We Need to Talk… About Assumptions
from Bubbly and Blazers Hosted by Bubbly and Blazers
In this episode of Bubbly & Blazers, Shayla McLean and Ainsley unpack a topic we all trip over more than we’d like to admit: assumptions. From assuming meeting times (AM vs PM 🙃), to misreading friendships, workplace dynamics, and dating “situationships,” this conversation explores how assumptions quietly derail our time, energy, confidence, and communication. What starts as a funny gym mishap turns into a deeper discussion about why ambitious women often avoid asking clarifying questions — and how that hesitation shows up in business, relationships, and self-worth. You’ll hear real stories, honest reflections, and practical takeaways on: Why assumptions feel easier than asking questions How busyness and ambition can amplify miscommunication The role self-confidence plays in clear communication Why asking questions actually makes you more professional Simple habits to slow down, clarify expectations, and stay aligned If you’ve ever thought “I didn’t want to bother them” or “I should already know this” — this episode is your gentle (and funny) reminder to pause, clarify, and communicate. Pour yourself a bubbly, take a breath, and press play.
