Our brains so easily go to "what's the worst that can happen?" I like to encourage my clients by offering "what's the best that can happen?"

We're so accustomed to focusing on problems that we forget to focus on possibilities.

Today, try thinking about what can go right... and ask, "What are the BEST possible outcomes?"

With God, all things are possible 💛

(P.S. I have one private coaching space open to start a 6 month package with me – link in my bio to apply, or email me directly at [email protected]. New or past client 💕)

With over 14 years of coaching experience and hundreds of women served, clients consistently call this one of the best, most transformative investments they’ve ever made in themselves and their faith.

I have ☝️ one space open for private coaching. All the details & a link to apply for this space in my bio. 14 years later and still love these transformational 6 month sessions (and the women who do them!!) with all my heart. 💕

Someone recently said to me: “My life is pretty simple: church, family, fitness, and helping women.” I thought, “yeah, me too!” 🥰 Wouldn’t have it any other way! So grateful.

“My biggest word of encouragement for any woman considering Paige as your Christian Life Coach is, ‘Go for it!’ Coaching with her gave me tools and guidance I couldn’t achieve on my own. It was one of the best choices I’ve made, and I’m so grateful I took the ‘risk’ to grow in faith and become who I’ve always wanted to be.” - Catlin

“Through Paige’s Christ-centered support, I now live with a deep sense of peace and joy. When challenges come, I feel equipped and confident in who God made me to be. I am overflowing with gratitude. Paige is a gifted coach with a heart rooted in faith. No matter what season you’re in, I believe Paige can be a powerful and supportive resource for you.” – Brooke

I think my word for 2026 will be ENJOYMENT.

This year it’s ABIDE, and as I abide, God continues to teach me how to enjoy the life He’s given me — not as a series of to-dos, but truly savoring everything as a gift. Any choice I make, I have the opportunity to do it with enjoyment.

It’s how I’ve approached my health changes this year: ENJOYMENT.

Eating what I enjoy.
Setting goals knowing it’s possible to enjoy them.
Enjoying change (I even recorded a whole episode on this on the Living Brightly podcast: #144 “Enjoying Change”).

I’m a bit baffled when I think about how much of an option this is for us.. for all of us. We can choose to enjoy life, or not. No matter our circumstances, we get to choose our lens: enjoyment or effort? It’s simply deciding how you want to think.

Do we want everything to feel like effort? Or more like enjoyment? We’ve gotta do it anyway, might we enjoy it? That’s my stance. I want to enjoy it.

For me, with the health changes, it’s looked like not getting tangled in any mind drama about what I eat, how I move, or the choices I make. This is just what I do.

If I want a little more, I have more. I let it be easy, simple, sustainable. I eat foods I like. I make choices that increase enjoyment and appreciation. I really do not overthink any of it, and that is so calm and freeing.

And the results? Huuuuuuuuge. Can’t even say enough how GOOD it’s been. And it hasn’t felt like efforting myself to this place. It’s felt like calm, joy, and gratitude for doing this nourishment. Gosh, what a gift! All from a decision to enjoy it 💛

I am so thankful that the Lord is teaching me about enjoyment this year and reminding me that I have the option of what lens I want to view life through.

This month in Live Brightly, we’re focusing on ENJOYMENT. Want to join us? Come on in! The link is in my bio! I’d love to walk through a focused season of enjoyment with you. 😍🥰

Enjoyment is part of living a bright and purposeful life. ENJOY a little longer today. 💛

"I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God." — Ecclesiastes 3:12-13

God wants us to enjoy the life He’s given us. Not just big moments, but the small, everyday ones too. Here are some ideas to soak in today:

Enjoy time with your kids.
Enjoy the drive.
Enjoy the coffee.
Enjoy the interruption—stay curious, what’s God doing?
Enjoy slowing down.
Enjoy making a mess.
Enjoy cooking a meal.
Enjoy the meal you cooked!
Enjoy giving a compliment.
Enjoy answering the phone.
Enjoy taking a walk.
Enjoy being there for someone.
Enjoy praying and talking with God.
Enjoy snuggling your pups.
Enjoy the noise from your kids today.
Enjoy the nighttime wind down.
Enjoy the giggles and the crazy.
Enjoy climbing into bed.
Enjoy tucking your phone into a drawer.
Enjoy a conversation.
Enjoy LIFE, right in front of you.

Today, pick a few things from this list and linger in them a little longer. Let the joy God gave you sink in.

✨ If you want more encouragement & focus on living a life full of ENJOYMENT, I offer 1:1 coaching and a group membership where we’re focusing this month on *enjoying* the life God has given us (it’s all a gift), growing in Jesus, and supporting each other as women learning through life together.

