Eps 124 - When Assuming Makes an Ass out of You and Me | The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Description
In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton unpack the sneaky ways assumptions shape our reactions, relationships, and inner narratives. From an empty water jug in the fridge to old family programming, they explore how quickly we jump to conclusions—and how curiosity can completely change the story.
In this episode:
Why assumptions often reveal more about our programming than the present moment
How reactivity passes down through families if we don’t interrupt it
A powerful parenting reframe: curiosity over criticism
Stories of how a simple question turned frustration into gratitude
Why assumptions are “wrong.com lenses” that distort reality
How to model healthier responses for kids and partners
Ash and Dave invite you to pause, ask better questions, and notice how your assumptions are shaping your relationships—and your peace of mind.
Reflection prompts:
Where in your life do you assume the worst?
How could curiosity shift your perspective in those moments?
What assumptions have you inherited that it’s time to let go of?
