In the Meantime — Reader discussion

Iyanla Vanzantz’s approach in In the Meantime really stood out to me because it balances tough love with compassion. The way she encourages readers to confront their pain head-on without sugarcoating the process felt both empowering and realistic. One passage that stuck with me was about embracing your brokenness as a path to wholeness—it flipped my perspective on struggle. This book seems ideal for anyone feeling stuck in life transitions or emotional turmoil. What part of the book challenged your usual way of thinking the most?

What I appreciated most about In the Meantime is how Vanzantz integrates spiritual insights with practical exercises, making the journey toward healing feel accessible rather than abstract. The emphasis on self-responsibility combined with grace creates a transformative mindset. I found myself jotting down several passages to revisit later. It’s the kind of book that meets you where you are and gently pushes you forward. For those who have read it, how did the book influence your daily habits or mindset after finishing it?
