There is a moment I often see in my coaching and coursework.
A moment where someone says

“I asked nicely. I stayed calm. I tried everything. And still… nothing changed.”
Or
“I said what I needed, but it just turned into an argument. Again.”
Or
“I feel like I do not matter. Like what I say goes nowhere.”

And I know that moment well because I have been there too.
It is the moment we question whether it is even worth speaking up at all.

It is the moment silence begins to feel safer than connection.

This is the moment where change can begin.

Not by trying harder. Not by becoming quieter. By learning a new way to speak.

Not All Conversations Are Created Equal

The truth is, most of us were never taught how to have difficult conversations.
We might have grown up watching conflict get buried, shouted through or walked away from.

So we learned to avoid. Or to explode. Or to collapse.
And now, as adults, we find ourselves unsure of how to speak in a way that helps anyone, including ourselves.

This is why I created Conversations at the Shoreline: The Live Course.

A six-week guided journey designed to help you move from silence, shutdown and spirals into clarity, confidence and calm connection.

The Framework That Changes Everything: MyMagic3

At the heart of this course is MyMagic3, the simple but powerful framework I share in my book Conversations at the Shoreline:

1. Clarify

2. Communicate

3 Correct

Let me give you an example.

You ask your partner,
“Can you put your shoes away?”

They nod, say yes, and walk off. Later that evening, the shoes are still there. Again.

Now, you have a choice. You can:

• Say nothing and quietly stew
• Snap and shout, “Why do you never listen?”
• Or pause, take a breath, and try something different

You might say:

“I feel disrespected when I have to ask more than once. I know it might seem small, but it builds up and makes me feel invisible.”

That is an “I” statement – not “You never listen” or “You do not care.”

It focuses on your feelings, not their faults.

And if it still does not land, you move to step three: Correct.

You might say:
“I do not think I explained clearly how much this matters to me. Let me try again.”
Or
“I can see this is not working for either of us. Can we talk about it differently?”

Sometimes that is all it takes.

But sometimes, even after clarification and repetition, you discover something deeper.

That the person you are speaking with is no longer responding to your feelings.
That they are no longer treating your perspective as something worth considering.

That is not a communication issue. That is a relational one.

This is when you may need a different kind of conversation altogether.

One that begins with,
“I need to talk, because I am feeling like my needs no longer matter here.”

Doing this work, committing to changing the way you speak and listen, shows you where the real difficulty lies.

It helps you uncover the conversation you should be having.
Sometimes with someone else.
Sometimes with yourself.

This is what makes the work transformative. Not just transactional.

What You Will Learn Inside the Course

 Conversations at the Shoreline is not a script. It is not about becoming someone else.

It is about learning to show up as yourself with clarity, honesty and calm authority.

You will learn how to:

• Prepare for conversations that currently feel overwhelming or pointless
• Stay connected to your body while you speak
• Use “I” statements, listening skills and repetition to get traction
• Spot when a pattern is signalling something deeper
• Know when to pause, when to repair and when to raise a more foundational issue
• Walk away with grace when needed, and without guilt

And perhaps most importantly, you will discover how to take back responsibility and power in a gentle, grounded way.

This gives you clarity, calm and a real sense of choice.

You learn how to speak clearly, listen well and move forward with self-respect.
