It’s pouring outside, and I’m kicked back, soaking up every rumble of thunder while this rant brews. 🌧️ Something about the rain makes me reflect on the people who drain us the most—those “black holes of need” who stay hungry no matter how much you pour into them. You know the type: one missed favor after years of bending over backward and suddenly you’re the villain.  

In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I’m calling out Greedy & Ungrateful People—why they behave the way they do, how their bottomless appetites infect friendships, family, and especially the workplace, and the silent toll it takes on the rest of us. From bosses who expect you to “work miracles with no resources” to friends who ghost the minute you set a boundary, I’m breaking down the patterns so you can spot them early and dodge the emotional shakedown. 

What you’ll hear inside:

  • Red-Flag Radar: The subtle (and not-so-subtle) warning signs that someone’s greed will swallow you whole.
  • Workplace Reality Check: How companies slash staff, pile on duties, and still wonder why quality tanks—and what to do before burnout burns you out.  
  • Boundary Boot Camp: Practical scripts for saying “Nope” without guilt, plus my own blueprint for exiting toxic jobs strategically, not impulsively.
  • Family & Friends Edition: Why some loved ones will never be satisfied—and how to protect your peace without starting WWIII.
  • Karma’s Clock: A reminder that greed pays temporarily—but only until reality (or karma) sends the bill.  

I’m sharing raw stories from my workplace, the moments coworkers showed their true colors, and the lessons I learned pulling myself out of thankless trenches. If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s you or them, this episode hands you the flashlight—and the exit map.

So grab your coffee, lace up those rainy-day slippers, and press play. Let’s talk truth, set brutal boundaries, and reclaim the energy we keep giving to people who don’t deserve it. Trust me: by the end, you’ll know exactly when to keep giving—and when to raise your anchor and sail on.
