Iyanla Vanzant Speaks On Dealing With Abusive Relationships And Reflecting On Her Journey + More

[@sunnyctv7526]

I was given a book by Iyanla Vanzant when I was 8 when my dad died and it wiped my little tears away . It was a journal with affirmations reassurance . This lady saved my heart still until today I'm over 30 ❤❤❤❤

@sunnyctv7526 could you please give the book name? Thank you in advance.😊

[@DeeNichole8]

Please share the title ❤

[@LMartin-fw1py]

Was it "Don't Give It Away" her book for young women? If so, it helped me in middle school to make sense of 9-11.

[@candacebutler7011]

This is a great conversation. Thank you. I did a 8 year healing journey.

[@LBGaPeach]

This interview really made me realize how much I miss watching Ms. Vanzant's Fix My Life.

[@IbelieveinJesusAmen]

Right. Great show. You in the A ?

[@larecashon6759]

Bring Iyanla on often please! We need her!!🔥🔥🔥

[@dijaworldworld3895]

Iyanla is right just bc you haven’t been in a relationship a long time doesn’t mean you’ve done the work to BE in a relationship now

[@DaijaDorsey]

I totally agree

[@beverleyreid7572]

We need to bring back face-to-face socialization!

Right ! I have a group of five girlfriends, we’re all married and support each other ❤️

She is wiser than aunty Oprah

[@angelarobinson8349]

Iyanla is a special soul, I love to hear her speak. She is so knowledgeable and I am glad she is more visible now. Stay present in the moment is powerful. We missed you!

[@IcedCoffeeandChaplaincy]

I love “assertive is intention. Aggression is control” When women can learn not to be mean toward other women the collective power will never be understood. Women must learn another woman’s power isn’t her weakness or competition. Draw from it, and be empowered to be yourself. 💗♥️

Value in the Valley was my book.

[@ssbell2011jcsu]

Interviews with Iyanla are always bomb!

[@sherrondaglaspur6726]

I was 12 when I read her first book, " Yesterday, I Cried"....It's such an inspiration piece...it depicts her journey through abuse, choosing the wrong relationships, her journey to self -love....A must read!!!!

I just love Iyanla. She’s such a beautiful soul. A GEM!! I feel like I can tell her anything. *Chefs kiss

[@newbodytrends]

Iyanla is right that we women are going to bed too soon with the wrong men. As I got older and out of my twenties, I no longer expected men to fall in love with me after I gave them my body in bed. It could go either way and I'd be okay. If the companionship was intact and mutual respect, the relationship would survive and do well. But if I made the mistake of sleeping with the wrong man too soon, at my age, I could walk away and still feel okay about myself. NOT when I was younger and felt more vulnerable and desperate to find the right man. My heart don't get broken like it used to and I'm still in a strong relationship for 7 years now because I found a compatible 'mature' man. But I 'had to do my work' am still doing my work and will continue to do the work!

[@deadrickdoggett2614]

I love this woman. I can just sit and listen to her read a phone book. She is so calming and inspiring. Much love queens!

[@Scorpianna27]

I LOVEEEEEE seein iyanla like this !!!! It gives girl talk , please have her back this was gold 💕

[@Orishavideostt]

Iyanla has definitely changed my way of thinking and showed me the importance of doing "your work" . After watching so many episodes of "fix my life" I realised hat alot of adults are hurting and fueled on childhood hurt. We need to see more of iyanla 💗God bless her.

[@gwendolyn79]

When my grandmother passed away a long time ago I was so distraught. I used to watch Iyanla Vanzant every Sunday to help me with my trauma and help me with the exhausting week I’ve been through. Fix my life and Super Soul Sunday’s really helped me but I was still too young to see the bigger picture of my life. Iyanla is needed now to help women to heal from their unhealed trauma. Lack of self love and people pleasing are detrimental to men and women. If we don’t heal that people will take advantage and leave you for dead. Anyhoo, I need Iyanla back on tv.

[@shaheeda]

She is amazing in person. Her workshops will bring you to tears. In a good way.

[@heavenlygardens]

I've been in LOVE with Iyanla since my early 20's. 20 years later & she continues to make my day that much brighter. Blessings to her & thank you Angela for bringing her on your show.

[@sunnyctv7526]

I love auntie Iyanla !!!! How I've missed her voice and sweet smile 🥲🥲❤️❤️

She treated her last 10 minutes like it was her first 10 minutes in her interview. Great work! Great energy! Beautiful spirit! Go 🎉Iyanla ! ❤

[@legalmemories]

20:06 - Yes - it’s the lying to my face and the casual betrayal 😢. This is why I left my ex-husband. No way to rebuild the trust

Iyanla is just so free and light and flowing in this interview. It was so authentic and felt like we were seeing the joyfilled little girl in her. ✨💜

one thing i love about her she doesnt pretend to be perfect she just want to convey she tries to be better than before

[@denisehodges6257]

I kept in touch with my former in-laws when i divorced my husband over 30 yrs ago. My daughter has a wonderful relationship with her father because of my efforts. It was about knowing all of her family!

