The Overcoming Overspending Podcast

What if the reason you haven't created the life you know you're capable of has nothing to do with discipline, intelligence, or motivation — and everything to do with what your brain believes is "realistic" for you?
 
In this episode, we're diving deep into the neuroscience behind possibility, belief, and why so many high-achieving women stay stuck repeating the same year over and over — even when they want more.
 
You'll learn how your brain forms a possibility map that quietly dictates what you pursue, what feels safe, and what you automatically rule out. We'll unpack why "realistic goals" often keep you small, how your fear center and filtering system work against big visions, and why thinking bigger is actually easier — and more motivating — for your brain than thinking small.
 
This conversation will challenge you to re-evaluate the goals you've set for 2026 and ask the question most people avoid: Is this actually big enough to require a new version of me?
 
If you're ready to stop playing within the limits of your past and start expanding what feels possible for your future, this episode will completely change the way you think about goals, growth, and what you're capable of creating next.
 
🎧 In this episode, you'll learn:
Why intelligence has far less to do with success than the size of your thinking

How your brain's possibility map shapes your goals (without you realizing it

Why realistic goals can be the riskiest goals you set

How thinking bigger rewires your brain for motivation, opportunity, and growth

What it actually takes to expand your definition of "safe" and "possible" in 2026


This is your invitation to think bigger — not recklessly, but intentionally — and to step into a future that stretches you, challenges you, and transforms you.

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.
