My mother told me 30 years ago, "When you get tired, you're do something about it. You aint't tired yet" This applies to everything in life. Thanks mom

[@lninas2003]

My mom says that very same thing and it’s absolutely true! When a person gets tired they will change their situation.

[@QueenInCursive]

Keke said: I’m not gone tell Iyanla all my business, but I’ll ask a few questions. 👏🏽

[@BreyelBanks]

Yes, it’s giving she needs some advice on her and child father’s situation and she truly got the message that “Everything we attract begins with us” 💚

[@bigqueen4020]

Lol her business is out here, which is why she invited her. And I am so glad she invited her, because the “podcasters” think they ate. People can talk about any and everything, BUT can they show their work? Ya know? I love these moments for those of us.

[@jojopowe1150]

She is doing the work while so many are walking around ignoring it and stuck at the age where it happened and not progressing.

[@BriaSlack_]

I love how much Keke embraces her mom on this podcast ❤️🥹

[@CJ-dg3bm]

She's right do what they ASK you to do if you can and not what YOU think they need. I've been saying this for years!!!!

[@MsNdrstd1]

i love how her mom and her communicate, modeling openness and honesty for other motherssnd daughters....beautiful

[@Rosierx1]

The difference between HELPING & SUPPORTING is definitely something I needed to hear! I have a bad habit of HELPING people & then getting my feelings hurt when they don’t appreciate it. Whole time, they ain’t even ask for it! This episode was definitely one of my fav’s 👏🏽💕💕

[@dieketsengellenmpolokeng-m5103]

Same!!!! 😢😢😢

[@adriennebrailsford6291]

Same! That totally jumped my mind into some moments where, I may have made peace with it all to get on, I had to accept that my un requested “help,” exchanges made with others -void of communication from both parts, often times was some toxic bull under the guise of my own delusional good intentions. Working on self acceptance, valuing myself, enforcing and defining boundaries while effectively communicating and understanding what folks are communicating and asking of me is where I believe I need to hone in on

[@dixierobinson3955]

Same here with me!!!!!

[@SB-jt1ur]

Yes! 👏🏾

Whew that’s gone get loud 😂😂😂😂 but I would be all for it!

How? She's not healed.

You just gave me life miss ma’am!!!

[@jaeworld3596]

Keke is so funny. I love when she stated what Iyanla said in one of the episodes of "Iyanla Fix My Life," "Not on my watch."😂😅😅😄🤣😆

[@Goodakeraretha]

😊😊😊I love it ❤

[@diamondqueen7098]

Ikr 🤣 bet she had been wanting to say that for years and got her chance. Then BAM, Hit her with it! It was fun to watch.

[@Deerlovee]

I can never get enough of Thee Iyanla Vanzant NEVER I wanted her to keep pouring out her wisdom, knowledge and just advice wow she is such a DIAMOND 💙

[@seajduff]

Facts, I feel their should be someone being developed to walk in her place u can train some one that will see and develop the instinct to go forward in her journey

[@Deerlovee]

@@seajduff wish it could be me

[@jermainedrayton7611]

This help vs support is POWERFUL

[@kimberlyturner4065]

KeKe your Momma is so dope!!! Blessings on Blessings 🙏🏾

[@audrineeyjohnson6016]

OMG She has sooo much wisdom. My friends got upset with me when I said I wasn’t going to therapy with my ex husband. I refuse to go because I didn’t raise him. I told him he needs to go the therapy and bring his mom, grandma…,whoever raised YOU and taught you values.

[@sincerelysandi]

@audrineeyjohnson6016 wow! your comment is so interesting, but I surely feel this☮💜

[@CocoChanelle-1]

The therapist usually work on that person first to get to the root of what caused the emotional problems and then slowly bring key people in to discuss the issues. If you were a key person then You were supposed to go to a session when the therapist deemed it. YOU are not perfect either because YOU are human.

[@ThePurplePillPerspective]

@@CocoChanelle-1exactly! She sounds like the problem by stating that she’s not going to go and he should go get his mom and others. Hello 👋🏽, hello and you’re perfect?

[@ericaaubie860]

audrineeyjohnson OMG IF IT AFFECTS YOUR MARRIAGE OMG WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GO WITH YOUR HUSBAND??? THAT IS CRAZY TO SAY GO WITH YOUR MOTHER. IT THE ISSUES HAVE TO DO WITH HIS MOM OK. BUT, IF IT HAS TO DO WITH MARRIAGE THEN THE TWO OF YOU SHOULD GO.

