About the show

Hey legend, welcome to Stephing Up. Have you ever felt that everyone got a manual for life, and yours is from Temu and it smells funny? Me too. I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised best friend in your ears. This podcast is about growth that’s messy, building a life that actually fits you, and what happens when life doesn’t go to plan. We’ll talk mental health, motherhood, business, ADHD and how to stop being such an asshole to yourself. This podcast isn't for people with an alarm clock built into their brain, it's for the messy minds of the world. Because spoiler alert, you might know me for my organisation tips and tricks… but I’m actually a hot mess. So if you’re feeling behind, burnt out and like you’re barely holding it together, this is the place for you. New episodes drop every Monday morning. So set your reminder. Pop in your headphones. Because we’re Stephing Up together. ---- LINKS: Stephing Up on Instagram: @stephing.up Steph Pase on Instagram: @stephpase_ Steph Pase on Youtube: @stephpase.

7 Habits of People Who Never Seem to Get Overwhelmed

Nov 8, 2026 30 min

Do you know those people who move through life without ever seeming to be in a rush? They have full-time jobs, kids, a house, places to be... and somehow they never seem overwhelmed. As a hot mess myself, it got me thinking: what are they actually doing differently? I run a planning business and I've spent most of my adult life feeling like I'm running behind. For years I thought the answer was to get more organised, more disciplined, up earlier. But you can have a beautifully organised calendar and still feel completely overwhelmed by everything that's in it. So I looked into the psychology of overwhelm and found 7 habits that calm people share. This episode is for you if: Everyone else seems to have it together and you're constantly chasing your tail You tick off every single thing on your to-do list and still finish the day feeling like you achieved nothing You're exhausted on the days that, on paper, weren't even that busy You're constantly deciding you need a whole new routine, starting Monday The silly season is already coming at you like a freight train In this episode, you'll learn: The 7 habits of people who rarely get overwhelmed Why we're so wildly optimistic about what fits in a day (it's called the planning fallacy) and how to plan for your actual capacity Why you don't need to fill every spare minute, and what "time affluence" has to do with feeling rushed Why we've started confusing responsiveness with reliability How you can be a good friend, partner, sister or mother without being constantly available How a study on checking email three times a day changed how I tackle my inbox (and lowered my stress) Why having the time to do something isn't the same as having the capacity for it How to build a bare minimum version of your routines What a study of 53,000 people found about what time management is really for Why just because you could, doesn't mean you should And tell me: what's your "I'll just quickly..."? (Mine is Kmart. It has never once been...

Skin Cycling for Beginners: The 4-Night Routine That Halved My Skincare

Oct 11, 2026 31 min

This week's ep is my full skin cycling routine, what your skin barrier actually is, and why I now own half the products I used to. I'm not a dermatologist, I'm a 35-year-old with oily, acne-prone skin who has tried everything. And this is what worked for me. Your skin doesn't know the routine. I learned this the annoying way. I'd been skin cycling for years, my skin was the best it had ever been, and then I got excited and skipped a recovery night. Tingling. Tight. Red.

Time Goes Fast. Here’s How to Actually Slow it Down

Sep 27, 2026 22 min

I'm about to ruin your perception of time and likely your day. Hang in there, we'll still be friends at the end. I went looking for the facts about time because I've become a broken record. How are my kids this old? How is it already September? Where did the year go? I say some version of that most days. And at the same time (this is the uncomfortable bit) I'm trying to make almost every part of my actual life go faster. YouTube while I cook. Emails in the grocery queue. Podcasts on double speed. I even brush my teeth in a rush. Today I’m sharing what I learned. This is for you if: You say "how is it already September" and "where did the year go" more than once a week Your days blur together and you can't remember what you actually did on Tuesday You've been told to "just be present" and thought, okay, but HOW In this episode: Why time speeds up as you get older The two kinds of time: why a doctor's waiting room disappears and a weekend away feels huge Why life feels like a blur and what the research says about memory markers Living at double speed and what it's doing to us How to be more present without meditating: the 5 things I actually do Why it's okay for time to fly and the question that replaced "how do I slow it down" … Episode Links: Shop Journals: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/journals The 2027 Planner Collection is now live, and selling fast!

