While discussing mental health and going to therapy after eight years in the White House, the 61-year-old addressed rumors about her marriage.

Gossip was initially sparked when Barack notably attended two back-to-back high-profile events in Washington D.C. solo.

Despite the optics of Michelle's husband attending former President Jimmy Carter's funeral and Donald Trump's inauguration without her by his side, the former first lady insisted she was merely living out her decision to "own her life."

Michelle explained she had reached a "stage in life where I have to define my life on my terms for the first time."

She added: "So what are those terms? And going to therapy, just to work all that out, like what happened that eight years that we were in the White House? What did that do to me internally? My soul, we made it through. We got out alive. I hope we made the country proud. My girls, thank God, are whole. But what happened to me?"

The mother-of-two said therapy enabled her to embrace the word "no," including on RSVPs for D.C. events.

Michelle claimed her decision to skip Trump's inauguration was because it was the 'right choice' for her.

She said: "My decision to skip the inauguration you know, what people don't realize, or my decision to make choices at the beginning of this year that suited me were met with such ridicule and criticism, like people couldn't believe that I was saying no for any other reason, that they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart, you know?

"It's like, while I'm here really trying to own my life and intentionally practice. Making the choice that was right for me. And it took everything in my power to not do the thing that was perceived as right, but do the things that was for me, that was a hard thing for me to do.

"I had to basically trick myself out of it."
