Iyanla's Fixins

“Who am I?” It may seem like a simple question, but the true answer goes much deeper than you likely expect. In this lesson, Iyanla guides you through a process that helps you look deep within to see what makes you tick, what values you hold dear, and what habits, beliefs, and behaviors may be holding you back from realizing your dreams. Explaining how the Self gets defined—and how you have the power to change that definition—she helps you address six major threats to your ability to live an authentic life. She also opens your eyes to the five things everyone needs to realize their true nature. With simple worksheets, insightful discussions, and a powerful meditation, you’ll gain an empowering understanding of what makes you you.

Relationships of all sorts—whether with a partner, parent, friend, or coworker—are essential to our happiness, but most of us don’t know how to be successful in them. We don’t always have the skills to create meaningful bonds with people who will support us in becoming our authentic selves. In this lesson, Iyanla looks closely at relationships, showing that their true purpose is to illuminate places in your own life that need help. As she notes, “Every relationship is a function of the relationship you have with yourself . . . it is an opportunity to see your own crazy.” Discussing the three P’s—power, passion, and pain—she teaches you to see the truth in your interactions and gives you straightforward techniques to change the quality of your relationships.

What is forgiveness? It is your ticket out of pain and into joy, peace, and power. And the wonderful thing is that you don’t have to know how to do it; you just have to be willing to do it . . . willing to surrender your story so you can get to truth. In this lesson, Iyanla not only goes in-depth about how forgiveness can change your life but also explains why people so often turn away from its healing power. Using real-life stories, entertaining examples, and a powerful meditation, Iyanla takes you by the hand and shows you how to let go of the hurt that keeps you stuck.

Vision is the act of seeing and feeling the reality of a future that has yet to be created. The vision you have for your life is a tool of empowerment that focuses your mind, helping you see and feel what is possible so you have the confidence to take consistent action toward that picture. In this powerful lesson, Iyanla walks you through creating your own vision and teaches you that the power of a vision lies in your belief in the realization of that future. With real-life examples—including in-the-moment critiques of her audience members’ work—Iyanla helps you understand exactly how to structure and enhance your own personal vision. She also helps you understand how to fix your vision if something’s gone awry.

In this final lesson, Iyanla takes on one of the most important pieces of moving forward in life: trust. Looking at four levels of trust—trusting yourself, trusting God, trusting others, and trusting the process-she lays out why trust is so essential, yet so difficult to master. Trust requires you to let go of expectations, to take consistent action without consistent results, and to know that no matter what shows up you’re going to be okay. While difficult, trust is crucial because it helps you see past what is wrong in the moment and take the next best step forward. Covering everything from “Why don’t we trust?” to “How do I move beyond distrust?,” Iyanla places the capstone on this masterclass of creating your dream life.
