UNLOCKED Full Episode: Iyanla Fix My Life EP109 ‘Fix My Transgender Life’ | OWN
/ own - Zábava
Iyanla is so brave and consciously aware. Her heart, unconditional love and life’s work is a calling few have accepted. Her work is missed already.
Definitely! 🤍
Sooooooo missed
She’s helped more people than she knows
Her voice has helped me through many times "when life happened".
I love this woman
She’s a healer, and a reader ❤
Iyanla: “‘Man up”
Me: YESSSSS. I love how Iyanla uses the correct pronouns and never disrespected the guest. Love it. Love to see it.
Correct
Course .
YEESSS
She’s respecting what she identifies as…but she can’t “man up” if she’s not a man… it’s not In her, dna doesn’t lie.
She was wrong.
I lost my mother when I was 15 and boyyyyy if someone was as rude to say to me tht God took her because of ME? I’d lose it. Already feel guilty enough. But Iyanla is amazing she’s who I look to now for tht motherly comfort and guidance since I have no one else. She is a blessing!
That's plain mean. And her father calling her names. As if they have God's mind so figured out SMT
I would be mad as hell if my dad called me different bad names but baby's girl. But that is hypothetical of me. My dad just passed away & he loved me forever & I forever miss him. ❤
I would definitely support the transgender person even tho they want to change physically and it is NOT my business! And they are human beings, nothing less. ❤❤❤
Right?! Because Jesus didn't tell anyone their mother's death was their fault!! Nor did He call anyone a "demon"!! Yes, He called demons out but He never referred to anyone as a "demon".
This is a heavy one.... man 😣 no one is asking you to agree.. understanding and being loving doesn’t take anything away from you.
amen
ppl l
🙌🏼
Exactly
Except ppl don’t like that
I love Iyanlas approach!!! She doesn’t waver or pull back
We should love our children as they are. We aren’t perfect parents and we didn’t raise perfect children.
Amen
Sooooo
True
@@ME-jy8jk You missed the entire point of my comment but thanks anyway
Raise them up in the way they should go and it will not depart from them.
Thats scripture with a promise
It's soo true 👍
Now I love my “holy,” people but, it’s insane to me how some of the most religious people say and do the most evil of evil things. How can you say God took someone’s dear mother away because they are gay??!! Those pastors would have gotten punched in the face bruh. No cap.
That blew me away 😞💔
Because his wife probably confided into him of her pain. I watched my aunt die of a broken heart. It may hurt to hear but it may have very well been the case.
Whoever told her she's going to hell, she should have said, "After you, ma'am". 😮
Exactly!! I'm a born again, Spirit filled believer and I have *never* read in the Bible, Jesus telling any daughter they caused their mommy's death!
That was one person dont put that on everyone
Our relationship with God comes before any other relationship!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
For sure 👍
My kids will forever be who I bore.. I can only see them as who I gave birth to..
This don’t mean I bully them into to being who I need them to be.. likewise, I don’t want to be bullied into anything as well.
What gets in your way, that causes you to only see the YOU in them and not their individuality outside of that? It must be very difficult to have relationships that never, ever grow :( sending you love and security so you feel strong enough to face whatever the universe sends your way
They are individuals, accept that. That bully card you pulled is a form of manipulation
@@Peace2Mateo call it how you wish, and I’ll call it what it IS.
My children, who happened to be born in a body that represents certain features- can call themselves whoever they like..
In the same sense, I will NOT be bullied into seeing them as anyone other then who came out of my body..
That being said, this doesn’t mean I force my views or opinions on how they may elect to live their lives.. Once they are out of my home who cares, who they choose to sleep with..
Get the fucc outta here with that sh**.. We all have the right to our feelings and personal views.. It is manipulation when one tries to silence others because of their own (either side) beliefs..
@@frannymcb_ how hypocritical.. whatever happened to being born in such a way and accepting that, but also accepting the fact that you CAN choose to live another way..
How can one argue the fact that a female is born with certain parts that distinctively identifies her, in same way so can a man..
It is hypocritical to say the notion does not exist , then with the same tongue say act of transformation does.
these notions are ancient…The only thing that has changed is the way society has chosen to verbalize or define them….
Lastly, evolution is always taking place within all aspects of my life and just because I choose to recognize it in the different matter does not negate my ability to evolve and shift within such terms..
so back to my choice, I choose to always see my children as who they have come into the world.
