#224. In this Ask P episode, I’m answering four of your questions to close out the year: how to audit yourself honestly without self-destruction, what I’d tell my 21-year-old self about timelines and dating, how to stay grounded while building your life in your twenties, and the framework Joe and I use for our annual partnership check-in. We’re talking about growth with grace, trusting your own timeline, protecting what matters, and making sure you’re building a life—not just performing one. Consider this your end-of-year toolkit for staying intentional, aligned, and honest with yourself as you head into 2026.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     FOLLOW PAYTON: https://instagram.com/paytonsartain   https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain  https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainhh SUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF: → Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8  Sponsors: Visit 47brand.com to shop best sellers and new arrivals Canopy: Go to getcanopy.co to save $25 on your Canopy Humidifier purchase today with Canopy’s filter subscription.

#223. This year was simultaneously the best and worst of my life, and I need to talk about it before we close out 2025. I got married and made a home, but I also fell apart—moved twice, worked through emotional exhaustion, developed a bitterness I didn't recognize, and met parts of myself I didn't want to meet. If you're ending this year feeling overwhelmed from the weight of it all, like you can't wrap it up neatly before January 1st, this one's for you.                                                                                                                                                                                                          FOLLOW PAYTON: https://instagram.com/paytonsartain   https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain  https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainhh SUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF: → Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8  Sponsors: Chase: Head to Chase.com/holidayscams for tips, tools, and resources to help keep your finances safe Visit 47brand.com to shop best sellers and new arrivals Canopy: Go to getcanopy.co to save $25 on your Canopy Humidifier purchase today with Canopy’s filter subscription.

#215. Margot Lee is an OG YouTube creator and founder of No Particular Order. After moving to London for her longtime boyfriend, she faced one of life’s hardest truths: sometimes two people can love each other deeply and want completely different futures. In this conversation, we talk about how wanting different things isn’t a failure, and why coming home to yourself is the bravest decision one could make. This one’s for anyone who’s ever wondered if choosing yourself over a good relationship makes you selfish— note to you: it doesn't.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​                                                                                                                                                                                                       FOLLOW PAYTON: https://instagram.com/paytonsartain   https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain  https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainhh https://amazon.com/shop/paytonsartain  https://pinterest.com/paytonsartain  SUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF: → Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8  → Simple Pleasures: https://forms.gle/PFmEU9BFRtyE7Dt57  → Your ICKS: https://forms.gle/pgcr9LhmyyvyAyVk7 → Most Embarrassing Stories: https://forms.gle/qpZBp9bxdcH77Utf8 → Little Acts of Love: https://forms.gle/ReEoo6HBoC4QspQs9 → Juicy Confessions: https://forms.gle/Uuz5KdUkC4c3NnFw5 Episode Sponsors: Peloton: Let yourself run, lift, sculpt, push, and go.

#213. Dr. Tara brings her PhD expertise in human sexuality to tackle the conversations most of us are still too uncomfortable to have—from unlearning sexual shame to talking about what you actually want with a long-term partner. She addresses realities like foreplay that no one discusses openly, and offers concrete guidance for women who have never experienced orgasm. With frank expertise, Dr. Tara explains why good sex education starts with unlearning the shame we've all absorbed and provides strategies for having the conversations that could transform your intimate life. This isn't typical "spice things up" advice—it's about fundamentally changing how we think and talk about pleasure, desire, and sexual communication.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      FOLLOW PAYTON: https://instagram.com/paytonsartain   https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain  https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainhh https://amazon.com/shop/paytonsartain  https://pinterest.com/paytonsartain  SUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF: → Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8  → Simple Pleasures: https://forms.gle/PFmEU9BFRtyE7Dt57  → Your ICKS: https://forms.gle/pgcr9LhmyyvyAyVk7 → Most Embarrassing Stories: https://forms.gle/qpZBp9bxdcH77Utf8 → Little Acts of Love: https://forms.gle/ReEoo6HBoC4QspQs9 → Juicy Confessions: https://forms.gle/Uuz5KdUkC4c3NnFw5 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
