ASK P: Life Audit Framework, Advice to my 21-Year-Old Self, Staying Grounded & a New Year Check-In with your Partner

#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.

The Year That Unmade Me (Reckoning Before the Reset)

#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.

Love P

Chickenfingyfriday

I love NTS! I’ve been listening for almost 3 years. I have some many similarities to P with how we grew up to college experience. As an oldest of 3, I’ve truly learned so much and she’s helped me through so many things. NEVER LEAVE US P!!!
Fav Pod!

I love how authentic Payton is, and the way she talks about important things going on in the world unlike a lot of DM podcasts
Interview skills

LA01222

I love the solo eps sm but the interviews always become useless. Payton will ask 2-3 questions in the beginning then the whole ep turns into the “me and Joe” show and she talks about herself and fiancé the whole time without letting the guest speak. I was so excited for the episode with Les but per usual the convo fell off a cliff after the first 15 min or so and Payton never let her speak after that.
