On this episode of Trending with Timmerie, HGTV designer Paige Rienzo opens up about her powerful journey of healing from addiction, finding faith, and breaking free from New Age spirituality. After years of battling destructive habits with food, alcohol, spending, and work, Paige found herself in multiple 12-step programs searching for peace and purpose.
But as she tells Timmerie, the road to recovery came with its own dangers. Many in the recovery community, she explains, are offered “a counterfeit spirituality” – a blend of New Age practices like yoga, crystals, and Eastern meditation that mimic faith but lack Christ. Paige shares how this subtle drift pulled her away from truth before she encountered the real healing power of Jesus and the Catholic Church.
She reflects on the emptiness of “spiritual but not religious” culture and how authentic healing only happens through surrender, prayer, and the sacraments. Her story is one of courage, conversion, and rediscovering her worth in God – a reminder that no amount of self-help or self-improvement can replace divine grace.