Iyanla needed a week with them
I am s Christian. This father ought to love his daughter unconditionally without calling her names but affirming their lifestyle against his conviction as a Christian is wrong. The Bible which we ascribe to as believers is clear that her lifestyle is contrary to God's word. The same way she wants her dad to accept and respect her lifestyle is the same way she should accept and respect her father's beliefs. Loving our children or others doesn't mean we accept what they are doing if it's doesn't align to our beliefs.
it is possible to live in peace by agreeing to disagree. Even spouses don't agree with each other all the time
Amen!!!
THIS right here
As a gay young man who unfortunately i know will never be accepted by my parents( and thats okay, i ve accepted it), i definitely relate to this episode but i am in awe of Iyanla! She is such s great human being! Thanks for your work M'am and bless your heart♥️
As the mother of a gay man. God placed him in my care to love, guide, teach and respect not judge. I’m not disobeying God or downing my beliefs by loving my child. A lot of people will never accept me for that and I’m ok with that.
Dont let anyone step on your gown king! We love this for you!
@@kadrainwashington1829 ❤
@@brilliantlybb ❤❤
I send you love my lovely, love, love, love ❤
I hope he is doing ok. I hope he has healed and has an amazing life full of love and acceptance.
My opinion no one is perfect but her saying it’s not about GOD is crazy she wouldn’t look GOD in his face and tell him that he’s one of the ones that can outsmart her on this one. All I can say is no matter what you change into whether it’s this or something else you can’t force someone to accept something they don’t believe in. I don’t believe the father hates the daughter I just think he doesn’t approve of her lifestyle. This man has been in church probably since a lil kid and you want him to change his views because you want him to that’s crazy. But I agree with him on I’m choose GOD over anything. Period.
Disgusting. If you believe that you don’t know God. Just like he doesn’t,
@@PureNapturewhich part is disgusting exactly 🧐
Continue living in the farce of life based on a book. You don't have a right to judge.
What i love.. Is that protection of a child. Is the goal. Don't ever choose another way. Wheither you have been in that situation or not.
I love her outfits & her jewelry
This was from 2012 I wonder where this guy is now and I hope he’s doing better and a lot happier with how much has changed for trans lives and the lgbtq community
I disagree about ppl changing their gender but I don't judge, it's their choice. We all are sinners and gonna have to stand before him and give an account of our own lives
I have a trans child that i love and no judgement
Blessings to you and your family 🌺
Peace and abundance of Blessings to you
Same, except she hasn't undergone any surgery, and I'm her #1 supporter, as I've told her since the very first time of her coming out to me.
Why does he need to abandoned his belief/faith? I am not saying IF I agree, but why does he have to fold on his faith when his BIBLE tells him he should not.
That’s sad
My Daughter must be named after you. The question and some life situations draw me closer to watching you because I get answers and guidance. God Bless you Mom. Your Daughter from Nairobi Kenya
Yes, she's the mom most of us need and needed.Our mother needs her as their mother to 😭 grandma too. Bless you my sister.
Kenyan fun of Iyanla here too.mambo vipi dada
Dad is forgetting in 1peter God said love everybody because love covers a multitude of sin. He need to love her and let God do the rest!
Well, he did say it was between GOD and his daughter....so, it could have stopped there you can't just push life-styles on people. He loves his daughter and what should matter is that she accepts herself.
@@shellrobsherm2232 that’s not pushing he is his father. I’m directing my comment to the fact that he still call him her and call him while saying she’s the reason her mother died! So I say again love everyone because it covers a multitude of sin and let God do the rest!
God said love the person and not the sin.
But the young man isn't sinning
@@shellrobsherm2232That's right "she"
This is breaking my heart. I am a Jesus follower and having a hard time understanding how her father could call his baby a demon.
His father.
Anger & fear of change.
It’s not call her a demon he calling the demon in her a demon
@@keisha1781 Oh, I may have misunderstood him.
@@keisha1781him*
Iyanla is amazing, her voice, her hugs, her compassionate eye contact are so genuine and comforting ❤ She does have a team that assists her in dealing with her cases for time sake, but it's still sound.
I respect this man so much, for standing in his belief in front of Iyanla… I doesn’t hate his daughter, but she is asking him to believe something he knows is not biologically true… I don’t think he should have kicked her out the house, and as Christian’s some people don’t know how to properly navigate these issues. There’s a way to disagree in love.
Yes. I declare victory over his faith. I am disappointed in iyanla. When I saw her light that save roll on another show I knew then.
