In this deeply moving episode of Checking In with Michelle Williams, Michelle sits down with spiritual teacher and New York Times bestselling author Iyanla Vanzant for an honest, soul-shifting conversation about spiritual hygiene.

Together, they explore what it means to clean internal debris, confront unhealed pain, release inherited trauma, and stop carrying what was never ours to hold. Iyanla breaks down why awareness, honesty, boundaries, grief, and personal responsibility are essential to true healing — and why love sometimes means speaking truth, even to family.

From relationships and generational patterns to faith, fear, self-worth, and forgiveness, this episode is a reminder that healing is not about perfection — it’s about courage, compassion, and daily practice.

This conversation isn’t just something you listen to — it’s something you sit with.
