Dare To Speak: Difficult Conversations That Change Everything
Dare to Speak: Difficult Conversations That Can Change Everything is for anyone navigating separation, divorce or a relationship in crisis who has swallowed their truth to keep the peace and paid the price for it.
Hosted by Eve Stanway, psychotherapist, accredited divorce and breakup coach, and author of Conversations at the Shoreline, this podcast explores the conversations we avoid, the silence that builds resentment, and the courage it takes to speak clearly when everything feels uncertain.
Whether you are a man struggling to find the right words during separation, a woman trying to be heard, or a co-parent learning to communicate after the relationship has ended, these episodes offer real tools for real moments.
Drawing on 25 years of clinical experience and her original frameworks, the Magic Three (Clarify, Communicate, Correct) and Listen, Speak, Lead, Eve holds space for honesty, clarity and self-respect. No blame. No drama. No judgement.
If you have ever thought "I don't know how to say this" or "I'm scared of what happens if I do," this podcast is for you.
Because your voice matters. And some conversations change everything.
