When we think of a detox, we usually think of a physical experience. But it’s not just our physical bodies that need to be cleansed of the impurities we encounter and absorb in our daily lives — it’s our minds too. When we find ourselves unable to process our negative emotions and feel them becoming toxic to ourselves and those around us, it’s time for an Emotional Detox, a mindful and systematic guide to freedom from these troublesome feelings.

I sat down with Sherianna and even whilst on vacation, she was kind enough to answer some quick questions:

In 2018 you released your book Emotional Detox: 7 Steps to Release Toxicity and Energize Joy and here in 2026 you have just released Emotional Detox: 50 Cards to Process Your Emotions, etc. Why was there a gap of 8 years between the two and had this new 50 card box-set been on your mind to release for a while now? - “Yes, I can’t believe it has been since 2018 and since then Emotional Detox has sold over 70K copies. It was never my intention to be a best seller I just wanted to unpack something that I felt wasn’t clearly explained in the self-help world. What many people don’t know is inside Emotional Detox are the seven steps of an Emotional Detox placed in the acronym of C.L.E.A.N.S.E.”

“Those steps would become not only a staple in my own life but also the books which followed Emotional Detox. Within those eight years I published four more books including: Emotional Detox for Anxiety, Emotional Detox Now: 135 Cleanses to Transform Your Life, Energy in Action a book about manifesting (also included Cleanse) and Just Ask Spirit a book about how emotional processing leads to spiritual development and intuition. Now here we are in 2026 with the Emotional Detox Deck.”

“Was it always on my mind? You might say, C.L.E.A.N.S.E the steps for emotional process are. I live and breathe them. The deck arrived because I absolutely love decks and I have a seventeen year old who is obsessed with decks. When she grabbed the deck and started using it, I knew it was a winner.”

Is there a difference between them informationally, or do they both bring forth the same messages? - “Emotional Detox came out in 2018 and since then I have evolved quite a bit. The steps remain the same it the information within those steps has deepened. My relationship with the steps has grown over the years. I have learned so much about myself and my clients by using them. The messages are always different. This is because emotions I believe open up the gateway between you and your soul. If you want to hear, feel, sense your soul emotions will lead the way. I am always learning and growing.”

They have been inspired by your powerful C.L.E.A.N.S.E. method, so can you please inform our readers as to what that actually is and how it came about? - “The Cleanse Method is the steps of the Emotional Detox. They are mindful in nature and there is more than one technique per step. Yet the steps or order of the steps never change. They are:

C Clear Reactivity
L Look Inward
E Emit Sound
A Activate
N Nourish
S Surrender
E Ease

Right now as I am writing this I am on vacation and really sinking my teeth into the Surrender step. I am noticing how this intention is bringing up some old resistance patterns and giving myself permission to release and transform them. This is something you can do with the Emotional Detox Deck, give yourself permission to sink into one step.”

Can you further explain what, to you, is Emotional Freedom, how fast it can be obtained, and how having it can enhance someone’s life? - “Emotional freedom is a journey. If you are worried about time or want things to be fast then that is probably something you ought to think about Cleansing. When we rush or have a sense of urgency about things, we create more inner resistance. I say let go and trust. You really can’t rush healing and restoration. With that said, I say it is a heck of a lot faster than sitting in emotional reactivity. Days, months, years can go by when you “think” about what you feel rather than process it. Emotional processing allows you to be present and live your life.”

What originally brought you into the world of mental health and spiritual wellbeing all those years ago? - “I went to school for Psychology and eventually became a School Psychologist. I have always been spiritual and drawn to the inner world of what causes people think, feel and behave the way they do. I grew up in a crisis like environment. My home was raided for drugs when I was eight years old. This ought to give you an idea of what it was like.”

And in interviews that I have watched you pay mention to the fact that these Emotional Detox books were born from you yourself drowning in your own emotional crisis, is that true? - “Yes, Emotional Detox was my wake up book. Believe it or not I had written six books prior to it on anxiety. I had a deeply rooted defensive mechanism called denial. I didn’t want to see how bad things had gotten, so I ignored it until it blew up in front of my face. The interesting thing is the book I wrote prior to Emotional Detox was called Mantras Made Easy. While writing that book I had a very devoted mantra practice. I recited daily a mantra asking for truth. Boy, did I get it. It was my wake up call and from that Emotional Detox was born.”

Please tell us more about your website and what offers you might currently have going on for our readers - “My website is Official Sherianna Boyle Website. You can find my Emotional Detox membership where I offer monthly LIVE Cleanse gatherings and people from all over the world gather to move through the steps, it is very powerful. I also have Cleanse Yoga for members and some fitness (Barre) as I also having been teaching yoga and fitness for 25 years. Movement is such an essential part of Clearing reactivity in the body. To me it is the first step of the Cleanse, you have got to move.”

Lastly, if someone were to read this interview and become curious over whether or not to buy the book or the card set, what would you say to them to perhaps motivate them to do so? - “I would say, you are not alone. Maybe people are afraid to address emotions because they look at it like opening a can of worms. Yet, I would tell them Cleansing is about talking. You are not going to revisit the past you are going to identify and clear it. There is a big difference between the two. I understand if you are ambivalent because I was in your shoes. Trust your gut and if you need support reach out for a private session or join the membership. You will see it is a process which anyone can do and it leaves you feeling calm, relaxed and grounded.”