I Take Things Personally. Here’s What Actually Helps

Sep 20, 2026 32 min

I know everyone loves the Let Them Theory… but I actually think there’s one pretty big problem with telling people to simply “let them” and stop caring what other people think. It kind of asks us to fight against our own psychology. Humans are wired to care about belonging, rejection and what other people think of us. For most of human history, being accepted by the group wasn’t just nice — it was tied to survival. Which is probably why one weird comment can derail your entire day, someone seeming “off” sends you into a spiral, or criticism somehow becomes evidence that you’re a terrible person… hi. Same. For years, I thought the goal was to learn how to stop caring what people think. But the more I’ve looked into the psychology behind it, the more I’ve realised that advice like “just don’t care” can miss something pretty important: humans are literally wired to care about belonging. So maybe the goal isn’t becoming someone who doesn’t care. Maybe it’s becoming much more selective about whose opinions are allowed to carry weight. In this episode, we’re talking about: Why some of us take criticism, rejection and other people’s moods so personally The very old survival reason your brain cares so much about what other people think How negativity bias can make one negative comment louder than 100 positive ones Why telling yourself to “just stop caring” often doesn’t actually work The difference between receiving feedback and automatically turning it into a judgement about who you are Why disagreement doesn’t necessarily mean rejection The problem with giving people who barely know you the same voting rights as the people who actually do The simple filter I now use before deciding whether someone’s opinion deserves my energy The “mailbox” idea that completely changed how I think about criticism How to let something sting without letting it become your truth And towards the end, I’ll give you the questions I now ask myself when a comment gets under my skin — becau...

Everyday Makeup Cheat Codes: 10 Tricks From a Former Makeup Artist

Before planners and podcasting, I was a wedding makeup artist. I did hundreds of faces, and these are 10 things I’d want you to know to get more out of your everyday makeup, without replacing your entire makeup bag. This is for you if: You want to elevate your everyday makeup look without spending money You learnt makeup from a Maybelline mousse pot and a lot of guessing, and no one's ever actually shown you You've got a drawer full of products and your foundation still somehow ends up pink, grey, or in your hairline You're 30-plus and your face looks tired in a way it didn't used to, and you want an instant lift Stay til the end for the biggest hack that will save you time and tears Follow Stephing Up I'm Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

My Actual Health Routine... How I Train, What I Eat + How I Stay Consistent

Sep 6, 2026 37 min

Last week I shared my whole health journey (the 25 kilo one, if you missed it... it's a doozy). This week’s episode is the part everyone actually asked for: the current routine. What I train, what I eat, and how it sticks... with the reminder that this is what works for ME. It's not a cookie cutter program. Take what fits your life and your brain, then leave the rest. This is for you if: You've restarted the same routine so many times you've stopped telling people it's a restart You joined a gym in a burst of confidence and now you can't make yourself walk in You're doing everything "right" (the HIIT, the 10K steps, the tiny meals) and feeling worse instead of better In this episode: What changed in the last six months and why the scales went in the bin My exact training split and the rest-period mistake that stalls your strength What I eat in a day How to stay consistent with ADHD and why the gym became my source of peace Alcohol, honestly and the book that finally unhooked it Gym anxiety and permission to be a beginner Where to start after years off the ridiculously-small-first-goal method … Episode Links: Slow-cooked Mexican Beef: watch me make it at https://www.instagram.com/reels/DQBs-k8kgH2/ Shop Health Journals: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/health-diaries The 2027 Planner Collection is now live, and selling fast!

My Health & Fitness Journey: I Gained 25kg, Lost It All, and Finally Found Balance

Aug 30, 2026 46 min

Spring starts this week, which means the annual panic is about to begin. And I've had a run of questions lately about my gym routine. What I eat, how I train, how I actually stay consistent. That episode is coming next Monday. This week you're getting the part that makes it make sense. Because it's so easy to look at someone now and assume they've always been this way. Naturally disciplined. A morning person. Someone who genuinely enjoys a vegetable. I was none of those things. There was a period where the only liquids I drank were Coke or beer. Maccas for breakfast, pub lunch every single day, and I put on 25 kilos in twelve months. By the end of this you'll understand why every health kick you've ever started fell over around week three, and why it had nothing to do with discipline. This is for you if: You've started again on a Monday more times than you can count You've hit a goal weight before and somehow felt worse, not better You're waiting to feel motivated enough to begin You've decided everyone else was just born with more willpower than you In this episode I get into: How I gained 25kg in a year, what my life actually looked like, and the moment that stopped me Losing all of it, and the habits I quietly swapped it for on the way down Getting the abs, hitting the goal weight, and being more miserable than I'd ever been The breaking point where I worked out none of it was worth it What it actually took to make this a lifestyle instead of a punishment I kept restarting Next Monday: Part 2, the actual routine. What I do now, what I eat, and how it stays consistent. Support: this episode discusses disordered eating.

