When you start leveling up, pay attention to who cheers you on and who tries to pull you back into the bucket.

In this microdose episode, Stefanie unpacks the crab effect: when people (often subconsciously) try to keep you small because your growth triggers their fear of being left behind. She shares the most common signs, like dismissing your goals, downplaying your wins, reminding you of past failures, or projecting their fears onto you, and why it is not personal.

You will also learn how to spot the cheerleaders in your life, protect your energy, and keep rising anyway.

Challenge: Do an audit of your circle. Who pulls you down? Who lifts you up? Pour into the cheerleaders and set boundaries where you need them.

Let us know what you think!
