Podcasts about messy life

This week's guest, renowned midlife trainer Hailey Babcock, wants you to know one thing: No one is crushing it 100%. Not the celebrities or big names she trains; not the tens of thousands of women she works with, and certainly not herself. Hailey is currently going through it with brain fog, joint pain, 2 a.m. wake ups, migraines, MIA libido, raw emotions, and low motivation and mojo. That's before you layer on the stress of running a business and parenting three kids. We dig into how she's navigating her onslaught of symptoms while she keeps showing up for herself and her clients; why being “fit for your life” matters more than chasing perfection, and how building a strong body matters when life gets messy.Hailey Babcock is the founder of Hailey Happens Fitness, an online fitness and nutrition brand dedicated to empowering women over 35 to feel strong, confident, and energized through every stage of midlife. A former gymnast, runner, and triathlete, Hailey has been a certified classical Pilates instructor for over 20 years and holds multiple certifications including TRX, kettlebell, barbell, foundational training, and ACE Certified Personal Trainer. Drawing on more than two decades in the fitness industry, she has guided over 50,000 women through online programs focused on fat loss, strength training, and sustainable nutrition, with a special mission to convert women in their 40s and beyond to the miracle of strength training. Committed to evidence-based practice, Hailey collaborates with renowned experts like Dr. Vonda Wright and Dr. Stacy Sims to ensure her methods reflect the latest in women's health and aging science, helping women from all walks of life—high-profile leaders to everyday midlife women—find more health, happiness, and resilience through smart, supportive, science-backed fitness and nutrition strategies.

If your normalcy, is juggling dogs, clients, kids, partners, piles of washing, dozens of undone chores, and a brain with 47 tabs open, this episode is for you. It is all about the reality of running a dog business while looking after family and dealing with a long list of other responsibilities outside of work. We talk openly about those rock‑bottom moments where you wonder if it would be easier to just go back to being “normal,” identity crisis, handling grief and being overstretched. You'll hear how to simplify your business, prioritise tasks and surround yourself with a community of people that provide the support you need instead of inadvertently making things worse. KEY TAKEAWAYS Feeling overwhelmed by life and work doesn't mean you're not cut out to run a business,  it means you're human. Developing a rinse‑and‑repeat business model frees up headspace and time.  Discomfort is part of growth. The right mentor stop your overthinking. They help you see where you are making things harder than they need to be. Who you surround yourself with massively affects your belief in what's possible and how hard everything feels.   When you feel fear or overwhelm spike about money, clients, big decisions or other things, pause, and say, “This is my brain trying to keep me safe.” Then ask: "If fear wasn't driving this, what would I choose?"   Periodically, audit your business for tabs that don´t need to be open and plates you no longer need to keep spinning. List out everything you're trying to do, decide what actually moves the needle and what can be parked. For regularly repeated tasks, develop simple rinse and repeat processes, and follow them. BEST MOMENTS “How often, do you feel you've just got too many tabs open in your head, or you're spinning too many plates?” “Life is busy, life is short, so actually spend it with people you love. Spend it with people that are going to encourage you.” “Often, we are afraid to put ourselves first.” “What thoughts are yours, and what are other people's that have infiltrated your brain?” If you've not grabbed your CBA Live ticket yet, get your arse in gear and sort it here:https://www.caninebusinessacademy.com/cba-live-2026/ Across two days we cover everything we've talked about in this episode (and a lot more): real-life business stories, mindset, money, systems, and strategies you can actually use.  You'll connect with other force-free trainers, and you'll have the chance to join the CBA community full-time so you're not left doing this on your own.

