After the Breakthrough: Why We Still Need Iyanla Vanzant | Why Inside the Fix Matters Now

Описание: Iyanla Vanzant’s return to television is not a reboot — it’s a reckoning.

In this powerful, intimate conversation, I sit down with Iyanla Vanzant to explore the deeper meaning behind her return with Inside the Fix — and why this moment in culture demands more than surface-level healing.

Years ago, I appeared on Iyanla: Fix My Life. At the time, I didn’t fully understand that the experience wasn’t just about me — it was about what my story unlocked for others. Revisiting this conversation years later revealed something unexpected: not just how much I had grown, but how deeply she had evolved.

Since Fix My Life ended, Iyanla has endured personal loss, lived through global upheaval, and expanded her understanding of healing as a practice, not a performance. That evolution is what gives Inside the Fix its urgency.

We discuss:
• What happens after the breakthrough
• The dangers of performative healing and misused therapy language
• The difference between boundaries and emotional abandonment
• The rise of cutting off family under the banner of “self-care”
• Why healing without accountability becomes avoidance
• The importance of spiritual hygiene — tending to the inner self consistently

“There is a difference between setting a boundary and putting up a wall,” Iyanla explains. “Boundaries aren’t judgmental.”

Inside the Fix revisits some of the most impactful moments from Fix My Life, but with a crucial shift — it asks what our culture rarely does: what comes next?

Because healing doesn’t end with awareness. It begins there.
This conversation isn’t about fixing anyone.

It’s about remembering that growth is ongoing, wisdom evolves, and healing requires participation.

Inside the Fix airs Saturdays at 8 p.m. on OWN.

After the breakthrough… then what?
