Smell the Roses with Steph
Stop. Breathe. Reconnect.
Welcome to Smell the Roses with Steph, a personal growth and mindset podcast hosted by Australian author, personal growth educator and creator of the Roses Reset 5 R’s Method, Stephanie Ackland.
In a world that moves faster, demands more and constantly tells us what we should be doing, who we should be and what we should have achieved, it’s easy to lose sight of the person underneath it all.
This podcast is your reminder to slow down, look inward and reconnect with what truly matters.
Steph explores the real-life experiences that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, reactive or uncertain about what comes next and offers honest conversations, personal stories and practical tools to help you navigate change with greater self-awareness and intention.
At the heart of the podcast is Stephanie Ackland's Roses Reset 5 R’s Method, a practical framework for personal transformation and navigating life’s transitions:
RECOGNISE — Become aware of what is really happening within you and around you.
REGULATE — Create space between what you feel and how you respond.
RELEASE — Let go of the patterns, beliefs, expectations and behaviours that no longer serve you.
RECONNECT — Return to yourself, your values, your relationships and what genuinely matters.
RISE — Step forward with greater clarity, confidence and intention.
Through Smell the Roses with Steph, you’ll explore topics including mindset, self-awareness, self-worth, relationships, boundaries, people-pleasing, confidence, emotional overwhelm, personal growth, identity, change, life transitions and the courage to create a life that feels more aligned with who you are.
This isn't about becoming a completely different person.
It’s about coming back to yourself.
Sometimes life doesn't need to be completely changed.
Sometimes you simply need to stop long enough to notice what you've been missing.
So take a breath.
Look around.
Notice the people, moments and little things you might normally rush past.
And remember to Smell the Roses.