I thought meditation would fix me. Instead, I put my phone on silent for six years. Here's the truth: I am not the girl who lights a candle, sits cross-legged on a linen cushion and meditates her way to inner peace. I've tried. Instead, I spent years wondering why every wellness routine on the internet seemed to work for everyone except me. The good news? Nothing was wrong with me. My nervous system was just overloaded. In this episode, I'm sharing the weird, unglamorous things I actually do to calm an anxious, overstimulated, ADHD brain. No bubble baths. No 5am ice baths. No pretending to enjoy meditation. Just seven simple things that genuinely help me feel calmer, less overwhelmed and more like a functioning human. Because weird works if it makes you well.This podcast is for you if: You've muted a group chat and felt immediate relief You've sat in the driveway because you physically couldn't go inside yet The sound of everyone needing something from you makes you want to hide in a cupboard You've tried meditation and spent the whole time mentally reorganising your life What you'll learn: Why traditional self-care doesn't work for everyone• How notifications keep your nervous system stuck in stress mode• Simple ways to reduce overstimulation throughout your day• Why movement can be more effective than meditation for some people• The science behind expressive writing, behavioural activation and transition rituals• Practical mental health tools you can actually use when life feels overwhelming Here's what I break down in this episode: Why We're All So Fried Phone On Silent For Six Years Batching Your Replies Noise-Cancelling Headphones The Two-Minute Car Sit Move, Don't Sit Feelings On Paper Before People Clean One Thing The Permission Slip ...

We’ve been sold the same message for years: start Monday, go all in, be perfect, and somehow transform your life in eight weeks. But what if that's exactly what's keeping us stuck? I’m here to tell you, I’ve done (and seen) some things. My own health journey has been vast. From beer and noodle box for breakfast, to bodybuilding extremes, and everything in between. I’ve finally found a balanced approach that actually lasts, and now I’m here to share the lessons I wish I had learned years earlier. In this episode, I share the health and fitness mindset shifts that completely changed my relationship with food, exercise, and my body. This isn't another episode about losing weight or chasing the "perfect" body. It's about creating habits that actually fit your life, breaking free from all-or-nothing thinking, and feeling better in your own skin without the guilt, shame, or impossible expectations. In this episode: Why the all-or-nothing mindset is sabotaging your progress The identity shift that makes healthy habits easier to stick to How to stop waiting for the "perfect" time to start Simple hacks for drinking more water and eating better The power of meal planning without overcomplicating it Why consistency beats perfection every single time My personal journey from unhealthy habits to bodybuilding and back to balance If you've ever started a health kick on a Monday, fallen off track, and felt like you've failed, this episode is your reminder that one imperfect choice doesn't ruin everything—and that lasting change is often much simpler than we make it. Because life isn't an eight-week challenge. It's the habits you can keep doing long after the motivation wears off. … Episode Links: S1 Episode: Gaining 25kg, Losing it all (and myself) and what it took to Find Balance Shop Meal Planner Magnets: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planner-magnets … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

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) … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

If you've ever bought a planner and you just can't seem to stick to it. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, constantly behind, or like everyone else somehow got the instruction manual for life except you — this episode is for you. One of my most asked questions is ‘Steph, how do you do it all? How do you plan your week? How do you have everything running so smoothly?’ From the outside, it looks like everything does run smoothly. But to be honest, it hasn’t been easy. I've had to go through trial and error to create the systems that work, because in reality I’m a hot mess, and the way my brain works is very different. In this episode I share: I’m breaking down the exact planning system that keeps my life, business, kids, and chaotic brain functioning without completely falling apart. I talk brain dumps, priority blindness, Google Calendar hacks, the “top three + quick three” method, meal planning, habit tracking, and why your planner should work with your brain, not against it. I’ll also share how I use AI and automation to save hours every week (including the AI assistant I built called Dobby), why your nightly “handover document” might change your life, and the reason most planners fail people with messy minds. Because getting organised isn’t about becoming perfect. It’s about building systems that make life feel lighter. … Episode Links: Submit your Hot Mess Hotline question here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeUnWTcPntVMCQrdu2wSFqFHEnQkggznr_23Ux9zDBNvlh78g/viewform?usp=publish-editor Shop 2026 Planners: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planners Shop Planner Stickers: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/sticker-packs Shop Magnet Planners: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planner-magnets Shop Highlighters: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/magnetic-markers/products/pastel-highlighter-pack Steph’s Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com.au/shop/justanothermummyblog/list/17TTU785IMM53 … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

