They told you to be good.
To be kind. Humble. Deserving.
To pour into others.
To give what you have. And then give a little more.
They taught you how to sacrifice,
how to stretch,
how to serve like your worth depended on it.
But they forgot to teach you how to receive.
How to rest without guilt.
How to build without bleeding.
How to overflow without apology.
So you burn bright and burn out.
Pouring hope into systems that weren’t built to hold your vision.
Stretching your energy thinner than your margins.
Convincing yourself that crumbs of rest are the cost of making a difference.
Let me be blunt:
✨ You weren’t designed to be the whole damn fountain.
You were meant to be the top glass.
The first to receive.
The one that fills and spills and spills again.
Not out of obligation. Out of rhythm.
Out of sacred design.
Overflow Isn’t a Luxury. It’s Leverage.
Picture a champagne tower.
That first glass? It doesn't apologize for catching every bubble.
It doesn’t question whether it deserves to be full.
It receives.
And because it receives freely, it spills freely.
That’s what makes the cascade possible.
When you stop centering depletion and start honoring expansion—
that’s when your clients feel the shift.
That’s when your community gets not just your scraps,
but your brilliance. Your presence. Your strategy. Your softness.
Every deliberate pour is a refusal.
To run dry. To disappear. To serve without being seen.
Overflow isn’t selfish.
It’s what turns the ripple into a wave.
And On the Ordinary Days?
It’s easy to see the fountain from a distance.
The sacred geometry. The cascading miracle.
A vision of abundance in perfect motion.
But up close?
It looks like tending what’s yours first.
The daily devotion of staying full.
The quiet decision to honor your energy before offering it.
Like the old teacups passed down—always served with a saucer beneath,
ready to catch the blessing.
We serve best from the saucer.
That’s where sustainability lives.
Where overflow, when tended well, becomes fertile soil.
It feeds ideas.
It nourishes communities.
It roots futures we’re still daring to speak aloud.
The World Changes When You Receive First
You get to be fully nourished.
Start there. Stay there. Build everything from there.
You get to feel good about charging more.
Hold it. Direct it. Let it do good.
You get to build out infrastructure, team, and time freedom
without shame.
You stop apologizing for receiving and start celebrating.
You get to stop asking whether your vision is too much
and start asking whether it’s big enough.
You are a wave.
A force.
A fountain.
An answer to someone’s prayer.
So, let it spill.
👉 Reflection Prompt:
Where in your life or business have you been giving from the cup instead of the saucer?
What would it look like to let it spill—without guilt, without apology?
🔥 Daily Affirmation
My overflow is routine, not rare.
I am allowed to be the first to receive.
I trust that generosity and resourcing are not in conflict.
I serve from the saucer, not from the sacrifice.
PS: Profit is Protest. And so is refusing to shrink your needs to fit someone else’s comfort. When we serve from the saucer, we build legacies that last.
