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.

3 Things to Do When You’re Having a Bad Day

I was having a bad day when I recorded this episode. You know those mornings when the world feels against you?

We’re not perfect and sometimes we need to remember that it’s not a bad life,...

The Wake-Up Call You NEED to Hear

The other day I was on Instagram and I saw a post that called me out so badly I started crying after reading the first line.

I’m not going to give too much away before you listen but it’s a reminder that I think all of us need to hear now more th...

The Hot Mess Hotline: Getting Out of a Slump TOGETHER

Mercury is in retrograde and I swear I knew it before I even googled it. Everyone and their mum is caught up in this collective slump right now and we’re all just in this weird headspace. We’re dealing with too much stuff, not feeling motivated, eating badly and feeling tired.
