Iyanla Vanzant On Maintaining Relationships, Feminine & Masculine Energy, The Power Of Silence +More 

"If a woman knew that her greatest power was silence...because then she can hear." That's deep.

Her energy, aura, presence and intellect is refreshing. I’m intrigued and I’m listening. Iyanla is a gem!

She’s a truthful minster, lawyer ,Healer and life teacher /coach

No body can replace Iyanla. Through her show it helped me.

I used to love her show. I remember when she made that man put all those baby dolls in his arms to symbolize all the kids he had 😂.

Fix My Life was such a game changer for the culture, we needed Iyanla and all of her lessons!!!! I use them to this day!!! "Your behavior diminishes your message" 👏🏾

I was behind her and her assistant in line at a local restaurant here in Atlanta. She ordered her own food and paid, I was so nervous because I wanted to acknowledge her presence without ‘blowing up her spot’. I looked at the assistant for permission and them said “hello, thank you for what you’ve done for humanity” she said “hi there 🙂 you’re welcome”. And that was that. She is genuinely humble, I love it 💜

I’m begging y’all to have ms iyanla monthly! Have her regularly this young audience needs to her wisdom and she’s also REALLY funny!!

Just having her presence on the show is beautiful and deep. I really miss seeing her energy in healing in our world. I can only hope that one day, she develops a school for gifted healers and help train other to go in the world and help heal. Our world needs it.

She speaking to the masses with this interview….. Love her wisdom and energy ❤

Her energy is what’s missing from a lot of younger women and I’m glad she’s here to help them reunite with their feminine energy.

One thing that I learned from Iyanla is that regardless if you’re right or wrong, sometimes you have to let things fall in your lap and take ownership. It’s sometimes the experience you give a person that makes it wrong or right.

Wooow this women is beyond amazing! She speaks facts and the wisdom is off the charts !

I could seriously sit and listen to her all day. Would love to have a mentor like her in my life.

Iyanla is a treasure for our community. She drops valuable gems 💎

She is so calm and intelligent. She controlled the room and me for 41:27 minutes lol

I see Iyanla Vanzant interview, I immediately clicked. Her knowledge and wisdom are so needed and greatly appreciated ❤❤

We miss you on tv Ms. Iyanla!!!! ❤️

For the woman to be in balance is a valuable contribution to everything around her 👑

I love everything about this woman. The way she commands attention just by being herself; incredible!

I sat smiling the whole time watching this. I love Ms. Iyanla ❤ so grateful for her. Kindred spirit

The reason people of all ages love and respect Ms. Iyanla is because she understands where she came from and pays homage to her ancestors who sacrificed for her. Many blessings for her.

I had everything Iyanla published at one point in my life. I'm a faithful devotee of Mother/Sister Iyanla. I was speaking with my 32 year old daughter last night and telling her how disgusted I am with my life because I am forced to be in masculine energy daily. I'm a FT caregiver for my 82 year old mother. I have no siblings and I do all that's needed to be done around the house including yard work. I just want to get a mani/pedi. I really don't think being a "strong, independent" woman is cute. Iyanla, fix our lives!

Iyanla is functioning in her correct stage of human development. Keep giving, some of us are listening!

Would love to see her on TV again. She is so needed. ❤

She said a woman can’t teach a man to be a man, she can only help him heal

I’m 53 and raised my 28 yr. Son with values morals. He is a true gem. ⭐️Treats his love like a Queen. Parents today need to do way better. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

This woman has done so much! When we talk about people who deserve their flowers, this woman is that person. She is the only notable black woman who had a national TV program about us getting therapy and tackling our internal issues and dealing with our traumas TEN YEARS ago. I have a lot of respect for her.

"NOT ON MY WATCHHH!" 😂

I haven't watched an entire segment of The Breakfast club in years... I'll be watching all of this today. This too good👏🏾

The way she refers to it as "The Walmart" and "The Target" just warms my heart ❤️🤗🥰😁😁

Queen Iyanla. I love her. I found my own healing thru her show. Still go back and watch it from time to time. I hope the OWN Network never removes it!

Iyanla come back WE NEED YOU!!!!!

I always tell my younger friends that they NEED a woman older than them as a mentor… they can teach you what women your age can not ❤

Iyanla is the ONLY therapist ive ever learned something from..."feelings buried dont die" #bars

Four questions to ask regarding your relationship: 1. Is this an important relationship in my life? 2. Do I value this person and do they value me? 3. Am I willing to take 100% responsibility for the state of this relationship? 4. Am I willing to do the work regardless of what the other person puts in?

“Silence” is a great power!

Iyanla books are life changing 💜

I miss Iyanla’s show, she’s the reason why I started seeking therapy. It took an episode to make me realize that I need help, she’s like that mother or big momma that everyone would go to when they need advice.

I felt real vibrations when Iyanla spoke on being quiet and still. So real. So true. I will be more conscious of this now.

Love this woman so much. There's a lot of people in the world right now that could use her guidance. Our generation forgets that we are our ancestors wildest dreams and a lot of people waste their lives or fake their lives.