How to Actually Stick to a Planner (From Someone Who Couldn’t)

Aug 23, 2026 12 min

If you’ve made it here, you’ve probably tried about 14 planners before this, and you’re wondering if this is the year one will actually stick. Funnily enough, as the owner of a planner brand, I can relate. I spent a lifetime failing at planning. And that’s why I finally designed to create one that worked with my brain, not against it. This is for you if: You've got a beautiful planner in a drawer with eleven months of blank pages behind a very good January You keep waiting for a Monday, or a first-of-the-month, or a new year to start You've decided you're just not a planner person, and you'd quite like to be wrong about that In this episode I break down: Why you actually stopped using your planner: it isn't forgetting, it's avoidance, and where the shame comes from Be messy in it: why being scared to write in your planner defeats the entire point Don't wait until Monday: starting mid-week, using blank days as brain dumps, and using motivation the moment it shows up Habit stacking for planning: attaching your planner to breakfast, the school run, or anything you already do daily Two daily check-ins: two minutes morning and night, and why a closed planner is an invisible planner Top three and quick three: how to halve your to-do list, plus the time log that stops you underestimating tasks A type A brain in a type B body: the mismatch that made twenty years of planners fail … The Steph Pase 2027 Planner Collection goes live this week!

What if getting organised has less to do with discipline and more to do with making fewer decisions? If your brain feels like it has 47 tabs open at all times, you keep running out of toilet paper, and you’re still doing everything manually, this episode is for you. Steph breaks down the systems and shortcuts she uses to make life run more smoothly. Because the goal isn't to become more productive. It's to free up your brain from all those tiny things you constantly have to remember. In this episode: How to automate household essentials and subscriptions Setting up automatic bank transfers and savings accounts Creating a stash of cards, gifts and wrapping supplies for last-minute occasions Using iPhone Shortcuts to automate everyday tasks Smart lights and automating family bedtime routines Scheduling your robot vacuum Creating pre-set grocery lists in Woolworths and Coles Saving money with Everyday Rewards and ShopBack How Steph uses AI to reduce her mental load Why systems, not discipline, are the secret to feeling more organised … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

Is Your Self-Talk Sabotaging You?

Aug 9, 2026 35 min

This week we're diving into one of the biggest things that can hold us back from becoming the person we want to be... our own self-talk. I've picked out some of my favourite moments from past episodes. Whether it's unrealistic expectations, fear of failure, or simply getting stuck in the same negative thought patterns, sometimes the voice that's sabotaging us the most is the one inside our own head. In this episode I share: Are you an a*****e to yourself? A reality check. Have you ever stopped to think about whether you're actually being way too hard on yourself? Let’s get over your fear of failing together: How unrealistic expectations and negative self-talk can quietly creep into our everyday lives.

My Top 5 ADHD-Friendly Home Organisation Hacks

Jul 26, 2026 27 min

I hate housework. I'm an absolute mess by nature, and I have been my entire life. The only reason my house functions is that somewhere along the way I stopped trying to fix myself and started building the house around the person I actually am. Because everyone thinks organised people are disciplined. I'm not organised because I'm disciplined. I'm organised because I know exactly how useless I am at the tired end of the day... and I plan for her. These are my actual top five home organisation hacks after ten years of being the organisation girl online. Every tip is Kmart-level cheap, fast to set up, and has survived two kids and an ADHD brain. This episode is for you if: You're convinced you just need "more discipline" and then your house will finally stay tidy The floordrobe, the paper pile and the mystery fridge leftovers are all personally attacking you You want systems that survive kids, work and an ADHD brain... not a Pinterest pantry In this episode I break down: The wear-again hook: end the floordrobe with a two-second home for worn-but-not-dirty clothes Family documents organisation: the viral suspension file box (passports, birth certificates, insurance... one findable spot) Kids artwork storage: one file per year per kid + the guilt-free artwork cull The catch-all basket system: one per person + our BBB rule (bedrooms, bathrooms, basket) Caddies for everything: morning, night, tan, makeup + the kids' hair caddy going 8 years strong The ‘Use Me First’ fridge shelf: the food waste hack worth ~$1,500 a year The 3 Doable Home rules: decide once · one motion · in sight or it doesn't exist … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

