Dr. Iyanla Vanzant Lives Life in Full Bloom | Trials To Triumphs | OWN Podcasts

Life coach and bestselling author, Dr. Iyanla Vanzant is no longer playing small. While the world may know her as a masterful spiritual teacher, Dr. Iyanla confesses to Ashley that there are some days where she forgets to embrace her full power. Dr. Vanzant shares how her phrase of the year “full bloom” is helping her live life to the fullest. The prolific author also opens up about the difficult process she endured to birth her most personal book "Peace from Broken Pieces," written after the death of her daughter. In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Vanzant reflects on lessons she’s learned from motherhood, the value of knowing your parents’ stories, and the importance of being
mindful of how you show up in the world.

Every single time I listen to Iyanla Vanzant, I receive something from her, some kind of knowledge that I didn't have before. She is an amazing person and I love her...btw I am white and her connection to me is NOTHING to do with race, we are humans first and this has nothing to do with race, it's called connection of souls.

[@dorothyedwards7225]

Same here.🥰🙏🙏👍

[@rosaway2345]

Her name is Iyanla

[@citygirlingraham]

@@rosaway2345 I made a mistake.

[@fanniekelley5944]

Yes she is very inspiring person. Why bring up your race though?

[@michellejones6744]

There are no words to express how much we love this amazing Queen. She is royalty, and you were privileged to interview her. We love you ❤ Iyanla. Great interview 😊

[@keiarapayne3206]

No words beloved (in her voice) 🥰

[@michellejones6744]

@keiarapayne3206 she's just that person that makes you reflect. Go deep

[@roxannadeshong3833]

Ms.Iyanla young women really need to hear from you . The more I listen to social media and hear women speak to younger women that because of their bad choices they want others to follow their path. Whatever platform you are missed and very relevant!

[@mrzbirthdaycakez1497]

She's Deceased 1910-1993 rip 💛

[@5995Jiol]

I need Iyanla to open a bootcamp every summer or winter for us young women especially for people like myself who grew up without mothers, there’s a big void in us that require a mother and teacher like her

[@ItzMii.2]

I think The R Spot is her school.. if you type it in KZbin lots of old videos come up of her seminars and classes .. Idk if she still does them like that

[@pamelavass5481]

Gurl !! I had my mom till she was 71 and I want to sit at Iyanla's feet !!!

[@DJLICLEMPRESSAKALICLDREA-rj2gg]

I feel the same way I kinda had my emotionally and abused/abusive mother who gave me up. Whole life is trauma void is huge for me

[@tiffanythomas1495]

May I be one of the million Dr. Iyanla awakens pls!

[@littlekris23]

Iyanla is the elder I’ve always needed. I don’t have elders that pour into me like this. I’m grateful for her existence and the gift she still choose to share

[@annescholten9313]

Dr Vanzant is living her truth: so inspirational.❤❤❤

Grateful to listen

[@Lily-kh8dc]

Queen Iyanla speaks life each time she opens her mouth. In such a humble and relatable way, yet so profound. Thank you💛💛

[@stephanieawuah]

I kinda want her to unpack the fact that "it'll keep bringing it back to you, if you don't get it". Lessons

[@leahharrison6244]

I believe this. If there is a lesson to be taught and you don’t learn it the first time, the universe repeats it.

[@CountItJoyAlways]

Daaaamn....I say that to myself!!! About the mother/father statement...I'm working on it....ayiyi....please release the mother book today!!!!

So very meaningful! These conversations,this book, our healing work will shift the culture. Keep going Iyanla 👑

[@roxannadeshong3833]

I can relate with this 😢

[@beverlywesley9438]

Act's of faith was the first piece of work i've brought from Iyanda. It was a tape. I brought from Robin's book store in Philadelphia. I was in the store looking for a birthday card for one of my brothers as i was looking i heard over the intercom system someone talking. I found the card,but kept walkkng around because what i was hearing sounded so interested,so when the talking stopped i went up to the counter and asked who was that,and they said a tape from Iyanda Vazant called (Act's of Faith) for people of all colors. I'm so grateful at that time i had extra cash on me,so i brought the tape. As of today.I have aleast 8 of her books. The last book i brought was (Peace from broken Pieces) i purchased in 2010 i was home receiving treatment from 2x time cancer,same as her daughter had that left us. What another beautiful encouraging Bless✝️💞 soul Ms Iyanda that the Lord has given to All of us that will listen& pay attention. Thank you My Father in Heaven. ✝️🙏🏽💞

[@keiarapayne3206]

I feel just like that woman. She saved my life with the God gift within her. Elder we love and respect you!

