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 intention.


I’ve been inspired by other warriors I know who are out here living well, finding peace, reclaiming their bodies, and setting boundaries. It reminded me that this body—flawed or not—is the only one I’ve got. It’s the greatest gift I’ve been given. So I’m going to take care of it.




🛠️ What I’m Doing

I’ve started a full-body cleanse using the Healing Eon 14-Day Detox Kit—a resource created by people who get it.


People who know sickle cell.

People who understand what it means to carry pain and still want to thrive.


This kit, along with their support and encouragement, is giving me a clear path to reset—not just my physical health, but my whole life.




🫂 To My Fellow Warriors

If you’re reading this and you’re in pain, or you feel like life has been put on hold… please know you’re not alone.

You don’t have to accept a life of silence, loneliness, or survival-only mode.


We are here. We are alive.

And when we take care of our bodies, we send a message to the world:

I was built for more than just pain.




🎧 What’s Coming Next

When I’m strong again—and I will be—I’m bringing that FUN BOOGIE ENERGY back.

The DJ in me is still here. And my dream is to throw events, create joyful spaces, and bring warriors together not just to heal—but to laugh, vibe, and LIVE.

🔥 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

💪🏾 Days 7–10: Mental First, Physical Second

  Mental First, Physical Second You can’t do this journey halfway. This detox isn’t just about what you eat — it’s about how you think, how you push, and how you show up when nobody’s clapping. I’ve learned these past few days that mental strength is everything. You’ve gotta be locked in — because the food cravings, the emotions, the body pain… they’ll all try to pull you out of alignment. But I’m still in the game. Still here. Still walking, still showing up, still pushing. I even did my physical therapy walk today. One foot in front of the other. Some days it’s slow. But I’m moving. And I’m proud of that. 🧠 This Is Discipline This isn’t easy for me. But it’s real. You gotta be mentally prepared for change. You gotta want something different bad enough to push through the moments that make you want to quit. And if you fall, get back up. If you slow down, take a breath — then keep going. 🗣️ Final Thought I’m still in the game. That’s the win. Let’...

Days 4–6: Slipped, But Still Showing Up

Let me be real with y’all. Day 4 and 5? They weren’t my best. I kind of fell off. Somebody brought me food that wasn’t on the plan… and I definitely wasn’t in the best headspace. I didn’t really say anything at first because I didn’t want to disappoint anyone. But I’ve learned that silence doesn’t help healing. So here I am, saying it now. 🧠 Detox Isn’t Perfection This process isn’t easy. If you’ve ever tried to change the way you eat, the way you heal, or even the way you think—you already know. It’s a mental game as much as it is physical. And for anyone out there trying this detox or something like it: if you mess up, it’s not over. I’m proud of myself for even starting this challenge. I could’ve made excuses. I could’ve ignored the pain. But I said yes. I committed. Even if I tripped up, I didn’t quit. 🍵 Back on Track Today is Day 6, and I’m back on it. I made my tea this morning. I had the soup this evening. I sent the proof, because I’m learning that acc...
