Welcome To Smell The Roses

Check the clock, hit the pause, leave the stress behind. We're shifting gears, clearing space inside the mind. From the hustle to the healing, yeah, we know all the drill, but life is moving fast. It's time to make it stand still.

SPEAKER_01

Hi, gorgeous. Welcome to Smell the Roses with Steph. I'm so grateful you're here. This podcast is a space for those moments in life when you know something needs to change. When you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've forgotten yourself. When you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for more. For me, the rose became a symbol of transformation. A reminder that even in life's hardest seasons, there is always a possibility of growth, renewal, and becoming. Each week I will explore the mindset shifts, life lessons, personal growth, and soulful conversations that help us reconnect with who we truly are and who we're capable of becoming. I talk about confidence, courage, healing, purpose, relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and creating a life that feels deeply aligned with your heart. Because no matter where you are right now, your story isn't finished. You can reset, you can reinvent, and you can rise. I invite you to take a deep breath, settle in, and let's smell the roses together.

Introducing The Roses Reset Framework

SPEAKER_01

In this episode, I want to introduce you to the roses reset, the five R's method. I created the Roses Reset, the Five R's Method, which is an incredibly powerful framework designed to help people move from feeling stuck, burnt out, and overwhelmed to building a life they truly desire. Over the next few episodes of this podcast, I'll be giving you a glimpse into each stage of the 5Rs. Through my Roses Reset Life Coaching program, I created and developed the 5Rs method as a framework to guide people from feeling lost, unsure, and disconnected from their future to experiencing real transformation. The five R's Recognize.

SPEAKER_01

I created this framework from the belief that we can all live a life our hearts desire. You just need to start with a clear vision of who you are and what you truly want.

SPEAKER_00

The five R's will help you begin creating that vision.

SPEAKER_01

It provides a practical roadmap you can follow to start building the life you dream of. No one can tell you what your future looks like if you cannot see it for yourself. The transitions we go through in life help us grow. We learn from our past and it has brought us to where we are today. Where you go next It's up to you.

Steph’s Life Transitions And Reinvention

SPEAKER_01

I have gone through numerous transitions in my life, from leaving my school friends behind to starting my first full time job, moving out of home and becoming financially independent. I've experienced relationships and getting married to becoming a stay at home mother, rejoining the workforce and changing career paths. Building and starting multiple businesses, some failed and some have succeeded. All of this has led me to the present moment where my husband Chris and I have accomplished so much through our businesses. We live in our dream home and are now navigating a new stage of parenthood. Discovering and recognizing where I am today with our two teenage sons who are now driving and on the cusp of adulthood along with our daughter who is now becoming a tween. All three of our children are on their own journeys and experiencing transitions of their own. I too have had to apply the five R's method into my current stage in life. I now have more time, freedom, and space to reinvent myself, and that has led me to where I am today. This transition has been one of the most awakening and empowering experiences of my life. The space I've created for self-awareness, the clarity I have around what I want, and the vision I now have for achieving it are so clear that I can honestly say I am living a life that is aligned with my true authentic self. Guiding others to recognize where they are now and where they want to be one step at a time is exactly why I designed the Roses Reset Roadmap. I created it so you too can understand who you are right now in this present moment.

SPEAKER_00

Learn how to feel calmer. Let go of what no longer serves you. Reconnect with your values. Gain clarity where your future is taking you.

SPEAKER_01

Whether you're transitioning through a career change, becoming a first time mother, adjusting to life as an empty nestor, navigating separation or divorce, or grieving the loss of a loved one. Reinvention is one of the most empowering journeys you can take. And I'm here with you every step of the way. You

Unlocking Potential Through Inner Work

SPEAKER_01

heard it all before.

SPEAKER_00

Life is short, make the most of it.

SPEAKER_01

But what if you lived and never unlocked your full potential? What if the limiting beliefs you've carried for years could be challenged? We encourage our children to go to school and learn. We encourage them to take risks, try new things and grow.

SPEAKER_00

But who is encouraging you?

SPEAKER_01

Part of becoming an adult is learning how to keep growing even when there is no one around pushing or encouraging you. Through Rosa's Reset, the Five R's method, you can apply this framework as many times as needed throughout your life to help you recognize, regulate, release, reconnect, and reset. When the five R's are applied correctly, this framework helps build a stronger connection between who you are now and where you want your life to go in the future. Only you can do the inner work required to find meaning in your life, align yourself with what matters most and build a strong foundation that keeps you moving forward. That foundation creates greater self-satisfaction, deeper fulfillment, and ultimately a happier life.

The Recognise Prompt And Journal Practice

SPEAKER_01

Let's begin by looking at what your life looks like right now. Go and grab a notebook and write the word recognize. Now ask yourself, can you identify the life transition you are currently going through? What does your current identity look like compared to your past identity? Answer these questions when you have time to yourself. If this sounds like a journey you're willing to take with me, make sure you tune in on Wednesday to discover the steps in the Roses Reset 5Rs method. Thank