The Mid-Year Reset for Messy Minds: Life Audit, Goals Check-in + My 3-Day Itinerary

Jul 19, 2026 33 min

The mid-year reset for messy minds: a doable life audit, goals check-in + my 3-day reset plan. Potato day included. It's July. I don't know how that happened either, and I'd like to lodge a formal complaint. I've been doing this reset for years, and the messy-minds version is deliberately simple. Because if you're anything like me (ADHD, seventeen tabs open in my brain, big plans in January), you've probably tried one of those intense mid-year overhauls before. You do step one and then you bail. This one is different. You can do the whole thing listening to the podcast in the car. This is for you if: It's somehow July and you can't point at what the first six months even were Your January goals are sitting in a notes app, quietly judging you Every mid-year reset you've tried was so intense you did step one and bailed In this episode: Mid-year review questions: the 7 questions I journal every July (including the one that stings... how much fun did you have?) Life audit made easy: 6 areas rated 1 to 5 — no wheel of life, no colouring in Start / Stop / Step / Stick With: the habits audit that actually changes something Goals check-in: the sunk cost fallacy + why your brain keeps you "safe" from your own goals The 3-day reset to book this month: mini reset day, get-shit-done day, potato day Routine rebuild: the bookends rule + the high-energy / low-energy versions … Episode links: Download your Reset workbook: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/blogs/news/stephing-up-podcast-is-back Hear the 3-day Reset Itinerary in S2, Ep1, Master Your Mess In 3 Days: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/im-back-master-your-mess-in-3-days/id1713434054?i=1000755432196 Hear the Routine Review in S2, Ep 6: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/when-you-dont-even-recognise-yourself-how-i-got-my-spark-back/id1713434054?i=1000762279899 … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

Stop Asking What's Causing Your Acne (Ask This Instead)

Jul 12, 2026 35 min

Your acne isn't a mystery or a moral failing. It's a stack of small fixable things. Stop asking what's causing it... ask what you changed. I've struggled with adult acne for a decade. Deep, cystic, painful acne all over my cheeks and jaw. The kind you can't cover, because you can hide the redness but you can't hide the texture. I'd avoid certain lighting. Some mornings I'd go to put my makeup on and it hurt so much I'd just cry. I've spent thousands trying to fix it. Skin clinics, facials, peels, antibiotics, Roaccutane, expensive skincare, cheap skincare. If someone promised me clear skin, I tried it. And a few weeks ago I woke up, looked in the mirror, and went: hell no. Not this again. But this time I knew what to look for. And the fix was so simple I couldn't believe it. This week's episode is everything I wish I'd known years ago. The biggest shift was realising adult acne is almost never one thing... it's a stack of small things pouring gasoline on the fire. So now, instead of asking "what's causing my acne," I ask: "what have I changed?" This is for you if: You've tried everything for your adult acne and it still keeps coming back You're sick of "just drink more water" advice You want the real, unsexy stuff that actually clears skin In this episode: Adult acne is a stacking problem: ask "what have I changed?" not "what's causing it?" Pore-clogging ingredients hiding in your skincare, haircare, and washing powder Skin barrier damage: why burning your acne off makes it worse Blood sugar and hormonal acne: the breakfast mistake that broke me out My simple skincare routine and the one thing to start with today … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

My Mess Was the Map: The Business Story I've Never Told Properly

Jul 5, 2026 42 min

Nobody knows what they’re doing, and that’s the good news. This is the story of how I started a business backwards. I launched Steph Pase Planners from a camp table with postnatal depression and no business plan. If you'd told seven-year-old me, the one sewing Pokemon toys out of old bed sheets and selling them on the street, that she'd one day run a stationery brand, she'd have believed you (she had range). If you'd told twenty-five-year-old me, sitting in a one-bedroom unit covered in breast milk with postnatal depression, she'd have laughed in your face. This is the story of how it actually happened. Not the highlights reel. The real one. This episode is for you if: You've ever had an idea but talked yourself out of it because you "didn't know how" You're the multi-passionate one who's been called a jack of all trades like it's an insult You're tired of business stories that skip the embarrassing, 3am, crying-over-spilt-ink bits In this episode I break down: Starting a business with no experience: why nobody, not even the founders you look up to, knows what they're doing Doing it scared: how you achieve things by doing, not planning Postnatal depression and the lounge-room blog that became Steph Pase Planners The camp table, 10,000 planners, and 3am shipping labels printed one by one ADHD, being a jack of all trades, and why the multi-passionate messes are winning now Why the mess Steph spent her life hiding turned out to be the map … Episode Links: Shop Business Planners: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/financial-year-business-planners Shop Steph’s book “Mastering my Messy Life”: Penguin Books Australia … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

Jun 14, 2026 40 min

I thought meditation would fix me. Instead, I put my phone on silent for six years. Here's the truth: I am not the girl who lights a candle, sits cross-legged on a linen cushion and meditates her way to inner peace. I've tried.