The reason your meal prep keeps failing isn't because you're not disciplined. It's because you're copying systems built for people who like cooking. If that's not you, those systems will never work. You know the spiral. You're on Pinterest, you find recipes that look amazing, you go and spend hundreds of dollars on groceries (including six herbs you've never heard of), and by week three you're hating life and the kitchen is a war zone. Week one you were motivated. Week two you were okay. Week three you've given up. You know what hasn't given up? The weird herbs. They're still in your pantry. They will outlive us all. In this episode I share: The 10-meal rotation: the framework that fixed my dinners forever ("we like what we like" beats Pinterest every time) Theme nights and the science of pre-set decision frames The meal plan is a guide, not a contract: how to swap meals without falling off the wagon Component prep, not full meal prep The viral lunch bag I designed at the SPP warehouse The Woolies online list hack that saves me 30 minutes a week Decide what's for dinner at 9am, not 5pm: the rule that ended my 5pm panic forever BONUS: The Grab-and-Go Tub — pantry snacks the kids choose from … Episode Links: Shop the Luxe Lunch Bag: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/luxe-lunch-bags Shop the Shopping List Notepad: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/products/new-shopping-list Shop Magnet Planners: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/planner-magnets Steph’s Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com.au/shop/justanothermummyblog/list/17TTU785IMM53 … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

Have you ever stood in the kitchen at 7:14am holding two odd shoes and a half-made sandwich, wondering whether it's Wednesday or Thursday? It’s no secret that I’m a hot mess. And mornings (and the 35,000 micro decisions we need to make by 9am) are always extra messy. So if you've ever been late to the meeting that mattered because morning-you wrote the wrong start time in your head, or your screen time number scares the shit out of you, or you've already snapped at someone you love before the day has even started, this one is for you. The secret? Stop trying to fix your morning. Fix your night. In this episode I share the six night-before rituals I follow, because morning me cannot be trusted. The handover document, the launchpad, and the toast I refuse to make. In this episode: - The day I was an hour late to the Steph Pase Planners Zoom that broke me — and the rules I made because of it - 35,000 micro decisions by 9am: the science behind why your brain is exhausted before you've even started the day - Ritual 1: Outfit prep with the labelled hangers (and the 6pm weather check) - Ritual 2: Lunches 80% prepped (the alternative is the KFC drive-through, ask me how I know) - Ritual 3: The launchpad + the life pouch (which was originally an SPP tech pouch I made) - Ritual 4: Same brekkie every single day (overnight protein Whip-Bix because I hate toast) - Ritual 5: The brain dump → handover document for your future self - Ritual 6: The 15-minute increment alarm hack (and why "shaping" in psychology beats willpower) - The two-step rule (pulled from S2E7): if it takes more than 2 steps, redesign it … Episode Links: Shop the Life & Tech Organiser Pouch: https://www.stephpaseplanners.com.au/collections/tech-organiser-pouches Steph’s Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com.au/shop/justanothermummyblog/list/17TTU785IMM53 … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

"Mummy, can you put your phone down?" I’m taking you back to the day my 6-year-old shamed me with one sentence... and these phone and tech rules I made because of it. I know we can all relate to the struggle of succumbing to our devices. Hey, I love a good scroll, but when a kid says that to you, it hits you hard. Honestly, I have no control when it comes to technology. It felt like my phone was ruining my life, my attention span, and my mental health. Until this wake-up call. In this episode, I share the science behind why your phone is winning, and the 6 rules I created to help manage my own phone use. And the best bit: none of these rules require willpower..it comes down to our brain and the science behind it. This episode is for you if: You picked up your phone to do ONE thing and 4 hours later you're deep in your brand new hyperfocus of a 15-step haircare routine on TikTok (not speaking from experience or anything) Someone you love — your kid, your partner, your mum, your bestie — has asked you to put your phone down and you felt the gut-punch Your daily screen time number is genuinely offensive and you're sick of feeling like a piece of shit about it You have ADHD (or just a brain) and you've tried "more discipline" and shockingly it didn't work You want to stop scrolling at 1am but just one more...

