During theThe Breakfast Clubinterview, cohostJess Hilariouscalled Good “a strong woman” before asking, “Was there a point [duringMajors’ trial] when you were like, ‘Yo, this a lot. This it too much.’ You know what I mean?”

“No,” Good quickly replied. “No, literally, I was talking to God and I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I’ve learned along the way that not only will things not always make sense to me, but sometimes they won’t make sense to other people — and that’s okay. As long as you are in alignment with God and you’re trusting the path that you’re on, that’s it.”

“And the more that I’ve done that, the happier I’ve been,” she continued. “I don’t know when I’ve been this happy before. I think I might have been a kid when I was this happy before.”
