Description

This week, Barb and Michelle discuss the hot topic of entitlement. They talk about different ways entitlement can show up, letting go of entitlement, and dealing with entitled people. They also discuss how the instant gratification mentality can spark entitlement in our lives. 


In this episode, they talk about:

  • The distinction between confidence and entitlement. The idea of holding onto your worthiness without being entitled. 
  • Approaching things with humility and empathy instead of judging or believing we’re higher than others.
  • Letting go of the idea that we’re owed instant gratification
  • Blaming outside factors rather than believing in ourselves and putting in the work to grow, heal, and get to our goals

Great topic! I have witnessed very rude behavior at retail stores. Unfortunately, there are small moments of kind gestures. I try to consider that these people have underlying issues to behave poorly.