For September, I’m committing to zero scrolling on social. My brain already feels lighter. 💛 But there are still moments I want to park here just for the joy of them!

Yesterday, Selah got her first official “big girl” haircut. She’s had a trim before, but this was her first salon experience and it was SO fun. One of those mom-days I purely enjoyed and will always remember.

We’d been looking forward to this mommy-daughter day: breakfast, Bible study, then the salon, both of us getting our hair done. “It’s going to be so fun and fancy!” I told her… she loves fancy. 💖

We did my hair first, then while my dye was setting, she got hers.. 5-6 inches off! She smiled the whole way through (seriously, .wilson.hair you’re a champ!). Afterward, we went dress shopping with her birthday gift card. She picked a dress, necklace, and bracelet, then helped me try on a few things. I love hearing her opinions!

Days like this make me reflect: Are we truly enjoying the life God has given us? Life has challenges, yes.. but are we tasting our morning coffee, feeling the crisp fall air, loving our people, or seeing a messy house as a sign of joy and life?

I think back to childhood, sliding down the stairs on a fold-n-go, couch cushion forts, hours of messy Barbie play. Messy? Yes. Chaotic? Definitely. But pure joy. What a gift.

I want more of that joy.. not always consuming, doing more, learning.. but truly *enjoying* the life God has given us. Thank you, Jesus, for the full life! 🙏

John 10:10 – "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

✨ This month at Live Brightly, our theme is ENJOYMENT — enjoying what you have, right now. The grass isn’t greener over there; it’s greener where you water it. Want more Jesus, contentment, and joy, plus a community of women growing together? JOIN US. 💛 Link in bio!

You are the one I can’t live without 💛

Happy anniversary to the guy who’s been my #1 since we first became friends at 14.

I love you with every fiber of my being and am so grateful for you, your love, care, provision, protection, sarcasm, loyalty, constant real/true encouragement…

Your ability to always level me out. To point me toward the best choices. To support me.

I still remember the moment I realized I was in LOVE with you. Basketball shorts, sweatshirt, coziness and all. Thinking: “I do not want to do one day of my life without this guy.”

You amaze me. You’ve been through so much, yet have always stayed so strong. You are the most helpful, hands on partner. So caring of my (& Selah’s) needs. Always always always putting us first.

We get the very very very best of you. And I could not be more grateful. Happy 11 years. Truly, truly, truly, I just love you more as time goes on.

Thank you for loving me, for loving us, and for loving God. Because the more you love Him, the better you keep on lovin’ us — and it’s so easy to see 🥰

Happy 11 to the guy who it’s nearly impossible to pick 20 photos of us to share! 11 years married, 20 years my best friend.

I hope you know — and I’ll say it in person — just how much you are THE most important and special person in the world to us. You make us “us” 🥰

Processing out loud helps us hear what’s actually true.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It happens all the time. A client will hop on a coaching call and start talking and by the time we’re wrapping up, she feels totally different. I’ll ask, “How do you feel now?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just this week, my client responded: “Like my shoulders have dropped.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a moment like this yesterday, too. I was swirling in my head. I walked. Prayed. Journaled. But I just knew I needed to talk out loud.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I texted my husband a few things, and in his wisdom, he stepped outside and called me. By the end of our conversation I texted him: “I am so lucky to have you. I love you.” He was so supportive. He listened. He offered an encouraging perspective. He asked questions. He gave me space to process.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And this is exactly what I get to do, consistently, for my private coaching clients.​
Listen. Ask questions to bring clarity. Hold space while the swirl settles.
We need people in our corner who will listen.
And while today my husband was that person for me, clients often tell me that coaching brings a relief to their relationships.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A woman might begin coaching after spending the past year in a funk, talking to her partner about it constantly. She may feel like it’s all she can think about, and it starts to cloud the relationship.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She’s tired of feeling like all she talks about is herself... and still not getting unstuck.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you have a coach, you have a dedicated space to process. To lay it all out–like dumping a pile of laundry on the bed–and then someone helps you sort, fold, and put it all away.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You walk away feeling lightyears clearer.
It’s scheduled. It’s consistent.
You know support is coming again.
You have in-between encouragement.
You’re not alone.
You’re processing, sorting, and moving forward, steadily.
That’s the gift of processing.
And it’s available to you in coaching–so that you can live with more clarity, joy, and presence… and feel more whole.

