That overflowing cart isn’t just stuff—it’s an attempt to buy a future version of you. In this solo episode, Paige breaks down aspirational spending: purchases you make to “become” someone you’re not (yet), why it drains your money and self-worth, and how to pivot to aligned, identity-rooted choices.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How Maslow’s Hierarchy shows up in our carts (and why self-actualization gets hijacked by shopping).

• The self-discrepancy gap—and why overspenders feel it more intensely.

• The two core problems with aspirational buys

• The “sprinkles-not-sundae” principle: how your purchases should be supportive, not transformative.

• Paige’s rule that’s saved her thousands: Give Yourself The Proof Before You Make A Purchase

If you’re ready to stop outsourcing growth to handbags and gadgets—and start building it from the inside out—this episode is your roadmap.
