There's a version of negotiation that has nothing to do with raises or job offers. It happens in ordinary conversations, when an agreement quietly becomes something bigger than what you actually said yes to.

Most people don't catch it in the moment. They catch it later, and by then they've already started doubting themselves instead of questioning what changed. That self-doubt is doing more damage than the shift itself.

I'm breaking down why this happens, how to spot it before it becomes a habit, and what to do the next time you feel that gap between what you agreed to and what you're now expected to do.

In this episode, I'll cover:

• Why scope creep is a negotiation problem most people never label as one
• The difference between doubting your memory and correctly identifying a shift
• What to do the moment you notice the gap, before it becomes a pattern
