The Called Life Collective

What the Megan Thee Stallion/Klay Thompson situation and 5 years of marriage taught me:

1 It takes TWO people to make it work.
A good partner isn’t enough on his or her own. BOTH people have to be willing to lay down their ego, take accountability, and actually choose each other, every single day.

2. Healed people love differently.
Hurt people hurt people, and you can’t build a healthy relationship from a broken foundation. When you do the inner work, love and forgiveness flow through you in ways that change the way you treat the other person and value the relationship.

3. Vulnerability IS the foundation.
Being willing to be seen, even in your mess, and owning it when you drop the ball opens the door to real communication, and open communication leads to a healthy relationship.

4. Trust, fidelity, and respect are non-negotiable.
Know your values BEFORE you get into a relationship, so emotions and desperation don’t talk you out of your standards.

5. Your words are seeds.
Speak life over your partner and your relationship. And when you mess up (because you will), go back and water what you damaged. Words build or destroy so choose them wisely.

As I celebrate 5 years of marriage, I am grateful for my husband and the amazing things that we’ve accomplished together and the growth each of us has made to make this marriage full of JOY!

Good morning, Sis. 💙🤍💚

I need you to stop right here for a second and remind you before the noise of the day tries to tell you who you are and what you’re capable of…

THIS is the day the Lord has made. TODAY. This exact moment was made FOR you.

You waking up is an indication that this world needs you to choose joy, show up, and be authentically you!

You are enough right now because you are in Christ so be THAT GIRL!

Walk into this day like you believe that. Because I believe it for you even on the days you can’t believe it for yourself. 🙏🏾

Tell me in the comments… what is THAT GIRL doing today? 👇🏾

You think you’re living the good life… but are you really? 👀

Here are 4 ways to know your peace is actually protected:

1. You stop needing the last word.
If you need to get the last word in every discussion or argument, there is a deeper issue at play. Secure people don’t always have to have the final say because they are secure in their position.

2. You take accountability without it breaking you.
Personal growth means being able to say “I was wrong” or “I apologize for doing…” People who live the good life know that owning a mistake doesn’t diminish their worth.

3. Social media arguments are beneath you now.
Your time is valuable. Spending it fighting strangers online takes away from fulfilling your God-given purpose.

4. You stop proving yourself to people who chose not to understand you.
You don’t have to waste your mental health and energy proving something to someone who isn’t ready to receive it. After three attempts, just say “We can agree to disagree and that’s ok.” Then redirect or end the conversation.

When your time and peace become valuable to you, your behavior changes automatically. Living the good life means your mindset is transformed, and your boundaries reflect it.
Save this for the next time you feel yourself getting pulled into something that doesn’t deserve your energy. 🙌🏾
