In this episode, I revisit three core characters from my past dating life: Short King, Bathroom Dad, and Rugby Guy. If you’ve ever had to give someone a nickname just to cope, this one’s for you. No shade (ok, maybe a little), just stories, self-reflection, and some well-earned eye rolls.

“Obedient Guy” thought he was the main character — and that Paige would play a supporting role. Spoiler alert: She didn’t. This is the story of a recent guy she dated, someone who thought love meant compliance, and how P realized her boundaries don’t make her difficult - they make her sane!

Somehow, I became the kind of girl who tries new things without a meltdown. On this solo ep, we’re talking about what it feels like to stop self-sabotaging, release control, and lean into life—even when it’s not perfect. Growth? We love to see it.

I thought I was just saying goodbye to my foster dog… but instead, I spiraled into every abandonment wound I’ve ever collected—from friendships ending to family that dipped and obviously men who have ghosted like it’s a sport. Poppi was just the trigger. I’m unpacking what it really feels like when you realize you’ve been the one left behind too many times—and how that shows up even when you think you’re good.

Buying a house by yourself? Sounds boss. Feels like chaos. I’m talking about the not-so-glamorous side of adulting: decision fatigue, analysis paralysis, and Googling “how to be decisive” at 2 a.m. Turns out homeownership is just making expensive decisions you’ll second guess for years.

Paige slid into comedian Karlous Miller’s DM’s —yes, that Karlous Miller—for a conversation that’s a blend of hilarious, unhinged, and surprisingly deep. It all started with a viral reel where Karlous said tall men don’t even like tall women (Paige is 5'10", so… rude). Now we’re unpacking that take, talking about dating as a tall woman and short man and getting into Karlous’s real-life whines—from relationships to his career. Whether you came here for the jokes or the whines, this episode has both.

P’s whining about her first ever foster dog... and the surprising things they have in common. Poppi the pup is cute, dramatic, a little needy—and not gonna lie, a little bit of a flirt. And honestly? Same. From chasing affection to having no business trusting strangers that fast, she’s been holding up a mirror Paige was not expecting!
