Iyanla Vanzant Returns to The Oprah Show
PAGE 10
Iyanla says she now feels like the conversation that took place 11 years ago was incomplete and assumptions were made about what she'd said.
Oprah: "Let's just clarify this. Were you not saying to us,'I want to do this show, and I want to do it now. In my own time because God has told me this is the time?'"
Iyanla: "I think that I was saying I want to do my own show now, with you, but I wasn't making it if you don't do it. I'm going with them."
Oprah: "Well, it certainly felt like it. It felt like an ultimatum."
Iyanla says she never intended to give Oprah an ultimatum, and she regrets their misunderstanding. However, she believes everything happened for a reason.
"I think all things are lessons God would have us learn," Iyanla says. "I needed to understand and learn how to receive. ... You were giving me something and I couldn't see it, hear it, receive it."
