I echo the sentiment of the other reviews. I adore this podcast but I haven’t been able to listen to and/or enjoy an episode since the format has changed to include guest. Please return to the prior with Iyanla and callers without cohost guest.
Proud of Iyanla!

I’m so happy that auntie is on Shondland and Iheart! She is a strong black woman and a fierce feminist that I appreciate a great deal. Just what we need in the world. Will we all love each other? NO! Can we talk about it ? SURE
The what good men want episode

Your guest was all over the place and most of the time he just restated the question and sent it back to me host.
