The Crab Basket Effect: Overcoming Resistance from your Inner Critic and an Unsupportive Environment on the path of Personal Growth ​

The Crab Basket Effect: Overcoming Resistance from your Inner Critic and an Unsupportive Environment on the path of Personal Growth ​

Author: Astrid Heystee August 21, 2024 Duration: 12:40

Do you feel unsupported by your inner circle when it comes to personal development? And is that holding you back? Well, this episode might give you some insights about why your environment is trying to keep you in your comfort zone.

Whether your are creating more freedom in your life as a digital nomad or location independent entrepreneur. Or whether you embark on a spiritual or personal growth path to create more purpose in your life.

Your loved ones or group of friends are perhaps not the most supportive cheerleaders in this case. And there is a reason for that.

In this episode I mention that to overcome this crab basket effect it is useful to surround yourself with likeminded people to feel seen and heard. And that is why she created the Hexagon of Freedom coaching program to find community and support of like minded people who are embarking on this personal growth journey with you.


I am curious to hear if you resonate with the feeling of "being dragged down" by your inner critic or your inner circle. If you want to engage in a conversation about this or have some questions around the crab basket effect, leave me a voice note via: https://www.speakpipe.com/palmtreemoments.
