If you desire support and community in your journey to living your bright life, join us in Live Brightly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re cultivating a community of women who are saying YES to God. And doing this together makes a difference.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is this you?
Are you seeking community, inspiration, and support?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Live Brightly is a space that combines coaching and community. It’s a place for women ready to co-create a bright, purposeful life with God.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We do this through a group call every other week that brings on connection, reflection, and short lessons that draw you closer in your relationship with Jesus.

Growth is so much more powerful when done in community with others. You may come to a call one day (or listen in) not knowing what you need, and leave completely inspired and lightened to go back into your right now real life with a fresh, new perspective to make the changes you want to make.

We’re brighter together👭🙏💐☕️📖 Know Him more, and let His light shine through you, in community with others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Together, we’ll explore the depths of His love and uncover the radiating potential within you. There’s more than enough room at the Live Brightly table.

Oh, and next week we’ve got a whole live workshop on values aligned living. Learn to ride the waves with us, inviting Jesus in to calm to the storms as we go through daily life together, trusting Him more. His will, not ours 🙏

Join us—the link is in my bio and I’d LOVE to do life alongside you in Live Brightly.

We can walk in bold faith as we leave worry, doubt, and fear at Jesus’s feet Jesus.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ephesians 6:12 says, “Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers, authorities, and powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I pray this blessed you today. I needed this reminder today, too.

My family 💛 (minus Abby 🐶). Let's chat about HAPPINESS.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​One of the biggest things that keeps you STUCK from creating a happier life is believing that happiness = feeling good all the time and living a pain free existence.

Listen, if you're waiting for THIS to be your reality in order to be HAPPY you'll be waiting FOR.E.VER.

A happy, bright, and meaningful life is created because you're no longer in a STRUGGLE with all that it means to be human.

You've accepted that sometimes you have hard thoughts and feelings. Sometimes you experience pain. Sometimes you experience feeling good.

But ALL the while, you're committed to living aligned with your values. THIS is what creates YOUR bright and meaningful life. ™

With Jesus at the center of this, life becomes full of purpose, renewal, curiosity, compassion...

Did you know compassion means to acknowledge pain and then *show* CARE and KINDNESS?

This is what it means to be SELF-compassionate. To acknowledge how you're truly feeling, to let it be, and to show yourself care and kindness as you *move forward TOWARD who you want to be.*

Values are your heart's deepest desires for how you want to behave in this world as a human being.

When you've let Christ take over your heart, God puts His desires in there. One of my favorite pray is "Lord, fill my heart with YOUR desires."

As I pray that, He grows me in: listening, patience, pausing, caring, thinking about others, gratitude.

Do not get TRAPPED by the idea that being happy = feeling good all of the time.

I'd love to help you be FREE from this ideology & create a truly happy life, where you learn to accept your thoughts and feelings, stop struggling, and show up as the woman your DEEPLY want to be. Uncover who God made you.

05/02/2024

May is my month of saying "Yes God"! Less consumption, more presence to what is most meaningful.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Most days I'll share a post like this on my feed. I'd love for you to join me and share in the comments how you're saying "Yes God"!

If you want to gather every other week with a group of women who love God and you, come join us in Live Brightly.

ABIDE in Him 💛 He prunes us because He LOVES us and wants the BEST for us. This is the fruit He produces in your life. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Lord,
YES to your pruning.
YES to your fruit.
YES to crucifying the flesh.
YES to new life in you.
YES to walking by the Spirit.

Amen.

Your prayer for today: "YES GOD" 💛 ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Wake up.
Thank Him.
Ask Him to use you.
Surrender to Him.
Walk with Him all day.
Lift up the names of others.
PRAISE Him.
Let yourself be in AWE of Him.
He will renew you 💛

AMEN.

💪🏼 Put on the full armor of the Lord. Our fight is not against people on earth, but the powers of this world's darkness.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Satan made Eve question in the garden by saying *Did God REALLY say that?*

He is a deceiver. He wants to do anything to distract you from giving thanks and praise to God. TO seeing GOD'S goodness.

He wants you to believe that God is withholding good from you.

God is jealous FOR you. Satan is jealous OF YOU.

Renew your mind with Christ. Put on the armor that Ephesians 6 talks about.

Kick satan in the face. PRAISE God. Thank Him! Let yourself be in AWE of Him. THANK HIM always. Gratitude that is pointed toward God makes the enemy so mad. Make him MAD.

I say it all the time and I'll say it again, do not put your faith and hope in people and human teachers. They change ALL the time. GOD DOES NOT CHANGE LIKE SHIFTING SHADOWS.

People do. He knows that! He created them! But he does NOT change.

