Waking Up Isn’t Enough–Stay Awake! with Iyanla Vanzant
Manage episode 505502633 series 3469597
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. As the Founder of Inner Visions World Wide, Iyanla is actively engaged in personal development courses and on-going training programs for spiritual life coaches and ordained ministers.
During Michael and Iyanla’s powerful conversation they cover:
-Iyanla’s self-directed program, “Awakening One Million,” including four stages of spiritual development: Awake, Awakening, Awoke, and Awakened
-Repetitive daily practice—whether breathwork, prayer, or reflection—as the path to spiritual mastery
-The deeply personal loss of Iyanla’s daughters—Gemmia in 2003 and Nisa in 2023—and how the trauma and her spiritual practice from Gemmia’s transition prepared Iyanla to face her grief over Nisa’s transition with grace
-The importance of aligning heart and mind and staying in our own spiritual lane rather than being consumed by others’ journeys
-Digital misinformation and how consuming false narratives affects our frequency and creates energetic baggage
-How grace literally saved Iyanla’s life after her suicide attempt and creating sacred internal space, an altar for surrender and a sanctuary for listening deeply to divine instruction
-The relevant lyrics from “Wake Up Everybody,” legacy, and why change begins within
Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation on transcending the mind.
