Rise & Rewrite - Episode 32: What Makes You Think You Deserve It?

Entitlement. It’s a word we don’t like to associate with ourselves, but if we’re honest, it’s lurking in the background of so many of our thoughts: “I deserve this job,” “I deserve happiness,” “I deserve success.” But what makes you think you deserve it? Is it because you’ve put in the work, built the skills, and delivered results? Or is it just because you want it, because life is hard, or because someone else has it? In this episode of Rise & Rewrite, we’re dismantling the myth of deservedness. We’re digging into the uncomfortable truths about effort, entitlement, and the gap between what you want and what you’re truly earning. This isn’t about sugarcoating. It’s about calling out the mindset that keeps you stuck in frustration and shifting your focus to what really matters: building, growing, and earning your place. Are you ready to face the tough questions? To stop waiting for the world to hand you what you want and start doing the work to create it? Let’s get into it.