One of my favorite stories is about a client who found me online while she was searching for help redoing her wardrobe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That search led her to a blog post and podcast episode where I had shared about redoing my wardrobe years ago…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And through that, she was introduced to Christian coaching – something she hadn’t even considered before.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She just knew she’d been feeling off. Like she was carrying a weight she couldn’t name. Disconnected from herself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the time, she really wanted to feel like herself again. She wanted out of the stuck-ness.
She wanted to let go of fear, anxiety, and self-doubt.
She was a mom, and felt like she had lost touch with the woman she used to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her husband actually encouraged her to reach out and invest in herself. He could tell she wasn’t feeling like herself, and he wanted to help support her.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She stepped out in faith. Even though she wasn’t sure she should invest in herself… she did it anyway.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And looking back, she says it was the exact step of faith she needed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Through Christ-centered coaching, she now describes her days like this:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I am living with a deep sense of peace and joy. When challenges come, I feel strengthened, equipped, and confident in who God created me to be. I am overflowing with gratitude.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Her encouragement to you – especially if you feel like she once did, buried under a weight you can’t name and unsure of where to start – is this:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Paige is a gifted coach with a heart rooted in faith. No matter what season of life you’re in, I believe she can be a powerful and supportive resource on your journey to growth, clarity, and wholeness in Christ.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just opened up a few spaces to coach with me 1:1 to help you live as the free woman you are in Christ. To come alongside you as an encourager and a support. You’re not alone and your growth, and it doesn’t have to feel as hard or daunting as it might feel right now. I’d like to show that to you. 🫶
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s a link in my bio to apply for one of these spaces.

This is the story of a mom, wife, and woman of God giving herself permission to change. To stop sitting under a weight I couldn’t name. To step into a new season of who I wanted to be.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A woman who longed to feel fully connected to her truest self in Christ.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I already felt like myself in so many ways. But there were still a few places–quiet, hidden places–where I hadn’t let myself become fully new. I wanted to experience lightness in every area. FULLY.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why are we so afraid to say yes to that? To “fully”? It’s amazing over here. God doesn’t do halfway healing. He finishes what He starts. And becoming fully myself in Him has been the most freeing thing I’ve ever done.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I made a decision. I got support. I moved forward. I invested in myself and started building a life that overflows with love, joy, kindness, and a real sense of thriving–in my life. Not in someone else’s.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I stopped staring at someone else’s grass and started tending to my own. I added the soil, the fertilizer, the water. I nurtured it. I planted seeds. And I let God be in charge of the growth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s my rhythm now: I tend to what’s mine, and trust Him to produce the fruit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think a lot of us want THAT kind of contentment. Not someone else’s life. Not a Pinterest-perfect life… that just feels like pressure and deep down, we *know* that’s not where peace comes from.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We want to enjoy what we already have. The people, the homes, the life God’s already placed in front of us. We want joy. Peace. Thankfulness. Delight. Renewal–in mind, body, and spirit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We want to feel light again. We want to feel like our whole selves. And we can.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s what this journey has been for me. That’s what I’m living in RIGHT now–physical, mental, and spiritual lightness. And it is so good. Truly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it’s what I want for you, too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I left an opportunity for you in the comments if you want to join me and this be your story, too 🫶 (all it takes is giving yourself permission to say YES to creating your new story, too)

You don’t have to strive to become these things.

You already are because of Jesus.

Stop your scroll and sit with me for a second.

I want you to pause and let God speak to you.

Maybe today you’re thinking of all the things you wish you could be… more patient, more present, more kind, more loving.

But here’s what I want to park on:

You already ARE those things because of Jesus and His death on the cross.

You don’t have to strive to become them.

Okay, so you weren’t patient last night with your kids.
Okay!
Take it to God.
Ask Him for help.
Ask Him to reveal your heart to you.

A friend said to me this week, “What insults the mind reveals the heart.” Phew. 😮‍💨

So let’s take what offends our minds… to God.
And let’s accept our new identities in Him.

It’s not about pretending to be a patient, joyful woman until you become her.

It’s about learning why what Jesus did on the cross matters.

How it put you back into perfect relationship with a God who loves you, chose you, created you — and who delights in you.

It’s about really, really taking to heart that grace is a free gift.

There’s nothing you can do to earn it.

No striving. No checklist. No perfect record.
Just… receiving. Accepting. Resting in it.

Then and only then can we live freely and lightly.

Because we know we’re free to experience peace, joy, love, and deep relationship with the God who calls us His own.

Then, and only then, can we slow down with trust and ask ourselves:

“I am a free woman in Christ.
What would an absolutely free woman choose?”

Grace first.
Bright life choices next.

This is what it is to Live Brightly™ – as a woman deeply loved, grounded, and rooted in Christ.

In Him, you will find wholeness.
Peace.
Joy.
Everything your soul is chasing after today.
