If welcoming love into your life is on your list for 2026, let’s get clear on WHY we want it, what we want FROM it, and what we can bring TO it.

Every one, regardless of gender (yes I’m rolling my eyes), should “bring something to the table” and that begins with clarity.

Check out this week’s episode, New Year Love Plan where you get your podcasts and don’t forget to leave us a 5 star review! 🫶🏾

A wallet isn’t a personality. Pick the man who’s wealthy in mind, spirit, relationships, and heart. I promise, the money spends better and the returns last longer. 💸

It’s a simple question: do you want the relationship title, or do you want the partnership that actually lives up to it?

Because the title looks good on paper, but the partnership shows up in real life. Anybody can claim you. Not everyone can carry you through the work, the growth, and the love it takes to make “us” mean something.

I’m not judging your problems.
I’m watching how you solve them.

Because love doesn’t erase your wounds — it reveals them.
And the deeper we go, the more we’ll uncover.
I need to know you can grow while you heal.

Big Mama has been telling us this for years so let me hold your hand when I say this….

❓Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

❓Why rush to the altar when you’re already getting the honeymoon?

❓Why pay for the dinner when you’re already full from the samples?

❓Why chase the prize when it’s already in your hand?

You follow?! Ok? OK!

Big mama was right then and she’s right now. Adjust your crown, and stop playing wife to someone that hasn’t even made you a girlfriend. Love you, hear?!

Just because it feels like a relationship doesn’t mean it is one.

If they’ve justified doing all the relationship things without committing,
you need to understand how they see the world — not just how they treat you.

Ask deeper questions. Don’t assume shared intentions.

FIRST…My God… my wife is Gorgeous 😍

To wrap up her birthday festivities, Bre turned our place into her very own Japanese-inspired lounge — Black Lotus Lounge 33. 🌸🍣✨

She never stops amazing me with how creative she is! From the vision in her head to the details in the decor, she brought it all to life like she always does! Every single thing was thought out — the vibe, the aesthetic, the food, everything.

And yes… I threw on the chef outfit one more time 🍳😂 to serve her and basically all my sisters at this point — her friends. The whole night turned out incredible. The ladies looked beautiful, the setup was beautiful, and the energy was perfect.

Thank you all for making this a special day for her:

I love moments like this. She does so much for me and everyone around her, so any chance I get to give back in small ways like this means the world to me!❤️ by @relationshiprestored

Happy Birthday my love ❤️

Bre, you mean everything to me. You’re the most selfless, loving, and beautiful soul I know. The way you love people, the way you show up for others, the way you love me — it’s rare. You’ve changed my life in ways I can’t even explain, and I thank God every day that I get to do life with you. I’m so proud of the woman you are and the woman you’re becoming. I love you more than words can say. 💕

Now for everybody else reading this… I wanted to do something special for her this year. Bre gives so much of her time and energy to others, so I wanted to give her a mix of all the things she loves — but this time, done by me. Not something I paid for… something I did.

She loves:
✨ Quick getaways and road trips
🛁 Hot tubs
🍝 Chicken pasta with green peppers
💆🏽‍♀️ A good massage

So I brought all of that together in one surprise experience — just us.

Because sometimes the best gifts aren’t about how much money you spend…
They’re about how much time and intention you put into them.

P.S. she made me take my shirt off to cook 😂

Happy 33rd birthday, my queen 👑❤️ by @relationshiprestored

It’s not about how much you make.
It’s about how well you manage what you have.

If you can’t delay gratification, we’re never gonna build real wealth — or real trust.

The fear of moving forward without knowing what you left behind can be quite tricky to navigate when you find yourself being ghosted. However, if that person is of no real significance, it’s best to just LET IT GO.

It’s really ok to not have the answers from someone you barely even know.

You don’t need to over-explain your “no.”
You don’t need to debate your decision.
You don’t need to stay.

Sometimes, walking away is the only explanation you need.
