Why Iyanla Vanzant Gave Jada Pinkett Smith Grace In Her Viral Podcast Episode

The one and only Iyanla Vanzant is back “Tamron Hall”! The award-winning spiritual life coach talks about her new Shondaland podcast, “The R-Spot,” and the viral episode with Jada Pinkett Smith that everyone can’t stop talking about. Plus, she reflects on the tragic loss of her daughters-her daughter Nisa passed away this summer and she also opens up about her daughter Gemmia’s fatal battle with colon cancer. #TamFam, every time Iyanla stops by, it’s a sit-down to remember and this time is no different.

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]

For the lady in the green shirt, I would also add something my Daddy taught me, and then something I learned recently that helped me get over people pleasing. Daddy said, *"Never forget that 'NO' is a complete sentence."* You do not have to explain _why_ you said NO to something. And recognize that *if a person doesn't want to be in your life because you refused to let then use you, then they should NOT **_BE_** in your life!* Also, recently, I was asked to do something as I was recovering from pneumonia. I said no (which is a complete sentence!). She asked me why not. I just stared at her and then was surprised to hear myself say, *"If I had said YES, would you want a reason?"* She said no. Then I said, *"If you don't need to me explain a YES, then don't ask me to explain my NO."*

[@smy250]

Profound. Going to remember that last part the next time someone challenges my No. And also to respect when someone says No to me. ☺️

[@CandyCoated96]

The advice she gave the woman in the green was spot on. Happy 70th Iyanla!

[@shambramulder4082]

Jada wrote about her life which happens to include parts of her marriage. She deserves grace for her bravery and story of trauma and resilience! I do believe Will told his story that included their marriage but he did not get that level of anger.

[@MakedaFBrown]

EXACTLY!!! It's because she's a woman....

[@bougiebohemian5393]

You are absolutely correct!

[@boldmover]

That's why I could not understand the hatred towards her. We love to talk about 'keeping it real'. But when someone does it, we have a significant problem. Everyone else was running their mouth about Jada and Will for years, and that was okay. The minute she started talking, people cop an attitude. The sad part is when it is black women tearing her down.

[@OneLoveRSR]

@@boldmover Exactly! It almost felt like the outrage was about her taking back her power and no longer giving them an opportunity to gossip about their relationship. The minute she started speaking her truth, it took away the power of their lies and they got mad. "You're making it hard for us to tear down your marriage now that you reveal you've been separated for seven years! HOW DARE YOU MAKE FOOLS OF US?!"

[@to4163]

I am with Iyanla, Jada’s marriage is her business.

[@goobgrouch2860]

Iyanla is aging backwards. She appears to look even better with age. Iyanla's "In the Meantime" changed my life. So much so that I've gifted that book many times. I find it interesting the people I've gifted the book to had lots of difficulty getting out of The Basement. Since then, I've enjoyed seeing Iyanla's content wherever it's available. Powerful!

[@llw53one]

Thank you for sharing this. I’m ordering the book right now.

[@angelangel4476]

Dressed up for the suffering....addicted to the struggle. Wow! Thank you Ms.Iyanla❤ God bless you!

[@GodsChild4Ever446]

Giving grace opens the doors of authenticity and it has the capacity to bate you or build you based on your own personal narrative. Iyanla is the GOAT of healing work.

[@Davonciaaa_Tv]

Purrr

[@sandrabrown9628]

And once again those that are still bashing Jada are missing the entire point of what Iyanla said.

[@ttfells2020]

[@mokahgirl5165]

The lady in the green (Arlene) was so pretty and seemed so sweet. Hope she finds the strength and COURAGE to start saying "no." Iyanla is right. You are worthy enough to put yourself first. It's a muscle 💪🏾 you have to start using.

[@maame6224]

Miss Vanzant is the best! 70 looks good on u!❤❤ Sorry for ur loss! ❤❤

[@dakotac180]

We NEED more Iyanla, she's a queen! Black women are LOVE

[@AT-zl6dk]

Jada Pinkett Smith’s interview with Jay Shetty changed my Perception & perspective of her. She also visited the church I attend. I realized Jada was just expressing her real emotions about being married having a family dealing with her personal issues. She is seeking peace & harmony. The dramatic part of her life is remnants of lingering unhealed pain.

[@michellej4289]

i love Iyanla! straight forward, honest, and transparent

[@ruffinarector541]

Iyanla!!! Props to Our Queen Mother!!!

[@hopeinajar77]

The EGO can be debilitating especially when we aren’t conscious . We RUSH to judgment with 💯 emotions often. Mind your business daily and you will age gracefully ‼️✨✨Mama Iya is the TRUTH even in real life 💕💕. I agree with how she supported Ms Jada . Will is just like the men we know in real life & Jada is just like that homegirl we know as well . I could never allow myself to be so invested & energetically overcharged more than the people affected by it the most who appear to be still showing up for one another & unconditionally stand by one another etc. People need to fall back bc they also do not intimately know the arrangement these two grown married people made . It’s not our business to under or over STAND . Mind the business that pays you . People are absolutely addicted to drama & trauma 🎭‼️Happy wonderful healing journey ms Jada 💕

[@jolanka-iu8we]

Amen 🙏

[@bougiebohemian5393]

You better talk that talk!👏🏽👏🏽

[@ADyani6]

I love when Iyanla said, I am not my sister’s keeper, I AM my sister 👏🏿💯‼️

[@mariastewart8810]

Iyanla should remember that Jada put us in the group chat in order to sell her book, so we have all right to voice our opinions on what she revealed.

