11: The Root of Relationship Problems

How many times have you gotten upset with your partner—not because of what they actually said or did, but because of what you assumed they meant?

Assumptions are at the root of so many relationship struggles. We assume we know what our partner meant, so we get defensive. We assume we know their intentions, so we judge them. We assume we know how they feel, so we react—without ever checking if any of it is actually true.

In this episode, I share a personal story about how a simple change in plans led to an unnecessary misunderstanding—all because of assumptions. I also break down:

•Why our brains are wired to assume (and how it works against us)

•How assumptions trigger us and make real communication impossible

•The simple shift that stops assumptions in their tracks

•What to say instead of assuming, so you can actually understand each other

If you’ve ever found yourself reacting before you even know the full story, this episode is for you.
