Expectation Vs Entitlement

Million Dollar Grit - A podcast by Julie Chenell

Categories:

Let’s talk about something every coach, consultant, and service provider runs into: the blurry line between a client’s reasonable expectation… and sneaky entitlement. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to tell the difference, why it matters for your energy and boundaries, and how to avoid the resentment spiral that happens when scope creep gets normalized. I’ll share real examples from my own coaching experience (7+ years, hundreds of clients), explain why the energy behind a request is often more telling than the request itself, and offer practical ways to reset your boundaries without burning bridges. If you’ve ever thought “Ugh, I was too nice—now I don’t know how to rein it in”… I've got you!
