In this conversation, Paige returns with a more personal take on life as a digital entrepreneur living abroad. We’re talking guilt-free boundaries, “done is better than perfect” energy, tracking your freedom number, getting ruthless with your to-do list, and why ROI isn’t always about revenue.

She’s pulling back the curtain on the intentional choices that help her avoid burnout, make peace with not doing it all, and strategies to finally let yourself enjoy the life you’re building. 

If you’ve ever wondered when the “balance” part of work-life balance actually kicks in—this episode is for you. Spoiler: It’s not about having it all. It’s about knowing what’s actually worth having.
