Assumptions: Is the Story in Your Head Actually True?

What happens when the story in your head feels like a fact? In this episode of _Wisdom Behind the Words_, DeeDee and Kursten explore how assumptions shape our relationships, decisions, and opportunities. A sigh becomes “he’s angry with me.” A promising opportunity becomes “I’m not good enough.” Sometimes those stories create conflict or hold us back before we’ve checked whether they’re true. Through stories from work and family life, they discuss a practical way to pause: ask what evidence supports your assumption, what evidence challenges it, and whether a direct conversation could clear things up. You may discover a very different explanation or an opportunity you hadn’t considered.
