Do they still have Iyanla on as a life coach on Starting Over? My mom is a total O Magazine junky and she loves Iyanla.

Ginger. I will actually take some recommendations for Atlanta restaurants
Where are you staying?

They do indeed. I like her. I like all the coaches/therapists actually.

Not Ginger, but my favorite Atlanta restaurant is Bluepoint(?) in Buckhead, but it's sushi and sort of pricey, so it may not be to everyone's liking.

I wasn't fond of Iyanla when I saw her a couple of times on Oprah several years ago. But I caught her a few times on Starting Over, and I liked her much better. But I don't know whether it was a current season.
ETA: And also, I don't know how to spell her name much.

Ginger, I think we are staying at the airport Holiday Inn. The horror!

This is the only place I've seen her. With clients (which is how I think of the Starting Over women), she's really good. Calm and still, yet unwilling to backdown.
It's a nice combo.

What is even happening?
I don't know how to spell her name much.My head wants to switch her Y with her L.

I think that's the key. From what I remember of her Oprah appearences, it was just sort of undirected cheerleading that seemed not particularly useful. Too generic. But one on one, I enjoy her. Hell, I'd hire her.

Iyanla also used to write a column in Essence Magazine (or maybe it was Ebony?). I quite enjoy her. She seems, as Kat says, to be a good mixture of tough yet caring. I don't like the hard ass, Dr. Phil type life coaches (I don't know if they have that type on Starting Over). I think you can help people without being a prick and full of yourself. (Apologies to any Dr. Phil fans. That's just my own personal opinion. Can't stand the man.)