Ill never forget when Iyanla Vanzandt was talking to Neffe, Keisha Cole’s sister, she called her “a nasty, vile, guttersnipe…that’s right up out the hood!” Lol!!!

As a culture, we NEED this woman’s energy and wisdom. She is a 💎

She got me through the panini! Saved my life a few times and every conversation seats me squarely in my purpose and my dignity. Never met this woman but she healed my soul. Put my broken pieces together. Continues to do so. 🙏🏽 God made sure I saw this today. I thank you.

I'm a woman & I agreed with every word Iyanla said. We are being programmed to be like men. That's not good. We have to be women again ❤️ It's nice hearing something of substance online for once from someone that knows what they're talking about.

She is why I found out what my purpose was! I couldn't figure out what I was put here to do. I am working on developing my gift. Her work in was not in vain. I don't need tv, and I'm developing my ministry, but this is what I want to do! Help folks find their healing path! Thank you Iyanla!!!❤️❤️❤️

I’m 24 and inherited “Acts of Faith” from my grandmother at 21. These affirmations have guided me and I thank Iyanla for her wisdom 🤍

I absolutely love Our Elders man!! I knew from the clip I saw on IG Auntie wasn't going to disappoint! Elders are really a gem that is dying 😭 but while they are here we have to appreciate their wisdom even if it's dished out a little harshly. I pray all the women that are 35 and under didn't take any offense to what she was saying. We need you Queens, you are loved and are needed. We got to stop giving up Our goods for little of nothing in return and I'm talking about more than just sex..we as women need to learn to support each other without any malice so we can then support our black and brown men without malice. We all are out here wanting and needing to be supported wholeheartedly. We have to take our power back! Cause we are tried, of leading in our masculine energy. I absolutely loved this episode ❤️

Iyanla was placed on this earth to be a spiritual mother who empowers and uplifts everyone who encounters her words of wisdom. She has changed my life. Her spirit is something words cannot explain. Love her!!

I love her! Everything she does she does with love.❤ I wish she could just hug me like she did that lady on Oprah😔 She is so nurturing and healing

I hope that she centers her rites of passage program on giving back and being in service to humanity and amplifying love and kindness and the connection to source energy.

My mentor, my spirit guide. My teacher. My matriarch elder who has led me out of strife and survival into a thriving life. I listen, read and watch everything she teaches. Thank you Ms. Vanzant. I can't wait for the Right of Passage Course!! Because of you, I have been able to help many others on my path, I have found my own ministry. God continue to keep you and use you to support us on our paths. 💜

The gift she has is so powerful

Iyanla Vanzant digs deep to get to the root of issues we face or have faced. She’s never caught off guard and just says something to give a response. I loved every minute of this interview and can’t for her next project. Wisdom/nuggets/Gems all that headed over to check out R spot !

I love how she came in bearings gifts and complimenting the black man 🤎 divine feminine energy ✨✨

We must bubble-wrap her...I absolutely LOVE her

She is speaking the REAL!!!!!!! Divine order! Iyanla V is so spiritually in tune.

She hit the nail on the head about the masculinity in women! This whole interview was phenomenal! Love her ❤

*Keyword: Doctor Iyanla Vanzant, I am here with my pen & paper whenever she speaks, she always drops gems. I love her laugh, it sounds like serotonin*

Wow. She gave me chills. Omg. I’m going home today to take my girl car to fill it up. But truly I needed to hear this. So amazing. I will be subscribing to her channel. Thanks 🙏 you God

You guys need to play this over the radio allll day until the tape breaks!!!!! This was all facts!

Her line, “I’m not arrogant enough to tell a man how to be a man.” Speaks volumes because that is what has been happening.

I love Ms. Iyanla. Not only is she wise and gives great life lessons, she is willing to listen to other’s experiences. She said she did not understand something so, she sits back and she listens. She doesn’t claim to know everything although she is a well of knowledge.

I was so focused on this interview I LOVE hearing wise people talk.

13:36 was a fucking bar, thats currently my issue and what's pushing me away from my fiancee, she doesn't have a social life and not many friends except for 2 that live out of state and she relies on me too much to be her female bestfriend and gets mad because I don't want to do the female things with her...this interview gave me so much peace and relief 🙌🏾

Iyanla preaching the gospel and hit the bullseye spot on about teaching the rites of passage for women. We all need this!

As a millenial from Arizona, enticed by this woman's words, I just wanna say thank you Iyanla, but also kudos and flowers to the man and woman who raised you

Iyanla Vanzant is the truth!!! I’ve been following her since that first show she when she was in a blue house being a therapist to others. She’s such a gem, a lil piece of Heaven here on earth. Her wisdom is unmatched as a Yoruba priestess she’s amazing. Such an inspiration

I still rewatch her episodes. I miss her being on TV healing people. ❤

It was endearing to see the level of respect that the men had for this queen...awesome interview!

