Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"With calm and compassionate power, Yasmine is helping us to find our way back home--back to our own selves." --Layla Saad, New York Times bestselling author of Me & White Supremacy
"Yasmine's work is monumental, and I am in much better holistic alignment because of her dedicated and helpful offerings to the world."--Alex Elle, author of After the Rain
A radical approach to setting boundaries and protecting your energy, rich with tools for self-healing.
Imagine a glass jar filled with sugar on a kitchen counter. You are the jar, and the sugar is your energy. If the jar has no lid, people can come in and take as much sugar as they want. Sometimes, they spill that sugar all over. You may try to refill your jar--replenish your energy--through self-care, but because there is no a lid--no protective boundary--you cannot control how much of your vital life force is being drained.
The Sugar Jar metaphor is a powerful teaching tool that wellness advocate and coach Yasmine Cheyenne has successfully used with her clients. Now, in her debut book, she makes it available to everyone. Combining stories, exercises, and prompts, The Sugar Jar lets you see just how much energy you have and how much is being used by others. It helps you identify what depletes you, what restores you, and how to recognize destructive patterns. It empowers you to free yourself from performing for and serving others, teaching you to set boundaries to help you heal and recharge. The Sugar Jar frees you from the excess stress and exhaustion that wears you down. It allows you to unleash your authentic self, choose joy, and find lasting balance.
A compassionate teacher, Cheyenne offers a unique and much needed perspective. A former member of the Air Force working with victims of domestic violence, she has specifically designed her approach and questions about boundaries, self-care, and self-healing for readers of all backgrounds, and especially readers of color, whose stressors and life challenges have too often been excluded and overlooked. Cheyenne herself has felt unwelcome as a Black woman in predominantly white wellness groups and retreats. Her inclusive message speaks to the needs of BIPOC readers, and accepts them where they are.
Warm and honest, featuring a beautiful and inviting two-color design, The Sugar Jar shows you how to make small adjustments that can lead to big changes in your life.

"Wellness and self-healing expert Yasmine Cheyenne's THE SUGAR JAR, an accessible, inclusive approach to self-healing, boundary setting, and protecting your Sugar Jar (a.k.a. your core energy)"-- Provided by publisher.
Cheyenne uses her signature metaphor of "the sugar jar", in which we are the jar and the sugar is our energy, as a tool for helping us protect our energy and identify patterns. In identifying what depletes and what restores us, we can make adjustments to nurture our energy, create more balance, and heal our lives. -- adapted from jacket
