Sometimes poignant and other times comical, the two delve into everything from menopause to societal issues, and even the truth behind being social media’s #RelationshipGoals.
“We have to be honest about real marriage and the work that it takes to build a life with another person,” Obama tells Winfrey in the trailer. “It’s like all ‘hashtag relationship goals!’ and I’m like ‘I was mad at him in that picture.'”
Take a look at the trailer below:
Obama’s book, The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times, released in November 2022 and was an instant bestseller.
