You're not bad at cleaning. You just don't have the systems. 

When I was a kid, my room was so messy my mother hung a dolphin shower curtain across my shelves to hide it.

Like, a full shower curtain. With blue dolphins on it. On brand for me at the time. And it worked great until the mess behind it got so big the curtain couldn't hold it anymore.

I always thought I was incompetent. Turns out I just didn't have the systems. Here's how I tricked my ADHD brain into keeping a cleanish house.

This episode is for you if:
You've rewashed the same load three times because it smells like regret
Your kitchen bench regenerates clutter faster than you can clear it
You've genuinely considered moving house instead of cleaning the one you have

In this episode I share:
Why cleaning feels so hard (it's decision fatigue, not laziness)
Theme days: the alliteration brain hack
The cleaning playlist that tricks your brain
Catch-all baskets: batching the mess
The five-minute rule and why momentum builds dopamine
AM/PM resets: putting the house to bed

…

Your Messy Life Reset: 

Now that you’re clear on how to work with your brain (and not against it)... go back and complete your Messy Life Reset. I’ll walk you through it step-by-step in Season 2, episodes 1 and 2.

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.
