3 Way Pod Takeover: Catching Up & Single Girl Luck

#244. 3 Way Pod is taking over Note to Self in this chatty episode for the girls. Kristen is sharing how to manifest abundance and stay lucky (hint: it’s removing men from your life), Emon is asking very Emon questions, and the girls descend into chaos by the end of the episode (probably from the many beverages consumed before and during recording). Happy 3 Way day!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                FOLLOW PAYTON:https://instagram.com/paytonross  https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainhhSUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF:→ Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8 Sponsors:Free People: Visit www.freepeople.com/notetoself to shop their full line of activewear and workout gearSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Going Back to School in my 30s, Getting Out of a Bad Luck Spiral, & Answering Listener Questions

#243. I’m going back to school! In this episode, we are discussing my choice to go back to school in my early 30s– the why, the what, the what happens next, and what to do when you find yourself in an era of bad luck. Consider this a bit of a life update and release of the negative energy I’ve been accidentally absorbing for the last 2 weeks. It’s a spoken evil eye of sorts. Then, we’re answering listener questions from recent Instagram Q&As. Overall, a very chatty, girly episode.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            FOLLOW PAYTON:https://instagram.com/paytonross  https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainhhSUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF:→ Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8 Sponsors:Wayfair: Head to Wayfair.com April 25th through the 27th to shop Way DayFree People: Visit www.freepeople.com/notetoself to shop their full line of activewear and workout gearSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Art of Curation: Build a Life That’s Unmistakably Yours

#240. Curation gets talked about like it's an aesthetic practice — a considered wardrobe, a beautiful home, a feed that looks a certain way. But the version I have been sitting with lately goes deeper than that. In this episode, I make the case that a truly curated life isn't built for presentation; it's built for self-knowledge. The things you keep, the rituals you protect, the choices you make when no one is watching — they aren't a mood board. They’re part of a larger portrait. This is about learning to tell the difference, and how fun life can become when you do.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               FOLLOW PAYTON:https://instagram.com/paytonross  https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainhhSUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF:→ Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8 Sponsors:Lola Blankets: Get 40% off select Lola Blankets products at Lolablankets.com by using code NOTETOSELF at checkout.

ASK P: On Love, Friendship, and Over-Analyzing vs. Self-Trust

#239. We've been handed every framework imaginable for navigating love — the checklists, the red flags, the attachment style deep dives. And somehow we're still confused. Because the problem was never information. It was nerve. This week on Ask P, we're getting into the questions you actually sent — two crushes in the same friend group, holding your standards after a great relationship ends, rebuilding trust after a breakup, the name change debate, and how to show up for a friend who keeps choosing someone wrong for her. This one is for every woman who already knows the answer and just needs permission to trust it.SHOP THE EPISODE: https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/4429102                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               FOLLOW PAYTON:https://instagram.com/paytonsartain  https://www.tiktok.com/@paytonsartain https://youtube.com/c/paytonsartainhhSUBMIT TO NOTE TO SELF:→ Ask P: Advice Column: https://forms.gle/avvSu4ibYygZP5rq8 Sponsors:Free People Movement: Visit www.freepeople.com/notetoself to shop their full line of activewear and workout gearWayfair: Head to Wayfair.com right now to shop all things homeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
