So I’ve been hiding a secret. A big one… I WROTE A BOOK!!! 🥹

Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I’d write a book someday. I was always either getting lost in worlds or worries, long before I had any idea what this book I dreamt of would become…
And now? Here it is.

Mastering My Messy Life is not just another memoir… it’s a human one. Written mid-mess, mid-figuring it out. Where I share the things I never have online (as an oversharer, that’s saying something).

From a chaotic childhood shaped by trauma, binge drinking, disordered eating, heartbreak, ADHD, anxiety… through the tangled mess of 90s girlhood, body image, motherhood, grief and being a multi-passionate mess told to ‘just pick one thing’. To rebuilding not only myself but my empire… piece by piece. If you knew my story and the fact people come to ME for organisation advice and planners you’d laugh or seek professional help 😅

But here is the story behind the captions, the things I’ve never said out loud. The mess that made me who I am today and the unlikely paths that led me here.

This is a love letter to every woman who has ever felt like she was too much, or not enough, or somehow both at once.

This isn’t a ‘how I got my act together’ story.
It’s a ‘how I turned my mess into magic’ story… tangents, swear words and dark humour guaranteed.

This is for the people who have always felt separate,
that everyone else received a map except them.
And for the people who feel as though the world spins too fast and you just can’t keep up.

Writing this book ripped me wide open, and made me return to chapters of my life I’d rather forget and parts of myself I didn’t know if I wanted to see again. But it’s also been one giant exhale. After years of people-pleasing. Of shrinking. Of rushing through my life, thinking I would be worthy if I just did this one more thing. I’m here to show you it doesn’t work like that. You can tap out and do life on your terms.

My book is available for PRESALE NOW! And officially hits the shelves 4th November…Oh and did I mention it’s being published by PENGUIN 😭🥹❤️

Thank you to my community. This is for you.

Love, Steph the Mess by @stephpase_

FINALLY sharing my exact skincare routine…and the science to back it up 👏 I’ve had acne since I was 21 and I’m turning 36 this month. So yes, I’m now dealing with breakouts AND aging. At the same time. Love that for me.

But what if I told you my routine targets both without ruining my skin barrier?

I’m not a dermatologist. But I do have qualifications:

✔️ 15 years of acne
✔️ Tried every product, supplement and routine under the sun
✔️ An embarrassing amount of hours researching skin out of pure desperation
✔️ Years of skin cycling

And it’s the only thing that’s actually worked. Fewer breakouts, calmer texture, and I now own half the products I used to. Best my skin has ever been.

So if you’re standing in Mecca wondering which bloody viral serum you need, how to layer it and why your face is suddenly stinging… this ep’s for you💁‍♀️

Comment PODCAST and I’ll DM you the full routine (which also has all the links to the things I use in the show notes 💁‍♀️🎧 by @stephpase_

My consistency with healthy eating didn’t come from motivation. It came from doing shit that’s easy 💁‍♀️

I bank on having a bad, busy day every day and plan around that. Which means easy meals I can pull off on 2 hours sleep and smack-bang in the middle of my luteal phase 💀

Because when it’s easy, it happens whether I have a good day or not. But when we plan these 15-step dinners in the pursuit of a healthier lifestyle, I’m sorry, but you’re banking on being able to pull that off every single day (and I’m sorry to say but you have a 28 day cycle sooo…)

Here are my 4 easy meals I’ve been eating on repeat for years now (what? Don’t fix what’s not broken 🤷‍♀️)

All high protein and meal prep friendly 🤌

Comment MEALS and I’ll send you Vol 1 of my recipe book 🍝
Follow so you don’t miss out on Vol 2...

Did you know you could have money sitting in your name right now? 😏 There’s $2.7 BILLION of unclaimed money in Australia and yes, some of it might have your name on it 💸

I found $14 for my brother-in-law in about 30 seconds 🤣

But it sent me down a rabbit hole of “what the hell else don’t I know about?!”

Turns out, heaps…

📱 Your iPhone does a whole lot more than you realise (some mean you can cancel some apps and some will help you find your lost car)
🚗 Uber will pick up your click and collect
🔩 IKEA’s best kept secret
🤓 You can actually be alerted BEFORE you lose something not after
💄 If makeup breaks you out, you can get your money back…
Plus a tonne more hacks that adults need to know…across tech, life admin, money and a little bit of girl math😏

Facts that will ruin your perception of time and likely your day...

I found these while researching this week’s episode and I’d like everyone to suffer with me (sharing is caring right?🥴)

The reason for recording this weeks episode was because I caught myself saying the same things over and over;
How is it already September?!
How are my kids X years old?!
How is it already 2pm?!

and I say it all while watching YouTube as I cook, doing emails in the Woolies line and listening to podcasts at 2x. We’ve filled every empty minute we have and then we wonder why it’s all a blur..

So I share the e science on why time feels faster as you get older and uncover other facts but more importantly I share how we can slow down time outselves and live a more present life in a busy world.

What fact scared you the most? Mine was def Frozen 🥴

We’re constantly told not to care what other people think, but I don’t think being affected by someone’s words makes you weak. It makes you human.

Someone can make a comment in ten seconds that stays in your head for days. Even when you know their opinion shouldn’t matter, sometimes it still does.

What I’m learning is that not every opinion deserves the same weight.

🤍 Does this person really know me? 🤍 Do I respect their opinion? 🤍 Would I actually go to them for advice? 🤍 Is there something here I can genuinely learn from?

If not, why am I giving their words so much of my time and energy?

This week on the pod, I share exactly how I navigate this now, how I decide what feedback is actually worth listening to, and how to work out whose words deserve weight.
