What if the way you think about people when they’re not around is shaping you more than it affects them? Jami goes solo to dig into generosity of thought, assumption, and hope, showing how small shifts in our inner dialogue can create huge changes in peace, relationships, and results. This isn’t about pretending everything is fine; it’s about building tactical optimism, questioning snap judgments, generating kinder possibilities, and consciously choosing the most resourceful story.
We start by mapping our default lens. Do we approach strangers at the store, drivers on the road, or coworkers at the office with suspicion or generosity? Jami offers practical experiments: test your first five assumptions in the wild, set “everyone is awesome” as a baseline for a day, and notice what happens to your mood, decisions, and body. When a trigger hits, ask what else could be true and pick the interpretation that protects your peace. Assuming positive intent until proven otherwise isn’t weakness; it’s strategy that preserves clarity and reduces needless conflict.
From faith-fueled practices to ontological coaching insights, Jami shares how feedback, Scripture, and community help quiet the noisy “committee” in our heads and strengthen agency. We talk about holding space for potential over pattern, seeing the not yet instead of the never will, and how mindset leaks, people can feel it when you show up tight or open. If you’ve felt stuck in cynicism, ruminating on slights or carrying the weight of fixed narratives, this conversation offers accessible tools to reset your lens and move through the world with steadier hands.
