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.

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.
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.

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.Learn more: paigeschmidt.comWork 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!Email her directly: paige@paigeschmidt.comInstagram: @paigeschmidt
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.
Feeling overwhelmed and running on your own strength? In this episode, we look at the difference between our grace—self-sufficiency that often leads to burnout—and *His* Grace, which empowers, sustains, and carries us through. If you're ready to stop striving and start trusting, this episode is for you!

The world feels so loud right now. Social media is noisy, and it can feel like there's pressure to post, to have strong opinions, to take sides. Some days you may feel seen and loved; other days, maybe judged or misunderstood. But remember, what matters most is that God knows your heart. And from the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks. So take a moment to breathe. Get quiet. Go to God, and ask Him to align your heart with His. Love Him, love others, and be slow to judge. Only God truly knows our hearts, so leave it to Him. Love you all so much. This is my last episode for 2024–I'll be taking a break from the podcast and Instagram, and enjoy the quiet olden golden days of blogging over on Substack. Picture: hot coffee, early mornings, writing. Join me there for peace, quiet, and drawing close to God. Subscribe for free: https://livebrightly.substack.com/
Moving from "feeling" worthy to knowing our worth as rooted in Christ requires a shift in our mindset and faith. When we base our worth on external circumstances—like career, relationships, or health—we tie our value to things that are temporary, unstable, and can fluctuate. However, true worth is not about what we do or what happens to us; it's about who we are in Christ.

This episode will encourage those of you who find yourself in a cycle of seeking external validation to feel good about yourself. When we're seeking external validation we're like a sponge; we soak it up and feel good one moment, and dry out and seek more the next–living by means of external validation to feel good about ourselves puts us on a roller coaster of emotion (and moods) and makes life feel a lot harder. In this episode, I hope to encourage you to find your significance in the One who created you instead, for greater peace and wholeness.

If you're someone who struggles with decision fatigue or feeling overwhelmed by having too many decisions, this episode is for you. In it, we'll talk about the cycle of making decisions that lead to life, joy, and reliance on God (bringing us closer to Him), and decisions that lead to habitual sin, addiction, and strongholds that separate us from God and make us feel distant from Him. I hope that you're encouraged as you listen to live your brightest life (say yes to God's best for you!) as you lean on and make decisions with Him.

We dive into the nitty-gritty of taking steps that really matter, choosing paths that light us up, and the magic of having a vision of our finish line. It's about turning the tables on being the person who starts but never finishes, to becoming a woman of follow-through, deeply committed to the visions that matter most. We talk about the power of focusing on the joy of completion rather than getting stuck in the planning phase, and the power of having a deeply meaningful vision to propel us. Ultimately, this episode will show you why living each day with the question “What am I moving toward?” will help guide you toward a bright and purposeful life with God–a life of joy, peace, and purpose.

In this episode, we talk about dopamine and how it affects our habits - the ones that light us up in all the right ways and the ones that, well, kind of don't. We're talking about the difference between grabbing quick fixes of happiness and building deeply satisfying habits that truly make us shine. Leaning on the wisdom from 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 and Hebrews 12:1, we get real about asking God to give us the strength to live out our best lives, filled with joy, peace, and purpose. Imagine running your race in such a standout way that you're not just going through the motions, but you're aiming for that eternal prize with every step. We're here to figure out together which habits are holding us back and which ones are pushing us forward into awesomeness. So, let's get excited about what God's love and His plans can do in the lives of His daughters. Get ready to be inspired to live a life that's not just common but extraordinary with God by your side–“be odd”!

In this episode we discuss the difference between allowing ourselves to be shaped by God (becoming) and striving (do it yourself, try hard, push). Let's challenge one another to surrender to the Creator God and Master Artist, hand Him the paintbrush of our lives, and show us His path, as we trust Him. We are not self-improvement-project's, rather, we're created with beauty and goodness for a purpose. Let's live this way, and enjoy the inner peace that follows.

In this empowering episode, we go into the concept of with-God confidence, embracing the assurance that God is leading us and we can trust in His plan.

As we surrender to Him, we discover that we need not be afraid, for He will use every aspect of our lives for good.

In this episode, we draw inspiration from Hebrews 12:1 and explore the call to let go of anything that hinders and weighs us down in our faith journey. Building upon the metaphor of Jesus as the vine and believers as the branches from John 15, we look at the significance of staying connected to Christ for spiritual nourishment and more fruit in our lives. Together, we reflect on the concept of pruning and have a supportive conversation where we can each safely reflect on the areas in our lives that require pruning, asking God to meet us right in the middle of it all.

This year (well, in 2022) I found Byron Katie's work and while I want to say I do not follow her work as a spiritual practice I do use a couple of her concepts as tools. One of those concepts is to do what she calls a “turnaround”. Turnarounds are when you take a thought and look at it from every possible angle and opposite and find a statement as true, or truer than what you had been thinking previously. This helps you release the stress a thought is causing you. Read the blog post: https://www.paigeschmidt.com/how-to-turn-a-thought-around-turnarounds/ Want Coaching?
