In this episode, Eve Stanway shares the part of divorce that rarely gets airtime, the quiet shame, the isolation, and the conversations we avoid because we don’t know how to have them without everything falling apart.

Drawing from her own lived experience, Eve explores what really happens when difficult conversations go unspoken, in relationships, families, and even within ourselves. She gently challenges listeners to notice the conversations they’ve been putting off, and why avoidance can feel safer in the moment but cost us far more in the long run.

This is a powerful invitation to stop judging yourself for what you didn’t say back then and start building the skills to say what matters now. Not perfectly. Not bravely every time. Just honestly, with more clarity and self-trust.

If you’ve ever replayed a conversation in your head and wished you’d handled it differently, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why shame and silence often show up after separation
• How avoided conversations shape our confidence and self-belief
• Why difficult conversations are a skill, not a personality trait
• Simple ways to begin practising safer, clearer communication.

This episode is for anyone who knows something needs to be said and is ready to stop carrying it alone.

In this episode, Eve dives into why difficult conversations feel so hard and how to approach them without fear, fallout, or emotional shutdown.

She introduces the Magic 3 framework, a simple, powerful way to navigate conversations that feel loaded, tense, or long overdue, and explores why so many communication breakdowns aren’t about what we say, but how we listen.

We’re not talking about scripts or saying things “perfectly.”
We’re focusing more on staying present, being heard, and creating conversations that move things forward instead of leaving everyone stuck.

Eve also shares ideas for more creative ways to engage in difficult dialogue, especially when traditional approaches just don’t work.

If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking “That didn’t come out how I meant it” or “I wish I’d said something different,” this episode will give you a calmer, clearer way in.

The conversation you’re avoiding isn’t going away, but your confidence in having it can grow.

Today, we look at something most of us struggle with but rarely talk about: difficult conversations. The ones we rehearse in our heads. The ones we avoid for years. The ones that quietly shape our relationships, families, and sense of self.

Eve shares her background and the experiences that led her to this work, before introducing her powerful and practical framework: The Magic 3.

This simple but deeply effective process helps you:

• Clarify what’s really going on beneath the surface
• Communicate with honesty instead of fear
• Correct course when conversations go off track

Rather than reacting, over-explaining, or shutting down, The Magic 3 gives you a structure you can return to again and again, whether you’re navigating relationships, parenting, separation, or long-standing emotional patterns.

This episode isn’t about winning arguments.
It’s about speaking with intention, protecting emotional safety, and learning how to say what needs to be said, without causing more harm.

If you’ve ever thought “I don’t know how to start this conversation” or “I don’t want to make things worse”, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• Why difficult conversations feel so hard and why avoiding them doesn’t protect us
• Eve’s personal journey into communication and emotional safety
• The Magic 3 process: Clarify. Communicate. Correct.
• How to start practising better conversations in real life, not just in theory.

Takeaway:
You don’t need the perfect words.
You need the right approach.

This episode invites you to stop staying silent and start speaking in a way that actually changes things.
