Description: If you've ever made a purchase you instantly regretted — or wondered why you keep impulse spending even though you "know better" — this episode is for you. In this masterclass-style episode, Paige walks you through her three core pillars for going from impulsive spending to intentional spending — without restriction, guilt, or rigid rules. You'll learn why impulse spending isn't actually about the thing you're buying, how urgency and dopamine hijack your decision-making, and what it really takes to slow down your purchases in a world designed to make you buy now. This episode breaks down the practical tools and the emotional work required to become someone who spends with purpose, clarity, and confidence — even when emotions are high and logic feels low. 🎧 In this episode, you'll learn: The real difference between impulsive spending and intentional spending Why impulse purchases often lead to regret, clutter, and depleted savings How to use distance, pause protocols, and consumption commandments to slow down spending How to uncover the emotional promise behind impulse buys Why dopamine drives impulsive spending — and how to replace it in healthier ways How to quiet your inner "money mean girl" and tolerate unmet desire Why identity is the final key to becoming an intentional spender This episode will help you stop reacting to urges, start trusting yourself with money again, and build a spending approach that actually supports the life you want to live. Listen closely — and come back to this one often.   Work with Paige: Join my Elevate Workshop: End Emotional Shopping & Expand Your Inner Wealth Join Overcoming Overspending HERE   Connect with Paige Online: Her Website IG: @overcoming_overspending TikTok: @overcoming_overspending Subscribe to Paige's YouTube Channel