[@eyecyou84]

The velocity in which I clicked on this interview was ridiculous. Lol! I am so happy you had THEE Mutha Iyanla VanZant on your show. You need to do like a two or three hour show for her because y'all simply scratched the surface! This was so good and I feel that I learned so much in a little bit of time. That "help" vs. "support" conversation was for me! Thank you and keep these fire interviews coming, KeKe!

[@markkinkle7038]

The way I almost clicked, then knew the video was going to be a word, and choose to hold off because it was going to MAKE me read myself. Glad we both made it! :)

[@wamutogoria]

I love Iyanla, She has a way of speaking right to the issues in clear terms.

[@melviniksimmonslcsw8026]

As a therapist myself this was so enlightened. I will continue to normalize therapy because everyone deserves to be heard and live in their truth.

[@b-lodeedee]

KeKe is so emotionally intelligent to be as young as she is. I love listening to her perspectives on everything.

[@Kay_DT]

Yes she is! I didn't even think about or wasn't aware of my lack of emotional intelligence until I was older and did some self reflecting. I so love that about her🤎🤎

[@_ReginaPhalange]

🤔 Yet she's going thru typical baby mama drama? Lying to get the kid.

Her aura is soooo bright I absolutely adore Ms. Iyanla

Two of my favorite public figures. Iyanla VANZANT!!! Love you Keke girl

[@BabydollTanner223]

Her book “Until Today” is hands down the best, therapeutic, and most transformative book I’ve ever read. BUY IT AND YOU WILL EVOLVE

[@gatumbo]

Been sitting on my bookshelf. I’ll get to it!!

[@legenaSmorhers]

​@@gatumbo what's the name of the book?

[@serenasmith5946]

Could you tell us whose the book by name of person thank you!

[@khismet]

Book Title: Until Today!: Daily Devotions. Author: Iyanla Vanzant

[@karessk9972]

Her mom said some real stuff!! If you go to the WRONG counselor you can go through a whole lot of stuff. I had one counselor re-traumatize me and created new trauma. So yea you have to absolutely be careful and if you don’t feel comfortable with the counselor that your with get rid of them immediately don’t keep going back trying to see if it will get better. PLEASE DONT DO THAT. You may have to go through a few of them before you can find the right one and that’s okay.

[@treasurcanada5953]

Me also talkin bout bs and no empathy

[@dakotac180]

EVERYONE NEEDS MS. IYANLA Both these women exude a glow of light but Ms. Iyanla is an elder that is such a wise queen.

[@msshaunamosley]

Aunty Iyanla is such a gem!! Keke is as well. Protect these Queens at all costs!!🖤👑

[@LotusHelpsHealingCollective]

WHEW. This is my whole story from being traumatized, padding, healing slowly, taking my power back and walking into my purpose to use my energy and voice to assist other’s in their healing.

Keke please interview Kerry Washington next!!! Love your podcast so much!!

[@crystalhaynes5472]

[@mele9131]

Keke is so mature! I'm always amazed she is so young.

[@tamekawhitney2049]

I loved every second of this episode ♥️ When I read Iylana’s book “yesterday I cried” it… SHE changed my life! I had so many skeletons buried and so much hurt and pain bottled up, that I cried for 6 year old me and Rhonda, & then again for 22 year old me and Iyanla’s liberation. I began to have the hard conversations with myself about MYSELF and my very dysfunctional family. I will always be grateful to the Divine Creator and Establisher of ALL for enveloping her spirit and allowing her to come through those moments of discourse, so that her light could shine bright and her voice of truth could be introduced to the world so the universal healing could emerge!

[@starjohnson1119]

I love that book.

[@tamekawhitney2049]

@@starjohnson1119 THAT book was a revelation for me.

[@nadiyahluster9756]

I need a part two ASAP !! Amazing and needed episode!

