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.

Adulting Hacks Nobody Told Me: iPhone Tricks,...

2026/10/04

Adulting hacks nobody told me: iPhone settings you're not using, unclaimed money in Australia, free IKEA parts + more. These are the 17 things I found, across tech, life admin and money. Some of them you'll know. A lot of people won't. There's all these things we just assume everyone knows about... and they don't. This is for you if: You're paying for an app your phone already does You hate life admin with a passion, but you'd quite like any money that's sitting there with your name on it You've

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

Stephing Up ·

2026/09/27

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

I Take Things Personally. Here’s What Actually Helps

Stephing Up ·

2026/09/20

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

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

2026/09/13

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,

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

Stephing Up ·

2026/09/06

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

My Health & Fitness Journey: I Gained 25kg, Lost It...

Stephing Up ·

2026/08/30

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

2026/08/23

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

2026/08/16

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

Is Your Self-Talk Sabotaging You?

Stephing Up ·

2026/08/09

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 asshole to yourself? A reality check. Have you ever stopped to

2026/08/02

Decluttering sounds simple—until you’re standing in front of a bursting wardrobe or a drawer you can’t open without something falling out. Then the overwhelm hits, it all feels too hard, and you just… give up. The biggest mistake people make is trying to decluttereverything at once, without a system or clear decision-making rules. In this best-of episode I’m revisiting three of your favourite Stephing Up episodes, packed with simple decluttering strategies you can

My Top 5 ADHD-Friendly Home Organisation Hacks

Stephing Up ·

2026/07/26

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

The Mid-Year Reset for Messy Minds: Life Audit, Goals...

2026/07/19

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

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

Stephing Up ·

2026/07/12

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,

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

Do the hard thing first: why you're not lazy, you're avoiding a feeling. The hardest part of any task isn't the middle. It's the start. That's the wall. I’m a chronic task avoider, and in this episode I’m sharing my tried and tested ADHD guide to beating procrastination and the avoidance loop. This episode is for you if: You'll dread one tiny email and somehow clean the whole house to avoid it You've called yourself lazy your whole life despite having a full, busy, can't-sit-still life

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. Instead, I spent years wondering why every wellness routine on the internet seemed to work for everyone except me. The good news? Nothing was wrong with me. My nervous system was just overloaded.

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?

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