@@ME-jy8jk your experience is not the way, truth nor the light. God is final and His way is also.
@@franhoward1581 🙏🙏🙏
The only thing I don't agree with is him saying her choice in life killed the mom.. that's dead wrong
@@dominiquejenkins5495 I agree -I also think that if there is a demon in the family, its dad. I mean, the bible states clearly that we should not judge. He has to get over it. get on his knees and pray for forgiveness. he reads the word-he is not the word. the Lord is the way and the light. Dad is evil
You guys...its obvious that physically/gender that he is not a man. Its not about what we see ....its about what he identify as. And Iyana is respecting that whether we agree or not. Thats all. ❤️
He lol
Gender is a social construct and no real. Period
@@andreasmith8509 Why is that funny
@@dbgreene9020 It's not even funny to them-but that's the only way they can express their fearful ignorance.
She definitely respects that she identifies as a “man” but she’s not a man. Dna doesn’t lie. 🤷🏾♀️
And to the Dad..righteousness IS loving your child regardless of her lifestyle.
Loving your children IS righteousness
There is a reason Jeremyah didn’t update, he still doesn’t want to bring "shame" to his dad. I know exactly where his Dad is coming from. I grew up in that type of church, they are not easy. Jeremyah’s dad lied in that update the same way he lied in the church and in front Iyanla and Jeremyah.
That is not a he// she.
What a lesson in this episode!! Truth and acceptance💕 and then Christians as always take things out of context and misunderstand some things Iyanla said. God is love and loves all of us, wholly and fully.
He just hasn't started the hormones yet
Not all Christians feel this way❤️ We as people are all different, I love God with all my heart and strive to live according to the word of God. I love all people because that's what God teach us to do. Those people who judge are in their own category. please don't categorized all Christians. Bless you❤️
I wish Iyanla would have gone deeper into the father's past to find out if the father was disappointed that his wife did not bare a son. Perhaps the child's need for acceptance from her father convinced her to be what her father always wanted in an unconscious way; to be the boy he wanted to take over the church one day. I'm saying this because my friend has a son who now wants to become transgender, but while a toddler, his mother kept telling him "YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BORN A GIRL", because she had a baby girl that died of crib death and wanted a replacement badly. Are parents unknowingly causing children to reject their biological gender based on their own words, for words do HAVE POWER, especially when spoken out loud? Can anyone add to this???
Interesting take. I'm in agreement that life and death are in the power of the tongue.
That would've been great but with only 2 days, it's hard sometimes to get to the cause of the wound. You just have to do your best to bandage it up.
“Giving it all away, to have yourself…” WHEW. 🙌🏽♥️
Stop it lady he don’t have to accept her lifestyle
That wasn’t iyanla’s goal. She wanted Jeremiah to accept that his family might not accept him, she literally said it throughout the entire video.
As absolutely stubborn as her father is...I can't find it in my heart to hate him. I see a man thats struggling to let his daughter go. That's the epicenter of all of this. He doesn't want to let his daughter go. It honestly makes me sad more than mad. But he needs to step outside of his dormant mentality and realize that there's more to his child's experience than her showing up in HIS life as his daughter. She has her own existence to live and he needs to respect and understand that
The wisdom God has graciously bestowed on this Sage and beautiful elder of our time, is phenomenal. I thank God that I am on this Earth the same time she is. She is a blessing to this Age.
As a black transgender woman I wholeheartedly understand where Jeremiah is coming from. I'm grateful that God has blessed me with a somewhat accepting family but sometimes they can be hypocritical and say very vile and rude things about me transitioning into my womanhood it's not easy and I know this film is from 2012 but Jeremiah wherever you are in the world.. I hope you're okay and I hope that life is easy for you now. ❤️
Stay Strong u are worth it
Sending you loving vibrations. 💞
I hope , you are ok Jamie . Sending you so much love ❤️
You cannot force your father to go against his beliefs. He should love you anyway though.
I cannot believe anyone thinks that someone would do this by choice. This is hell. He’s in so much pain and is going into a world that hates him. Why would he do that if it was a choice?!
Mediocrity, ignorance, righteousness, arrogance, I mean so much
@@itzelmayoral729 I think you’re talking about YOU
@@itzelmayoral729tf are u talking ab 😂
What do you mean? She decided to be a dude. She made the choice
@@kiaramarshall08 …you don’t decide to be trans. You’re just trans. Thats like saying people decide to be gay or decide to be left handed. You just ARE.
