Michelle Obama Talks Therapy, Marriage, and Living Life at 60

Former First Lady Michelle Obama is once more provoking powerful conversation across the nation—this time by talking openly about mental health, marriage, and the evolving journey of womanhood as she marks her 61st year.

In a candid and candid interview posted today, Mrs. Obama shared personal observations about how therapy has shaped her internal strength, how marriage to former President Barack Obama has grown through intention, and what it means to usher in the transition into her 60s with purpose, elegance, and authenticity.

“Treatment was never about repairing something broken—it was about validating my completeness,” Obama described. “It gave me strategies to handle life’s complications, not just as a public figure, but as a woman, wife, mother, and friend.”

She also reflected on the realities of long-term marriage under the public eye, embracing the evolution of her connection with President Obama. “There were seasons of struggle, but love deepens when you keep choosing each other—not out of habit, but out of intention.

“Now entering her seventh decade, Obama speaks passionately about embracing this phase of life not as a winding down, but as an opportunity to redefine vitality and purpose. “Aging isn’t a loss—it’s a gift. I’m still learning, still becoming.”
