I love this woman. She is the type of woman you want as your grandma. Tell you the damn truth in love. Some people don't know how to do it and some don't know how to receive it.
ME TOO... I've learned so much about myself & family dynamic. Her styles of teaching really resignated with my personal LIFE. I am TRULY a more understanding person because of her.
I enjoyed seeing her outside of her work. I like her, she has a sense of humor with an inspiring and determined story to share. I must admit, when she first launched her show, I called myself accessing who she was solely based off of her delivery(antics) while coaching others. To be fair, I'm cautious when it comes to therapists (on tv), life coaches (on tv) and mediums (on tv). They seem so forced and too dramatic with their revelations. But I gladly stand corrected. After reading the few comments here and a pool of others that speak so highly of her and how she has transformed their lives, while echoing the exact same thing I believe I'll make time for Ms. Iyanla to fix my life.
Iyanla. A powerful black woman in our generation. She's very intelligent and very much aware. Nothing but respect for her as the work she does is not easy.
True. But she didn't have to when she started to act out Iyanla knew that her assignment was complete. It proved her theory; that she was broken and in denial, Iyanla knew what was going to happen the from the first encounter and when those untapped feelings surfaced Iyanla decided to intentionally leave that can of worms open for the young lady and her family to deal with.
Nah the lady that kidnapped her and raised her should've been aborted. The little girl was broken and broken people are just broken, hurt and lost. She's innocent and caught between two idenitties, I would've probaly acted the same way.
Jay Rob Yes indeed!! This phenomenal woman went against all odds (dysfunctional family, poor environment, hopelessness, etc.) and STEP outside her circumstances and became. Love it!!
My mom rejected me and I ended up being with my Aunty who is so, so, so much better as a person. Though it's incredibly painful to be rejected, neglected, abused, and abandoned by my own mother, in many respects I'm glad it allowed me to have my aunt as a mother. I would've never grown up to be the person I am had I not been in my aunt's care who is a very decent, kind, and ethical person, unlike my mom.
Jason Gafar Good for you for appreciating your aunt like this . God blessed you and always remember that . People go to foster homes and even get molested when their mother don’t want them .
Because of Iyanla I started my journey on healing from my childhood. I remember the first time i picked up her book I was 13 years old, now in my 30's it applies even more.
As an aspiring Social Worker, this woman is my idol, i want to write down everything she says... “i don’t take it on, i don’t wear it, and I’m not responsible for it. I listen with my heart and bring them back into alignment with who they really are.” ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don’t think Ms. Iyanla would want you to look at her as an idol, but an inspiration! She does have classes for certification as an Spiritual Life Coach! Definitely check that out 🌻
Fred the pothead I agree my grandmother is 89 years old and I LOVE talking to her and Iylana’s voice reminds me of that old auntie and her mature girlfriends voice when they would be in the living room and we were not allowed to be in the living room when grown folks were talking.
Iyanla is such a joy to watch. She has so much wisdom and her lifes purpose is so powerful I would love to have a sit down with her. Been a fan for years.
Karreuche really had the damn nerve to say she regretted doing Iyanla? The whole damn time her manager was trying to control what was asked and what was said. You can't 'manage' healing
Her manager was mad because Iyanla got in her ass Woman to woman escort Karreuche isn’t a woman, she’s still a little girl and her manager didn’t like the fact Iyanla wasn’t victimizing her
Regardless of how people feel about the work she does...Im glad she's here, and Im glad she has made her life's work to truly try and help other people heal. I enjoy that she keeps it real about the dirt she's done in the past, and still makes you feel safe. Aunty looks cute rocking this Ankara fabric! :)
+G Blair Many just dislike her. They dont like that she doesnt actually "fix" folx..but what they dont understand is...her role is simply to get people to see the issues within themselves...nothing can change or be done if people dont see the actual issue first. Ive seen people call her vile and really nasty names just because they dont like her show ...when all they gotta do is change the channel when it comes on.
I wasn’t expecting this interview to be so pleasant! Wow... so relatable. I felt like she was my cool, smart Auntie who has lived life and is just dropping gems for a living now.
*rejection is God's protection and that will give you redirection* ❤💖❤ YES!!! She *is* a teacher. I've heard her speak on a random evening downtown in Barnes & Noble a few years ago in union square and MAN I couldn't believe she was speaking about her life and testimony and lessons for *free*
yeah she was in their giving a sermon that line you said and God gives you breadcrumbs that leads you to the full slice OF BREAD!!! was nothing but the truth!
When she mentioned Kitenge I looked at the name and although it is not spelled like anything from that area but pronouncing it sounded similar. I think her surname is actually Owino (o-wee-no) but she opted for Oino on social media. It is a Kenyan name from the Luo tribe. Her profile has a video on Kenya that made me think my assumption is probably correct.
fashionisticdiva Same for me. But she from brooklyn (so am I) and alot of what she said was jewels. Especially, the part where she denounced the idea of letting another nigga problems bring her down too.
