Iyanla Vanzant Says ‘I Don’t Want That Energy In My Life Anymore’ As She Explains ‘Fix My Life’ Exit

Iyanla Vanzant has explained why the current and seventh season of her OWN series Iyanla, Fix My Life is also her last.

She said during an interview with Danielle Young: 

“I’m a teacher. That’s what I am. I’m an educator. I just happen to be a spiritual technician. I teach about spiritual technology and that’s what I’ve always done. That’s what I want to do. But I want to do it in a more intimate way. I want to do it where people come to me because they want to learn not because they don’t have a date on Saturday. And I want to do it where people aren’t scrutinizing my hair and my nails.”

She added:

“One thing that eight years of ‘Fix My Life’ has taught me is how mean and nasty and unkind people can be. I don’t want that energy in my life anymore. I don’t want people calling me names and talking about me. I’m just very sensitive to energy. I don’t deserve it and I don’t want it. So now, if you want a piece of me, you’ve got to come to me and you got to pay for it.”

She continued:

“My life isn’t broken. My life is evolving and I am being prepared for things that I’m not prepared for now. I don’t know what’s coming to me. But I do know this—which is another reason I’m leaving “Fix My Life.” I have hit the apex of everything that I know. I’ve hit that apex. So it’s time for me to go to the next level. Which is a level of learning, growing, risking and changing and evolving. And I don’t need to do that on television.”

This season, reality star Shay Johnson was one of the familiar faces who went to Iyanla Vanzant for help. Unfortunately, the ladies got into a heated exchange during her appearance.