Put your faith in God, through Jesus. Find your security in HIM.

The person you're following who is promoting new age manifestation, connecting with "spiritual beings" etc... could have a heart change, come to Jesus, and renounce everything she's ever taught. Do not put your faith in these people. They may be connecting with "spiritual beings" but those aren't any spiritual beings you want to mess with. DO NOT be deceived. Pray for them to have a supernatural encounter with Jesus. I pray it ALL the time for people I love, authors, coaches, friends, etc... Lord, meet them. Help them to know you and your love. Just lift up their names. And don't put your faith there. Put your faith in Jesus.

Lord, BE OUR EVERYTHING and protect us from any influences that are not from you. We say YES to following you alone. We love you. AMEN.

Today I'm going to share what 1:1 Private Coaching actually looks like. Ready? Here's how it all works!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Each clients very first step is to fill in a coaching application (which you can do, link in bio).

This allows you to tell me where you are now, and where you'd like to be at the end of coaching together.

Once you've done that, I will receive a ping letting me know you've filled in your form.

From there, I'll read it over, and send you an email letting you know if it seems like we're a good fit.

If we are, I'll then invite you to book a free 30-minute consultation with me.

On that call, I'll ask more about where you are now, and where you'd like to be. We'll talk about some of the best possible outcomes you can expect from coaching.

If it still seems like a great fit to both of us, we'll save you a first session space on my calendar for 24 hours while you talk with your spouse or sleep on it.

When you have you answer you'll send me an email to let me know.

If you're a YES, I'll get you set up for coaching and we'll start within 2 weeks.

Flip through the slides to see what our 1:1 Private Coaching journey will look like from there!

Link in bio to apply. Just ONE space left. If it's gone by the time you see this or apply, I'll put you next in line on my waitlist.

Don't overthink it. If God's putting it on your heart, apply. Head to the link in my bio now! 💛

Last picture is the week I gave my life to Jesus 🥹 I LOVED (and LOVE) this Bible. His goodness is SO NOT LOST on me. I am SO thankful for my relationship with Him.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​My story could be summarized like this: I was lost, now I'm found.

He absolutely changed my life. Before knowing Jesus, I used about a million different things to try and fill me.

Food, lack of food, controlling the size of my body, alcohol, partying, shopping, boys, books, and woo (enter: manifesting my desires).

There was a hole in me that I did not know how to fill.

I remember back then thinking "is this all there is?" I was so aware of my dissatisfaction.

14 years later and I'm in awe of Him. I needed Him for so much more than I ever knew I would. Two of the biggest reasons being for comfort as I lost my mom to cancer and my father to chronic alcoholism.

But I didn't just need Him just for the big grief. I need Him EVERY SINGLE DAY to make me a person who is grateful, content, patient, kind... He teaches me how to love and serve others well. I need Him to help me be the best wife I can be. To experience PEACE and rest as I run this business/mission/ministry with HIM.

I need Him to help me not get swept away by the FEAR in this world. I need Him to bring me peace, calm, and joy... every single day.

Inviting Him everyday, into every area, has changed the way I experience life.

DEEPLY.

I am who I am today (imperfect, deeply loved, and full of joy) BECAUSE of Him.

I'm so grateful for many things in my life but at the TOP of the list is HIS love for me & my belief in Him.

Jesus, bring as much heaven into us as we're willing to accept, and increase our willingness to receive from you. Help us live BRIGHTLY in gratitude of who you are. When we praise you, you increase our JOY. AMEN.

God has given me such a passion to come alongside you. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​I get asked all the time "don't you ever get tired of listening to people?" 😆

NO. I do not. It's my favorite part of what I get to do. Listening to you process, seeing your thoughts organize themselves as you speak them out loud. Seeing you get clear.

God gave me a heart and LOVE for listening, encouraging, developing, and seeing His potential—what He wants to do!—in every single person I meet.

I have a true love for seeing you get free from anything that holds you back.

When a client shares stories of how she's enjoying her family, riding bikes with them, taking time to be present and ENJOY her life... my heart BURSTS.

When a client tells me that her and her husband are LAUGHING and connecting again. I MELT.

When a client shares she's organized her space the way she wants and is waking up in PEACE with a CLEAR mind and is able to be present to God, with herself, and her family... gaaaah! I BEAM.

As each client processes and shares her struggles with me, my heart immediately points 100% of its attention to her. Listening for anything that might be a lie/limiting.

I GET IT. I HEAR YOU. I SEE YOU. I UNDERSTAND YOU. I'm here to walk alongside you to help you show up the way you want.

If you've ever struggled with putting a dream on pause, repeatedly, telling yourself that when things slow down, it will then be the right time to pursue it, this episode is for you.

