Why are we so quick to assume the worst—and then act like it’s truth?


There’s a quieter, more powerful option available to you: assume positive intent.

Not in the moments that are clearly unacceptable. Not when your boundaries are being crossed.

But in the everyday, subtle situations where we turn nothing into something.

Someone cuts you off.

A comment lands the wrong way.

A girl in your workshop says she’s bored.

And just like that, a story forms.

But what if it wasn’t about you?

What if there was something else going on—something neutral, or even understandable?

Because here’s the truth: assuming negative intent is exhausting. It’s heavy. It drains you.

And assuming positive intent? It frees you.

You’re using energy either way.

Choose the kind that actually feels good in your body.


In this episode:

  • Why we default to negative assumptions
  • The difference between protecting yourself and overinterpreting
  • How this shift transforms your relationships and leadership
  • A simple reframe that creates more ease, connection, and clarity