Healthy Hacks: How I Finally Stopped Starting Over Every Monday

Jun 7, 2026 43 min

We’ve been sold the same message for years: start Monday, go all in, be perfect, and somehow transform your life in eight weeks. But what if that's exactly what's keeping us stuck? I’m here to tell you, I’ve done (and seen) some things. My own health journey has been vast. From beer and noodle box for breakfast, to bodybuilding extremes, and everything in between. I’ve finally found a balanced approach that actually lasts, and now I’m here to share the lessons I wish I had learned years earlier. In this episode, I share the health and fitness mindset shifts that completely changed my relationship with food, exercise, and my body. This isn't another episode about losing weight or chasing the "perfect" body. It's about creating habits that actually fit your life, breaking free from all-or-nothing thinking, and feeling better in your own skin without the guilt, shame, or impossible expectations. In this episode: Why the all-or-nothing mindset is sabotaging your progress The identity shift that makes healthy habits easier to stick to How to stop waiting for the "perfect" time to start Simple hacks for drinking more water and eating better The power of meal planning without overcomplicating it Why consistency beats perfection every single time My personal journey from unhealthy habits to bodybuilding and back to balance If you've ever started a health kick on a Monday, fallen off track, and felt like you've failed, this episode is your reminder that one imperfect choice doesn't ruin everything—and that lasting change is often much simpler than we make it. Because life isn't an eight-week challenge. It's the habits you can keep doing long after the motivation wears off. … Episode Links: S1 Episode: Gaining 25kg, Losing it all (and myself) and what it took to Find Balance Shop Meal Planner Magnets: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planner-magnets … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

The Exact Weekly Planning System That Keeps My Life Together

May 24, 2026 28 min

If you've ever bought a planner and you just can't seem to stick to it. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, constantly behind, or like everyone else somehow got the instruction manual for life except you — this episode is for you. One of my most asked questions is ‘Steph, how do you do it all? How do you plan your week? How do you have everything running so smoothly?’ From the outside, it looks like everything does run smoothly. But to be honest, it hasn’t been easy. I've had to go through trial and error to create the systems that work, because in reality I’m a hot mess, and the way my brain works is very different. In this episode I share: I’m breaking down the exact planning system that keeps my life, business, kids, and chaotic brain functioning without completely falling apart. I talk brain dumps, priority blindness, Google Calendar hacks, the “top three + quick three” method, meal planning, habit tracking, and why your planner should work with your brain, not against it. I’ll also share how I use AI and automation to save hours every week (including the AI assistant I built called Dobby), why your nightly “handover document” might change your life, and the reason most planners fail people with messy minds. Because getting organised isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about building systems that make life feel lighter. … Episode Links: Submit your Hot Mess Hotline question here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUnWTcPntVMCQrdu2wSFqFHEnQkggznr_23Ux9zDBNvlh78g/viewform?usp=publish-editor Shop 2026 Planners: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planners Shop Planner Stickers: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/sticker-packs Shop Magnet Planners: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planner-magnets Shop Highlighters: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/magnetic-markers/products/pastel-highlighter-pack Steph’s Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com.au/shop/justanothermummyblog/list/17...

