Via Necole Bitchie:  This weekend, Oprah’s OWN network will premiere life coach Iyanla Vanzant’s new show ‘Fix My Life,’ and it will feature Iyanla assisting her guests with weeding through some of the inner issues they may have within themselves which is causing turmoil in their lives. The premiere episode, features none-other-than ‘Basketball Wives’ star Evelyn Lozada, who filmed a portion of the show before her marriage to NFL star Chad Johnson turned to shambles. Although Iyanla had been helping Evelyn become a better person and keep her marriage intact, the two filmed had to film an additional part of the show once Evelyn was involved in a head-butting incident with Chad that resulted in her filing for a divorce.

This week, to promote the show Oprah and Iyanla visited ‘Good Morning America‘ to talk about what people should expect from the highly emotional series and Oprah revealed that people may ‘love to hate’ Evelyn but they will learn to like her after watching the upcoming episode.

The people love to hate Evelyn Lozada. I have friends who watch that tape and [say], ‘I don’t like her, I don’t like her.’ They come away feeling something different at the end of watching that tape. It’s really what happens. It’s amazing.

Iyanla also dished on what to expect from the emotional session:
Our show opener is with Evelyn Lozada, the estranged wife of Chad Johnson and the point that we’re making is, so very often we see reality television and we think it’s something out there, but Evelyn is every woman. She’s made mistakes that every woman has made. She’s got a story that many women live. And so we want to bring that and the lessons she’s learning, the healing she needs, to the Iyanla Vanzant Fix My Life’ audience. Watch it with your notebook and your pen. Take notes. And don’t act like you don’t know what Evelyn’s going through.

It’s participatory television. Not only do the guests participate, but there’s an opportunity for the audience to participate…to take notes and say I did that, I’m there, I know that. That’s what makes it different. It’s a healing process, it’s a learning process, it’s a loving process.
