How much of your stress comes from what actually happened... and how much comes from the story your mind created about it?We all make assumptions. About what other people are thinking, why they acted the way they did, what their intentions were—even about ourselves. The challenge is that we often mistake those assumptions for facts.In this episode, we'll explore how assumptions quietly shape our relationships, fuel unnecessary conflict, and keep us stuck in stories that may not even be true. You'll learn why asking better questions creates deeper connection, how assumptions affect communication, and how a little curiosity can dramatically reduce suffering.If you've ever found yourself saying, "I know exactly why they did that," this episode is for you.Questions or Comments?