🎧 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/124-from-when-to-even-when/id1550830355?i=1000651863391

If you’ve spent way too much time thinking about what you should do instead of actually doing what you want to do, this episode is for you.

▶️ I pray you are deeply encouraged today to hit “play” on your dreams, and stop waiting for the perfect time or the perfect plan, and can actively start moving forward instead.

I've watched friends become new right before my own eyes. Have you?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​It's like someone gets a new opportunity that causes them to see themselves a new way and they just start to show up differently.

In a good way! I'm talking beaming. Bright. A contentment about life. A new joy. Even what they wear begins to shift. You can experience this too.

You've likely told yourself that black and white thinking is bad. But I've got one way B/W thinking can help you...

If you want to BE a new way, you must THINK of yourself a new way. (Even before your circumstances change.)

Are there currently any negative ways in which you see yourself? Take a moment to think about it... For example...

I'm always late.
I'm such a people pleaser.
I never follow through.

If you want to become NEW, you need to THINK a new way. You need to begin thinking of yourself as [YOU] 2.0.

One way you can do that is by FLIPPING your thought 180 degrees to the total opposite–a B/W shift.

I show up early.
I'm not a people pleaser.
I love to follow through.

In order to BE a new way you must think a new way so your subconscious can start searching for action that aligns with the NEW identity you're inputing.

Sometimes a grey area thought works. But sometimes a total opposite thought is just what you need to move you in the direction you want to go.

I worked with a client on this yesterday. She chose a grey thought and a B/W thought and I asked her which one gets you more excited to show up a new way?

It was the B/W thought for her. She said it felt clear, direct, and empowering.

Change your thinking. Change your life. Apply for 1:1 Private Coaching–link in bio. Let's do it together.

I'd like to offer you a new way to think about your goals.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​A goal is a desire you give yourself permission to pursue.

BUT... how do you pursue a goal all the way through? And why do you so often give up on your goals?

It's not about the goal. It's about *how you're treating yourself on the way to the goal.*

You give up to self-protect.

You'll pretend you don't care about the goal to stop the negative thoughts "I suck at this" "I can't do this" "It's too hard" "Why'd I think I wanted to do this?" "This isn't gonna work" etc...

Your negative thoughts and fears lead you to abandon your goals.

Deep down, your goals matter to you. It's why you keep coming back to them, but you struggle to stay committed all the way through.

That's where I come in. Loving, supportive accountability to help you get to the goal and to be kind to yourself along the way.

✨ What goal would you pursue if you knew you'd be absolutely kind to yourself every step of the way there?

It starts in your mind; if you want to BE a new way, you need to THINK a new way. We are transformed by the renewal of our minds (Romans 12:2).

Goals aren’t just targets. When pursued with kindness, they have the ability to shape you into who God created you to be.

A happier mom, wife. A more empowered business owner. A woman who goes for what she wants and stands firm in the Lord. Boldly.

You'll love who you become along the way.

Let’s Work Together!

I'd love to help you. With only two spots left for private coaching, THIS is my invitation to you. There's a link in my bio to apply.

This very well could be the next step you've been waiting for.

✨As a coach, I’ve had access to a lot of personal growth resources and hacks over the last 12+ years. But *very few* of them embrace the power of God and His role in our lives. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Like you, I’ve read books, taken courses, and listened to endless podcasts. And while they offered some valuable insights, I eventually realized that there was a limit to how much I could solve on my own without God at the CENTER.

As I committed to seeking Him first in all of my decisions (Matthew 6:33), doors began to open in ways I couldn’t have imagined, and the clarity and peace I received have been unmistakable. It's because of Him.

His guidance has transformed my approach to coaching, allowing me to integrate faith into my practice. It’s not just about setting and achieving goals; it’s about aligning our lives with God’s will, leading to fulfillment and success that resonates on a much deeper level.

Hear it from April 💛–

🌿“I have completed coaching and self-development programs that I really enjoyed, but I never imagined what shifting to a faith-led coach would do for my life.

💖Paige has cracked open my heart to receive God and to co-create my life with Him. I feel more deeply connected to His purpose for my life, which has influenced how I am as a wife, parent, entrepreneur, and neighbor.

🥳I have redefined success. I allow my silliest, truest self to show up. I have shifted the lens through which I view people and circumstances. I am the woman I always wished I could be, and I know there's more growth and joy ahead.

🌟For me, working with a life coach was a 10/10 decision. But working with God as my coach, with Paige as the most loving facilitator and guide, is 100/10!

Do not hesitate to work with Paige in becoming your you-est you. Take the next step!”
