Hey, curious one 🩷

I’m Paige.

Podcaster. Researcher. Consciousness explorer. Professional asker of deep questions.

I host On The Same Paige, where I sit down with smart people to have conversations about the big mysteries.

What We Explore Here

It’s a weird time to be human, huh? We’re swamped with information, urgency and uncertainty.

But both experiencing altered states of consciousness and the research into them gives us some fascinating questions to work with: who are we, what’s real, and how might we realise more of our potential?

In this corner of the internet, I take those questions seriously - and I do so without rushing to explain people’s experiences away or deciding with blind faith that they prove something we can’t actually know.

Together, you and I will look at things from all angles: conversations with scientists, practitioners, educators and people like us who’ve been through things that are difficult to explain. We’ll sift through research, competing ideas and lived experience - and I’ll share my own mind-melding experiments with candor and curiosity.

The Gist of On The Same Paige

The podcast and my Youtube channel are where the conversations begin. But Substack is where we keep tugging on the threads.

Each week, I take something I’m learning, testing or questioning and bring you along for the investigation. I’ll share what’s working to shift my perspective and what I think is absolutely woo-woo fluff.

If you choose not to pay, that’s cool. You’ll still get plenty of value from being a subscriber. But paid members get the practical bit. Think: the actual tools for living better and reaching our potential in a world that can feel increasingly fast, noisy and unsettling. No psychedelics required.

Why This Matters

Our fast-paced world is quick to trade nuance for certainty. We’re living in a time that really likes definitiveness.

Have a take. Pick a side. Keep up. Know the answers. Optimise or perish.

Meanwhile, we’re all still walking around with major unanswered questions:

Who are we?
How much can we trust ourselves?
What does that trust actually feel like?
What’s real?
What matters?
What are we capable of?

I’ll never tell you what to believe. But I am here to give you new perspectives, sharper discernment and useful things to take back into your own life.

And for the record, I don’t think being in altered states hand us the answers, either. But they do give us a pretty fascinating way into the questions. They can change what we pay attention to, what we believe, what we value and ultimately, how we choose to live.


“Paige has a gentle way of encouraging deep thought. She creates a non-judgemental space for conversation and reflection, which always leads to novel and powerful insights.”

— Dr. Lindsie Catherine Arthur, Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne


If you’re inquisitive, open-minded, & a healthy skeptic - welcome. You're among friends.

Stay curious,
