The Sugar Jar: Create Boundaries, Embrace Self-Healing, and Enjoy the Sweet Things in Life

Imagine a glass jar filled with sugar on a kitchen counter. You’re the jar, and the sugar is your energy. If the jar lacks a lid, people can take as much sugar as they want, sometimes spilling it all over. You try to refill your jar through self-care, but you can’t control how much of your vital life force is drained.

Wellness advocate and coach Yasmine Cheyenne uses the Sugar Jar metaphor to teach her clients. She combines stories, exercises, and prompts to help readers understand their energy levels and how much is being used by others. It identifies what depletes and restores them and how to recognize destructive patterns. Cheyenne herself has felt unwelcome as a Black woman in predominantly white wellness groups and retreats, making her inclusive message resonate with BIPOC readers.
