Over the years, they've openly discussed their journey through marriage, parenting, and public life, consistently showcasing their deep bond. In a recent episode of the podcast "Moments That Make Us," Michelle Obama had. a deep conversation with her friend Melinda Gates about the challenges of perfectionism. "I think we all struggle with 'not enoughness,' and I'm still working on it," Michelle shared candidly. "You know, when you are a woman, a working-class kid, a person of color, there's always a proving right, because people, I have found throughout my life, have set my bar lower for me than I thought."
"If I didn't show up right, it would just be assumed that I didn't belong, that I couldn't." During their conversation, Melinda expresses how "lucky" she feels to have Michelle in her life. The podcast episode touched on various aspects of Michelle's post-White House life.
