Raising kids on a ranch with cows, chickens, and horses isnât the typical image of modern motherhoodâbut for Paige Murray, itâs exactly the life she envisioned for herself.
Paige is a former broadcast journalist, rodeo reporter, and full-time mom. Her experience living on the ranch inspired her to write Rosieâs Wild Ride, a children's book about the lessons her daughter Oakley learned by being immersed in nature.
We talked with Paige about how she survived the hardest years of motherhood by finding creative outlets like running, writing, and leaning into community support. Her story is a reminder to embrace the season youâre in, allowing your dreams to evolve and grow in ways you may not have expected.
In this episode, youâll learn:
Embrace Each Season of Life: Paige emphasizes the importance of accepting the different seasons of motherhood and life. She shares how she put her dreams on hold when her daughter was young, focusing all her energy on being a mom. By embracing the moment, she found peace in knowing that her time for personal pursuits would come again.Dream Big and Start Small: Whether it was running a marathon or writing her childrenâs book, Paigeâs advice is to start small and chip away at your dreams. Her journey to becoming a published author began with simply putting pen to paper, trusting the process, and making steady progress toward her goals.Ranch Life Lessons for Motherhood: Living on a ranch taught Paige valuable lessons about responsibility, resilience, and hard workâlessons she now passes on to her daughter. She believes in encouraging children to explore their passions, embrace their unique talents, and develop confidence through both success and failure.