The father’s statement “I’m learning to accept people and who they CLAIM TO BE…”, tells me exactly why Jeremiah chose not to provide an update! 🤦🏾♀️
The trans/homophobic ppl clicked on the video just to leave these kinda comments- isn't that something? Just like Iyanla, you can believe in god and serve him *and* accept who someone is as a person. It's not about gender /orientation. As long as they can still serve god then it doesn't matter *who* is serving. You won't be wrong to accept them as they are. [Even then, serving god is a choice they have to make and if they don't, that's also not in your control.]
You cannot force someone to accept every and anything about you.
No but love of a parent shouldn't be conditional if it's biblical
@@newstartallthewaybut she’s not his child any longer. She’s a whole new person that she wants ppl to accept .
This was a good one .. love and acceptance won again ❤
She is INCREDIBLE 💯❤️❤️🔥
It is about the Bible when you are a man of God. He’d have to agree with her. Truth is truth. She is also his daughter and he should love her unconditionally.
I love Iyanla she needs to stay on the show
What do you mean by stay on the show? Its her show lol. There is no show without her.
I am very receptive to this video.
I am a Christian.
I am a person who loves all people.
I am a person of truth.
My thing is...you can't convince me that God hates people because of their lifestyles.
You can't tell me that God created an individual without knowing the battles they will face in life.
You can't tell me...based on my own personal struggles that God doesn't love me.
As I watch this video, I know that God loves "Jeremiah".
I know that this is not a natural order if things.
But she/he is still a human being.
I love the person.
That is all God requires me to do.
Love them.
That's what He has done and is doing for me.
He just loves me everyday.
That's all I can do for someone else.
Love. Tell the truth. Keep it moving.
One thing I did want to add was.....This young woman still looks like a woman.
I know she is studding...but to me she comes across as a woman.
She's beautiful.
Tell
Total respect dad!!! I appreciate him!!!! He only know what he knows with God!!!love her dad!!!!
Love her dad God's word will remain and he dosent make mistakes "we the Christian's will be out numbered in the last day's but are we afraid to choose righteousness and Love THE sinner but not the SINS
Agreed.....dad is just holding on to what he know.
Some people believe in God with their heart & soul. And that one day they will be reunited with loved ones. Dad believes if he agrees with her he's sending his daughter to hell to suffer & he will never see her again. Long as he loves her they can agree to hold unto their own beliefs without pressuring each other.
I think everyone is entitled to an opinion but nobody should dictate to anyone who they are or how they identify. Seriously, if you are truly a spiritual person, you are not hateful. Religious people can be some of the most hateful people in the world. They cover the worst sins and behave in shameless ways. However, they use religion to cover their sins and use the bible to make themselves feel better about themselves and superior to others. Whatever you think of this person is not important. Ultimately what they think of their life is more important. If you are so invested on how others live their private lives, ask yourself why. Leave people alone. I will never understand why some people are so intolerant. I blame religion and I understand why so many people are turning away from it. Too much hate and judging makes you ill. A lot of religious doctrine inflames this and they use a life like the one on this screen to pick at because really they are a complete mess of a person projecting their insecurities and fear.
But the father has the right to not accept it, that doesn't make him hateful, clearly he loves his child, but you can't ask somebody to compromise their beliefs to make YOU feel better about yourself. That's an extremely selfish and self-centered thing to ask of a person.
@@GraduateJLN of course he has every right to not accept something that has no physical or emotional bearing on his identity. “Beliefs”, these ideas ties to a book, a group of stories people tell to each other can never truly explain the complexity of human life. To base your life on doctrine is to be rigid in understanding as you can only see the world through those lengths, but that is not reality. Science trumps religious beliefs because it’s what we have in our toolbox as a humanity to understand each other with less judgment and more love and support. He is ‘old school’ but life evolves, we evolve and religious people like him like to believe it doesn’t but nothing stops evolution. Religious people come in with their hardline laws and rules and they never get what they want. To put your beliefs above the love of your own daughter is so sad. What has the daughter ever done that is such a crime?
@@GraduateJLN also what is he truly compromising? A belief is a bunch of thoughts in his brain. It has no bearing on his physical life.
