In today's episode, Kim and Jill delve into the theme of assumptions—how easily they form and their potential to cause harm. The discussion highlights personal anecdotes, insights on manifestation, and practical advice for overcoming the habit of assuming.

Key Takeaways

Assumptions are Easy but Harmful: They often lead to frustration and anger when things don't go as expected.

Personal Anecdote: Kim shares a driving experience that triggered reflections on assumptions about others' actions.

The Flaw in the Plan: A recurring concept discussed by Jill; it suggests that perfection is an illusion, leading us to default toward negative outcomes if unchecked.

Manifestation Missteps: When setting intentions or goals, avoid "should have," "could have," or "would have" mindsets—they're counterproductive.

Repeatedly making assumptions without recognizing them perpetuates less-than-optimal states in our lives.

Breaking Habits:
