Episode 16: The conversation you're rehearsing at 3.00am

Ever found yourself wide awake at 3am…mind racing, thoughts looping, and no way to switch it off?In this episode, Eve dives into the exhausting cycle of ruminating thoughts, the kind that keep you stuck, overwhelmed and unable to rest when you need it most.You’ll hear why these thought patterns feel so powerful at night, how they quietly impact your mental health, and why trying to “think your way out of it” often makes things worse.Eve gently reframes what’s really happening in those moments, helping you understand that this isn’t a personal failure, it’s a pattern that can be understood and changed.She also shares why reaching out for support matters more than you might think, and how having the right tools can begin to break the cycle.If your mind feels loud when the world goes quiet…this episode will help you feel less alone, and show you a different way through.NOTES:Visit Eve Stanway’s websiteIf you need help now or you like to chat you can book a call here.Thank you for listening.
