    #144 Enjoying Change

    What if the changes you’re making didn’t have to feel like a burden… but could actually bring you joy? In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to enjoy the changes you're making so they actually last. I’m sharing real-life examples from my own journey—like budgeting with joy, feeling lighter in my marriage, finding peace in my health rhythms, and building a business with God at the center. These shifts didn’t start out easy. Some felt overwhelming at first. But as I leaned into the why behind the change, used my thoughts to support the process, and focused on what I was saying yes to, the changes became life-giving. And joyful. And permanent. If you're in a season of change—or you want to be—this episode will help you dream again. You'll be reminded that change can feel good. You’ll be invited to see yourself as the woman you're becoming. And you’ll learn to step into that version of you with joy, confidence, and peace in your spirit.

    #143 The Fruit of Self-Control with Elisa Morgan

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by Elisa Morgan, former CEO of MOPS, author, and speaker, to talk about the gift of Spirit-led self-control. We explore the difference between healthy self-control (healthy mindedness) and over-control, and how easy it is to lean on control as a way to protect ourselves. Elisa shares such powerful wisdom on what it looks like to draw near to God, trust Him, and let His guidance lead us to what’s best. If you’ve ever wrestled with control or want to grow in your relationship with self-control, this conversation is for you. It’s a beautiful reminder that self-control, when led by the Spirit, brings freedom, not pressure.

    #142 Calming Anxiety and Finding God’s Peace with Kara Stout

    In today’s episode, I’m joined by my sweet new friend Kara Stout to talk about something so many women quietly carry: anxiety. Whether it’s fear about your health, your kids, or just the weight of the unknown—this conversation is a safe place to lay it all down at the feet of Jesus. Kara shares her personal story of walking through loss, finding peace in motherhood, and what led her to write a 30-day devotional—An Untroubled Heart—to help women experience God’s calm. We talk about surrender, trust, guilt, and the powerful truth that God is the one who holds it all together. If you’ve been longing for peace, I pray this episode feels like a deep breath for your soul. 💛 Follow Kara on Instagram: @sincerelybykara 📖 Buy her 30-day devotional on Amazon: https://a.co/d/hiyAnEH Learn more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paigeschmidt.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Work with Paige: Group Coaching: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paigeschmidt.com/livebrightly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  1:1 Coaching: ⁠https://www.paigeschmidt.com/private-coaching-with-paige/⁠ Connect with Paige: Subscribe to the podcast!

    #141 Patient Self-Control

    Self-control that comes from the Holy Spirit is calm, patient, and steady. It’s not chaotic or rooted in fear. It's grounded and guided. It’s the opposite of impulsive. It’s directed, intentional, and bright. I can’t wait to talk with you today about the gift of this kind of self-control. If you’re like me and have ever had a complicated or negative relationship with self-control—maybe you used it to shrink yourself, punish yourself, or try to earn your worth—I think this episode will speak right to your heart. Enjoy! And if you’d like support in this area, you’re always welcome to fill out an application to work with me 1:1. I’d love to help you grow into this gentle, Spirit-led self-control that flourishes when God is at the center of your growth.  Learn more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paigeschmidt.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Work with Paige: Group Coaching: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paigeschmidt.com/livebrightly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  1:1 Coaching: ⁠https://www.paigeschmidt.com/private-coaching-with-paige/⁠ Connect with Paige: Subscribe to the podcast!

    #140 When Easy Thinking Helps You Do the Harder Thing

    In this episode, I share how “easy thinking” has helped me cut through mental resistance—not to avoid hard things, but to show up for them with more peace, love, and joy. We’ll talk about what Jesus actually says about the narrow path, how to hold both peace and challenge in tension, and why easy thinking isn’t about comfort… it’s about obedience without the drama.

    #139 Declutter Your Heart and Your Home with Julia Ubbenga

    In this episode, I’m joined by Julia Ubbenga—creator of the popular blog Rich in What Matters and author of the upcoming book Declutter Your Heart and Your Home, releasing April 15. We dive into how true minimalism goes far beyond organizing—it’s about de-owning and realigning your life around what matters most. Julia shares how the state of our homes often mirrors the state of our souls, and how simplifying both our inner and outer worlds can lead to more peace, joy, and deeper connection with God. We talk about the role faith plays in her minimalist lifestyle, practical tips for overwhelmed moms, and how minimalism can transform your family, finances, and spiritual life. If you’re craving a simpler, more intentional life—and a home that feels like a refuge rather than a source of stress—this conversation will deeply encourage you. 🎧 Listen in and order Declutter Your Heart and Your Home wherever books are sold today! 🎧 Listen to Julia's first episode on Living Brightly here Learn more: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paigeschmidt.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Work with Paige: Group Coaching: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠paigeschmidt.com/livebrightly⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  1:1 Coaching: ⁠https://www.paigeschmidt.com/private-coaching-with-paige/⁠ Connect with Paige: Subscribe to the podcast!
