When Your Cup Feels Empty (And You Keep Pouring Anyway)

I see this again and again with my clients.

They’re capable. Loving. Deeply intuitive.And completely exhausted.

Not because they don’t know about self-care.Not because they don’t understand boundaries. But because somewhere along the way, they’ve learned to keep giving even when their own cup is empty.

In tarot, this is the language of the Cups.

Cups speak about our emotional world…how we feel, how we nurture, how we love, how we receive. And when the Cups are out of balance, life doesn’t usually fall apart all at once. It slowly deflates.

• You start second-guessing yourself.

• You feel emotionally flat or overwhelmed.

• You keep asking, “Why does this still feel hard?”

Here’s what I’ve learned after decades of spiritual work and thousands of sessions:

You don’t heal emotional burnout by pushing harder or fixing yourself.

You heal it by learning how to be in relationship with your emotions again. Without judging them, suppressing them, or dismissing your own emotions because someone else needs you more.

The Suit of Cups doesn’t ask us to “be positive.” It asks us to be honest:

• Honest about old stuff that still gets triggered.

• Honest about the frustration of always being the strong one.

• Honest about wishing someone would take care of you for once.

• Honest about how drained you feel from always giving.

And when we listen honestly something shifts. We begin to love ourselves again.

Self-love isn’t a destination. It’s a practice. It's:

• Realizing you’re drained and not brushing it off.

• Taking your feelings seriously without letting them run the show.

• Allowing support instead of carrying everything alone.

This is the deeper wisdom of the suit of Cups and it’s why I created a new $19 workshop in February devoted entirely to healing through the suit of cups.

✨ Introducing: The Cup of Self-Love: Fall in Love with Your First

This workshop is a heart-centered, grounding experience designed to help you:

• Make sense of your feelings

• Trust yourself again

• Stop over-giving

• Be gentler with yourself

• Refill your cup in real life, not just in theory

This isn’t about memorizing card meanings or predicting the future. It’s about using the Cups as a mirror for real life: your relationships, your inner dialogue, your emotional needs, and your capacity to receive.

We’ll move gently, keep it grounded, and work with what’s present for you right now.

If you’ve been sensing that something needs to shift, your heart feels tired, guarded, or quietly asking for more, this workshop is for you.

The Cup of Self-Love: Fall in love with you first.