Meal Prep Tips For People Who Hate Meal Prep

May 17, 2026 26 min

The reason your meal prep keeps failing isn't because you're not disciplined. It's because you're copying systems built for people who like cooking. If that's not you, those systems will never work. You know the spiral. You're on Pinterest, you find recipes that look amazing, you go and spend hundreds of dollars on groceries (including six herbs you've never heard of), and by week three you're hating life and the kitchen is a war zone. Week one you were motivated. Week two you were okay. Week three you've given up. You know what hasn't given up? The weird herbs. They're still in your pantry. They will outlive us all. In this episode I share: The 10-meal rotation: the framework that fixed my dinners forever ("we like what we like" beats Pinterest every time) Theme nights and the science of pre-set decision frames The meal plan is a guide, not a contract: how to swap meals without falling off the wagon Component prep, not full meal prep The viral lunch bag I designed at the SPP warehouse The Woolies online list hack that saves me 30 minutes a week Decide what's for dinner at 9am, not 5pm: the rule that ended my 5pm panic forever BONUS: The Grab-and-Go Tub — pantry snacks the kids choose from … Episode Links: Shop the Luxe Lunch Bag: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/luxe-lunch-bags Shop the Shopping List Notepad: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/products/new-shopping-list Shop Magnet Planners: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planner-magnets Steph’s Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com.au/shop/justanothermummyblog/list/17TTU785IMM53 … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

Morning Me Cannot Be Trusted: Six Things I Do the Night Before

May 10, 2026 30 min

Have you ever stood in the kitchen at 7:14am holding two odd shoes and a half-made sandwich, wondering whether it's Wednesday or Thursday? It’s no secret that I’m a hot mess. And mornings (and the 35,000 micro decisions we need to make by 9am) are always extra messy. So if you've ever been late to the meeting that mattered because morning-you wrote the wrong start time in your head, or your screen time number scares the shit out of you, or you've already snapped at someone you love before the day has even started, this one is for you. The secret? Stop trying to fix your morning. Fix your night. In this episode I share the six night-before rituals I follow, because morning me cannot be trusted. The handover document, the launchpad, and the toast I refuse to make. In this episode: - The day I was an hour late to the Steph Pase Planners Zoom that broke me — and the rules I made because of it - 35,000 micro decisions by 9am: the science behind why your brain is exhausted before you've even started the day - Ritual 1: Outfit prep with the labelled hangers (and the 6pm weather check) - Ritual 2: Lunches 80% prepped (the alternative is the KFC drive-through, ask me how I know) - Ritual 3: The launchpad + the life pouch (which was originally an SPP tech pouch I made) - Ritual 4: Same brekkie every single day (overnight protein Whip-Bix because I hate toast) - Ritual 5: The brain dump → handover document for your future self - Ritual 6: The 15-minute increment alarm hack (and why "shaping" in psychology beats willpower) - The two-step rule (pulled from S2E7): if it takes more than 2 steps, redesign it … Episode Links: Shop the Life & Tech Organiser Pouch: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/tech-organiser-pouches Steph’s Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com.au/shop/justanothermummyblog/list/17TTU785IMM53 … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

Mummy, Can You Put Your Phone Down?

May 3, 2026 26 min

"Mummy, can you put your phone down?" I’m taking you back to the day my 6-year-old shamed me with one sentence... and these phone and tech rules I made because of it. I know we can all relate to the struggle of succumbing to our devices. Hey, I love a good scroll, but when a kid says that to you, it hits you hard. Honestly, I have no control when it comes to technology. It felt like my phone was ruining my life, my attention span, and my mental health. Until this wake-up call. In this episode, I share the science behind why your phone is winning, and the 6 rules I created to help manage my own phone use. And the best bit: none of these rules require willpower..it comes down to our brain and the science behind it. This episode is for you if: You picked up your phone to do ONE thing and 4 hours later you're deep in your brand new hyperfocus of a 15-step haircare routine on TikTok (not speaking from experience or anything) Someone you love — your kid, your partner, your mum, your bestie — has asked you to put your phone down and you felt the gut-punch Your daily screen time number is genuinely offensive and you're sick of feeling like a piece of shit about it You have ADHD (or just a brain) and you've tried "more discipline" and shockingly it didn't work You want to stop scrolling at 1am but just one more...

So instead of trying to “be better” or “get more disciplined”…what if you just made life easier? In this episode, I’m walking you through the 8 weird (but wildly effective) systems I use daily to reduce overwhelm, stop forgetting everything, and actually function like a normal human. From the “sock theory” to the “life pouch”… these are the small tweaks that remove friction and make your life work with your brain—not against it. What you’ll learn: Why your brain struggles to keep up (and why it’s not your fault) How to reduce decision fatigue in your everyday life Why “simple systems” are more powerful than motivation How to work with your brain instead of constantly fighting it Here’s what I break down in this episode: Weekly Brain Dump Get everything out of your head and onto paper (aka cognitive offloading) The One-Type-of-Sock Rule Eliminate unnecessary decisions (yes, socks matter more than you think) Planner Always Open + Visible Out of sight = out of mind (so don’t let it disappear) Alarms for Starting (Not Just Leaving) Stop being late by planning for getting ready, not just the event The Launch Pad A designated space for everything you need the next day The “Life Pouch” One small bag with all your essentials—no more losing everything The 2-Step Rule If it takes more than two steps… redesign it Closing Shift Routine Reset your home each night so future you isn’t overwhelmed … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

Apr 19, 2026 37 min

You don’t just wake up one day burnt out.You don’t suddenly lose your spark. It happens slowly. Quietly. While you’re still showing up… still getting things done… still functioning.

