*On Thursday, October 29, co-host Jeannie Mai discusses how she had to come to terms with choices her mother made years ago so she could move forward with her own life.
She explains that in order for people to evolve and grow, they need to forgive, saying “the wound was not your fault, but healing is your responsibility.”
Co-host Loni Love shares that she has started meditating. In an emotional discussion with her co-hosts, she reveals why she began and how it has changed her.
And Loretta Devine stops in to chat about her new movie, Spell, and talks about the changes she’s seen in the fight for diversity in the industry during her career.

The Wound Was Not Your Fault, But Healing Is Your Responsibility
Jeannie Mai: The wound was not your fault, but healing is your responsibility.
Adrienne Houghton: Yes!
Jeannie: Meaning – you need to go through life recognizing that people are going to hurt you – hurt people, hurt people – so we don’t go around resenting and condemning these people. We then just have to take the onus on our own part to grow, evolve and heal ourselves. So for me, I recently confronted my mom about her choice in divorcing my dad. Because I’ve gone through my life obviously understanding that I don’t want my parents to be unhappy and married together. But I did want to understand why the process of the divorce was so… it wasn’t carried out well. We weren’t communicated to about it, We didn’t talk about it as a family. But my point in talking to my mom was not necessarily for her to give me the right answers and be perfect in who she is today, but to get some type of empathy and understanding – what you said, Adrienne – who she was as the young woman she was then.
Adrienne: Yes, yes.
Jeannie: Just understanding that you might not make the right decisions, that you’re going through your own process of thinking what you have to do for the family…
Adrienne: Doing your best.
Jeannie: So just understanding that allows me to heal and then fix myself to make the right choices today in my marriage as I move forward. So I really think Keke was wise in making sure that she takes the steps to heal herself and not put the expectation on whether or not this person is going to earn your forgiveness. The forgiveness is healing you, not them.