Iyanla has helped me be a better man & I've done some soul searching. I'm a Sexual abuse/domestic violence survivor an man when I tell you her shows be right on point!!!
If you haven't seen the interview with Bishop TDJakes, and you're a believer of course, then that's the one you should watch! It's not as "churchy" as you would think but I was crying half the video with the nuggets he was dropping...
I read her book "in the Valley" back in the 90's is changed my life! I have been following her for over 30 yrs. She drops nuggets and gems. We don't have to agree with everything or all her methods but overall she is dynamic
...unfortunately it has spread to all "urban" cities. I live on the other coast (SF Bay Area) and like NY metro area it looks like a shopping mall, everything's the same; we've been homogenized.
I loved this interview. Rejection is Gods protection even when we fail to realize it. Their have been numerous instances in my life where I thought I wanted something so bad whether promotion at work, dating a guy, new material items and it just did not happen for it. I worked against God to fight and keep those things and I constantly got rejected. Now I look back at those situations and at the place I am now and I can’t help but thank God for allowing that rejection. It just makes so much sense. It’s like when you see the people at church get in the spirit I fully understand why they are just so thankful that God has saved them and place them in a wonderful place in life. And he’s constantly at work. So off topic but that quote really touched me this morning.
Oprah is the GOAT! To feel betrayed by Iyanla, invite her back for a public discussion, recognize her mindset at the time based on her upbringing, forgive and still give her your platform to prosper???? Unheard of!
Let me get this straight....out of allll the conversations she's had with some of the most dignified figures in the world, you're basing her greatness off of the conversation that she might/might not have with...Monique? -_- lmao hahahahaa Monique probably has to have that conversation with tons of other people, not just oprah.
This interview was just what I needed to hear, going through a low point in life in regards to figuring out my purpose. Her words truly motivated me to follow the signs God has been giving me!
I love Ms. Vanzant and had since she came on the scene. She has always been brutally honest, a healer and can take you everywhere and anywhere in your spirit. I wish I was on her show. She made me think I could be a life coach but the world had other plans.
Chalamagne is the only one who could control this interview and keep it going. The other two have not continued to perfect their craft and it shows next to Charlemagne.
I think he's rude the way he talks over and cuts off Angela Yee. I think Angela is a good journalist (idk if she studied or what). She asks good questions and she provides context when asking questions. You can tell she does her research for each guest. Envy could benefit from a simple Google search. CTG is OK, but rude and overpowers interviews.
lebron Taylor Besides that, Envy and Angela are shallow. If it ain't goofy on the surface conversation they can't contribute. Charlemagne has the reputation of the trouble maker but he is also the most spiritually rooted.
That's what happens when your spiritual. You elevate your consciousness and this 3D reality isn't your reality anymore. You see life in a whole new way!
Saw Denzel, who was originally called Dinzil like his father, in Iceman Cometh. The role he played was not originally done for a Black man and Denzel handled his business and the racist remarks like the man of excellence he is. Kudos to him.
I like the fact that she herself is an open book. She not saying she’s perfect, she just can relate because she came from a dark place too and overcame.
TTG1973 Exactly, which is why I don't understand when people claim that she pretends to be perfect. It's like, she has _always_ talked about her flaws and the trials she experienced.
21:00 when she talked about having an intimate relationship with God ... & not what she learned in the church. Bruh, that’s so real. I’ve Received more hate & have seen more hypocrisy in church than I have anywhere else. I’m a preachers kid & I went to church every time the doors opened. I love God, I pray daily but I do not agree with everything I seen in the church... heck, churches (not saying they’re bad, because there are a lot of good churches out there). I just learned to have my own relationship with God & learn to love like Jesus loved. I can go on but that hit home.
- BenIsTooGreat I couldn’t agree with you more! I think Christianity is so fake and such hypocrisy but everyone is different! I know a lot of born again who have a very dark dark dark life !
I have elders, I have a strong village, but my God my life has gotten so much better from the first moment I ever heard this Queen’s voice. To have Her voice as council is a privilege.
Mike Carter explain? All I ever hear her do is give good loving advice what people choose to do with the advice she gives is up to them. What's fraudulent about her?
charles thon Iyanla: where does Jesus fit in Jesus : John 14:6 King James Version (KJV) 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. This helped me Jesus: Matthew 11:28-30 King James Version (KJV) 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 1 Peter 5:7 King James Version (KJV) 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
She is so beautiful and FULL I admire this woman and her perseverance but not only that, you can witness her healing through her words. Very self assured and centered.
Kenneth Peterkin She is broken and doesn’t even know it Iyanla: where does Jesus fit in Jesus : John 14:6 King James Version (KJV) 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
