A LOOK Into PaigeβS HEART
MY STORY
Hey there! Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, here are a few things you should know about me. First off, Iβm an old soul at heartβdonβt be surprised if you catch me with an early bedtime, a cozy glass of hot tea, and a cute PJ set (itβs my vibe). I also believe in the power of humor to get through lifeβs heavy moments. My motto - Take life seriously, just donβt take yourself too seriously. Trust me, sometimes all you need to turn a moment around is a good laugh. .
Now, you might be asking yourself, Paige, how have you come to these revelations? The truth is, itβs been my personal experience. While I do have higher education, the best lessons Iβve been taught have come through the real, raw, painful moments and the thousands of mistakes Iβve made along the way. These moments are where my greatest growth and wisdom have come from.
Iβm the youngest of 5 siblings and grew up in a small town in Illinois, surrounded by a huge, loving extended family. But by the time I made my grand debut into the world, my once βpicture-perfectβ family was beginning to slip apart. My parentsβ marriage was unraveling, my dad struggled with a painful addiction to alcohol that turned him into a man he wasnβt proud of, and eventually, my mom made the difficult decision to get a divorce which resulted in her becoming a single mom. She worked tirelessly, raising us on one income, navigating the messiness of divorce in a small town where everyone knew everyone, all while holding onto the belief that with hard work and faith, you could achieve your desires in life.
As a child, witnessing the abuse from my fatherβs addiction, the lack of resources and support for families in rural America, and my deep desire to be authentically known, all stuck with me. Who am I kiddingβthose items shaped me. From a young age, I felt this intense need to always be doing something, changing myself to fit into these tiny, acceptable boxes. The truth was, I was tired of standing outβtired of being the girl with the absent father, the girl from the broken home. I just wanted to exist. That desperate desire led me down a destructive path, constantly seeking validation through othersβ opinions and my accomplishments.
Then, everything changed when Jesus took hold of my heart. I found a sense of peace and acceptance I had never known before. It wasnβt an overnight transformation, but slowly, through faith and community, I began to embrace my true self. The pressure to fit into those βtiny boxesβ faded, and a growing confidence in my own unique journey began to take its place.
As part of this healing journey, God restored my relationship with my father before he passed. It was a profound and beautiful moment of reconciliation, allowing me to forgive and be forgiven. That restoration brought healing not just to me but also to my entire family. In adulthood, weβve come back together in ways I never imagined possible, and now, weβre stronger and more united than ever before.
I made a promise to myself that I would use my story to show people that with hard work, faith, and love, anything is possible.That promise became the foundation for everything Iβve built. It led me to create businesses and a nonprofitβThe Boundless Trailerβto provide the same sense of community, support, and framework that I wish I had growing up. I wanted to create spaces where others could feel seen, heard, and empowered to live a life they are proud of. I also turned to writing, pouring my heart into works of literature that share the lessons Iβve learned and the strength Iβve gained.
These endeavors are more than just businessesβtheyβre the legacy I want to leave behind: a legacy of hope, resilience, and the undeniable truth that, no matter where you start, with the right support, anything is possible. Looking back on my journey, I am filled with gratitude for the growth that has come from those early struggles.
I am proud of the person Iβve become and the path Iβm walking now. My story is a testament to the transformative power of faith, resilience, and the incredible strength that comes from vulnerability and authenticity.
and if your reading this thinking this isnβt possible for your life, YOUR WRONG - God is in the business of restoring broken people & situations!
Let me help you take your past and turn it into a beautiful story that you can be proud of!

Iβve always used writing as a way to cope and process the ups and downs of life. For me, itβs been a space where I could find clarity, release emotions, and make sense of my own journey. My hope is that through my writing, others can find a framework for their own healing and growthβwhether thatβs through the lessons Iβve learned or the stories Iβve shared.
Iβm excited to introduce my first childrenβs book, Hope On Wheels: A Girlβs Journey to Change the World, coming out in 2025! Itβs a story close to my heart that reflects the power of hope, resilience, and the belief that anyoneβno matter their circumstancesβhas the ability to change the world.
