Michelle Obama says we shouldn’t be afraid of aging — and Oprah agrees.
In a candid conversation withas part of Oprah’s 2020 Vision tour in New York City, the former first lady, who celebrated her birthday on Jan. 17, spoke about the cultural and societal pressures for women to “stop” aging.
“We are in this culture where people are trying to stop it and then you have all of these frozen faces,” Oprah said. “I’m constantly judging myself too, just like everybody else,” she said. But, she added, making change is difficult because there is a lack of information available about what aging means for women in particular.“Women, our bodies change drastically in comparison to men,” Obama said. “We’re going through menopause.
In the absence of easily available information, Obama said she tries to seek advice and define what being healthy means for her. She said that she and President Barack Obama are finding happiness since he left office, and while serving as first lady was the “biggest privilege of my life,” at times, she said eight years in the White House took its toll.
