First episode of season 2!!! Raise your glass because the Gal’s Guide Podcast is back and bringing you inspiring, fun and shocking stories about First Ladies. We voted to go in reverse chronological order so first up is Katie’s 1 Cool First Lady, Michelle Obama! We focused on the ever-changing expectations on a FLOTUS and yet how to handle it with grace, a partnership, and a campaign promise.
