    I Take Things Personally. Here’s What Actually Helps

    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 — because I’m probably never going to become someone who magically doesn’t care what anyone thinks. But I can stop handing everyone a vote on who I am. 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

    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

    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. If you or someone you love needs support, Butterfly Foundation is at butterfly.org.au or 1800 33 4673, and Lifeline is 13 11 14.   The Steph Pase 2027 Planner Collection is live now. Blush, Blush + Black, Berry and Blue, across Signature, Daily, Business, Teacher and Pocket. Shop it at https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au   If this one hits, there's a lot more of this story in my book, Mastering My Messy Life. The parts I wasn't ready to say out loud on a podcast in 2023 are in there.

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

    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!

    Is Your Self-Talk Sabotaging You?

    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.

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. Can your thoughts really change your life: Exploring the connection between our thoughts, our habits and the stories we tell ourselves every single day. … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.
