The way you speak to your children today becomes the voice they carry into adulthood.

In this episode, Eve explores how our own childhood experiences quietly shape the way we communicate as adults, especially when conversations feel charged, emotional, or uncomfortable.

She reflects on the messages we absorb growing up, the coping mechanisms we develop, and how easily these patterns are passed down without us realising. For parents in particular, this episode is an invitation to pause and ask an important question: What am I teaching my child about communication, safety, and expression, without even saying a word?

Eve also gently challenges how differently children are being raised today, and what may be lost when difficult emotions are rushed, avoided, or smoothed over rather than understood.

We are not blaming, we are creating awareness.

You’ll be encouraged to:

• Notice your own communication habits under pressure
• Reflect on where those patterns began
• Consider how your words, tone, and silences affect your child
• Use self-reflection as a starting point for change

Eve invites listeners to journal after the episode and share their reflections, helping to shape future conversations on the podcast.

Because learning to navigate difficult conversations doesn’t start when conflict appears.
It starts when we’re willing to look inward.

Journal prompts encouraged.
Your reflections may inspire future episodes.
