The show premiered in 2012, spotlighting celebrities and challenging moments involving personal growth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While details are scarce on what the two new specials will be about, production is set to begin in March.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cThe response to \u2018The Inside Fix\u2019 has been nothing short of a blessing,\u201d said Vanzant. \u201cThe series is a ministry of healing. Each story, each tear, each moment of truth is a sacred encounter with the human soul. When one soul speaks its truth, the frequency of truth expands through the collective. When one heart is cleansed, the vibration of wholeness ripples outward. Those who watch are not bystanders; they are participants in the collective healing process for themselves, their families, their communities and the world. It is not about fixing your life. It is about freeing your soul. No more surface solutions. This is where truth becomes transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In \u201cThe Inside Fix,\u201d Vanzant offers deeper conversations and reflection on 12 of the most memorable episodes from the original series. Since its premiere earlier this year, \u201cThe Inside Fix\u201d has been No. 1 on OWN for African-American women, which touts itself as the No. 1 cable network for African-American women on Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Recently, Vanzant offered a bit of personal reflection. After the 2023 death of her youngest daughter, Nisa, Vanzant revealed why she didn\u2019t attend her funeral, some 20 years after the death of her oldest daughter, Gemmia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cOnce I made the decision, because I made it from a place of love and care, I was okay with it,\u201d the 72-year-old told \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jd2FKbfxIpE\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Breakfast Club;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Breakfast Club<\/a>\u201d in January. \u201cI had my own thing with her. She was still gonna be dead the next day. I didn\u2019t have to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Vanzant revealed to Tamron Hall that she had been prepared for the death of her youngest child, compared to the pain of losing her oldest to colon cancer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWhen I lost Nisa, I knew how to do it because I had already buried Gemmia,\u201d she told <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hpoAOoPsH7I\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Tamron Hall;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Tamron Hall<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She added, \u201cSee, when I buried Gemmia, I didn\u2019t know how to do it. I didn\u2019t know how to be a woman burying a child. So when I lost Nisa \u2014 it\u2019s been 115 days \u2014 when I lost Nisa, I knew how to do it. That\u2019s grace. I knew how much to do. I knew who to call. I knew not to try to do everything by myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More must-reads:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new series, which is a look back at 12 of the most memorable episodes from \u201cIyanla: Fix My Life,\u201d premiered at No. 1 on OWN among African-American women.
