    ASK P: learning to be less reactive, breaking up with a good partner, & do I move on or wait for him to change?

    #217. We’re kicking off this episode of ASK P with a few personal anecdotes ranging from luteal phase rage to calmly settling into my new home & routine. The girls were really into relationship chats this week, so we’re talking the ‘to move on or wait for him to realize we’re perfect for eachother’ phase of a breakup, as well as continuing last week’s convo on leaving a good relationship for the right reasons. Lastly, we’re coming up with possible solutions for your over-reactive era, because sometimes we’re just at our wits end.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        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  Episode Sponsors: Peloton: Let yourself run, lift, sculpt, push, and go.

    Leaving a Good Relationship for the Right Reasons (a Lesson in Choosing Yourself), with Margot Lee

    #216. 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.

    The Sex Talk You Never Got: Working Through Shame, Sex in Long-Term Relationships, Orgasms, & more with Dr. Tara

    #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.
