Self-Diagnosis is Misdiagnosis
Two callers believe they know what’s wrong in their relationships, but Iyanla thinks otherwise. One woman feels betrayed by her husband when he chooses his mother and other women over her, even right after she gave birth to their child. The second caller’s girlfriend called her selfish and entitled, but she doesn’t think it’s true. Iyanla gets to the heart of the issues, allowing her callers to finally be honest with themselves about what’s really wrong in their relationships. Do you want to be on the podcast?

Interrupting Your Bonding Pattern
Just because there isn’t money or children involved doesn’t mean that a friendship is any easier of a relationship. In an episode devoted to friend relationships, two callers are under constant fear that they’ll suddenly lose their friends. The first caller wants to reconnect with a friend who already cut her out of their life once before, which Iyanla fears will only happen again. The next caller develops personal attachments to the clients she works with, and then feels like she loses a friend once the client moves on. Iyanla identifies a major issue for both of them: They are repeating their bonding patterns over and over. Do you want to be on the podcast?
