For the most part, when it comes to trying to reach people in an effort to help them make the appropriate changes to their lives, Iyanla Vanzant refers to her subjects as “beloved.” But when she’s just about sick and tired of them, she calls them as she sees them. For Evelyn Lozada, it was a “thug among women.” In the newest season of Iyanla: Fix My Life, for Neffeteria “Neffie” Pugh, it’s a “nasty, vile, guttersnake right up out the hood.”
While she spent much of last season helping men and women through group counseling, the spiritual life coach is getting back to what we’re used to, but still using the “House of Healing,” working with an interesting batch of individuals yet again. Those people include Taryll Jackson, the former leader of the R&B group 3T and nephew of the late Michael Jackson. She also helps those whose relationships are on the brink, as well as people looking to find peace, including former reality star Laura Govan. Vanzant is also set to bring together a few Pulse nightclub shooting survivors in the hopes of helping them heal.
But what stands out most in the new season is Vanzant going toe-to-toe with Keyshia Cole’s sister, Neffe. If you’ll recall, Neffe had her own reality show on BET, Frankie and Neffe (and tried to have her very own series, Neffe’s World). Vanzant travels to Atlanta in the two-part season premiere to help Neffe and husband Shelby “Soullow” Lowery. The couple are financially struggling, living in a hotel, and quite close to divorce. Lowery is trying to recover from a heart attack and Neffe is still Neffe: combative, but sadly, also dealing with alcohol issues. While they all bump heads, Vanzant is working to help the family move forward. Will they be able to? You will have to wait and find out when the new season of Iyanla: Fix My Life debuts on April 15 at 9 p.m. ET.