I used to wonder men found me attractive. Many years later I understood why. It's because I was always very feminine!!! And, I have been through a lot of horrible things but it never changed me as a person. I wasn't hardened by those traumas. And, I was told by a man that I was too feminine!! Being feminine does not mean helpless! I have always been independent but I want to be treated like a lady in the presence of a gentleman. Iyanla, you're right about how you carry yourself. Thank you!!!

I Grew Up Watching Her As Punishment. Anytime I Got In Trouble In School I Had To Watch Fix My Life - Years Later, Now Im The Immediate Problem Solver In My Family 😂

My God!!!! This was such a beautiful, open, honest, and necessary conversation that We all need to hear and receive. Iyanla is a light worker and doing real work to heal this planet 🙏🏽

I wish she was my therapist, love her.

I love this woman. Her wisdom resonates through generations. I hope the youngins are listening.

I would love to meet her one day. She's saying things that I've been dwelling on for a while. As women and as wives, atleast for me growing up in the 90's I was taught this prince charming / cinderella fairy tale or had the impression that men can do it all. They are men, they are strong, they are leaders. And though those statements are true, it doesn't educate women on how much of our energy needs to go into our men. Our men have fears, battles and weaknesses like any other human being. So we have to steer and aid in adding stability, guidance, reassurance, health, nutrition, balance into our households. And yes the foundation of that is knowing who you are as a woman and developing that. There's no love like a woman's love and people who love thier mother's understand this. A woman takes a mans seed and turns it into another person. Growing a baby by doing nothing but taking care of herself. Feed into yourself because when you are better everything around you get be better.

She’s a very power lady with great energy we need her back on TV

This woman is a gem. Her show dealt with the most extreme cases of dysfunction, and with every situation she was able to break it down from the core. A lot of times, the core was generational… a lot of times, it was simply behavioral. But her ability to peel those layers and bring it to light:: unmatched. I pray for her, for her ministry, her family, her daughter… I wish for another leader like her.

A woman’s greatest power is SILENCE!!!! Wow this is sooooo goood damn she don’t miss a beat!

Iyanla and her divine wisdom always gets my undivided attention.

I love her energy

I always hang on to her every word!! I was so disappointed when this interview was finished. Like: I thought this was supposed to be forty minutes.... Time just flew right on by it was so good!! I needed about three whole hours of hearing her speak!! She is truly informative and nurturing. 💖💛💖

God I LOVE Iyanla & the breakfast club! "Older women give you worms", "Cheap thrills in the gas station", "It's in the grits"! " You may sneak around the corner & give him alittle bit" "The fish stop swimmin"."He'll be back or not". These gems are examples of how comfortable this woman is in her skin and always delivers her points with some sugar & fun!

Charla Really listens, see his face, so focused. That's why he's such an accomplished interviewer.

Ms Iyanla, it was your show, The R Spot that taught and helped me to find and keep a wonderful healthy romantic relationship with a man❤. I am forever deeply grateful 🙏🏾 ❤

She’s so amazing. I could listen to her talk all day. ❤ Great interview and insightful conversation!

The woman has so much power! We're literally the mothers to children and also mothering the husband's in ways. We give life , gotta cook, clean, take care of everything when we don't feel good! I'm not saying a man won't bring anything to the table or do equal. But look how much a woman has to scafrice 😢 it's really like we make the world go round

she's been a guest of theirs a few times....this is the broadcast I needed to hear. I dont know if anyone else has noticed, but Iyanla is STILL evolving. Like, there's a BETTER difference between the guest they invited on, the last time..and the one that showed up this time. She's even calmer, now..and more at peace with herself. Its infectious.

Our people need more women with her knowledge, Hickma and wisdom. The black family is weak man ,woman, children,grandparents, aunt's, uncles,cousin's ,brothers and sisters.. I really appreciate this sisters I mean elder. I took something postive from it and it just helped me as a man a father a husband.

16:05 this part touched me. I love that she speaks of accountability but at the same time acknowledge the hurt is still there.

These are the conversations we need to have as people of color. Until we have more of them nothing will change🙏🏾

I throughly enjoyed this conversation! I am all ears when Iyanla speaks

Yessssss....balance....I FEEL THAT. As we women we DO NEED THE BALANCE. YASSSS MA'AM!

I love Iyanla. This conversation was a good listen.❤️

This Queen is still beautiful as hell inside and out.. Truly an Earth Angel

I love Iyanla so much! I could listen to her talk for hours

Love Ms. Iyanla, she reminds me so much of my mom, their teaching strategy is so similar, such style and grace she possesses. I remember attending a seminar in MD about 6 years ago and she had each group of women stand ( separated by their decade) and she spoke over each decade and what we shall be! She's a #classic

We love when you guys bring good positive energy to the BC. Should have bought her when loud mouth Tamar was on JOKEY JOKE!!! 😂

I love the way Envy looks at her. Like a loving son it’s so adorable.

I love her for speaking about this. Why do people feel the need to talk about theirs sexual energy. As a gay man I feel no need to make it known I'm gay, it is what it is and I don't have to explain it. Straight people don't do it, it is what it is. For me it makes gay people look needy for attention. If you're 50 and people don't hear you talking about girls or dating girls then why ask is he or she gay. It makes no sense
