Your Life; Your Recipe - A Guided Visualization

The Women in the Arena

In this episode, Paige takes us on a reflective journey through a guided visualization, unveiling a piece of her Elevate framework titled "Your Life, Your Recipe." As the meditation unfolds, listeners are invited to close their eyes and envision their lives in the year 2024, considering the "how" and "where" of their desires. Paige prompts a crucial reminder that this recipe is a reflection of their truest desires.

Amidst the hustle of our daily lives, Paige emphasizes the importance of slowing down and embracing the essence of being human, not just human doings. The episode concludes with Paige encouraging listeners to reflect on their meditation experience and ponder whether they allowed themselves to lean into what they truly want. This thoughtful exploration addresses the challenge high-achieving women face in embracing being over doing.
