The Weight of Broken Promises: Expectations, Mental Debt & Letting People Down
Description
In this powerful follow-up episode, Trev sits back down with Jack and Griselda to expand on the topic of expectations—but this time, they go deeper into the hidden cost behind unmet promises: mental debt.
They break down how constantly overpromising and underdelivering doesn’t just affect your credibility—it creates emotional pressure, ruins trust, strains relationships, and damages your own mental health over time. Whether it’s personal goals, friendships, work commitments, or relationships, the trio discusses what happens when expectations aren’t grounded in reality.
This episode is a raw conversation about responsibility, emotional maturity, and the courage it takes to either deliver—or stop pretending.
✅ How unmet expectations create mental debt
✅ The emotional toll of breaking promises (to others AND yourself)
✅ Why people overcommit to avoid discomfort
✅ How to rebuild trust after failing to deliver
✅ How to set aligned expectations rooted in self-awareness
If you’ve ever felt guilty for not living up to your words—or felt burned by someone who didn’t—this episode will challenge your mindset and help you reset your approach to expectations and responsibility.
