Did you know Australians buy 56 new pieces of clothing every year; so why do we still have nothing to wear? Stylist Alarna Hope on the wardrobe edit, capsule wardrobes and 3 easy outfit formulas.

This is for you if:
You've got a full wardrobe and still end up in leggings and the same top every single day
You walk out of fitting rooms feeling worse than when you walked in
You hate shopping and just want someone to tell you what actually works
You feel as though you’ve lost yourself 

In this episode:
Why you have nothing to wear: Australians buy 56 new pieces of clothing a year, and the real reason none of it goes together
How to do a wardrobe edit: a stylist's section-by-section method (start with shoes) so it's not an overwhelming all-day cull
How to declutter clothes without the guilt: the "tried it but didn't wear it" basket and the sentimental box
Capsule wardrobe explained: why a capsule is for one part of your life, and doesn't have to be beige
3 outfit formulas + what's worth tailoring: two neutrals and a colour, the colour sandwich, hems, sleeves and waists

Nothing to Wear? Capsule Wardrobes for Real Life (with Stylist Alarna Hope)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/a196d773-5886-483e-8ae6-b4f500197a7d/transcript

I turn 36 today (rude). These are the things I wish I could go back and tell 30-year-old me, 25-year-old me, and especially 16-year-old me. Six lessons that took me years (and some really hard seasons) to learn, and six practical hacks that make my actual day-to-day easier.

This episode is for you if:
You're saving the nice perfume for a special occasion that never comes
You said yes to three things this week you didn't want to do
You feel "behind" because your life isn't sorted by 35 (I still don't know what's for dinner)

In this episode:
Life lessons I wish I knew sooner: wear the nice thing now, because we're the occasion
It's never too late: why you have more time than you think (and less time with the people you love)
People pleasing vs kindness: why one is a choice and the other is a fear response
Changing careers in your 30s: you're allowed to change your mind and pivot at any time
ADHD hacks that actually work for me.

Turning 36: 6 Life Lessons + 6 Hacks I Wish I Knew Sooner

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/3881b924-75c8-4b31-8a56-b4ee00b837ef/transcript

ChatGPT told me I was a soft autumn, so I culled my entire wardrobe. Then I got a proper colour analysis and found out I’m a light spring. Whoops. Turns out finding my (right) colour season was the thing that actually changed my glow up.

Rachel from Colour Lab explains colour analysis from scratch, what to wear instead of black, and how knowing your colour season changes your life outside the wardrobe too, from your hair colour to your makeup shades (and I can vouch for that).

This is for you if:
You’ve ever bought an outfit, put it on, and blamed your face
You’ve been checking your wrist veins to work out if you’re warm or cool (put your arm down)
Your wardrobe is 80% black and you’re not sure why it makes you look tired

In this episode:
What colour analysis is: the 12 seasons, and the 3 things (undertone, chroma, contrast) that decide yours
Virtual vs in-person colour analysis: how drapes work and why Rachel does it all online
How ChatGPT got my season wrong (and why I’d already culled my wardrobe)
Colour analysis beyond your wardrobe: your best hair colour and makeup shades
Colour analysis myths: the vein test, cool-toned fake tan, gold vs silver, and foundation labels
What to wear instead of black when black isn’t in your colour season
How knowing your colour season makes shopping easier
Does your colour season change as you age?

Colour Analysis 101: The Cheat Code to My Glow Up (with Colour Lab)

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/0901591c-9b20-4879-8eb8-b4e50066f031/transcript

This week's ep is my full skin cycling routine, what your skin barrier actually is, and why I now own half the products I used to. I'm not a dermatologist, I'm a 35-year-old with oily, acne-prone skin who has tried everything. And this is what worked for me.

Your skin doesn't know the routine. I learned this the annoying way. I'd been skin cycling for years, my skin was the best it had ever been, and then I got excited and skipped a recovery night. Tingling. Tight. Red. My skin barrier, very politely, telling me to sit down.

This is for you if:
You bought a retinol, used it every night like the packet said, and decided you "can't use retinol"
Everything you put on your face suddenly stings and you can't work out why
You're in your 30s dealing with breakouts AND fine lines (rude)

In this episode:
What is the skin barrier, and the signs yours is damaged
Skin cycling explained, and why it works
Exfoliation night: BHA vs AHA for oily or dull skin, and the 15-minute rule
Retinoids for beginners plus the sandwich method
Recovery nights: why the boring nights matter most

Adulting hacks nobody told me: iPhone settings you're not using, unclaimed money in Australia, free IKEA parts + more. These are the 17 things I found, across tech, life admin and money. Some of them you'll know. A lot of people won't. There's all these things we just assume everyone knows about... and they don't.

This is for you if:
You're paying for an app your phone already does 
You hate life admin with a passion, but you'd quite like any money that's sitting there with your name on it
You've ever stood in the IKEA car park missing one tiny wobbly metal thing

In this episode:
iPhone hacks nobody tells you about:
How to find unclaimed money in Australia
NSW money hacks
Life admin hacks
Home + girl math

Adulting Hacks Nobody Told Me: iPhone Tricks, Unclaimed Money + Free IKEA Parts

I'm about to ruin your perception of time and likely your day. Hang in there, we'll still be friends at the end. 

I went looking for the facts about time because I've become a broken record. How are my kids this old? How is it already September? Where did the year go? I say some version of that most days. And at the same time (this is the uncomfortable bit) I'm trying to make almost every part of my actual life go faster. YouTube while I cook. Emails in the grocery queue. Podcasts on double speed. I even brush my teeth in a rush. 

Today I’m sharing what I learned.

This is for you if:
You say "how is it already September" and "where did the year go" more than once a week
Your days blur together and you can't remember what you actually did on Tuesday
You've been told to "just be present" and thought, okay, but HOW

In this episode:
Why time speeds up as you get older
The two kinds of time: why a doctor's waiting room disappears and a weekend away feels huge
Why life feels like a blur and what the research says about memory markers
Living at double speed and what it's doing to us
How to be more present without meditating: the 5 things I actually do 
Why it's okay for time to fly and the question that replaced "how do I slow it down"

Time Goes Fast. Here’s How to Actually Slow it Down

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/a0766b45-1e63-4803-9b83-b4d0000ae7bd/transcript

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.

Before planners and podcasting, I was a wedding makeup artist. I did hundreds of faces, and these are 10 things I’d want you to know to get more out of your everyday makeup, without replacing your entire makeup bag.

This is for you if:
You want to elevate your everyday makeup look without spending money 
You learnt makeup from a Maybelline mousse pot and a lot of guessing, and no one's ever actually shown you
You've got a drawer full of products and your foundation still somehow ends up pink, grey, or in your hairline
You're 30-plus and your face looks tired in a way it didn't used to, and you want an instant lift 

Stay til the end for the biggest hack that will save you time and tears

Everyday Makeup Cheat Codes: 10 Tricks From a Former Makeup Artist

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/2561bca9-7dd0-4dd8-9ac7-b4c400af9c03/transcript

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

My Actual Health Routine... How I Train, What I Eat + How I Stay Consistent

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/129e02a9-f765-457f-a478-b4bb004ddcfb/transcript

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.

My Health & Fitness Journey: I Gained 25kg, Lost It All, and Finally Found Balance

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/b4afeef8-0f73-4f5b-a489-b4b6001c4d6f/transcript

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.
