In this weeks episode,  we focus on exploring the concept of assumptions, how they impact our lives, why we make assumptions, and steps to challenge and overcome them. We discuss how assumptions can lead to communication breakdowns, missed opportunities, strained relationships, limited growth, inaccurate decision-making, stereotypes, and biases. The episode includes listener survey results on assumptions causing hurt feelings and relationship/job loss, as well as reasons for making assumptions such as cognitive efficiency, past experiences, social conditioning, incomplete information, and more. We end by providing steps to recognize and challenge assumptions, fostering open-mindedness, better communication, and improved decision-making.  Find The Joneses on Facebook and Instagram at @SpiritualJoneses FB Discussion Group: www.facebook.com/groups/2771270119654105/ Buy show merchandise www.redbubble.com/people/SpiritualJones Theme song "Real God", written by Adam Goodale, performed by A Dam Good Ale Band. www.facebook.com/agoodalegoodband Cover art by Danny Jones, www.djonesartcollection.com Find Samantha at www.SamanthaJonesPsychicMedium.com @Beyondthebridge11 for Tiktok and Facebook Samantha’s Etsy Page... https://beyondthebridge11.etsy.com/ Dannys Photography Etsy... https://djonesphotography71.etsy.com Dannys Art Etsy... https://djonesartcollection.etsy.com Find Beyond The Bridge every Monday at 5pm EST on Bold Brave TV. https://boldbravetv.com/5pm-beyond-the-bridge/ https://www.youtube.com/live/fpM9m-yqS3A?si=4ev4dIqkHWM7RQJs Listen to Beyond The Bridge...  https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/beyond-the-bridge--6062966 Support the Show.