In this episode I share: The moment I realised I’d lost my spark—and the subtle, high-functioning burnout that got me there.

Weird Things I Do to Keep a Cleanish House

Apr 5, 2026 36 min

You're not bad at cleaning. You just don't have the systems. When I was a kid, my room was so messy my mother hung a dolphin shower curtain across my shelves to hide it. Like, a full shower curtain. With blue dolphins on it. On brand for me at the time. And it worked great until the mess behind it got so big the curtain couldn't hold it anymore. I always thought I was incompetent. Turns out I just didn't have the systems. Here's how I tricked my ADHD brain into keeping a cleanish house. This episode is for you if: You've rewashed the same load three times because it smells like regret Your kitchen bench regenerates clutter faster than you can clear it You've genuinely considered moving house instead of cleaning the one you have In this episode I share: Why cleaning feels so hard (it's decision fatigue, not laziness) Theme days: the alliteration brain hack The cleaning playlist that tricks your brain Catch-all baskets: batching the mess The five-minute rule and why momentum builds dopamine AM/PM resets: putting the house to bed … Your Messy Life Reset: Now that you’re clear on how to work with your brain (and not against it)... go back and complete your Messy Life Reset.

Your Brain is a Goal-Blocker. How to get out of your own way.

Mar 29, 2026 30 min

Have you ever noticed that starting new habits can feel like pulling teeth? You’ve set your goal. You want it with every fiber of your being… yet you're still met with so much resistance. You have every intention of going to bed early, but suddenly it's three o'clock in the morning and you're doing a ‘Which kitchen appliance am I’ quiz? Turns out, there is a good reason for that. (And I’m a toaster, thanks for asking). Our brains see new habits as a threat because it doesn't know what's going to happen. Read that again. Your brain wants you to stay with what's familiar because it knows the outcome. And when it can predict the outcome, it feels safe. Your brain relies on knowing exactly what's going to happen, so it continues to pull you back to what it knows. So even if an existing habit is bad for you, like scrolling, overeating, staying in a job you hate or avoiding hard conversations, your brain thinks, “Well, I know how this ends and we survived it last time, so let's just do that again.” And it replays over and over again. Even if those habits make you unhappy. Even if they make you unhealthy. And even if they're keeping you stuck. In this episode, I’m sharing all the things I WISH we were taught back in school, including: The science behind why changing your habits is so hard. The truth about lazy brains… and the autopilot trap. The healthy habits cheatcode: Four steps you can take to ‘trick’ your brain into accepting a new habit. Why you should finally stop comparing yourself to others. … Your Messy Life Reset: Now that you’re clear on how to work with your brain (and not against it)... go back and complete your Messy Life Reset. I’ll walk you through it step-by-step in Season 2, episodes 1 and 2.

Are You an A*****e to Yourself?

Jun 16, 2024 29 min

I had a conversation with a friend recently where I mentioned all of the things I wanted to get done by the end of the day. I wanted to record a podcast, finish off an old project and start on a new one, edit the week's content, and take the girls to the park. Within two hours because that seemed reasonable. When I say the silence was LOUD. My friend just stared at me before she said “You want to do two full days of work in two hours.” I didn’t even realise, and yet I would have been angry with myself if I hadn’t gotten all that work done. Today’s episode is all about the expectations that we put on ourselves, and how to move past the negative self-talk. I’ve even created a checklist so that you can see where you sit on the a-hole scale. This episode is for you if you: ✨ Feel guilty for having “free time” ✨ Never manage to complete your to-do list ✨ Don’t allow yourself to make mistakes ✨ Focus on what you didn’t achieve rather than everything you have accomplished … and so much more Check out my Reset Roadmap episode on goal setting to download the framework that will change your life. ☎️ Feeling like a hot mess?