[@arebejay]

What she said after that was the book was about her HEALING….not the drama… I learned something from this video because I too became caught up in the drama with Jada and other celebrities recently…the sensationalism of it all…it’s just a way to tear other people down without focusing on yourself …

[@mactrek2]

She really didn't. You made the choice to situate yourself into her healing story. I made the decision not to take in the gossip and inaccurate ckick-bait headlines, so I had no problem with her at all. One day I'll buy both their books to understand their personal journeys.

[@snirks8635]

​@@mactrek2👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

And she is holding us accountable for knowing how to respond to it by focusing on the healing.

This lady is so professional. It's admirable. Great going Iyanla, I wish most women could take a page out of your book.

[@devonstewart9376]

In other words, ppl love as i call it, "organized chaos". Ppl love to get caught up in the drama because it keeps rhem from looking at the truth and what's going on with you. Just like Iylana states, ppl want to stay stuck in that place cause it takes work to admit something wrong and try to fix things.

[@faithwilliams7978]

You may never understand it, but LEARN THE LESSON. I got what I needed. Thanks Iyanla :)

[@mevolutionarybyliz]

Yep. To put yourself first you have to believe you deserve it. That you are worth it. You are worthy of being first place and you won't die if some people don't like it.

[@kimr.2284]

She looks good for 70.👍

[@Unknown-bp9gq]

lol looks good for 70???? Wow

[@MISFET]

I think Iyanla gives great advice. People were minding their own business before Jada started the Red Table.

[@vadamcafee381]

At this point, Jada and Will should do their own work in Private. People keep saying that it is none of our business and I agree. So why keep encouraging this public display. I am signing off on them. I have nothing left.

[@marilynngraham7129]

I agree 💯 %. Now Ilyanla will publicly interview Jada under the guise that she’s not minding the actual personal business🤷🏾‍♀️. I’m so over all these people who want privacy while they crave attention.

[@tamarajudge2256]

I love you both!! Thank you!!! So grateful!

[@user-en1zc5vd6y]

For the lady that asked the question, I think in most cases a people pleaser’s idea of goodness is attached to what they do for others. And if they aren’t being of help to others then they aren’t good anymore. If they say no then they are being harsh or the person’s need won’t be met. And it’s worse if you are religious

[@GodsChild4Ever446]

I love your comment because it speaks to the issue of codependency. Codependency is a condition that makes a person believe they are well because they’re helping others. ❤️❤️

[@user-en1zc5vd6y]

@@GodsChild4Ever446very true. Goodness and giving and all that is noble but we can’t attach our sense of being to it. Otherwise we will feel less than good when we aren’t able to do for/give to others

[@user-en1zc5vd6y]

See we have to know that we came to this world enough(full, justified, complete) because that’s what God desired us to be. We are not our actions(good or bad) even though they bring certain consequences. We have to strive to go back to our factory settings which is a clear conscience that’s not been corrupted, one that looks to it’s maker for all justification, not making its own justification

[@bamarealist]

@@user-en1zc5vd6y Phenomenal!✨

[@sharondavis3535]

Dear Lady in Green: What would you tell your daughter or son. What has worked for me with people-pleasing is a litmus test: will they still 'love' me if I have a reason for saying 'no' this time or if they ask for 500 and I give them $100, will they still be grateful. Little things like that takes courage and the willingness to not be 'loved'. It seems time and money in the long run on your journey. Be blessed.

[@ashleyvaughn5213]

It's all about the lessons you learn. On point! She speaks sense

[@TheMysticOracle144]

The problem is both Will and Jada gave the public access to their private lives. Before they wrote their books they kept their marriage in the public eye. Nobody asked them to expose their personal business, Nobody asked them to tell the public how they were raising their children. Will & Jada brought the public into their lives purposely to make money and keep themselves in the spotlight. I say tell Will & Jada to mind their own business and leave the public alone. Miss me with this B.S. Will & Jada wanted this attention, they got what they asked for and all the scrutiny that goes with public opinion.

[@sandy81cp]

What did they do? How exactly did they bring the public into their relationship?

[@TheMysticOracle144]

Google it. You can see how many times they opened up their lives for public scrutiny. I love Jada. She's the bomb 💣 to me. I love Will too. But they both need to shut up talking about their business all the time. Then they went and wrote books to make money off their stories.

[@asacor9435]

In the theory of souls who have a "contracr" to come together to earth.. when the children die , is that they gave up on the mission to help the parents with their lesson...

[@trulyjeannette]

It is so sweet to give grace to situations like Jada's and so true, her marriage is none of my business. If you want healing, speak to a counselor in your private life. Jada wrote a book, placed her business in the public eye, talked about all of her business on her Red Talk show, and flaunted her relationship in public. If she stops placing her business in public spaces, people won't question her or be in her marriage.

You notice that people rarely talk about Oprah and Stedman's relationship because Oprah stopped putting it out there.

I’m sorry, Jada put her business out there for the world to see, hear and be apart of, why do everybody need to be subjected to her healing? Healing is for the individual not everyone!! I love Auntie Iyanla, I’ve been blessed to have spent a week in the rites of passage retreat years ago and it was absolutely amazing, healing, spiritual cleansing to my inner soul, however, it’s not something I would disclose to anyone, it was meant for all who was there not he rest of the world, the principles learned, I still apply to my life today. Honestly, I don’t particularly care for Jada, or her life, there’s nothing she can say that would change my perspective however, kudos to her healing process, and to all woman in the process. I don’t think people missed the healing with Jada at all, it’s just that most including myself, just did not care to hear the open book!!!
