Are you future-tripping and making assumptions that drain your happiness? You’re not alone, and today we’re tackling the real reason why assumptions wreak havoc on your nervous system, your relationships, and your peace.
In this raw and real episode, Audrey Rose breaks down how making assumptions—about friendships, relationships, or even random situations—keeps you stuck in anxiety and overthinking. Instead of living in the now, we waste energy imagining worst-case scenarios that may never even happen.
In this episode, we dive into:
✔️ Why making assumptions fuels anxiety, frustration, and emotional exhaustion
✔️ The science behind overthinking—how your nervous system reacts to assumed stress
✔️ Real-life examples of how assumptions damage friendships & cause unnecessary drama
✔️ How to stop ruminating and start living fully in the present
✔️ Practical steps to reset your nervous system, calm your mind, and take a breather
✔️ Why it’s okay to take space, rest, and not respond to everything immediately
