🩸 Day 3 – If You Ain’t Ready, Don’t Rush It

 Yo. Real talk…

If you’re gonna start this detox—make sure you ready. Mentally, physically, spiritually. Because once you’re in it, you in it. It ain’t no magic button. It’s work. But it’s good work.



This morning, I was struggling.

Those teas? Nasty. I’m not even gonna lie to you.

I had to throw some cherries on the side just to stay sane 😅


But I still drank it. Because that’s what this is about: discipline, not just detox.





📚 The Book Is Your Map



I got a little turned around with the detox journal at first—lost a few pages, felt like I missed something. But once I actually sat with it and followed the steps, it all started clicking.


So if you’re doing this too: read that book. The info is there. Like really, read it.

You’ll see things in it you might’ve overlooked the first time.


The moment you get locked in, it flows better. For real.





🍲 Soup Talk



Now let’s talk about that hot detox soup.

At first? I was like nah, I’m good. But then I saw the visuals—and let me tell you, that thing looked like life.

So I’m making a promise to myself: I’m eating that soup today.

Because my body needs warmth, minerals, healing.

And I deserve that.





🙏🏾 Shoutouts



Shoutout to Chris for guiding me through it.

Shoutout to all the other warriors out there on this journey too.

We got this.


Some days feel rough. Some days feel raw. But every day you show up is a win.

Just take it one move at a time.

Starting Over: A New Chapter for My Health, My Purpose, and My People

  Starting Over: A New Chapter for My Health, My Purpose, and My People Hey family, I’m finally home from the hospital. After such a long time dealing with pain, exhaustion, and what felt like a never-ending uphill battle, I am still pushing though. I am still in a lot of pain right now. But this time, something shifted. I realized I couldn’t just bounce back into the same patterns, the same habits, or the same lifestyle. If I want to truly live—and not just survive—I have to do something different. And I’ve decided to start now. 🌱 The Shift: Mind, Body & Purpose With the support of my family and friends, Im starting a full life detox. Not just herbs or food—but my whole mindset. It’s time for me to take control of my life and stop letting this disease decide my future. The truth is, sickle cell doesn’t give us a choice in how we were born. But we do get to choose how we show up in this world. We do get to choose to fight back—with care, with wisdom, with inten...

🔥 Day 12 – Tempted, But Stayed On Track

Yesterday almost got me. There were some baked beans and ribs calling my name—and not quietly either. But I reminded myself why I started this detox in the first place. I stayed focused. I stayed committed. I stayed on the teas. And I’m glad I did. Today, the inflammation in my hands is noticeably down. That small win? It’s everything. Because it’s proof this is working. Discipline over impulse. Healing over habit. I’m proud of how far I’ve come. We almost there. — Boogie