[@orangeyellow-me1pz]

Another woman that divorced her husband. More proof that marrying you things is the wrong decision for any man.

[@maiiam9835]

It's the best ever! I LOVE THE AGE DIFFERENCE AND MIND SET IN THIS INTERVIEW

[@gems8167]

I'm going to be honest, I'm a man that just came here after seeing Yee isnt with breakfast club anymore and came looking for her new show and wow this one episode already outweighs all the nonsense I have watched at the breakfast club. Keep it Up!

[@DoMeDoMyNDoI3490]

This isn't the her podcast, this is her radio show which comes on right after the breakfast club. Her podcast is called Lip service.

​@@DoMeDoMyNDoI3490alright thanks for the correct terminology.

[@knandii4247]

I will press play anytime I see Auntie Iyanla! Loved this interview, and how it flowed so organically. ❤️

[@prodij3940]

O how I miss her ,and her show. She is the reason I ever started therapy

[@Yasminescookingshow]

WoW! Powerful Ms Vanzant. I recently walked away from a magazine as the food writer in Virginia. I’m very good at what I do as a chef and culinary/ nutrition educator. While I appreciated the experience, the owner of the magazine had an issue with time management. It frustrated me and I told him that I was going to take my talent elsewhere. So now, I’m looking for a magazine that not only values my time but also pays me for my talent. Thank you ladies for this chat.

[@mjencolour]

I’m so glad another woman said it. Women can be very mean and have no qualms about it. It’s hurtful to both men and other women too 😢

[@jeanettesdaughter]

Yes. Ive never seen Black women so dismissive and malicious toward others. Its disappointing, heart breaking. I think its the reality shows, the ugly depictions of women as normal, the extreme emphasis on looks, material things, who has the most, who is doing the most: all that nonsense. . Don't let it keep you in tears. Find your pack. Run with them. You may have to walk and stand alone for a while until you do but there's still love and loyalty; there's still women who do not consider you a threat and they can be great friends. I'd say read a lot of literature by and about Black women. It helps to know some reasons why and not to take it personally. Plus look within and learn yourself. What do you need in relationships wwith your peers, and why are you not attracting the friends you need in your life? Get outside your comfort zone and remember to smile. Don't get mad or sad if they don't smile back. Not your problem. Keep your heart open but guard it from predatory people. Peace and love to you young lady.

Loveeee me some Iyanla! I went on a book tour of hers years ago and it was genuinely awakening. I just hope she heard what women were saying when she suggested for us to basically date down when it came to the Eboni and dating the bus driver situation. A lot of Black women, especially that date down, typically ends up in abusive relationships. Great interview though! ❤

[@HH-gv8mx]

Yup I I just got out of a four-year relationship with an abusive man. He knocked my front teeth out. i’ve had to come to a lot of self realization of why I chose to date down.

[@poindextersheelturn436]

Dating down is not the issue, trying to belittle him for making less is the issue, but your never look at it that way because he was the problem and you did nothing wrong in that relationship, absolutely nothing.

[@poindextersheelturn436]

I believe you are scared to date a competent man especially a black man, women typically date Pookie (cause she can control him finacially) or Brad (cause she wants to replace white women). I see yall dodging the Melvins and Poindexters cause that goofy yall play with Brad and Pookie will not fly. Thank goodness for passports. So dating down and getting your ass kicked is a personal problem.@@HH-gv8mx

[@HH-gv8mx]

I never belittled my boyfriend. I always told him how proud I was of him. I supported him in his decision to switch jobs and supported him when he decided to go back to his old job even helping actually well I wrote the letter to his boss, demanding that he paid him more, because the company was using him and he was barely making a Livable wage. I was his biggest supporter and fan. I lost friends and the respective family members for dating him. But I also lost my front tooth and he did a lot of damage to my bones and I’m stuck here with huge medical bills. I cooked him dinner every single night and packed in the lunch and waited by the door every morning and gave him a kiss. I rallied for him. There’s not much more I could’ve done@@poindextersheelturn436

[@HH-gv8mx]

Oh and I’m fine AF people would often takes, like it blew their mind that I was dating him. But I loved him. I think he had a lot of hiddBut what he did to me and the way he left speaks volumes about his character. A true coward@@poindextersheelturn436

[@Jia9s]

About to turn 25, and wow. Lost a friend of over 10 years and still haven’t recovered. And don’t really have any other friends. Grieving somebody who is still here is a different experience. I feel like I was never really given the tools to understand that life happens, so when life happens to me it feels as if it’s the end of the world. But I’m learning and Iyanla is such a helppp. Like an older auntie I don’t have. And I know there’s a future version of me that’s exactly who I want to be, I just have to get there.