@@whoopdedoo5271 Again that’s your OPINION this man is literally a preacher and you’re mad at him for following the bible and not being a hypocrite? Do you hear how insane that logic is? His daughter made the choice to identify as a man and he made the choice to no accept it, what is so hard to understand about that? He likely believes that his daughter is going to perish in the lake of fire for her choices and doesn’t want that to happen, whether you agree with that belief of not is up to you, but it’s HIS belief. It really seems like a lot of lgbt/trans peoples want to live in a world where nobody has the freedom of choice but them, that’s why they think it’s okay to get people fired from their job for not agreeing with them, protesting businesses for not selling to them, and lying to straight people about their true identity to get them to sleep with them. People have the choice to like/not like anything and they shouldn’t be harassed or forced into changing their mind, that sounds like a lack of consent and respect for others to me, it’s getting old and if you keep pushing people they’re going to push back.
@@whoopdedoo5271 So what, It’s HIS choice, it’s HIS life, he’s not physically hurting anyone and he can’t make a choice to not accept anything he wants. Also it is compromising to him because you’re asking him to accept something that he’s clearly staunchly against, that’s wrong.
So disappointed in Iyanla. I thought you were in truth. You cannot change what God has created and call it something else.
If you are a Christian then stand in truth and not popularity
She just wants her father to accept her choice. I commend him for standing up for Christ. He loves her and it’s not enough for her. God is love and His Grace is sufficient but He is yet returning for a church without a spot or wrinkle.
No you're just crazy. Don't assume what you don't know. Calling your child a DEMON, Cursing them, and Blaming them for their MOTHER's DEATH IS NOT LOVE‼️ Christ is the only man who was worthy of judging or condeming anybody.
Blaming his own daughter for his wifes death? He couldn't curse god so he went and cursed the child god blessed him with? And thats justifiable to you?
Its so ironic when I first saw your picture I saw a Demonic looking woman. Even before i read your comment. I wonder how that makes you feel?
Cynthia hasn’t accepted himself
Amen
Ain’t no truth in confusion
The most beautiful moments i have ever seen❤️
“i don’t wanna play w you brotha”
🤦🏾♀️
I hope that the father is able to love his child as he is. And in some way accept him as he is.
I would love to see an update of Jeremyah hope he is doing well
Excellent; I hope Ms.Vanzant was able to leave a list of support groups for the family.
That put me in tears
Teach to understand without anger. I love it!
The love from her father won’t take away her conviction. It’a always between you and God.
This was beautiful.
God did not put this on the young man. God is love. He never hurts anyone. This young man is fixing what went wrong , that's all.
She is scared to lose them but look at the fact that she is unhappy, in turmoil, and in pain because of them. What is it that she's scared of losing?
Family is family is family. You pretty much lose not only your entire sense of self, but your sense of your entire aspect of what family is and your entire upbringing gets uprooted and has to be redone and you don't have the guidance of your family like when you were a kid. My Dad is all love, my Mom pushes going back to church and I needed my Dad to help me not be out here being a terrible representation of a black man in this country especially since it's getting even harder and now I have a much higher chance of getting shot in the street. He understood that whether he agreed with it or not. My Mom said hell no we're not playing into this and cut that off and now we haven't seen each other in 3 years when I never went more than 2 days in the 25 years I was alive then. I wish I had Ilyana to get me through it when I started.
Sometimes the devil you know is better than what you don't.
It's not easy to walk away from a family, even when you struggle with them.
It's like severing a tree from its roots.
Our light is much more important than our words.
I feel so bad for cynthia's father..its heartbreaking for any parent..
Exactly
Heartbreaking for a child to be their true selves? it’s heartbreaking that bigots like you have no soul
Sounds like Jeramiah doesn’t accept himself…
What's the update on this episode?
A lie by omission is still a lie
This is literally my favorite episode so far
Not dead. Under neath the ground. Beautifulily done
I hope Jeremyah is living in his truth today. Sometimes you have to let go of ppl so you can live a peaceful, fulfilling life.
I think jeremyah is going through more and she blamed her dad, dad seems much more open than jeremyah claimed he was not.
Sometimes they do change back. They have the surgery and then want to change back to the gender they are born with.
I miss Iyanla, my spiritual mother.
The way she worded this .. I have a different view now ❤️❤️❤️❤️ … all it takes is a voice - may god protect you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lord is about to be me......the strength I'm gonna need.
Love and acceptance are two different things. Because he loves his daughter he can't accept this lifestyle.
Sounds like bs. Its like saying you’re too fat so I’ll starve you to show u love. It doesn’t make sense. Either you love your child or you don’t
Amen!
Yes the point.
