Three months in, and your goals failed? Good. Here's what to do instead.

This is Part 2 of the Messy Life Reset. Trust me, this is the perfect time... after the "new year motivation" has well and truly worn off.

But first... listen to Episode 1, Master Your Mess in 3 Days, for part one of your reset!

Grab your FREE Messy Life Reset Workbook:  click here

This reset is for you if:

• You’ve ever felt that everyone got a manual for life, and yours is from Temu and it smells funny. (Same)
• It’s the beginning of the year but you’re already feeling behind, burnt out and like you’re barely holding it together.
• You’re trying to stick to a routine that’s not achievable or realistic (hello guilt).

In this episode:

• My guide for messy minds to reset for the year ahead
• Why your "best self" is actually perfectionism in disguise (and what to chase instead)
• The reflection exercise that made me nearly cry on mic... three mirrors, three versions of yourself
• The one-question filter that exposes which goals are actually yours
• The three non-negotiable days that I want you to schedule into your planner to help you reset and get back on track.
• What to do when a goal stops fitting... and the 5 signs it was never yours to begin with
• Plot Points: a smarter way to plan your year (mine are meal prep and guitar. That's the whole list.)

Hey… it’s Steph. Your (somewhat) organised best friend in your ears.
And after 18 months away, I’m finally back with a new season of Stephing Up.

I took a break. I lived some life. I learned a LOT. (Spoiler alert, I wrote a book!) And now? I’m back to share the stories and lessons I couldn’t have shared back then.

I am SO excited to be back, and I’m jumping straight in with a mini reset series. And trust me this is the perfect time to be doing this, after the new year motivation has well and truly worn off.

Our brain is fighting for its life out here. 

Working from home has so many positives - like being able to look after your kid and run errands through the day (why are post offices only open during work hours?!). But if we aren’t looking after ourselves, our space and our minds then it can be really hard to set AND maintain boundaries.

On today’s episode, I’m chatting all about the things I do when I work from home in order to stay as productive and focused as possible, but more importantly, how I switch off my work brain and allow myself to actually relax at the end of the day. It’s one thing to say “Just stop working at 5 pm” but what steps do you need to put in place to make sure you follow it?

You’ll hear:

✨ Why you might be working all day but still feel like you haven’t gotten anything done

✨ How to hack your brain to get into your flow state faster

✨ The time of day that is the MOST productive for you to be working

✨ Ways to set up your space so that you actually want to be in your office

✨ The weekly schedule I follow to make sure I stay focused on each task

… and so much more

I received a question from a listener the other day and it was: how to get out of your head and start something new when you are afraid of failure?

And this question really called out to me because I’ve been there so many times and I’ve learnt to take the leap. 

So today’s episode is a little pep talk, where I’m sitting down and having a chat with you about how I got over my fear of failing, why I am super selective about who I ask for advice from, and the truth about what the risks I’ve taken over the last few years.

This episode is for you if:

✨There’s something you want to do but are terrified of what others might think

✨ You’re tired of letting fear dictate your decisions

✨Need a pep talk to start your week

This episode is going to call out a fair few people - myself included.

If you’ve ever struggled with sticking to the routines you set for yourself, you’re not alone. I’ve battled with this most of my life… but now I’ve gone from being that flaky gym friend (I know, I’m sorry 😭) but now, I’ve been working out almost every day for the past decade.

I also figured out how to adapt my routines to my moods so I can go after my goals without burning out.

So how did I do it?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my secrets to help you stick to your goals and routines, so you can become the best version of yourself!

You’ll hear:

✨ The science behind why it’s so hard to keep the promises we make to ourselves

✨ How to create flexible routines that work no matter your mood

✨ Small steps to building self-trust so that you can conquer anything

… and so much more

Have you been considering ADHD medication but want to know more about what it’s like?

Ever since I released my episode about what it’s like to live with ADHD (and the quirks I didn’t realise weren’t just my personality!), you guys have been asking for an episode about my experience with ADHD medication. 

So here it is.

Medication is not for everyone, and I know the thought of being on medication can be really scary. So in this episode, I’m talking to you about my experience with 3x different types of ADHD medication, which ones I decided weren’t for me, and why I got so emotional the first time I took the tablet. 

You’ll hear:

✨My experiences with ADHD meds Ritalin, Vyvanse and Dexamphetamine

✨What happened when I went off my meds for the first time in 8 months…

✨ My fears about becoming a robot and having no emotion

✨The side effects I experienced that made me stop ASAP

… and so much more

If you haven’t listened to my first episode about my experience with ADHD: the good, the bad and the chaotic then make sure to queue it up next! Listen on Apple or Spotify.
