The Mid-Year Reset for Messy Minds: Life Audit, Goals Check-in + My 3-Day Itinerary
The Mid-Year Reset for Messy Minds: Life Audit, Goals Check-in + My 3-Day Itinerary Jul 19, 2026 2017 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'
Stop Asking What's Causing Your Acne (Ask This Instead)
Stop Asking What's Causing Your Acne (Ask This Instead) Jul 12, 2026 2146 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 a
My Mess Was the Map: The Business Story I've Never Told Properly
My Mess Was the Map: The Business Story I've Never Told Properly Jul 5, 2026 2524 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
Do the Hard Thing First: Why You're Not Lazy, You're Avoiding a Feeling
Do the Hard Thing First: Why You're Not Lazy, You're Avoiding a Feeling Jun 28, 2026 1644 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

The Doable Glow Up: 10 Realistic Changes (No 5am Alarm) Jun 21, 2026 1998 A realistic, doable glow up with no 4am alarm and no 14-step routine? Welcome to my 10 sustainable changes to come home to yourself (created by a mid 30s Mum who lost herself for a minute).   This episode is for you if:   - You've started a glow up every Monday and quit by Wednesday (it's not you, it's the plan) - You've disappeared so far into motherhood/work that you caught your reflec
Weird Things I Do For My Mental Health (That You Won't Hear In Therapy)
Weird Things I Do For My Mental Health (That You Won't Hear In Therapy) Jun 14, 2026 2417 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 syst
Healthy Hacks: How I Finally Stopped Starting Over Every Monday
Healthy Hacks: How I Finally Stopped Starting Over Every Monday Jun 7, 2026 2600 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’v
How To Switch Off When You Already Feel Like You're Drowning
How To Switch Off When You Already Feel Like You're Drowning May 31, 2026 2326 I thought rest was something you earned. It turned out I was wrong. Here it is … We're talking about the brutal truths I had to admit to myself, the 7 different types of rest, why scrolling isn't actually rest, and the simple mindset shifts that finally helped me stop feeling guilty every time I sat down.  This is part 2 of a two-parter - Episode 11 on weekly planning is the practical
The Exact Weekly Planning System That Keeps My Life Together
The Exact Weekly Planning System That Keeps My Life Together May 24, 2026 1737 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?’ F
Meal Prep Tips For People Who Hate Meal Prep
Meal Prep Tips For People Who Hate Meal Prep May 17, 2026 1584 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 hat
Morning Me Cannot Be Trusted: Six Things I Do the Night Before
Morning Me Cannot Be Trusted: Six Things I Do the Night Before May 10, 2026 1837 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 he
Mummy, Can You Put Your Phone Down?
Mummy, Can You Put Your Phone Down? May 3, 2026 1608 "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 l
