What if the story you’re telling yourself... is completely wrong?

In this episode, Michael Dawson kicks off a powerful new mini-series by revealing the hidden power of assumptions, those snap judgments we make about others, the world, and most dangerously, ourselves.

With a gripping story about a speeding driver, a compassionate cop, and a twist that flips everything on its head, Michael shows just how much a single sentence can rewrite reality.

You’ll discover:

  • Why the assumptions you make without evidence are silently steering your life

  • How to use Michael’s 7 Assumptions to change how you think, speak, and act, starting today

  • How beliefs like “You are the expert of your own life” and “There is no failure, only lessons” can unlock lasting change

  • The surprising truth about human behavior and why “pretending you can” might be the key to becoming who you want to be

Whether you’re here because your Quit Your Diet quiz pointed to identity and beliefs, or you just feel stuck, this episode gives you a fresh, compassionate lens to see yourself through.

Hit play now and learn how to challenge the lies your brain whispers, one life-shaping assumption at a time.
