Michelle and Craig will also bring on various celebrity guests—some of whom were featured on her earlier show, The Michelle Obama Podcast, including filmmaker Tyler Perry, and newcomers like actors Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer.

In addition to her own podcast, Michelle recently appeared on Work in Progress, a podcast hosted by actress Sophia Bush. There, she spoke about adjusting to life now that her daughters have left home.

“[Life] is whatever I want, Sophia. It’s whatever I want,” she said, describing the freedom of being an “empty nester” as liberating.

“It’s the first time in my life all of my choices are for me.”

Michelle also reflected on the broader societal expectations placed on women, explaining that when women begin to prioritize themselves, it can be met with misunderstanding or criticism.

“That’s the thing that we as women, I think… we struggle with disappointing people. I mean, so much so, that this year people were… they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.”

Much of the speculation was fueled by her absence from events like Jimmy Carter’s funeral and Donald Trump’s inauguration.
