💞
Americans can be so proud of having Michelle as first lady. So well spoken, such an inteligent and inspiring woman.
Wow I couldn't expect to like this a lot but I am totally wrong i enjoy it a lot i think I can listen to Michelle Obama for hours on end she is smart n so well spoken. Love it
I'm so proud to have her as a former first lady. To me, she represents an ideal mix and balance of qualities that are needed in this day and age.
She is an Emblem of Grace, to me. I am just happy that I have access to such powerful discussions and information. Much love from South Sudan.
Emblem of grace? Say, that is a nice complement. With a mouth like that I.would let you kiss my mom.
I looooove Michelle ❤ God bless her. I pray she sticks around for a long long time because there is a lot to learn from her.
Edit: I don't know the interviewer but he's great at his job. Much love from Uganda 🇺🇬 ❤
Dear First Lady you still deserve keeping this title .
You’re a WISE WOMAN, you’re a líder who encourages every woman in this country to be independent and to rich our goals as an individual person .
This country needs desperately a quality woman like you as a President to manage this country.
God bless you and your beautiful family 🌷👑
A great woman absolutely,president of the United States of America I would disagree…respectfully 🙏🏽
🎉Thank you Michelle for being open, sharing your lessons, grow and wisdom
Thank you for this interview. I love her and thrive to be a woman, professional, wife and mom like her, with grace, understanding, acceptance, wisdom and self-compassion. She is my inspiration.
You don't realise what you've really got until it's gone. Michelle and Barrack Obama were an excellent example of leadership during their time in the White House. I remember being so jealous that I wasn't living in the US during their time there
WOW I typically do not write comments but this episode has been just awe from beginning to end.. thank you Jay
Thank YOU for watching!
@@JayShettyPodcast. Thank you for your energy time and effort. We appreciate your share of wisdom and perspective.
I could listen to Michelle Obama talk for hours she is so captivating. And these were some beautiful questions as well
I've watched this many times. Her words of wisdom are just amazing.
I love that you interviewed Michelle! I love that she is so transparent! One of the strong women I look up to!
I am a Democrat and I am disgusted by the politics, today. However michelle and Barack are such a breathe of fresh air. She is beautiful intelligent and very real about the facts.
The Democrat politics of today were started by Barack and Michelle. They started it all, albeit in white gloves back then. Wake up.
This episode is filled with wisdom and inspiration. She knows how to connect with others void of arrogance. She is my hero.
Wow. She is such an amazing woman. Watching from the UK x
Powerful quote: "What keeps me up are the things that I know "
I love this interview between Jay Shetty and Former First Lady Michelle Obama. I have deep-respect for both individuals and appreciate their contributions!
I look forward to future Jay Shetty Podcasts. I loved his recent one with Jay Sean, as well@@Write_Me_Now_Digit_Above141
You are an excellent person and a wonderful human being. Thank God for creating you! The analysis is a wow. God bless you, big sister ❤❤❤
