Do they still have Iyanla on as a life coach on Starting Over?
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.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The next 42 minutes are going to go very slowly. Feh.

You know, I've tried, but they just don't listen!
(Kidding. Sometimes they listen...)