Here’s the truth:Your brain isn’t broken… it’s just overwhelmed. Whether you have ADHD or not, we’re all living in a world that’s busy, noisy, overstimulating—and expecting us to remember everything. So instead of trying to “be better” or “get more disciplined”…what if you just made life easier? In this episode, I’m walking you through the 8 weird (but wildly effective) systems I use daily to reduce overwhelm, stop forgetting everything, and actually function like a normal human. From the “sock theory” to the “life pouch”… these are the small tweaks that remove friction and make your life work with your brain—not against it. What you’ll learn: Why your brain struggles to keep up (and why it’s not your fault) How to reduce decision fatigue in your everyday life Why “simple systems” are more powerful than motivation How to work with your brain instead of constantly fighting it Here’s what I break down in this episode: Weekly Brain Dump Get everything out of your head and onto paper (aka cognitive offloading) The One-Type-of-Sock Rule Eliminate unnecessary decisions (yes, socks matter more than you think) Planner Always Open + Visible Out of sight = out of mind (so don’t let it disappear) Alarms for Starting (Not Just Leaving) Stop being late by planning for getting ready, not just the event The Launch Pad A designated space for everything you need the next day The “Life Pouch” One small bag with all your essentials—no more losing everything The 2-Step Rule If it takes more than two steps… redesign it Closing Shift Routine Reset your home each night so future you isn’t overwhelmed … Follow Stephing Up I’m Steph Pase, your (somewhat) organised bestie in your ears.

You don’t just wake up one day burnt out.You don’t suddenly lose your spark. It happens slowly. Quietly. While you’re still showing up… still getting things done… still functioning. Until one day, you look at yourself and think: I don’t even recognise who I am anymore. If you’ve been feeling flat, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions… this episode is for you. In this episode I share: The moment I realised I’d lost my spark—and the subtle, high-functioning burnout that got me there. Why burnout doesn’t always look like “falling apart”, and how it shows up in daily life. The real reason you ended up here (and the hard truth behind it). Practical, doable steps to start feeling like you again. Plus, I’ve created a free workbook to help you reset your routine and get your colour back.

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.

Have you ever noticed that starting new habits can feel like pulling teeth? You’ve set your goal. You want it with every fiber of your being… yet you're still met with so much resistance. You have every intention of going to bed early, but suddenly it's three o'clock in the morning and you're doing a ‘Which kitchen appliance am I’ quiz? Turns out, there is a good reason for that. (And I’m a toaster, thanks for asking). Our brains see new habits as a threat because it doesn't know what's going to happen. Read that again. Your brain wants you to stay with what's familiar because it knows the outcome. And when it can predict the outcome, it feels safe. Your brain relies on knowing exactly what's going to happen, so it continues to pull you back to what it knows. So even if an existing habit is bad for you, like scrolling, overeating, staying in a job you hate or avoiding hard conversations, your brain thinks, “Well, I know how this ends and we survived it last time, so let's just do that again.” And it replays over and over again. Even if those habits make you unhappy. Even if they make you unhealthy. And even if they're keeping you stuck. In this episode, I’m sharing all the things I WISH we were taught back in school, including: The science behind why changing your habits is so hard. The truth about lazy brains… and the autopilot trap. The healthy habits cheatcode: Four steps you can take to ‘trick’ your brain into accepting a new habit. Why you should finally stop comparing yourself to others. … 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.

"We need to focus on who we are." The secret to raising resilient children starts with the parent stepping away to find their own calm in the chaos.In this episode of the Real Things Living Podcast, Brigitte Cutshall explores the essentials of Parental Resilience with psychologist and author Dr. Kate Lund. Dr. Lund introduces her "Step Away" book, which focuses on the psychology of parenting and why resilient parenting requires us to prioritize our own well-being first.They dive into the comparison trap of social media, the importance of mindfulness for parents, and practical strategies for overcoming parental stress. By shifting from a "crisis mode" to a "resilient lifestyle," moms and dads can find better work-life balance for families and improve overall mental health for moms and dads.3 Key Takeaways(1) Manage the Baseline: Resilience isn't just for emergencies; it's a daily practice. Using tools like the "relaxation response" helps parents start their day at a lower stress level so they can ride life's challenges like a wave.(2) The "Step Away" Philosophy: Stepping away isn't about checked-out parenting; it's about putting on your own oxygen mask first. By prioritizing self-awareness and personal joy, parents can "step back in" more robustly for their families.(3) Context Over Comparison: High stress often stems from comparing our "messy" reality to curated digital lives. True resilience comes from optimizing within your own unique context and focusing on authentic human connection.To find more of Dr. Kate Lund's resources and pick up a copy of her new book, Step Away, visit her website at https://KateLundSpeaks.com Connect with her on: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kate-lund/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dr_kate_lund/

