Hey UN•THERAPIST,

We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…

What does it really mean to pour from an empty cup? We hear it all the time, “I’m drained.” But if you’re empty in some areas and still full in others, is your cup really empty?

Or are you just tired of pouring into the same people, the same conversations, the same situations?

So now we have to ask:

📌 Is your cup empty, or is your patience?

📌 Are there people you avoid because they drain more than they deposit?

📌 Are there conversations you no longer want to have because they exhaust you instead of energize you?

And here’s another layer:

📌 Who determines the cup is empty?

📌 The person pouring, or the person being poured into?

Because sometimes the person receiving still expects more, while the person giving feels like they’ve already given everything.

And we can’t skip this part:

📌 Have you said anything?

📌 Have you communicated that it’s draining you, or just created distance without explanation?

📌 Because if they don’t know, can they adjust?

So maybe it’s not always an empty cup, maybe it’s unspoken boundaries, and selective pouring.

Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE empty cups vs selective pouring, emotional boundaries, draining relationships, and who really decides when you have nothing left to give.

Hey UN•THERAPIST,

We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…

Is being cheap the same as being frugal?

We sparked this from a conversation where it was said, "If a man is using coupons, looking for deals, or trying to save money, that’s not attractive."

But let’s pause.

📌 If you can save money, why wouldn’t you?
📌 Are we ignoring discounts to look like we got it?

Coach said it plain: "When his wife saves him money, that’s a turn on."

So now the real question is…
📌 Are we mislabeling discipline as cheap?

Because there’s a difference between not having and knowing how to manage what you do have.

Then we shifted gears: BABY SHOWERS.

📌 At what point did they turn into full-on adult game nights?

Musical chairs, winner takes all, some of these games feel less like a celebration and more like a competition.

So, who are baby showers really for? The baby OR the adults?

And one more thing...
📌 How is it that someone can call you “the problem” but years later, they’re still in the same place?
📌 Was it really you or a mindset that never changed?

Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE cheap vs. frugal, discipline vs. perception, baby shower culture, and accountability vs. repeated patterns.

Hey UN•THERAPIST,

Should influence and impact equal equity?

We had a conversation centered around Mr. Walter Johnson, also known as "Mr. Tendernism," and what stood out about him wasn’t just the content; it was the connection we felt to him through our phone screens, the virality, and the way people showed up to the restaurant because of him.

But here’s the twist 👇🏾

He didn’t own the restaurant. So now the question becomes…

📌 If an employee becomes a driving force behind your business growth, bringing attention, customers, and revenue, should that translate into ownership?

From the outside, it feels like a quick “yes," But from the inside, it’s not that simple.

📌 If you give equity to one, do you owe it to all?
📌 Where’s the line?
📌 Who decides when influence becomes ownership?

And on the flip side, as a creative, is that a conversation you should have up front? Or is virality too unpredictable to plan for?

Because here’s the real tension: when someone contributes in a major way, do you let them grow with you or risk losing them altogether?

If people came for him and he’s gone, what happens to the business?

Was it worth holding onto everything to potentially lose what helped you grow?

Or was the company right in protecting what they built?

Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE influence vs ownership, creative value vs compensation, and whether impact should ever translate into equity.
