This is a very relatable topic and it is presented in a way that actually feels helpful. I really enjoyed the book and find it an excellent resource for something that can very easily become overwhelming. Highly recommend.
The Sugar Jar asks readers to imagine a glass jar filled with sugar (that represents your energy) and explains how it can be drained (by lacking boundaries) and filled (by setting limits and showing up for yourself).
WHY IT MATTERS
Setting boundaries and protecting your energy is key to living a healthy and fulfilling life.
YOU'LL WANT TO READ THIS IF
•You want to come across wisdom and advice you'll likely revisit (have your highlighter ready!)
•You want personal stories, exercises, and affirmations that teach you to manage your energy
•You're looking for a unique, BIPOC perspective about boundaries and mental health
THE BOTTOM LINE
It feels like the author's personal stories belong in her own therapy session and the sugar jar metaphor feels redundant. For me, Cheyenne's Instagram account with bite-sized advice and wisdom has more impact.
Thanks to HarperOne for providing a copy of this book via NetGalley.
The Sugar Jar is an absolute treasure of a book. It is the perfect mix of gentle and challenging. Filled with moments centered around compassion & accountability IN ADDITION TO personal storytelling from the author, the result is a powerful and impactful book. The Sugar Jar serves as a perfect companion as we walk into the New Year and/or for anyone who is feeling inclined to align and pivot some of their daily practices to achieve a more balanced & harmonious life. 5/5. #TheSugarJar #NetGalley