[@innocentlife2346]

I got tired of complaining, counseling, coaching trying to fix the situationship that I was involved in over 3 yrs. 🤦When person I once knew of was emotionally unavailable! Kept trying to rebuild the person unto my standards. 🤦Until it broke me down emotional trauma. And knowing the first day meeting this individual, God showed me a lot of red flags. 🤦Being disobedient and knowing God gifted me with discernment😪 was my punishment of leaving out of God will on pleasing man. 😢 Me going off of emotions of picturing myself in the other person position , than knowing God wasn't a part of this plan from the beginning. Now, I am healing in all areas. Dating will never be the same for me anymore. Wish Keke could bring me in on her podcast! Its so many stories just of my entire life from childhood that's hidden. Ima probably need to make my own podcast on interviewing myself 🏌️on bringing awareness. But the only problem I am still healing, and these tears 😭 of mines kept be held bck.. Don't wanna go b4 the world like this..🌎 🎤

I ❤️ this interview with her mother. such a wise woman. God knows exactly what you need , even in the times that you’re not aware of what you may need.

[@tiah2651]

Iyanla is preaching today!!!!! i felt all of this im writing this down!!! When you are supporting someone you do what they ask you to.. not what you think that needs to be done!! whew i felt this!!!

[@ifrahmansour]

My goodness, I need it to hear this today, the invisible ache or the 5 y/0 running our adult lives. Gratitude

[@tturner2789]

This was such a wonderful interview. Wisdom overload!!!

[@quintenisliving7204]

Keke is a brilliant young woman. ....she is the future.

[@meekmeek1111]

My daughter notice the relationship with her dad was causing her stress, she decided at 16 she needed to see someone. I found a therapist for her within a week. It also help her determine what toxicity truly meant, she completely disconnect with him. I’m so proud of her.

[@kimjackson2061]

This was a therapy session for Keke, talking to Iyanla. Keke was asking very specific questions that seemed to be very closely related to her very public fallout with the father of her child.

[@Nike5221]

I was waiting for someone to comment and acknowledge the very public fallout

[@Allinmyworld]

Keke, you are so wise beyond your years. You're self awareness is something people strive for years. I love this conversation and with your mom. Sometimes our kids can be our teachers are well guiding us and letting us try new things.

[@TR-zn2zh]

That reframing memories to fit your agenda was so real the way Keke articulates her ideas is so impressive to watch ….

[@thetruth8280]

Therapy and talking to the Pastor is good...because we need to get the physical and the spiritual house in order In Jesus Name Amen

[@vernitajones884]

I'm in my 70s too I'm 77 and I choose I make the decision love it 🙂♥️

[@IamTheRealKeesha]

30:35 I resonate so deeply with Keke’s exhale after Iyanla explained the difference between helping and supporting others….. that was most definitely a “had I known then, what I know now” moment. 💯💯 thank God for another chance 🙌🏽

[@VanessaMendez-lj5uw]

The interview you did with Iyanla was enlightening. I’m watching the movie you spoke about right now. Just an idea I think people would love to hear some more movies that you have watched that have meaning. Oprah had her book club you can have movies. Keep doing what you do. You inspire young ladies and mature women. Thank you ❤

[@TRUSTING_HIM314]

This is a segment I needed to hear because at age 64, I realized that I am only to support not to help. I feel better with the decision I made.. ❤

[@RAET302]

At this moment i feel like i could cry becus ppl that are spiritual will get/received random messages that can come to them in the most spontaneous way....first off i was not aware keke, you were doing this type podcast so for it to randomly pop up in my timeline was "to me" divine ❤️ currently I've been going through some type ...i wanna say awakening but more so emotional disconnect. I love ME and i love my family...meaning my children and literally family but I've been feeling so overwhelmed and stressed out that the level of frustration is causing household problems. This video hit different because it touched on specific issues im currently having. I feel sooo misunderstood and i thank you for this episode 🙏🏽 earlier today i was literally looking into couples therapy/counseling sessions because i know i need it. 🧘🏾‍♀️🤳🏾🙌🏾✨️🌌

Sis Vanzant in this season of your life thank you for using a gentler approach with these young people so in need of healing both Keke and Nick. Maybe you can heal in them what alluded your own beloved daughter. We know that Nick and Keke both child actors are extremely intelligent people who think these podcast around therapy is about " helping others" but we know that the babies are the ones who are in deep need. Heal the babies Sis and know your own Daughter smiles and says all is well. Keke and Nick are " Crazy as Hell" and think they are schooling us! The game they running but you know Sis you have seen this before. Thank you for loving us Sis Vanzant and giving to us as you navigate your grief journey. We praying for our little Sis Keke people are not doomed, no your child's father us growing and so are you ! We pray you both become grown and healed enough to love and nurture your son into Manhood. Everything truly happens for a reason! We love you Keke
