    Rich Girl Rituals: Money as Self-Care, with Ariel LaFond

    #210. What if your financial plan received the same amount of care as your skincare routine? In this episode, fractional CFO and "dumb rich" newsletter creator Ariel LaFond joins me to reframe money as wellness. We're breaking down the HENRY trap (High Earner, Not Rich Yet), sharing financial rituals that actually work, and building budgets that include joy—not just survival.

    ASK P: hooking up with exes, outgrowing friendships, finances in a relationship, etc

    #205. In this Ask P episode, we’re talking through the messy, beautiful in-betweens of life and love. I’m answering listener questions about hooking up with an ex you’re not over, wanting a dog when you’re not settled down, and moving cities for your partner’s career when you’re still building your own. These aren’t black-and-white situations — there isn’t always a “correct” answer to some of life’s questions. If you’ve ever felt pulled between freedom and connection, or between control and letting go, this one’s for you.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           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: Find Simply Pop and any of its five juicy flavors by visiting us online at cokeurl.com/simplyPOP.  Give your summer closet an upgrade—with Quince.

    You’re Allowed to Reinvent Yourself, with Violet Witchel

    #204. Violet Witchel, aka the Dense Bean Salad Girl (my fav), earned a degree in economics and swam competitively in college—then walked away from it all for culinary school. What began as a single recipe turned into a viral movement and a nationwide pop-up series. In this episode, we talk about the courage it takes to choose a different life, how to follow an idea that makes no sense on paper, and what reinvention really looks like. For anyone questioning the plan they thought they had to follow—this one’s for you.                                                                                                                                                                                                           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: Give your summer closet an upgrade—with Quince.
