Iyanla Vanzant’s Lessons on Mindful Alignment












Tending Mind and Spirit While on GLP-1: Iyanla Vanzant’s Guidance

One thing I realized on this journey is that the mind and spirit needed tending too. That’s where Iyanla Vanzant became a guiding light. Her teachings on honesty, reflection, and daily practice showed me that true change isn’t rushed — it’s built from consistent, mindful action.

Vanzant emphasizes that healing starts with truth — naming what’s real in your life without avoiding it. For me, that meant acknowledging my long-held people-pleasing habits, inherited anxiety, and the ways past experiences shaped my choices around food, self-care, and body image. Shadow work gave me language, but Vanzant gave me practical tools to act.

Daily rituals — journaling, gratitude moments, morning reflections — became my anchors. Before each GLP-1 shot, I pause to set intention, honoring both my progress and the areas where I still need compassion. These small acts ripple outward, shaping how I respond to cravings, manage stress, and honor my body.

Vanzant also teaches that forgiveness is a superpower. Not for others, but for myself — forgiving past choices, releasing regret, and claiming the authority to direct my life. With GLP-1 supporting my body’s signals, these mental and spiritual practices allowed me to finally feel aligned, grounded, and capable of sustainable transformation.

Through integrating Iyanla Vanzant’s guidance, I learned that healing is a daily practice. Each reflection, pause, and intentional action compounds, supporting not just physical change, but a resilient, empowered mind and spirit.

With daily rituals anchoring my mind and emotions, I began exploring how energy and higher consciousness shape healing. Iyanla’s teachings close this Think Tank circle with heart and wholeness — a reminder that every lesson, from Jung to Vanzant, leads us back to our own divine alignment.

Reflecting on the Full Think Tank Journey

As this journey draws to a close, I find myself circling back to where it all began — awareness, compassion, and courage.

From Dr. Carl Jung’s shadow to Dr. Sigmund Freud’s subconscious, from Frantz Fanon’s reclamation of power to Dr. Frances Cress Welsing’s truth-telling, from Patrice Malidoma Somé’s ancestral grounding to Dr. Michael Beckwith’s spiritual flow, and finally, to Iyanla Vanzant’s living embodiment of healing — each teacher offered a map home to myself.

Facing the Shadows and Reclaiming the Whole Self

                                               Facing the Shadows and Reclaiming the Whole Self with the help of GLP-1 After exploring Freud’s world of the unconscious , I was left asking — what do I do with everything I’d uncovered? Enter Dr. Carl Jung , the thinker who gave language to the deeper work — the part where we don’t just recognize the unconscious, we befriend it. Jung taught that the “shadow” holds the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled — our anger, shame, grief, but also our creativity, intuition, and power. It’s not just darkness; it’s potential waiting to be integrated. That truth shifted everything for me. When I began my GLP-1 journey , I thought I was simply addressing physical health. But as my body found balance, I realized how much emotional weight I’d been carrying. The mirror became a truth-teller. Each pound released carried memories, emotions...

Unconscious and Rewriting Old Narratives: The Battle to Lose & Gain on GLP-1

  Uncovering the Unconscious and Rewriting Old Narratives: The Battle to Lose & Gain on GLP-1 When I finished reflecting on Frantz Fanon ’s work, I realized that reclaiming my power meant I also had to understand what was powering me. That’s when Dr. Sigmund Freud ’s insights on the unconscious stepped forward — not as a clinical framework, but as a mirror. Freud taught that much of what drives us lies beneath awareness: buried emotions, unprocessed experiences, and the internalized scripts we carry from childhood. At first, I resisted this idea. I wanted to believe I was fully in control. But my body knew otherwise. My anxiety, cravings, and exhaustion weren’t random; they were messages — the language of my subconscious asking to be heard. Through my GLP-1 journey, I began to feel this in real time. As my body recalibrated, it made space for deeper awareness. When the appetite quieted, the inner dialogue grew louder — and I started hearing the why behind my patterns...
