Summary

Taking an important lesson from her interview with Jada Pinkett Smith, Iyanla deep dives into the importance of self worth and where it comes from. Two callers join to discuss issues in their own self image – The first had a baby with a man she no longer wants to be with, but is keeping him in her life for the kids. And the second caller was waiting around for a man she knew didn’t want a serious relationship, just because she thought he was more valuable than she was.

And if you heard that interview, I pray you notice that I didn't go into the details of her story

her marriage or to slap her around the world. I focused on the elements of her

healing journey. The journey to Worthy.