I really love his name, Jeremyah! So beautiful. ❤❤❤
I said the same thing, but found it interesting that she kinda put a feminine spin on the spelling ..
how do you trust that the prayer an individual whom you call a demon and deem is already doomed for hell will be heard and will be of your benefit but you won’t accept them for who they are? pentecostal/charismatic church people need to get a grip and stop living like they’re God’s right hand. the issue of acceptance is of the Lord, not ours.
I just started watching and I’m so triggered. s/o Iyanla for taking this one up and to Jeremiah for the courage to even reach out.
I totally agree with the father in regards to standing on his belief of not agreeing with the lifestyle but he should never mistreat his child. In regards to his daughter she needs to learn that everyone in this world will not accept your personal decisions and you shouldn't try to force it down peoples throats. Either they will accept you or they won't. Life will never be fair. Your feelings are real but they aren't always right. Biology doesn't lie and God doesn't make mistakes. You can have all the surgery you want to try and change your appearance but you will still see the scars that reminds you that you are still a woman.
Shutup
@@vitamine2833 tell the person that birthed you to shut up since you cannot accept the truth of the real world.
I hear you so what do you want this child to do? Live a lie for the rest of his life, marry a man, have children, not feel or live in his real identity? Or move on and let him go? Hes 22. Hes grown the raising has been done.
@@letsdothis3332 That's it in a nutshell...Move on. I know by experience that it works when you live your life not being concerned with what other people think no matter how you present yourself in society

O/ my God/ she will never be a man.
Parents protect.
Oh this is so close to home
to me God made boys and girls and that is that omg
TO YOU.
Hypocrites love standing in the pulpit. God didn't write the Bible. It is interpreted by apostles. A great deal is omitted. And virtually unavailable. Does anyone wonder why?
@@tinajackson6875 Have you ever sinned? I'm guessing you have not.
I'll bet Daddy has sinned. He should speak on that
I love my daughter we cannot be around one anothef
God bless you ❤
Cynthia isn't ready to let go of Cynthia.
I don't think all the dead naming is necessary ❤
One thing is for sure, we will all know “who’s right and who’s wrong” in the end. Jeremyah has to answer to GOD and no one else. I hope he has found peace.
We will not know .. bc only God will be the judge. He created all the world children
I basically said the same thing you said. And just fyi, we will know because everything will be revealed on the Day of Judgment.
Uuuh Ms Iyanla ....you are Godsent
Why didn’t Jeremiah provide an update?
I can't imagine calling a child a demon. Children are a gift!
Yikes …Jeremiah not providing an update is a huge red flag. Sadly I feel like his father shows a different side to the cameras as opposed to who he is in real life.
I love that this particular family dynamic brought awareness to the black trans experience as well as to those that come from strict religious upbringings. As a trauma-informed life coach myself, I respect Ms. Iyanla's role and work in this show. However, in the middle of this particular episode I was a bit triggered by her approach to assisting Jeremyah in expressing "anger" that she assumed he was "lying" about and not fully expressing initially. It felt as if Ms. Iyanla was enforcing and instigating a more dramatic, performative expression of anger from Jeremyah that came across as unnatural to me. Therefore, I wasn't surprised when the executive producer brought all of this to Iyanla's attention. When she, then, confronted Jeremyah about it, she deflected ("I'm not here to play with you"), invalidated the way he expressed his anger, and dismissed the context of his explanation. A big 'no-no' in this kind of work.
For clarity, "lying" does not mean "withholding", according to what Ms. Iyanla projected to dismiss the context. "Withholding" in Jeremyah's context had a lot to do with him keeping the peace with someone [his father] who's stubborn and only accepts peace if it is aligned with his father's interpretation of it. I believe this part of the segment with Ms. Iyanla displayed some of the emotional manipulation that Jeremyah was all too familiar with with his father. Definitely can't change the way this particular moment was handled, but it is something very important to point out and to be mindful of when dealing with matters as sensitive as sexuality and religion. Would love to know a follow-up story on this family!
Iyanla has 2 days with them and doesn’t have time to coax them through getting the truth. She employs those triggering methods because it’s established in the beginning this process is a bandaid-ripping/emergency surgery healing process. Jeremyah was clearly not expressing his full truth to Iyanla or his father. Half of a truth is still a lie. Withholding something is still a lie-it’s called lying by omission.
I wish I was as powerful as Iyanla!
You are ❤
Don't wish that beloved. She's been through some very painful things I wouldn't wish on anyone. Be you, be your wise self!!💜💜

That Pentecostal church is something different. They do not play about the sexuality piece.
