About this listen

In this episode, we break down the science behind entitled behavior: where it comes from, how it shows up in relationships, families, and workplaces — and what makes you so susceptible to being bulldozed by it.

We’ll cover:

  • The psychological roots of entitlement (narcissism, insecure attachment, learned helplessness)

  • Why entitled people expect emotional labor and obedience from others

  • How your guilt, people-pleasing, or fear of confrontation fuels their behavior

  • Actionable strategies to stop enabling it without burning yourself out

If you constantly feel responsible for others’ moods, walk on eggshells, or over-explain yourself just to keep the peace — this is the episode that will change the game.

Stop appealing to duty. Start reclaiming your emotional space.
