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 “How I Plan.” 
This episode is about WHY rest still feels impossible even when you've got a plan.

This is for you if:
You have hidden in the pantry for 60 seconds of silence
You sit in the driveway after school drop-off because you can’t bring yourself to walk in
You’ve scrolled for 45 minutes and then wondered why you have no time to rest 

Here’s what you'll learn:
Why you feel exhausted even when you've "done nothing"
The hidden mental load so many women are carrying
Why scrolling isn't giving you the rest you actually need
The 7 different types of rest and how to identify what you're missing
How to stop treating busyness like a badge of honour
Simple ways to create more peace without changing your entire life

 

Here's what I break down in this episode:
What "drowning" actually looks like (and why it's not your fault)
The 7 brutal truths about why you can't switch off
The 70% cognitive household labour stat: why women are managing 7 people's lives on top of their own
The 7 types of rest: physical / mental / emotional / spiritual / social / sensory / creative
"Romanticising the mundane" + the anchor moment hack
The reframe: "you don't have to earn your right to exist"
Why batching + automating gives you hours back (without quitting anything)

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.
