Michelle Obama is taking her mental health seriously.

Appearing on the podcast On Purpose with Jay Shetty, with her brother Craig Robinson, her co-hosts on the IMO podcast, the former First Lady revealed that she needed therapy as a “tune-up” as she moves through the next phase of her life.

“At this phase of my life, I’m in therapy right now because I’m transitioning,” Obama said.

Obama went on to acknowledge that she completed “a really hard thing” by keeping her family “intact,” as President Barack Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha have been in the public eye for almost two decades. For the first time in years, she can make decisions just for herself.

“I’m an empty nester, my girls are in…you know, they’ve been launched,” Obama said. “And now, for the first time, as I’ve said before, every choice that I’m making is completely mine.”

“I  now don’t have the excuse of, ‘Well, my kids need this’ or ‘My husband needs that’ or ‘The country needs that,’” she said.”So, how do I think about this next phase? And let me get some help. Let me unwind some old habits. Let me sort through some old guilt that I’ve been carrying around. Let me talk about how my relationship with my mother has affected how I think about things.”

She’s also grieving the loss of her mother, Marian Robinson, who passed away last May at 86 years old.

“So I’m getting that tuneup for this next phase because I believe this is a whole other phase in life for me,” Mrs. Obama said, adding that she considers therapy “coaching” and that she’s an “advocate” for it.
