Welcome to No One Ever Told Me. It's really nice to have you here. I’m Paige, a new mum, a former corporate career woman, and an individual on a quest to understand the way our culture is evolving. Over the last few years I’ve found myself drifting away from the mainstream narrative about what it means to be a modern woman: career driven, hyper-sexual, empowered feminists, who are independent ‘girl bosses’ that can have it all. It doesn’t feel right to me anymore, particularly as a new mother.

So I’m on a journey to interrogate all the things that no one ever told me. I’m interested in the way our mainstream culture is changing (and not necessarily for the better), in religion and spirituality, womanhood, motherhood and where or how career fits in. You may disagree with some of my views, and I welcome that! I sincerely think it is now more important than ever for us to be able to disagree with one another in respectful, productive ways. Equally as important is for those of us who don’t see ourselves reflected in the way society is headed to feel okay to say, hang on, that doesn’t feel right to me, without fear of being ostracized. So join me as I explore the things that no one ever told me. Because maybe no one ever told you either.
