1. "RE: Iyanla is an attorney?"
Iyanla is a lot of things; an attorney is one of them. I actually did a google search on her last night.

All I can say is that she has undergone quite a few transformations and lived through some very traumatic stuff. And the Yoruba Priestess thing? Wild.

I was surprised to learn that her real name is Rhonda. She chose "Iyanla" because in a particular African language it represents a mothering spirit. That is an aspect of her personality I think most of the ladies respond to.

I was under the impression from reading her book 'Yesterday I cried', that the priest chose the name for her. I could be wrong.

You're probably right, SOfan. You read the book; I read an article that referenced the book. I'm sure your info is more detailed and accurate. In the article, there was a brief mention that her naming ceremony was performed by a life-long friend and Yoruban Priestess.

Either way, she has some story doesn't she? Talk about rags to riches.

Yes I am reading her "Yesterday I cried" and i have a new found respect for Iyanla. She had a traumatic childhood, and she rose above it all. Such an amazing person. between abusive marriages, she worked her way thru collge and Law school. She found out she didnt like being a lawyer.
Please for those of us who sometimes discount Iyanla and her teachings, Please read her book.

She is also a self proclaimed priestess. chuckling.


I could care less what her life was like but was suprised to find out last season....that she had an ongoing affair with a married guy....years later she did marry him.

But she never mentioned any of this to Towanda and Kim, who both held disgust to Sommer, who had a one night stand with a married guy. Both T's and K's fathers had affairs.

I wonder why she never mentioned her long term affair? She uses her daughter's cancer death why not use her affair?

Why didn't she point out to T and K that crap happens, get over it. She should have been made to wear the scarlet along with Sommer. Yes, in season two Rhonda, in her wisdom (sic) had Sommer wear scarlett letter.


Maybe that is why, after graduaitng, Towanda had a lot to say about IV being hypocritical. She probally found out all about IV and her long term affair.

Oh and don't forget she is also a self proclaimed high priestess....shaking head


Like Rhonda said: If one clams one is something then they are.....

Both Rhonda and IV have claimed themselves to be experts with no educational backround and even with all the publicity, they are still on the D list for their perspective careers.

5. "RE: Iyanla is an attorney?"
Yes Iyanla did have an on going affair with a married man, and she does talk about it in her book.

Kimmie and Towanda were very judgemental, all they had to do was read the book. Iyanla was there as their life coach and I see no reason for her to say look guys I had an affair and so what. If they would have bothered to read her book they would have know....lol Now Kimmie is following in Iyanla's footsteps and studying to be a life coach (trying not to LOL here).

I don't think she downplayed the affair in her book, she ended the affair several times just for it to start up again. She discussed the hurt to all involved. I don't think Iyanla ever said or ever acted like it was ok for her to have an affair but not for others.

That is part of her history, she neither downplays it nor glorifies it. As it is with us all, our history is what molds us to the person we are today.

I would take to heart any advice that Iyanla gave me. And I wish I had an Iyanla in my life when I was a younger woman, perhaps I would not have made as many of the mistakes as I made then. Right now my life is on path, but it wasn't always so.

The point I was making is IV uses her daughter's death ON the show which I find sad.


T and K had as one of their goals was to get over being upset with their perspectivs Dads and the affair they each had.

Now here is a perfect scene to explain about her herself having an affair with a married guy jsut as she used her daughter's death with others.

And not everyone reads her books....those types of books are a dime a dozen and the information in them is worth about as much: a dime, if even that much.

6. "RE: Iyanla is an attorney?"
Although I have questioned some of her tactics and not understood all of her reasons for doing everything she has, I find Iyanla to be that "mothering spirit" and to have a lot of good advice and insight. Her choice in disclosing or not disclosing personal issues to her 'clients' really isn't necessary. Would you go to a psychiatrist for help and want to spend half the time listening to their own issues? Not that she is a psychiatrist but the point is she has a decorum of respect to maintain that the ladies look up to as someone who is there to assist them in getting on the right track. If they trust in her ability to accomplish this for them then they trust wherever she has been in her life that she where she is now leaves her in a position to be able to do them good. She does have info out there and if you want background on your coach before you trust their guidance it is available for research. If she is an attorney then that experience helps her to cut through the bull to get to real issues. More power to her.

