For years, I kept trying to feed people from an empty pot.
I served what I had—leftovers of guilt, watery bowls of people-pleasing, lukewarm boundaries floating in fear. I passed it around, smiling as if it were a gourmet meal, while inside I was starving. I had normalized emotional depletion and called it love. I had mistaken over-giving for generosity, silence for peace, and tolerance for grace.
That was my bad soup.
Eating bad soup isn’t just the inspiration for my new book—it’s the turning point of my life. One day, I looked at what I had been consuming emotionally, energetically, spiritually—and I finally pushed the bowl away.
I was blessed that my beloved and partner pointed out this and it changed me dramatically when I was able to sit with that awareness.
I was hungry—for truth, for joy, for me.
The Turning Point
It wasn’t a single moment, but a slow simmer. A boiling point. The heartbreaks that left a metallic taste in my mouth. The betrayals I tried to mask with seasoning. The loneliness that crept in even while I played hostess to everyone else’s needs.
One day, I asked myself: What would happen if I only took in what truly nourished me?
I stopped saying yes when I meant no. I stopped pretending things were fine when they weren’t. I stopped accepting the scraps of love, attention, or care that barely sustained me.
I stopped eating bad soup.
And everything changed.
What the Book Really Is
No More Bad Soup is part memoir, part love letter, part permission slip. It’s made of messy healing and kitchen-table wisdom. Every chapter is a story, a lesson, a reminder that you don’t have to keep consuming what keeps you small.
It’s for the woman who has had enough. The dreamer who wants more. The soul who is ready to taste life again.
You deserve joy that doesn’t ask you to shrink. Nourishment that doesn’t come with conditions. Laughter that doesn’t cover pain. Boundaries that aren’t seen as punishment but as love.
You deserve to choose what goes into your soul.
At the end of each chapter, you’ll find soul-inviting reflection questions—designed to stir your own truth to the surface. These aren’t just prompts. They’re mirrors. Catalysts. Gentle invitations to see where you’ve been accepting emotional leftovers—and how you might begin to nourish yourself with something far more sacred.
Let This Be Your Wake-Up Sip
Maybe you’ve been eating bad soup too. Maybe you’ve been convincing yourself that if you just try harder, it will taste better. But what if the problem isn’t the seasoning? What if it’s the entire recipe?
Here’s what I want you to know: You can stop. You can rewrite the menu of your life. You can start consuming joy, rest, radiance, truth. You can invite others to rise and eat with you at a higher table.
And you can begin right now.
The book is available on Amazon starting June 12, 2025. But more than that—I hope it becomes a mirror. A sacred kitchen. A brave conversation. Let’s stop accepting what starves us.
