  • Summary

  • Upon the release of her second best-selling book The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times, former First Lady Michelle Obama set out on a very special highly anticipated, six-city U.S. book tour. Inside intimate venues and in front of small audiences, Mrs. Obama held inspiring conversations with esteemed friends like Ellen DeGeneres, Tyler Perry, Conan O’Brien, Oprah Winfrey, and more.

    Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast goes beyond the book as Michelle Obama and her friends share personal stories and insights you won’t encounter anywhere else, and you’ll hear first only on Audible. Listen as they explore themes from The Light We Carry, like building meaningful relationships; issues connected to race, gender, and visibility; the habits and principles they have used to successfully adapt to change and overcome obstacles; and the importance of lighting up for others to reveal the richness and potential around us.

    As ever, Michelle Obama brings her trademark humor, candor, and compassion while she discusses her tools for living in today’s world with more luminaries like Gayle King, Hoda Kotb, David Letterman, and others.

    Light up your world with Michelle Obama in this fun and uplifting new Audible Original series.

Is this needed??? This is Michelle Obama guys.

No review needed. Her name is sufficient 🥰.

She doesn’t need anyone’s review. We all want to be fearless/comfident like her. I do all want to see the light we have in me. I need it to survive today.

a very important lesson

in today's world, everyone is struggling with loneliness, if only every one knew that each one is enough the way that they are.
no one needs to validation from others. only from within, the value of hard work,

I love to listen to her talk.

Listening to her talk is like looking into a mirror. You can hear all about her experiences as the First Lady, and still relate to her feelings and struggles and her realisations and solutions. there is something very very relatable and soothing about her.

Knitting helped me through the lockdown as well.. and that's what I held to.. the one stitch at a time is how I learnt to cope too.
