The series tackled some of the more controversial topics on TV at the time, including abandonment and abuse, taking a deep look at the lives of both celebrities and everyday people as they sought peace from trauma and torment.
She continued: “Most of us don’t breathe. We can walk around like that for months, really not breathing, not being present in the body. So, the moment something happens, whatever it is, breathe. Breathing will get you in your body and out of your head.” Finally, she added, “You’ve got to get into your heart, and then to whomever or whatever, you have to ask for help. We’ve got to ask for help sooner, and I don’t care who you ask it from: divine, internal, grandma, somebody. Ask for help.”
On being named one of Forbes’ 50 over 50, Iyanla said she never “hoped” even making it to 50 herself. “I was coming from total poverty, total dysfunction, no support, in survival mode. Fifty was too far ahead … It was moment, by moment, by moment, so I never thought to look ahead to 50, surely not 60 and definitely not almost 70,” she said. “My father died at 59, and my mother at 33, my brother at 49, my sister at 52, so I didn’t have a model for what it looked like beyond 50.
