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.

Difficult conversations don’t fall apart because people don’t care.
They fall apart because the words, the tone, and the fear underneath take over.

In this episode, Eve Stanway explores what really happens when conversations feel too hard to have and why logic alone rarely helps in the moment.

Eve shares her unique coaching approach, including how voice, performance, and even singing can help people regulate their nervous system and reconnect with what they actually want to say. Because when emotions run high, communication isn’t just about language, it’s about safety, presence, and expression.

You’ll hear why the words we choose can either escalate conflict or soften it, and how small shifts in language can completely change the outcome of a difficult conversation. Eve also gives a glimpse into the practical tools she’ll be sharing in future episodes, tools designed to help you stay grounded, clear, and connected when conversations feel loaded or emotionally charged.

If you’ve ever replayed a conversation in your head thinking “I wish I’d said that differently”, you’ll find this episode very useful.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why difficult conversations are rarely about the surface issue
• How voice and performance can support emotional regulation
• The hidden power of language in moments of conflict
• What actually helps people navigate conversations they’re afraid of having.

This is a gentle, human look at communication, not as a script to memorise, but as a skill you can feel safe learning.

Because your voice matters, especially in the moments that feel hardest.
