Summary

This week, Michael answers the Life Question: Although I “do the work” spiritually-speaking, why do I keep having the same issues?

Next, he welcomes one of the premier teachers, writers, and speakers on spirituality, personal development, and loving relationships, Iyanla Vanzant. In this wide-ranging conversation, Michael and Iyanla talk about her groundbreaking work on Iyanla Fix My Life, OWN TV’s #1 show and her decision to end it; why people hold on tightly to their pain and suffering; the importance of actively participating in our own transformation through introspection, vision, and intention; the forceful rise of the Divine Feminine; the distinction between growth work and healing work; and why trust and surrender are two of the key factors in transformation; plus, what’s next for Iyanla–and much more!

After, Michael guides us in a brief meditation that embraces the energy and teachings of his conversation with Iyanla. 

Keep up with Iyanla, her workshops, and events at https://iyanla.com/ and catch her podcast and videos on her YouTube channel for more insight and wisdom.