I completely agree Mystique & SOfan......Iyanla, by any name is one intelligent woman. She has gone from the worst possible childhood to raising herself up to many levels. She has helped countless numbers of women just by her daily advice on TV.....more than she'll ever know. I sometimes don't agree with some of her advice, but all in all I think she is very intuitive & gets to the problems of most of the women figured out eventually. It does take time to get to the core of the problem of some of them!!!!

...Why would she need to 'pretend' to be a priestess? She is one. A Yourban (sp?) Priestess. Can't she be more than one label at once? She's an author, a lawyer, a life coach, a High Priestess and probably many, many other things.

Have you ever read her life story? Yes she did things shes not proud of.. Shes only human. i dont see her ANYTHING like Star Jones!

Becoming a priestess is something she believed in deeply. She did not like being a lawyer, therefore she is not practicing law, she feels that helping other people meant more to her than anything.

Becoming Iyanla was a spiritual cleansing of her personal life as Rhonda. it was personal decision she felt she had to make. dont knock it. shes gone thru alot.

11. "RE: Iyanla is an attorney?"
I hear the point you guys are making; but we know we haven't heard everything Iyanla said to the women in sessions. We've seen what the editors want us to see.

Regardless of their personal choices, one of the things I always liked was the professional distance that the LC's seemed to keep from the clients (a standard that seems to be slipping this season...). If Iyanla is on Oprah or some other talk show, then those explanations may be requested and they may be forthcoming. But I never thought either of them, or Dr. Stan for that matter, owed these women an explanation for their life choices after the fact.

You're right - the information is out there. If an SO candidate thought that any of the advisors on the show were unfit to assume authority roles, the time to make that decision was before they signed their contracts.

It is obvious that notstartingover is ignorant of many facts concerning Iyanla. I recommend that she read some of her books, especially "Yesterday I Cried." She would learn many great truthfull facts about the sacrifices and the roads that have brought Iyanla to her current path in life.

17. "RE: Iyanla is an attorney?"
Actually the book to recommend for someone who really wants to KNOW IV's background is called, "INTERIORS: A Black Woman's Healing in Progress". This book is her biography. It's out of print now, but if you look for it, you can find it. "Yesterday I Cried" is the politically correct and whitewashed version of "Interiors" IMO. "Yesterday I Cried" was the book she put out while she was a regular on Oprah. To my understanding IV regrets writing "Interiors"...that's too bad because while I may not agree with her spirituality, her story is very heart wrenching and I respect it.

I don't agree how Iyanla is handling Tj I think she is real harsh when she isn't her life coach. I think IV does favor Allison. In the past though she really has been awesome helping a lot of people she was great with the couples. I like Iyanla, she is a person not perfect. She is in my opinion making some mistakes this season but perhaps she is trying to rush the ladies since there obviously is funk in the house. If someone would call out Allsion perhaps the woman could move on and get beyond this oh and Christina, Iyanla needs to stop being fooled. Anyways, IV get your booty back in gear and stop the nonsence..

I like Rhonda. Iyanla is just too harsh and unrefined. I doubt she is a lawyer. Where did she get her degree? She seems so uneducated and not very intelligent.

I believe she got her degree from Medgar Evers University (you can google her to be sure).

Apparently, she worked in the Public Defender's office for several years.

Now if I saw IV in action as an attorney I would think far differently of her.

But just because she had a hard life previously (and some have far worse than her and come out to be better people also) doesn't give her the right to scream, threaten, etc some of the housmeates. She also sells books per her past life...and makes money off of that.

Both she nd Rhonda sold their integrity for the all mighty dollar....what makes them any different than Christina?


But the proof is i the pudding.....and this season both LC's have fallen to the gutter in the name of ratings.

Contract or no contract, if these two were bonefide professionals, they would walk of the set til the show got back to what it started out as:

A show about woman helping other woman.


Edited to add:

I wish IV would bring back the sayng she used last season with Jen, Towanda, and Kim......

SISTERHOOD.....................what ever happened to that word? This season would be a prime example to be using it over and over. Course last season they pushed the word integrity also but that word and its meaning has also fallen to the wayside.

Okay. Sorry. This is my second day here, so did not realize. Not sure I really understand the move, but will try to make sure they get in the correct place.

