The podcast is taking a short break for the next couple of weeks. I hope you have a relaxing end to the year, and I'm so excited for all that is to come in 2026! - Paige

This week, we're shifting out of the intensity of the past few episodes and into a more grounding, heart-opening practice — one that can completely transform how you feel about your life, your money, and your daily emotional experience.

Inside today's episode, Paige walks you through one of the most powerful mindset tools she teaches her clients: learning to want what you already have.

You'll explore: ✨ How scarcity quietly weaves itself into your mornings, your self-talk, and your spending ✨ Why your brain is wired to focus on what's missing — and how to retrain it ✨ The real reason "arrival fallacy" keeps you chasing the next thing ✨ Why contentment is the true currency of happiness ✨ Simple practices to shift into sufficiency (that take just minutes a day) ✨ The "last time theory" — and why this sobering, beautiful exercise instantly deepens gratitude ✨ How appreciating what you have today creates calmer spending and a more peaceful relationship with money

Paige also shares a tender personal update and how she's using these practices in real time during her next life chapter.

If you're ready to feel more grounded, more grateful, and more at peace with your life and money heading into the holiday season, this episode will land deeply.

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

What if most of your emotional suffering isn't coming from your circumstances—but from the way you're responding to them?

In this episode, Paige unpacks the life-changing concept of clean pain vs. dirty pain—a framework that helps you understand the difference between necessary pain that expands you and self-created suffering that keeps you stuck.

You'll learn:

• The key difference between clean and dirty emotional pain

• Why feeling your feelings isn't the same as suffering

• The five ways we unknowingly create unnecessary emotional pain (and how to stop)

• How to allow emotional discomfort without buffering, blaming, or resisting reality

This conversation will change how you see emotional pain forever. When you can recognize the difference between what's happening to you and what you're creating for yourself, you unlock a new level of peace, power, and emotional freedom.

Because pain is inevitable—but suffering is optional.

You've been told that more money means more freedom, that success brings security, and that buying what you want will make you feel better.

But what if everything you believed about money... is wrong?

In this episode, Paige peels back the curtain on 10 deeply ironic truths about money — moments where what we expect from spending, saving, or earning completely contradicts what we actually experience. These aren't abstract theories; they're the hidden emotional patterns that can quietly sabotage even the smartest, most successful women.

From why your daily latte might be dulling your joy to why earning more could be making you feel less safe — this episode is a must-listen if you've ever found yourself confused, disappointed, or thinking, "Why doesn't this feel as good as it should?"

Whether you're just starting to shift your money story or you've already hit your biggest goals, this episode offers a mirror, a mindset shift, and a moment of relief. Because it's not just about what you have — it's about how you experience what you have.

In this episode, Paige pulls back the curtain on the gift-giving guilt spiral that fuels so much unnecessary overspending — especially during the holidays.

Whether you're a gift-lover or gift-averse, this episode will help you untangle your spending from your self-worth — and finally take back control of your gift-giving with clarity, compassion, and intention.

You've mastered success everywhere else in your life. Now it's time to feel just as powerful with money.

Is your spending starting to feel… a little out of control? Like you've gone from "just one thing" to "how did we get here?"

In today's episode, Paige breaks down what she calls the Spending Snowball — a powerful (and surprisingly common) psychological spiral that turns one small, innocent purchase into a runaway avalanche of overspending.

You'll learn how to spot the signs early, understand the deeper psychological patterns at play (like the Diderot Effect), and the exact steps to stop the spiral — with compassion, not shame.

Whether it's the holidays, a vacation, a big life change, or you just "checked out" for a bit, this episode will help you slow down the momentum and take back control — one grounded, conscious choice at a time.

Plus: Paige shares the surprising mindset shifts that can make all the difference.
