Spiritual coach and best-selling author Iyanla Vanzant is returning to OWN Network with a new series called Iyanla: The Inside Fix. Premiering on Saturday, January 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, the show revisits twelve of the most unforgettable episodes from the OWN original series Iyanla: Fix My Life.

Officials say the show will offer deeper reflections and renewed insights into the healing journeys that moved millions. Vanzant says she didn’t fully grasp the cultural magnitude of what she was doing back then.

But Iyanla says she didn’t fully grasp the cultural magnitude of what she was doing back then. “Doing the show back then from 2012 to 2020 or 2021, I didn’t really have a healthy awareness or respect for how groundbreaking the show was,” she tells ESSENCE. “I now understand that what I was doing back then was spiritual hygiene—teaching people how to brush their mind, how to floss their heart, how to cleanse their spirit, how to nourish their body.”

The show will revisit moments that sparked memes, and living-room debates as people watched episodes that showed a rollercoaster of emotions.
