Turtle Necks, Overworking  your body, Frank Ocean
In the debut episode of In Our Blood, hosts Judah and Koko kick things off with a "Hot Take of the Day"—are turtles in or out? They share a candid look into their journey of moving into a house shared entirely by young adults living with Sickle Cell Disease. Together, they explore the importance of having a good doctor while reminding us that doctors are human, too.

The conversation delves into the raw realities of living with Sickle Cell: managing pain, the frustration it brings, and the barriers it creates. Judah and Koko discuss overworking their bodies, surviving hospital stays, and the determination to keep up with goals and friendships. They reflect on how pain can motivate while sharing tips for navigating life with Sickle Cell. Plus, don’t miss the spotlight on this week’s featured artist!
