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.




๐ŸŒฑ 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.




๐Ÿ› ️ 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.




๐Ÿซ‚ 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.




๐ŸŽง 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.

๐Ÿฉธ 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 ๐Ÿ˜… But I still drank it. Because that’s what this is about: discipline, not just detox. ๐Ÿ“š 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. ๐Ÿฒ 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 visual...

๐Ÿ”ฅ 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
