As a bonus for our listeners, we're sharing a special clip from the "Making Space with Hoda Kotb" podcast.

 

While on her book tour for “The Light We Carry,” former First Lady Michelle Obama sat down in front of a live audience with her friend and TODAY show anchor Hoda Kotb. Equal parts poignant and funny, their conversation touches on everything from the moment Mrs. Obama left the White House that final time to the reasons she’s glowing at 58 years old. Hoda and Mrs. Obama connect on everything from raising girls to seeing the value in this stage of life. And, of course, how to tap into “the light” we all carry.
