211: Overspending on Gifts: When "More" or Expensive Starts to Mean Love
Description
Do you secretly believe the more expensive or extravagant the gift, the more love it shows?
In this episode, Paige pulls back the curtain on the gift-giving guilt spiral that fuels so much unnecessary overspending — especially during the holidays. She explores why we associate “meaningful” with “expensive” or “voluminous,” how our culture reinforces that belief, and why even thoughtful gift-givers can feel depleted, resentful, or broke.
You’ll learn:
• Why we confuse financial sacrifice with emotional significance
• The surprising science of what recipients actually value most
• How to give (and receive) gifts without losing yourself in the process
Whether you're a gift-lover or gift-averse, this episode will help you untangle your spending from your self-worth — and finally take back control of your gift-giving with clarity, compassion, and intention.
🎧 Plus: Paige shares a budgeting hack that makes year-round gifting feel stress-free and shame-free.
