About the book
So many of us feel the exhaustion of performing for
others as we walk through life. We feel the pull to be “the strong one” in hard moments, and we all experience roadblocks to truly setting healthy
boundaries for ourselves. Yasmine uses her signature metaphor of
"The Sugar Jar”—in which we are the jar and the sugar is our energy, and she teaches us how to maintain a healthy lid, or boundary— as a tool for helping us protect our energy and identify patterns in what depletes and what restores us.
Warm, vulnerable, and illuminating, The Sugar
Jar shows that through little adjustments to
nurture our energy, we can create more balance and healing in our lives.
