Ever caught yourself stewing in silence, waiting for someone to read your mind? Yeah… same. In this episode of Listen Up, Younger Self, we’re digging into assumptions—those sneaky little stories we make up in our heads that quietly wreck our relationships.
I’m talking about the unspoken expectations, the eye-rolls we don’t explain, and the “you should’ve known” moments that build walls instead of connection. I’ll share where these habits come from, why our brains default to assumption mode, and how to stop turning quiet moments into emotional booby traps.
You’ll get real talk, a little neuroscience, and a few personal stories (because yep, I’ve done it too). Plus, I’ll give you some simple tools to ditch the drama, speak up with love, and create deeper connections—with your partner, your kids, your friends… and yourself.
This one’s for the strong ones who’ve stayed silent too long. Let’s change that!
Connect with me, I'd love any suggestions for future episodes.
