Assumption: The Creative Act

What if your brain is quietly proving your fears right? We dig into the hidden power of assumptions—the invisible scripts that shape what you notice, how you act, and the results you get—by blending story, neuroscience, and practical coaching. From the reticular activating system’s role in filtering reality to the way early emotions wrote meanings you still carry, we show how identity and assumption form a loop that either limits or lifts your life.

We share Carla’s story of landing a dream presentation and walking in with the certainty of failure, revealing how protection becomes limitation when the nervous system keeps running yesterday’s rules. Then we map a clear path to rewrite the script: name the old assumption, choose one aligned with who you’re becoming, and take one confirming action. Action teaches the brain faster than thought, and repetition installs identity—so small, consistent behaviors create big, compounding proof. You’ll practice out-loud declarations to signal a new standard to your body and mind, and you’ll learn to spot the first memory where your assumption formed so you can update it with care.

By the end, you’ll have a grounded process to replace “I’ll mess this up” with “My voice adds value,” turn anxiety into steady presence, and reorient your RAS to highlight openings instead of obstacles. Confidence becomes a practiced assumption. Resilience becomes a reinforced belief. Authority stops being control over others and starts feeling like alignment within yourself. If this resonates, grab the ebook “Standing in Your Own Authority” from our show notes to reinforce the work, and try the one-action rule today.
