“The most powerful spiritual healer, fixer, teacher on the planet.” —Oprah Winfrey

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and beloved host of Iyanla: Fix My Life comes a transformational guide to love, healing, and personal growth.

Are you stuck in a relationship rut? Longing for love but unsure how to find it—or hold onto it? You may be living in the meantime—that confusing, painful space between heartbreak and healing, desire and fulfillment.

In this powerful and compassionate guide, Iyanla Vanzant shows how the chaos of our lives and relationships often stems from unhealed wounds, outdated beliefs, and emotional clutter. Using the metaphor of a house in need of deep cleaning, she helps you uncover and release the fears, patterns, and past hurts that block the light of love from shining in.

With spiritual wisdom, practical tools, and straight-talking honesty, In the Meantime will help you:

• Understand why love isn’t working—and what to do about it
• Break free from old emotional habits
• Rediscover your self-worth and purpose
• Prepare your heart, mind, and life for the love you deserve

Whether you’re single, struggling in a relationship, or simply seeking peace, this timeless book will guide you out of confusion and into clarity, where authentic love can finally take root.

Love this book touched my heart. Good advice 10 starts

[Shamar · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love this woman. As a black man getting over "mommy issues" she helps me understand a lot. I've always been the go-to, protector, and provider for my mom. The second I broke away to live my own life, do my own healing, I was basically kicked to the curb. I'm growing through the pain and Iyanla is my comfort. I thank her for that so much.
