Summary

This week on Brown Ambition, Mandi sits down with the powerhouse that is Page Turner—real estate broker, single mom, and the magnetic new host of HGTV’s Love It or List It. Page opens up about her incredible journey from hustling as a single mom to owning her spotlight on national TV. She gets real about what it takes to bounce back from life’s curveballs, trust your gut, and pivot with purpose.

We talk motherhood, money moves, and why it’s never too late to bet on yourself. Page drops gems on building confidence, tackling fear head-on, and leaving a legacy for the next generation. Plus, she gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the wild world of home renovations—what really goes down when family needs, budgets, and dreams collide.

If you’re ready for a dose of inspiration with a side of real talk, this one’s for you.

Watch Love It or List It Mondays at 10/9c on HGTV or stream it on Max.

0:00.0	What's up, B.I. Fam. It's your girl, Mandy Money. Welcome to another episode of Brown Ambition and this new thing that I'm trying out called Motivation Monday, where I bring you a highly inspirational one-on-one chat between me and someone iconic, someone who is living their dreams,
0:22.8	but someone who has a real story to tell about their journey, someone who's not going to give
0:28.2	you the overnight success, someone who's going to show you the grit, the grind, the resilience
0:33.2	that they've had to capture. And my guest this week is the Paige Turner.
0:38.1	Paige was on the show actually a couple of years ago.
0:40.6	But when I saw that she is the new co-host of one of the most iconic home improvement shows ever,
0:46.9	I'm talking about 20 seasons of this show on HGTV.
0:49.9	She is now the co-host of Love It or List It.
0:53.4	And Paige and I get into all of that, how she got the

1:28.8	How far would I be if I had just done it back then? You need to listen to this episode because Paige is going to
1:34.9	motivate you and inspire you with her own story just by showing you that it's not too late, that there is a
1:39.9	plan for all of us, that what is meant for us, that can't miss us. And she's really a testament
1:45.2	to just trusting in the journey. I hope y'all enjoy this episode. So I'll take a quick break
1:49.5	and be right back with more with my interview with Paige Turner from Leverett. You're listening to
1:55.1	an Iheart podcast. Run a business and not thinking about podcasting, think again.
