About this listen

“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 listeners of all backgrounds, and especially listeners 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 listeners, and accepts them where they are.

Warm and honest, The Sugar Jar shows you how to make small adjustments that can lead to big changes in your life.

The Blueprint for black women

This book OMG..I never thought I would read a book that word for word describes the life experiences and thoughts that run through my head on a daily and I think how will I manage them all without losing myself and get to my happy. The sugar jar concept gives me refuge and permission to take my power back and unapologetically LIVE!!

Loved it!!

I appreciated authors voice while listening which is important because I stayed engaged. I also was reminded how to fill my sugar and had so many ah-ha moments that resonated. If you’re thinking about getting it, do it!

I felt like she was talking to me about me

I loved it from start to finish. There was so much that I could relate to personally and I'm grateful for the validation.
