About this episode

In this empowering first episode of The R Spot Iyanla talks to Ms. E., a breast cancer survivor struggling with body image post mastectomy. Worried about how a new suitor may react to her altered body, Ms. E.’s love life has been non-existent since her life saving surgery. Iyanla gives Ms. E. her voice back and invites her to get under the story she’s telling herself about her experience. Ms. E.’s courage inspires Iyanla to share her own personal journey and how she fell in love with herself.
