The Overcoming Overspending Podcast

215: Problems are forever: Pick yours with purpose


Listen Later

We live in a world obsessed with "fixing" problems — fixing our flaws, fixing our money, fixing our lives. But what if the goal was never to eliminate problems… but to choose better ones?

In this episode, Paige reframes the entire concept of "having problems" and shows you why a problem-free life is not only impossible… it's undesirable. She breaks down the difference between low-quality problems that drain your power and high-quality problems that expand it, and reveals why the challenges you choose determine the life you create.

This is a grounding, perspective-shifting conversation that will help you stop fighting reality, stop expecting life to be easier than it is, and start choosing problems that align with your values, identity, and the future you want. By the end of the episode you will:

  • Understand why problems never disappear — they simply evolve as you do

  • Identify the "low-quality problems" that are keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, or resentful

  • Learn how to choose higher-quality problems that move you toward growth, purpose, and emotional peace

  • See where you've been unintentionally creating unnecessary suffering through avoidance, urgency, or perfectionism

  • Feel empowered to approach your money, relationships, career, and daily life with more intention — and far less self-judgment
