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: <ul data-start="468" data-end="1040"> <li data-start="468" data-end="572"> How Maslow’s Hierarchy shows up in our carts (and why self-actualization gets hijacked by shopping). </li> <li data-start="573" data-end="648"> The self-discrepancy gap—and why overspenders feel it more intensely. </li> <li data-start="649" data-end="801"> The two core problems with aspirational buys </li> <li data-start="802" data-end="899"> The “sprinkles-not-sundae” principle: how your purchases should be supportive, not transformative. </li> <li data-start="900" data-end="1040"> Paige’s rule that’s saved her thousands: Give Yourself The Proof Before You Make A Purchase  </li> </ul> 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.
