Jenny Battig takes something that can feel abstract and hard to articulate, our emotional capacity, and gives it shape, language, and clarity. By introducing the concept of emotional “buckets” such as patience, anger, and joy, she creates a visual framework that is both practical and deeply personal. The idea that some of us have larger or smaller buckets, that rocks like old beliefs can reduce our capacity, or that leaks can quietly drain us, makes immediate sense.
As I read, I found myself recognizing my own patterns. The patience bucket especially resonated. Instead of judging myself for running out of patience more quickly than others, I could simply acknowledge that my bucket may be smaller and adjust accordingly. That shift alone created more self compassion and awareness.
What makes this book stand out is its relatability. Jenny’s warmth and humor make the concepts accessible and applicable. This is not theory for theory’s sake. It is a framework you can use daily to check in with yourself, make better choices, and extend empathy to others. I highly recommend this book, especially for coaches and leaders who want a shared language to help clients understand their emotional capacity in a clear, compassionate way.

Teaching, coaching, inspiring and innovating had always played a role in her 20+ year career as an instructional designer (course creator), but she did not realize until later that these strengths were her secret sauce for success as an entrepreneur.
