This week, Michael answers the Life Question: Although I “do the work” spiritually-speaking, why do I keep having the same issues? Next, he welcomes one of the premier teachers, writers, and speakers on spirituality, personal development, and loving relationships, Iyanla Vanzant. In this wide-ranging conversation, Michael and Iyanla talk about her groundbreaking work on Iyanla Fix My Life, OWN TV’s #1 show and her decision to end it; why people hold on tightly to their pain and suffering; the importance of actively participating in our own transformation through introspection, vision, and intention; the forceful rise of the Divine Feminine; the distinction between growth work and healing work; and why trust and surrender are two of the key factors in transformation; plus, what’s next for Iyanla–and much more! After, Michael guides us in a brief meditation that embraces the energy and teachings of his conversation with Iyanla.  Keep up with Iyanla, her workshops, and events at https://iyanla.com/ and catch her podcast and videos on her YouTube channel for more insight and wisdom.  For practical spiritual insight and encouragement around relationships, finances, health, life purpose, or in understanding world events, submit your Life Question of The Week, to podcast@michaelbbeckwith.com.   And remember to subscribe/follow and set an alert to receive notifications each Wednesday when new episodes are available!
