The Bill You Didn't Know You Were Paying!

In this episode of Bounce Back Better, Hilary Saxton unpacks "assumption tax," the price you pay for acting on stories you never stopped to question. It starts with a white suitcase in a hotel lobby and a woman Hilary never spoke to, and it ends with a clear, practical way to stop the spending. This one is funny before it's confronting. There's a suitcase, a pair of Zara pants, and a changing-room moment Hilary will never fully recover from. But underneath the comedy sits a sharp diagnosis: most of us are running our lives on sentences we've never checked, and those sentences cost us in our money, decisions, relationships, and peace. Hilary breaks down the four areas assumptions quietly drain, why an assumption only needs to be believed (not true) to affect you, and the five-word question that creates enough of a pause to stop you paying. What you'll learn What assumption tax is and the four areas it quietly costs you Why an assumption doesn't need to be true to run your life How assumptions turn relationships into stories instead of conversations The five-word question that interrupts the pattern A simple one-area exercise to try this week https://hilarysaxton.com/ "An assumption does not need to be true to affect your life. It only needs to be believed."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
