“Craig is my big brother. He has done a lot of everything in life – business, coaching, basketball, television. He’s always been one of the very few people I can turn to whenever I need just about anything,” Obama said in the trailer of the podcast series.
Robinson then added, “And you all know my sister Michelle or Miche as our family has always called her.”

In an Instagram post, Obama shared the inspiration behind the podcast, acknowledging the complexities of today’s world: “There’s a lot going on in the world right now. We’re living through some really complicated and confusing times and on top of that, folks are trying to juggle family life, work dynamics, relationships, ageing parents, and more.”
She admitted to turning to her brother when she has anything on her mind. “He always has the insights, the wisdom, and the humor to get me through anything. Together, we’ll share our perspectives about some of your questions. And we won’t be doing it alone. We’ll be joined by special guests, friends, and experts along the way,” she added.
While Obama admits they don’t have all the answers, she promises plenty of opinions, learning, and laughter along the way. “Because we all need some moments of light right now.”