Morning Mantra: "I'd rather live my life in acceptance of it not being perfect, than live it pretending it is."No one has a perfect life.  Even if they pretend to on social media.  That's why Facebook is sometimes referred to as "Fakebook." Rarely does someone put the tough things out there.  We tend to hide them from the world.Learning to accept that some things in life won't get better is not giving up, it's not being negative.  Because it might not get better, but you will. You will get stronger. You'll be more appreciative of what is good in your life.  And as you do you become more authentic in living.All you can do is fix what you can, and adapt to what you can't. You learn to live with your situations as messy and ugly as they might be.  You understand that life is perfectly unperfect. But it is amazing and beautiful too.To do the best you can with what life handed you is worth celebrating too.#BeOkWithMessy #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

Hi friends, happy Wednesday! So the other day, I was googling jelly beans. Don't ask why, I was in a mood. But I ended up falling down a rabbit hole, and suddenly… I was reading about Ronald Reagan.  Apparently, Reagan was *obsessed* with jelly beans. I guess he started eating them as a way to quit smoking. He swapped cigarettes for jelly beans. Inspired.  But once he was hooked, he never looked back. There were jelly beans on Air Force One. Jelly beans in the Oval Office. Jelly beans sent to space with astronauts, I am not joking.  At this point I stumbled onto a quote about his wife, Nancy Reagan, and let me just say...America may have called her the First Lady, but Hollywood had a slightly different title for her. If you know, you know. So today, I've got quite a story for you. Blow jobs, secret weapon deals, astrology, and a very intense power couple.  This man ignored a literal pandemic, while letting his wife schedule national security briefings based on his horoscope. So join me for the Dark History of Ronald Reagan. Let's get into it. I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out.

When God's presence departs, a spiritual vacuum is left behind—and evil quickly moves in to fill the void. In this powerful installment of our Raw and Real series, we dive into the life of David and explore how your God-given gifts can position you for divine purpose.

Sometimes the messiness of life can cause us to question whether our time will ever come—but God is never late. In this episode, Pastor James D. Gailliard reminds us that Preparation Precedes Promotion and that God often does His deepest forming in hidden places. As we journey through the anointing of David, we uncover the power of perspective, the danger of flawed filters, and the necessity of faithful service even when no one is watching.Whether you're in a season of waiting or standing on the edge of breakthrough, this word will challenge you to live with intention, character, and spiritual vision. God's appointments are never accidental—your present obedience is paving the way for future assignments.

Erica Campbell walked away from corporate life, took a hard left from the British Embassy, and found her calling writing checks for families nobody else sees. As Executive Director of Pinky Swear Foundation, she doesn't waste time on fluff. Her team pays rent, fills gas tanks, and gives sick kids' parents the one thing they don't have—time. Then, breast cancer hit her. She became the patient. Wrote a book about it. Didn't sugarcoat a damn thing. We talk about parking fees, grief, nonprofit burnout, and how the hell you decide which families get help and which don't. Also: AOL handles, John Hughes, and letters from strangers that make you cry. Erica is part Punky Brewster, part Rosie the Robot, and part Lisa Simpson—with just enough GenX Long Island sarcasm to make it all land. This one sticks.RELATED LINKSPinky Swear FoundationThe Mastectomy I Always Wanted (Book)Erica on LinkedInThink & Link: Erica Campbell“Like the Tale of a Starfish” - Blog Post“Cancer Diagnosis, Messy Life, Financial Support” - Blog PostFEEDBACKLike this episode?