Believe me her being an attorney is more title than anything else. Although technically she is an attorney, she never practiced law and there is a HUGE difference between someone who has practiced and somehow who just uses the title.

Anyway, I said in another post that I found her tactics to be bullyish and like hazing. Although I feel like she is insightful, I think that her approach is outrageous sometimes. Honestly, no legitimate life coach would have a great clientele if they used her and Rhonda's tactics, that is just posturing for television.

Actually she DID practice law for a short time after she graduated. But she didnt like it. She didnt spend all that time in law school just for the title. Thats alot of money and alot of time studying just for the fun of it.

I think Iyanla is a person who has experienced the worst of the worst in life and the best of the best. I find it sad that she would be judged on the fact that she is an attourney.

I think both her personal experience and her professional experience are what make her a great life coach.

I think you'd have to be on the same page as her as far as faith and beliefs go but for many people, I can see where she would be a life saver.

41. "RE: Warning - Ricki"
Appreciated the post Mystique.

Iyanla only practiced law as legal aid. Which is honorable but
often for newbies who are unestablished and doesn't pay much.

What shows her charachter in that job was the statement, of a link MSN lost for me, where she said she walked into work one day and the lights were just do dim, so she just walked out and never came back. (oh isn't that miss regal for ya)
What about her clients? She had peers and needy clients to answer to, but not Iyanla, she answers to nothing but her heady, flighty moods.

Iyanla said at her NJ, try to sell SO, mall appearace that she hasn't a clue what she is doing. This is a fact quoted by an accuarate friend who was there.
And she does not. Yes she has a moment now and then, but that does not come close to erasing or neutralizing the abuse she creates, nor negligence, by virtue of her ingnorance and histrionics, by any deluded means.

And so often when she is saying something in the inspirational dept, it comes out like I am wathching PTL or something. It is so over the top preacher stuff, and this removes any true inspiration that might have been appreciated if delivered with less sterotypical drama, to most of her rehearsed and much repeated messages.
She is scattered and and seriously inconsistent in who she is and what she believes, and that is carried on to real humans vs her belief that she is a life coach.

Rhonda means flower, and Iyanla means mother. Iyanla thinks she IS fricking mother earth.
However it is beyond distrurbing to be reminded of the quote, I had somewhere last yr at another sight, where she said she said that she should not have been a mother, as she was not there for her children, they got in the way of what she really wanted to do. Appreciate the honesty but then why not sterilize herself. Makes me hurt so for chidren of parents like this. Self absorbed breeders.

Her 5 yr old died, and the quote was, "it was just as well, I had nothing to offer him." My alarms went off day one with Iyanla's histrionics, but this was so pathetic to state I felt ill reading it. Maybe she was just having her millionth mood. Doubt it. As I know last yr she was watching her daughters son. Tho he was in a different state of course.


So maybe now she believes in Karma, is deluded and histrionic and feels she better be a mom now to compensate. Well I agree Iyanla, it is best you not be a mother, as you are all over the map emotionally and supportively. Just go preach somewhere and write books as I have her they do actually inspire some persons.

I call them the double R's.

I only respect Iyanla when she is speaking as a more genuine Rhonda. You should have to dvd this junk and use pause. I can not believe the positions I have seen her in. Like yesterday during Christie's story where Rhonda's much too charachtered face was showing compassion, Iyanla was in same scenes acting like a queen waiting for some boring opera to end. Head perfectly erect and occasionally doing the regal tilt thing, with unusually perfect unmoving posture. eeek ghetto hustler indeed.

She is just making the most ludicrous if not inconsistent things up as she goes along on her personal journey, to get a whole lot of attention, which she thrives on.

She isn't mean spirited? Well, that isn't really true. She's just cracked like Rhonda is. Wait, they both have serious rage issues at the double R ranch, so some stuff is intentionally cruel rage for drama and personal relief.

Legal aid is also for people who care about helping actual people rather than large faceless corporations. Because this type of work is more fulfilling to this type of person, the money is not an issue.

Which is why it surprises me that Iyanla didn't like it.

Yeah, IV is an attorney I remember her days when she was hot on Oprah. She was on Oprah having weekly shows before Dr. Phil. I actually enjoyed her cause she told it like it is. I don't think she's like Star though, they have noting in common except maybe the fact they are attorneys. I don't even know how anyone could compare the two.
