Listen "Crabs in a Bucket and the Cost of Rising"
Episode Synopsis
If you have ever decided to go all in on yourself and then found people around you suddenly turning cold, critical or weirdly unsupportive, this episode is for you.
I share a behind-the-scenes moment from 2013 when I was about to hit a new level in business. On the surface everything looked great but underneath I was burning energy trying to hold it all together while navigating resistance from people who were not keeping up. What I later learned was this. When your frequency rises the people around you can feel it. And not everyone handles that well.
We talk about what happens when you start growing and others start grabbing. leadThe subtle sabotage. The offhanded comments. The crabs-in-a-bucket behaviour that tries to drag you back down. You will learn why internal armour is essential. Why leadership means being okay with being misunderstood. And why your job is not to shrink for someone else's comfort.
This is about energy. Intention. And building resilience while you build success.
Whether you are stepping into something new in your life career or business the truth is this. Not everyone will like it. But that does not mean you stop. You are not here to stay small. You are here to lead. Own your energy. Own your impact. And let the crabs clatter.
I cannot wait to hear what this brings up for you.
