Ever swear someone said something to you… only to find out they remember it completely differently? In this episode, we explore the power of perception — how our minds hear what we expect, see what we’ve been conditioned to see, and create misunderstandings out of thin air. From a Harry Potter bedtime debate with my son to a hilarious coffee mix-up with my husband, we dive into how belief systems, upbringing, and personal filters shape the way we interpret the world. By learning to step into someone else’s shoes, we can dissolve defensiveness, open our minds, and find connection in the gray areas of life.
