Ep.85 Are Your Friends the Problem?

Do you have crabs? 🦀 

As friends I mean! (get your mind out of the gutter!!!!) 

When you look at who you’re spending time with, it’s important to make sure they aren’t acting like a bunch of crabs…⁣ ⁣ 

You see, if you put one crab in a bucket, you have to put a lid on the bucket or else it will climb out.⁣ ⁣ If you put multiple crabs in a bucket, you don’t need to put a lid on the bucket because if one crab tries to climb out the others will pull it back down. ⁣ ⁣ 

Unfortunately, a lot of women are like this.⁣ ⁣ 

If one girl in the friends group tries to better herself... level up her life…. make changes for the better...⁣… ⁣ Her “friends” pull her back down.⁣ 

“Aren’t you on a diet?” “Are you allowed to eat that?” “Do you really have to workout? “Come on, skip the gym and drink with me!” 

Any of that sound familiar? 

Then hate to break it to you, But this is a confirmed case of crabs.⁣ 

We want to share with you how to have these tough conversations and why surrounding yourself with more supportive women and people will change your life.
