During her tour, Oprah Winfrey sat down with Michelle Obama to discuss parenthood, marriage, self-love, aging, and life outside of the White House
tour, Oprah Winfrey welcomed 15,000 guests to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, where speakers such as Julianne Hough, WW CEO Mindy Grossman, author Rachel Hollis, and meditation leader Jesse Israel took the stage to inspire and motivate the audience toward wellness and purpose. Audience members included Lupita Nyong’o, Hoda Kotb, Niecey Nash, Nate Berkus, and more.
"So many people saw themselves in my story. It’s also a time for owning our stories, and I think that’s part of what resonated with people. A lot of people came up and said, ‘You were so vulnerable. Was it hard for you to tell your story, tell your truth?’... No that’s my story. I embrace every aspect of who I am," Obama said. "We gravitate to one another when we see the best and worst in ourselves because it makes us feel human. People connected to the humanness of the story.
Whenever there was a mention of her husband or the White House, the crowd erupted into applause. Winfrey asked if the two of them were enjoying their time as empty nesters now that their daughters are both away at college. She also spoke about her own self doubt, about everything from her abilities to her appearance. When Winfrey asked if she still has that doubt even after her bestselling book and position as a revered public figure, she responded with an enthusiastic yes.
