Take Back Your Mind

Today, Michael welcomes back Iyanla Vanzant. Iyanla is one of the country's most celebrated writers and public speakers of our time, dedicated to facilitating the growth and evolution of human consciousness. She's the author of 19 books including six New York Times best-sellers. She won an Emmy for the NBC/Bunim Murray daytime drama "Starting Over," and was the executive producer and host of the critically acclaimed, award-winning unscripted series, "lyanla: Fix My Life," which became the No. 1 reality show on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.

Welcome to the new Take Back Your Mind Life Question of Week, now featuring *two* Life Questions plus a meditation to anchor in the lessons from Michael's answers. Our first question comes from Ashley, whose spiritual FOMO is desperately driving her quest for the next big 'aha' moment. Next, Shefali wants to know if spirituality itself can be trusted when she sees online spiritual teachers talk about oneness, yet also spread division or fear. Finally, Michael leads a special guided meditation on the feeling-tone of All Needs Met. ✍️ Love Take Back Your Mind? This podcast grows through your support.