Ashley well done! This is a great interview.

I'm crying my eyes out having three children not knowing about this LOVE LANGUAGE ❤❤❤

[@blessedoverload]

I can't wait to meet you, I've been isolated and healing parts of myself I didn't know existed. I'm so inspired by you Ms. Iyanla your job here on planet earth is real. I'm not famous but I'm authentic. Thank you for your contribution ❤️

[@meghannluxuryhomes6139]

Oh my oh my… the depths to which this touched my soul. When you talked about fathering your children. I have dealt with immense guilt with my shortcomings in raising my children. So much of your testimony rings in my inner thoughts. I could say more but don’t have time. If I hadn’t spent 30 minutes putting on lashes and was driving at the time I would have cried out in the fetal position. However, life doesn’t stop. Thank you! Thank you! Your work is big. Both of yours! ❤

[@Lovetogarden63]

Thank you 😊❤❤❤

[@stormjacksonnsidefirst1042]

Beloved. I appreciate you walking in your gift in front of the world. Showing a different type of counseling, intervention that didn't let you off the hook of your own life. You had to face yourself and your part in it. The Starting Over House was amazing. The tools and modalities you used to get people to SEE themselves, when they refused to, although they were begging for help. And ooohhh that time you apologized to Oprah. I enjoy that you own yourself now! You are your own everything, so you can continue to share your gift with zero restraints. ❤

[@ScorpioEnergy247]

Such an inspiration! Her books took me out of a deep depression, she literally saved my life❤❤❤

[@littlestepperspreschool3278]

I love the idea of full bloom because when flowers are at full bloom, they are at their Pinnacle! Some fragrant, some not, but giving their gift to the world! It is lateral with life! ❤

Mothering and fathering.... profound. Watching in from Uganda... I love watching and listening to you Iyanla.. have done this for years

[@yvonnetaylor-bennett5658]

As always. Ms. Vanzant never disappoints. So many pearls of wisdom shared. Thank you to the young Queen who created this podcast and uses it to help us all learn and grow.

[@valoriegordon7362]

Why do we play so small. I think we think nothing about what we do here on earth. We're just passing through, doing what we do as we journey on our way back "Home". No recognition necessary. It's just the way some of us were designed

[@cotton-xb1xp]

Where did Iyanla learn all this? I am amazed. Now I know where I come from, and I can forgive myself . I am 73.❤

[@embracebehaviorchange5992]

Great job, Ashley. I love the thoughtful questions you asked. I totally agree that parents need to share more of their stories with their children as they mature. Keep up the good work!

[@deirdreyearwood3383]

Thank you Dr. Iyanla. I have been a problem child from birth and always told so. It has caused me tremendous hurt and pain all my life and too often I forget that I am a divine, unique creation of God. Rarely are we reminded of this as women of colour. I prayer that I understand that for the rest of my life. Thank you Mam, I have been a fan since the 1990's. You have blown me away, my Mum has been an absentee father who is unwilling to become a Mother and learn and grow and my father has passed, so there is no more growth. Once again, thank you Mam ❤

[@deityselah]

Love this!!!

[@benitahorn8818]

Queen Iyanla, Thank you for your vulnerability and truth. Still trying to improve my parenting skills. Giving grace to myself for my mistakes.

[@gladyw7037]

Im so saddened to hear Iyanla lost a second child. May God give her peace and comfort. We know there is no real tragedy in death, its simply a transition... but the hole and the pain is not a joke. We miss them so much. Till we meet again

[@tiffanythomas1495]

How do you find out what your child’s love language is?

[@s3572dc]

That’s a good question. I think that the signs are there usually. For example, With my child she’s does physical contact ( she jumps on you, hugs, and kisses, she hugs her friends when she sees them) so I know her love language is physical contact. Try to pay attention to some of the actions you see you child do or maybe what they say to you or their friends If it’s“affirmation”. Hopefully this helps.

[@tiffanythomas1495]
